He's got a point dangit. Anyway since thomas_s had to work but I'm sure it wouldn't exactly break his heart for all of us to buy more at-cost shares for his Industrial Class Rig GB debut as a co-GBC: Here's Round 4 since we ran out of shares in Round 3 in 12 hours. Shares are priced to move at only $69 each with NO MPP, repeat NO MPP. We can add this later via majority vote ($115 per share) but to secure this order, we're pricing it as $6,000. 1 share = 12-15GH/s est. to be Delivered on December 1. Please PM me for soft share reservations. Round 3 gents: Please get your funds in for R3 as soon as possible so I can send the largest possible payment for this. Round 4 gents: ** We only go to actual sales if we reach 85% soft reservations, or 85 shares reserved for Round 4. ** We aren't going to actual sales on R4 until 85 reservations held. However: if possible, you can send me your BTC for R4 so I can include it in tonight's down payment for 2 Sierras. In the unlikely event that we have to refund the entire R4 miner (or for my other Group Buys), there will be *NO* Restock fee! Just make sure to label your payments with the correct Round #, so I can track your payments. ==== Details at the following link: http://us7.campaign-archive2.com/?u=43a3515a4cff1032dafe95c87&id=9d981903ee&e=1cb2a901a6 Sept. 21, PM, EDIT, SITE CONFIRMATION: https://hashfast.com/shop/sierra-2/ Aww yeah! Who were the first GBCs here to offer you a 50%+ reserved 22.9% discounted Sierra? ;) :D ** If we need to buy a 2nd rig to get to 3.6TH/s or 4.8TH/s if we opt for the MPP: we ALL pay extra for extra hardware according to our share of the miner *if* it's voted that we assemble the miner somewhere instead of selling the extra 3rdX or 4thX chips (assuming we can mount 2X chips in a Sierra). ** Cheers! ==== [Round 3 INFO BELOW, CLOSED] 9/21, Early Afternoon, Round 3! Who woulda thunk? ??? Thank you to everyone that participated in Rounds 1 and 2 of my first Group Buys on this forum after 10 years of Ebay electronic re-sales and purchases without incident.

I also may have a few reserve shares on an Aug. 9 HashFast preorder, Order 616. Please PM for backup at-cost shares for R2 or R3. ===== UPDATE: 21 votes for MPP so far. 30 more votes needed for majority win. There are currently This Round 3 is being hosted by *two* GBCs with me being the Sr. GBC with override control, and providing remote admin, remote troubleshooting, miner payouts, shipping details, and resales of the R3 unit at possibly the 5-7 month mark of operations. I believe a GB with 2 co-GB Coordinators, is yet another first I may have brought to the GB forum as yet another innovation I've helped introduce. Details to follow. Please reserve your at-cost shares below to take advantage of this MPP Sierra at 1.2TH/s+ at $10,800 or $6,000, only for 72 hours. Why should you trust me? - I've organized 2 at-cost HashFast Group Buys in a democratic, open fashion in a little over a month for HF Orders 616 and 991: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=274055.0 - I run Group Buy Escrow Coordinator Services for the Group Buys / Custom Hardware forum at ultra low costs and faster response time then most any Escrow service available on the GB forum (Disclaimer: I'm only an Escrow Affiliate at BTCrow; not a full Escrow Agent but I can provide what I call are Escrow+ or Escrow Plus services, above and beyond what typcial Bitcoin Escrow services can provide).

