I am no expert on Pads, hence I am not even going to try to give you detailed info on whether this is better/worse than Kindle, Ipad, or any of the less than 50 Euro pads from markets.

I can just suppose that this is made to last better than those cheap Pads, and probably also has more power, for since part of the idea is to run Master Node in this, and it should be even suitable for mining – I suppose at the same time, then it can’t be ultimately unpowerful to be able to do so like the cheap market Pads to my knowledge are.

Gaia CryptoPAD has been a long way coming, already mentioned in the Telos discord channel in 2019, and now is finally here in that you can start buying them and deliveries start already roughly a month later, estimation being at the end of this month.

What Gaia CryptoPAD offers compared to other Pads is that it is aimed at Crypto stuff. Hence it will be suitable for running master nodes, as well as all Transcendence stuff, like keeping Dashboard open for 24/7 and even kept beside your bedside turned on to show what is happening in dashboard continuously, which is actually the reason why Dashboard was designed with its Orange color theme since it has been noticed that orange color display doesn’t bother the sleep the same as for example blue colors would.

For the first 100 CryptoPAD orders, there is some special included:

First is the 100k Telos coins that you can use to set up your master node to run with your CryptoPAD.

Another bonus is that first 100 CryptoPADs will also include a random standard card deck for Cryptomages.

How much worth is this standard Cryptomages deck is difficult to say since this is the first time I hear it being announced that this standard deck can be bought at all.

Naturally, the idea would be that when you buy CryptoPAD you would eventually make a profit – two different ways this time. If the price of Telos jumps back to 1 cent for example, you would already be on the winning side with the included Telos coins. Although you could argue that for the price of CryptoPAD you could already at current price buy more than 200k Telos Coins, wait for the 1 cent price, sell 100k away, and you would have more than the cost of CryptoPAD in Euros in your hand, and in addition, have the 100K still left for the CryptoPAD, making you be in an even better position than by directly buying CryptoPAD you had been.

But mystery is still if the value of those Cryptomages card deck is worth how much now and in the future, and will they even be available through any other method than through this.

To see more about technical details about the device, check these pictures about it and also the selling pages, notice also the docking deck in the article’s main picture which is optional to buy.

Or, you could also use it as your Point-of-Sale device which would accept both Crypto and FIAT payments, so when compared that at least here you need to pay several tens of euros a month from a card reader machine, and this is just a one-time payment, it could well be worth as an alternative or additional device to your card readers for your business, especially to prepare for the Crypto payments future.

The price of Gaia CryptoPAD depends upon where you buy it from. Roughly price is somewhat shy of 1 000 Euros when taxes are included in the price. If ordering to outside of the EU, you could get it even as low as only 750 Euros the cheapest version when taxes are not included. The optional Docking station will cost roughly 100 Euros more with taxes included.

Currently there should be three places where you can order them from, although one of the places I couldn’t confirm to be actually selling them.

Halal Solutions sells Gaia CryptoPAD for 899 and 999 Euros (with dock), probably excluding Taxes and from Halal Solutions you can only buy with FIAT money.

To buy with Crypto Currencies, you can turn towards Blueboxing.net, which is selling Gaia CryptoPAD for 755,46 and 839,50 Euros (with dock), excluding taxes.

The third place to buy, probably for Germans only would be Peerschweinchen.de, but at least when I checked its shop, I couldn’t find Gaia CryptoPAD from there, so what is the price, or is it even available, I cant confirm, I can just say that Halal Solutions sale page mentions Peerschweinchen as one of the places to buy Gaia CryptoPAD with Cryptocurrencies.

In Previous news item it was told how cryptocompare had upped its article quality by having some sponsored Telos article, and now we see Bitcoinist taking the same road with their VIM3 board Telos article.

It seems TELOSNEWS.COM is being challenged by some puny publications, but clearly they are still far away from the content quality that only TELOSNEWS.COM can provide you

Cryptocompare.com have took a notch up on quality of their articles by releasing an article about Teloscoin.

Sadly it seems it takes a sponsored article to make them finally write something worth writing about, but regardless, they finally did it, they wrote something worth reading.

The article mainly tells about VIM3 boards, which all the good news medias have of course already reported about a long time ago, but it also gives some brief mentions of other Telos things, so well worth a read.

Someone threw a good idea, Pascal catched it, and only a couple of days later the land of Telos has a new product for people to throw their easy or hard-earned money at.

CPU mining is its own thing, and just like with your grandfathers Bitcoin ASIC Miners, it is always a question of Power Efficiency as in Power vs Energy consumption. However, unlike in Great Grandfathers Bitcoin machines, modern day CPU coins dont aim at getting Super Computer worth of power with a dedicated Nuclear Powerplant, but it is rather a quest for minimum Energy consumption with Maximum calculation power output.

For this Raspberry Pis and the rest have always been in miners interest, and while they are making more powerful versions of these little power horses, price tends to get up a bit too.