Round 3: Price is $115 per share, which will provide $11.3K of purchasing power. UPDATE: Update: Here's the calculations without MPP and including the 1RU Control Unit user dropt pointed out: http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/82754b484b $6K Sierra without MPP vs. $10K with MPP. Opening up poll for MPP vs. non-MPP. Please let your opinions be heard & also vote publicly or privately so we can resolve this quickly. Pros: non-MPP = lower shares costs by about 40%. $69 shares vs. $115 shares (with a promise of up to 200-400% more hashrate). ============================================================================================= Round 3, Breakdown with MPP, $115 shares: $10,800 for HashFast Sierra with MPP (1.2TH/s up to 4.8TH/s) ~$200 Next Day Early AM Shipping to Miner Host Facility (open to R3 vote) ~$300 for UPS/Battery Backup so the BTC keeps flowing during outages of about 20-30 min. (est.), power sags, and power spikes. ** We will vote on final share price for those that think 20-30 min. local battery backup is not enough ** Round 4, Breakdown without MPP, $69 shares: $6000 HashFast 1.2TH/s ~$200 Next Day Early AM shipping ~$300 for UPS/Battery Backup so the BTC keeps flowing during outages of about 20-30 min. (est.), power sags, and power spikes. ============================================================================================= If you want to take advantage of this HashFast Flash Sale at the best BTC per GH/s rate, this at-cost GB is THE ONE, and already has quite a bit of momentum in just a few hours. Code: Round 3: HashFast Sierra Flash Sale. We need to reach 75 Soft Reservations - no BTC or cash paid - before sales begin. ** By agreeing to participate in this Group Buy, you agree to NOT use your money that was primarily meant for: food, clothing, rent/mortgage, short term emergency funds, car payments, insurance, 401(k), IRAs, or children's college funds. These are considered HIGH RISK purchases of hardware, with funds tied up for weeks, and are NOT meant for those trying to "get rich quick." ** We are also not your financial adviser or attorney so use your own careful judgments in all BTC transactions. ** Title: Payment Details Post by: DyslexicZombei on September 22, 2013, 01:21:34 AM Payments will be sent to the following address:
1C5R7t1XdVPxUBFUnBWJnRPx7ZMZBgnv7L For the duration of the fundraising for this R3 GB for a third HashFast miner, this time at a 22.9% discount! Refunds available up until shipment date at a 1.5% restock fee. Please PM me or the new co-GBC when he shows up, for questions. Round 3: Round 4: Payments begin at 25 reservations left (75% filled soft reservations). ==== ============================================================================================= Payment Details There's two payment options for both R3 and R4: Non-Escrowed: direct payment to my wallet address: 1C5R7t1XdVPxUBFUnBWJnRPx7ZMZBgnv7L Escrowed: 1.5% additional fee. BTC held by BTCrow until manual release by buyer via refund or to finish a completed pre-arranged pre-order. As usual, refunds are available up until unit ships at a 1.5% restock fee. Refunds are understandable in emergencies but are discouraged because of the chaos caused within a GB (the GBC has to float your shares and either keep the shares or try to find a new buyer). Update: If the Entire Group refunds because HashFast fails to deliver 100% of your BTC paid will be refunded (except for escrow fees at BTCrow, if utilized). ** Please contact user metal_jacke1 if you're interested in PayPal payments for your shares if you're pressed for time & you need PP4BTC GB shares via his pro services, at a fee for this convenience. == After payment, follow up with a PM sent to me with the following details: Subject: DZ HF R3 GB, X shares, Y BTC, your username Details: Transmission ID on Blockchain, preferred wallet address for miner payouts OR Subject: DZ HF R4 GB, X shares, Y BTC, your username Details: Transmission ID on Blockchain, preferred wallet address for miner payouts === Update, tip o' the hat to user Molex1701: If you're unfamiliar with GBs, in general: you get 1/100th of whatever hashrate we end up with. TL;DR: Your 1 share of approximately $115 would be worth 12GH/s est. to be delivered on Dec. 1. Your est. HashRate per share will likely be 15GH/s after overclocking, thanks to heavy duty A/C capacity at bobsag3;s place in Missouri. I can't guarantee 15GH/s but that's the incremental goal. Your 1 share could be worth up to 48GH/s depending on which level of HF's MPP is triggered. We are *NOT* responsible for paying for a 2nd rig out of the co-GBCs pockets. We're also not responsible for late delivery but will seek a total refund if the group votes for this. ** If we need to buy a 2nd rig to get to 3.6TH/s or 4.8TH/s: we ALL pay extra for extra hardware according to our share of the miner *if* it's voted that we assemble the miner somewhere instead of selling the extra 3rdX or 4thX chips (assuming we can mount 2X chips in a Sierra). ** Title: Re: [OPEN, 47/100 shares avail.]R3: HashFast Flash Sale 72 Hours only, At-Cost +Host Post by: bobsag3 on September 22, 2013, 01:23:24 AM Dibs on host, + 1 share.

I humbly thank you for your statements of support. ...And welcome to your co-Group Buy thomas_s. for a discounted MPP HashFast Sierra! thomas_s. can tell you that we might've been the straw that broke the camel's back as far as this price break out of the blue (+ VMC Board difficulties) & rising net. difficulty. I was pleading my case with John S. at HF that this co-op deserved Institutional Discounts for our 3rd at-cost HashFast Group Buy. I wish you all the best & you know that I'm here to help. Please feel free to take the lead on this R3 thread with my support as co-GBC and for any dispute resolution. Taking a break but I'll BBL. Cheers! Please keep those reservations coming! We only have 3 days to take advantage of this flash sale.

Ill pay thru metal when he gets on and have him let you know. Also might want to put the $/hash You're the primary host site for the host site at the moment...but this is a representative democracy and if the co-op votes for someone else, say firsttimeuser who does have 24/7 A/C, Security, and recording in addition to $20/month all inclusive electricity, lives a block or two away, can leave anytime, and is home most of the time, then I would have to cede to the will of the majority in this co-operative since we're a representative democracy (except one that actually gets things done). I was trying to help him get a refund or sell one or more of his BFL pre-orders so he may have space for one or more rigs now. However, since you're set up as a business entity, my vote goes to you, what little they may be, and only available at the end of voting decisions: for bobsag3 as the primary site for hosting and as someone who's business insured and AFAIK is the only person on the forum that has been double vetted. Others can come forward to offer a secondary host site in case of emergencies but I already have a backup host site in mind I will contact if there's more reservations that come forward. You'll have to be vetted by me to serve as a host or backup host for any miner that's purchased by our miner's co-operative or for any clients that come forward for potential hosting with vetted miner hosts in my small but growing index of miner hosts.

thomas_s. can chime in & add or correct things as needed but as the IT Technical Lead on R3: 1. 2. Absolutely NO extra cost of supporting hardware is included in this share price. It's possible there's upgradeability built into the Stock Sierra (Baby Jets are supposed to be able to take a 2nd chip on the mobo). There may be an extra cost associated with having to buy a 2nd rig for 3 or 4 chips. We'll have to share the pain of this extra costs if we want the doubled or quadrupled hashrate. It is, what it is as far as breakdown of share price. 3. Nope. I/we are already intending to pay extra UPS/Battery backup costs over and above this ultra barebones share price offer, that is at cost, if we underestimate UPS/Battery Backup costs WRT share price. We share the benefits. We also share the pain of additional new hardware for new rigs in this co-operative. We'll be insured for delivery, during operations, and during outbound shipments FWIW. Cheers! EDIT: Thank you to user dropt who pointed out the requirement for the 1U unit! Share prices *will* be adjusted accordingly, slightly. Thanks dropt!

Anyone know this cost? This share price will adjust accordingly based on the cost of the 1U Control Unit and if we go for a beefier UPS/Battery Backup solution (by majority vote). BBL, taking a break. Please be patient. I'll get to PMs in a bit & have a few waiting. I want to address each PM w/ the time and attn. that they deserve. Please feel free to PM thomas_s. as well. We are co-GBCs on this R3 GB with me covering the PM shift for the US while based in Hawaii, and Thomas covering the AM shift from the East Coast. Thanks!

I would want how much, for how much g/hash and when it mines. Thanks Well, I'm sorry if I made assumptions to anyone new to my co-op or my services. If you're unfamiliar with GBs, in general: you get 1/100th of whatever hashrate we end up with. TL;DR: Your 1 share of approximately $115 would be worth 12-15GH/s est. to be delivered on Dec. 1. Your est. HashRate per share will likely be 15GH/s after overclocking, thanks to heavy duty A/C capacity at bobsag3's place in Missouri. I can't guarantee 15GH/s but that's the incremental goal without risking destroying our rig as we monitor temps and fan speeds closely for Overclocking. Fortunately, HashFasts are *supposed* to be very good at Overclocking w/ excellent cooling; the cooler, the better. Your 1 share could be worth up to 48GH/s (prior to Overclocking) depending on which level of HF's MPP is triggered. We are *NOT* responsible for paying for a 2nd rig out of the co-GBCs pockets. ** If we need to buy a 2nd rig to get to 3.6TH/s or 4.8TH/s: we ALL pay extra for extra hardware according to our share of the miner *if* it's voted that we assemble the miner somewhere instead of selling the extra 3X or 4X chips (assuming we can mount 2X chips in a Sierra). ** === Look: this shit's complicated sometimes. I tried to simplify it as much as possible while being a speedy m'fer for y'all (pardon my French). Thanks for pointing out where it gets too complicated. Forest, trees, & all that. Just know you ain't getting ripped off with your at-cost shares & I'm giving you access to the same type of pricing and values that guys that have tens of thousands of dollars get. These things aren't easy for anyone to organize at short notice so please be my guest if you think you can do a better job to try to organize co-fundraising $12K in less than 3 days, at a lower cost then what I offer in this thread with my co-GBC. I know I don't have cash/BTC on-hand to buy a $10K miner just for fun when I'm already invested in 5 diff. ASIC miner pre-orders, including this one, 401(k)s, college educations for groms, etc., etc.. **Price breakdown update: Est. $200 for a 1U Control Unit 20-30min.

http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/7264304c8e I would want to sell it at the 5-6 month mark, with these projections, then split the resale proceeds among the co-op based on everyone's proportional share. Hey, check it out. Blue ROI! Sweet, sweet light blue ROI projections. [Legal blather: I'm not your lawyer or financial adviser] It's modest but to even see such a thing is a rare sight on TGB nowadays.