One of the more interesting ones currently in the market is the Vim3 board, but the cost is around 150 Euros, hence making them being a bit on the expensive side of things for miners with alternatives.

However, Pascal is now going to be putting a special order of customized Vim3 boards specifically aimed at miners by stripping down all the unnecessary stuff for miners, and leaving mainly the stuff needed, and as it happens to be, this drops the price quite much, actually, all the way to make it less than 100 Euros a board already, and if more orders come, the price might drop even more.

And yes, that is the nice part, he is not ordering just for himself, but he gives a chance for anyone else to join the order too, and this way the price could drop even more if enough buyers show up.

Currently he is offering 6 different options:

Early Bird, Miner Edition, Miner XBTX Edition, Miner Teloscoin Edition, Miner NHS Edition, and Cluster Editions.

Since there is lot of confusion on discord about this offer, I like to point out first that there is only one version of the board. So regardless which Edition you buy, you will always end up getting the same customized vim3 board, and regardless of the version you buy, you will be able to do exactly same with any edition, with possibly one exception.

The first four options, Early Bird, Miner Edition, XBTX and TELOSCOIN editions are very much one and same thing, with only difference being the method of pay.

If you buy XBTX edition, you will pay with XBTX.

If you buy TELOSCOIN edition, you will pay with Teloscoin.

You buy Miner edition or early bird edition, and you will pay with something else than XBTX/TELOS, as example, with Euros.

Especially with basic Miner Edition and Early Bird edition, only difference is the price. Early Bird edition, as name suggests, is meant for those who order first, and at some point Early Bird editions will run out of stock.

By other words. You have no reason to buy regular Mining edition as long as Early Bird edition exists, unless you simply want to pay more.

With XBTX and Teloscoin editions, there is also additional perk. For these editions include a T-shirt of your choice, from Telos/XBTX T-shirts.

Therefore if you think whether to buy regular Miner Edition or XBTX/Teloscoin edition, choice is obviously XBTX/Teloscoin since price is same, yet you get T-Shirt on top. There is absolutely no reason to buy regular miner edition unless you for some reason dont want to touch XBTX/Teloscoin at all but just want to buy the machine and miss the T-Shirt.

In addition, Teloscoin Edition brings even more benefit.

First of all, you will get 3 percent discount when paying with Teloscoin, this means that except for the Early Bird and cluster options, Teloscoin Edition is the cheapest.

And better than 3 percent discount on price, is the option to have Colocation for free.

For those who dont know what colocation means, it means that you wont receive the machine home, but it will instead stay at blueboxing.net offices ran by them, and they will even pay the electricity.

By other words, you dont lose any space and on top of that the board operates for free.

You can have colocation for other editions too but it will cost 50 Euros per board for them.

To put it in other way, Teloscoin edition is the nobrainer option from these editions since it is cheapest and on top offers even free colocation option, which is actually even more saving in sense that for every other edition, on top of the price you either pay colocation price or delivery to your home price. With Teloscoin edition you can save those by picking the free colocation. And even if you for some odd reason would at some point come to conclusion that colocation is not really for you, you can at that point ask them to send it to your home and pay the delivery price that you would have otherwise had to pay already before.

So no losses but only benefits from Teloscoin edition.

In addition to these 4 before mentioned editions, there are also 2 others.

First is the NHS edition.

NHS is Pascals NoHumanS, which I am not entirely sure what exactly it means in this case since as far as I know only Pascal owns any of them and hence I dont think it means the method of payment like with the other editions, but the price is around 10k Euros, and unfortunately, I am not able to tell any more about it, except it probably has to do with Pascals bot trading system where no humans are supposed to be involved, but only AI. But why the high price etc. no clue.

Second is the Cluster Editions.

Cluster edition means that you are buying at least 100 of these boards and they all work together. This is also why this option has a bit of extra price since it will take some work to set up and needs some equipment etc. to connect them all together. However, what makes this very appealing option is the colocation option, which is actually the only option for non-Germans, taking no space from you, and on top of that, Blueboxing will even pay for the electricity, meaning that theoretically you will one day be on the winning side just because of not needing to pay the electricity.

You could also choose to pay for example 100 or 200 VIM3 boards at once and get even more discount on the price. For example, buying 200 boards at once would drop the price by about another 10 percent compared to the early bird edition price.

For those interested in more technical details, including what have been left out of the board to make it cheaper, can check more from blueboxing.net:

and here

also worth a read is this one here

And as a last thing, Pascal have said in discord that he is planning and hoping to make the order to the factory by end of this month, so you might not have even 2 weeks to make your order.
And what comes to ordering, when paying with cryptos, when you have finished your order you will receive automessage to confirm your order. After this you will have to wait until you will receive the actual invoice which will also tell you how many coins of your chosen cryptocurrency you are supposed to pay.

Notice however that if you are not using the free colocation option, then the delivery/colocation payment will be done on second step at order fulfilment part when boards actually arrive at blueboxing.net instead of at order time.

Now hurry up if you want to get this great miner deal!