A major promotion...on a weekend (note, times are all wacky, I sent the orig. PM Saturday, in the late morning Hawaii time sometime). ??? ==== Re: Institutional Discount for Third HashFast Miner? « Sent to: HashFast on: September 21, 2013, 07:25:58 PM » Reply with quoteQuote ReplyReply Remove this messageDelete Quote from: HashFast on September 21, 2013, 05:51:43 PM I need you to buy new machines - buying machines from existing customers doesn't really help me... What pricing are you looking for? John My response: Hi John, Well, we were looking for an Institutional discount on the MPP Sierra. Anyone running numbers at TGB - which has quickly become the standard mining calculator - can easily see that every mfg. option looks like a negative ROI at this point. Although I didn't buy Order 616, I've raised over $12K in the last month for 2 HashFast units, and have buyers on hand for about 50-66% of a Sierra if you can work with us. I think I was patient with working with you guys & did not disparage the 3 week resolution to our Customer Service issues or "buyer purgatory" of not knowing if our place in the Q was secure, knowing that you guys were having normal start up issues getting off the ground. (To her credit: Cara did not make any excuses during her phone call apology for this slow resolution) Our previous order was 991 FWIW. If you can guarantee me some Institutional Discount for HashFast miners, in general, to our small co-op of 24 members so far, I can continue to guarantee HashFast at-cost (with min. UPS/Battery backup built into price; we'll have co-op members vote on how much to add to share price for power filtering/voltage regulation/battery backup) on the Group Buys forum that will continue to serve as a ready outlet for smaller miners such as myself who can't afford the newer, industrial class miners that are quickly coming to dominate the industry. I don't believe that this GB sales outlet will have an effect on your larger industrial miner sales, it will continue to serve as a means for HashFast to reach the smaller miners at much, much lower price points and at fractional risk. Every single person that contacts me to join my at-cost co-operative is joining because they don't want to buy on their own or simply can't afford these new high end miners. The only way smaller miners will join a Group Buy at all is if it's run by someone reputable and vetted by a forum vetting agency *and* if they get a great price. I also help serve as a market source for manufacturers looking for hard data about core buyers and investors as well as buyers curious as to what their peers are up to: Aug. ASIC Miners Poll: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=272565.0 Sept. ASIC Miners Poll: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291775.0 It's interesting to note that only 4 people voted for HashFast so far in this Sept. vote but I still sold a miner because it was an at-cost previously ordered miner. It's likely that I'll sell this 3rd HashFast (2nd directly purchased) before the month is out as well if you can give us a price break. I intend to keep up this monthly miner's poll on the Custom Hardware forum near the start of each month as a type of a timely industry thermometer for those willing to participate in the poll or just follow along. Thanks for your time and for the consideration of a discount. Regards, DZ === I didn't get a response back. This may have been his public response back for all I know because I, a registered newsletter recipient who has an email on record from my R1 GB, didn't seem to get this email blast listed in the 1st post, for some reason. I'm only posting this because he never got back to me. Again. Of course, I may have hurt his feelings about the 4 HF votes in the poll. He's only human. But then again, it's not my job to not hurt his feelings. My job to get you the very best GB share prices on the best available GB forum deals, with the least amount of fuss.

If you PM me for shares & there's any confusion, the two of us will compare notes to see who reserved first.

That could a constraint we all have to deal with. One option if we're short funds at the end: we buy the $6K miner & contact them later to ask to upgrade to the $10.8K MPP miner. Ta-da!

My understanding from talking w/ Bob is that it's meant for longer outages, hence the need for our own local battery backup & voltage regulation. That's why there's a minimal price built into the share price for Battery/Backup performance. From the homework I asked Thomas to do, it came out to about $1K+ for us to have 1 to 1.5 hours of backup power which would've added almost 10% to the share price for a $11K GB. I already knew that but I wanted him to learn on his own. ;) That's partly why he can offer true professional colocation services at the world's lowest costs. If you were running an industrial rig by yourself, do you only want 2-4 min. backup from a $100-150 UPS? By all of us ganging together for UPS/Battery costs, we all get much better value by getting more battery power per dollar spent, thanks to our greater purchasing power & access to better equipment/values. == Back from the beach. Dinner w/ the fam in a bit & then I'll be working thru PMs in a bit. Please be patient w/ me & Thomas. I heard back from John S.; he says he's *not* easy to piss off and wasn't sure what I was talking about. Nice to hear that at least one of the heads of marketing of these new mfgs. has thicker skin then what we've seen so far w/ unnamed Gen1 ASIC mfgs. I was thinking that w/ such short notice for payment on this flash sale, if necessary, we'll try to secure 2 purchases but at the very least we'll secure 1 $6K Sierra (depending on what funds we have avail. by 9PM HST Monday night). If R4 stalls, we'll put everything we have into getting R3's Sierra secured at $6K but pref. at $10K. My understanding from PMs I've received from those that soft reserved shares is that they want to take advantage of the Flash Sale but can't pay until Tues/Wed. Some buyers may not be able to get payments in by Monday night. I'll talk to John S. on our behalf & see what I can work out as far as slightly late payments for secured pre-orders. Looks like we have more reservations when I update numbers. Be back in a little bit. Title: Re: [OPEN, 94/100 shares avail.]R4: HashFast Flash Sale 48 Hours only, At-Cost +Host Post by: amer on September 23, 2013, 04:50:55 AM Hi,
I'm considering purchasing some shares in the GB - I see that the price is $69/share, but I have a few questions: * the payment address is a BTC address. I'm trying to calculate out the total pricing, but it would help to know how many BTC you consider $69 to be? Or do you accept USD as a payment method? * If HashFast is unable to deliver at all, does the 1.5% restocking fee for refunds apply? * I see that there are 26 people involved in the management of this - is this a formal company with another purpose as well? This question is really more geared towards what is the exposure if a few people decide they want to retire from this - who's left? * Can we visit the equipment if we're in the area? * What happens if the machine is damaged and considered outside warranty? * I see the projection is resale in 7 months. If BTC/USD exchange rates increase so that it is still profitable to hang onto the equipment, is the existing hosting arrangement prepared for a "long haul"? * Will there be any written agreement documenting the co-op? Thanks for answering my questions - just trying to accept any risk here! Sorry in advance if any are dumb questions.

Sorry in advance if any are dumb questions. 2) we believe hashfast will be able to deliver however this question would need to be answered by DZ as he is dealing with the monetary side, (I thought he posted it tho) 3) Each GB that is run here by DZ is like a democracy, everything is voted on and the decision is made based on majority ruling. 4) This would be a question for the host (right now I think the only person that has requested the hosting / received any votes is bobsag3) 5) From what I've read the warranty is 10 days from defects, if it can be fixed (we would have to vote on weather fixing it would be more cost effective, we would be able to sell it to someone who'd want to fix it most likely) 6) See #3. 7) Everything documenting this GB is in this topic, I'm sure if there is a request we can make all the information into a pdf.

Regarding the battery backup, it doesn't seem worth it to me to get 1.5 +/- hrs for 1k at all. I don't know how ofter then power goes out where Bobs location is but I would say I have a power outage once every 2 years or so. So here's the logic I'm using. Lets say the power goes out 3 times for 1.5 hrs or more during the life of this rig. That's 4.5 hrs of hashing for 1k so unless btc prices go crazy and the network slows down considerably it's not worth it. I say get the one that will keep it up for 20-30 mins to cover quick outages and brown outs. If the power goes out longer then that we take a hit. Seems like a waist to throw a grand at a backup that's only going to keep it going for an extra hour. Of course I don't know how reliable your power grid is there. If we can expect that it will go out many many times then hell ya it's worth it. Thoughts?

He bought you a R3 share worth $115 (12-15GH/s up to 48-60GH/s if 4x MPP kicks in) for you being so nice & did the same for the R1 gent I sent your donation to. He also said he's never seen such behavior in a GB before, so: thank you! :) Take care! DZ Wow! please say thank you very much to thomas_s, am very honored and humbled by his actions. In return, I will donate the 50% hashrate to Mr. DZ's chosen charity, while keeping the other 50%. The other 50% will be donated to my chosen XXXXX charity (Tzu Chi and White Cross). I always keep this quote in my life by E. Burke: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." I know I cant change the world. But at least if my time is up, I did something right. :) Thank you again too Mr. DZ, you opened the goodness in this bitcoin community. Regards, XXXXXXX === I just stopped by to say I was back on the case but someone keeps cutting onions next to me. :'( The exchange above was prompted by actions taken in R2, and R3 & R4 of this co-operative's community fundraising. For those that don't have the background info for what XXXXXX was talking about: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=274055.msg3206423#msg3206423 Thank you gentlemen. I'm donating half a share of R1 GB to this same person you already donated to. Since our anon. hero passed on half of *his* donation that's essentially a full share spread in 2 HF GBs, one a Baby Jet, the other a Sierra. It looks like about $ Amazing! I'm thankful and happy to be a conduit for this goodwill. This is *not* a solicitation. Please don't PM us for donations. It was simply 4 acts of random kindness. Not to toot our horn: This is over and above what any other co-operative has done on these forums for complete strangers, as best as I can tell. BTW, for those wondering how the heck this co-operative works out: yes, we vote on *all* major decisions. I've set up a separate thread just for the R1 gents so that I make sure their needs aren't being overlooked (our 3rd R1 vote: To Overclock or not Overclock our Baby Jet hosted in NY? If so, how much should we overclock?). ======== I'm an amateur historian fascinated by the changes going on around us and happy to actually participate at what history will still likely see as the groundfloor of Cryptocurrency's eventual integration and takeover of many aspects of our society and economy. I'm also a humanist in every sense of the word feeling a sense of kinship with, oh just about 99%+ of humanity. I try to run my co-operative in the same fashion, trying to include everyone and value their unique opinions, insights, and strengths. I listed all those occupations above not to show who's running the co-op- Answer: as admins: me and jungle_dave, as a co-op: ALL of us. This shows the diversity of opinion and thought in this co-op, and our strengths as a group. BTW for those w/ an IT background: feel free to volunteer for a 3rd co-admin for anyone w/ a share in a miner; we're a mesh network, the more redundancy, the better IMO === OK, I'm going back to the IT caves doing GB work behind the scenes that helps to keep ownership of shares/accounting/wallets for payouts/payment confirmations are 100% correct. [UPDATE: I'm CC'ing thomas_s so that both of our records are correct about anon. shares and wallet addresses for R3/R4.] It takes time to make sure we're absolutely correct about the GB ownership and payments/payouts. If you PMed me, I'll update the PMed reservations sent to me shortly. I'm still catching up on PMs so I should be contacting you shortly if you messaged me. Again: please, *no* donations are being solicited *or* expected. Thank you. It's an honor to serve you all and to be a service to you all.

The seller expects to be compensated for all the behind the work scenes even if the darn thing failed 5 months later. It's tons of work behind the scenes to keep these things humming and to even succeed in a single GB on this forum in the first place. If it was easy, we'd have many more members trying to launch GBs. With that in mind, one of the services I offer is coaching & mentoring to new GBCs like thomas_s I've waived my usual 0.1% Pre-paid Pre-Planning fee for in-depth planning for those ambitious enough to attempt their first GB here to get R3/R4 off the ground & to help out thomas_s Back to refunds: Mass Refunds are usually handled on a case by case basis WRT to the GB, from I've noticed. Since I'm an advocate for both Buyers *and* Sellers, and since I believe in karma, so rest assured: In this at-cost co-operative, there's no 1.5% restock fee if the majority of the group (in each respective Round) vote for a mfg. refund.

"HI John, I was hoping to call you tomorrow morning about 7:15AM HST. I think that's about 10:15AM PST. I def. have 1 Sierra sold - we pre-sold 100 shares for the MPP Sierra in less than 12 hours. I have part of a Round 4 HashFast non-MPP Sierra GB reserved as well, so we'll see how that goes and we hope to buy a 2nd one before the deadline. The reason I want to call is that: even though the sale ends tmrw night at midnight, about a quarter to a third of the funds are in transit via Coinbase for a major shareowner in Round 3. Tomorrow night before your deadline: I was hoping that our at-cost co-operative could pay 50% of the MPP Sierra, and 50% of a non-MPP Sierra to secure availability for both of them to the GB forum. I'm about 100% positive we can pay the balance for both of them by the end of the business week as I already have over 10% interest for a non-MPP Sierra even after that 12 hour sellout of the Sierra yesterday (which is really fast for the GB forum).

However...big news! I just talked to John at HF. I've secured *TWO* Sierras at Flash Sale with payment due this Friday. We need to pay 50% (his exact words: "send whatever you have") for both units (1 MPP, 1 Non-MPP) with payment due at the end of the business week. Great news! Thx to your GBC's diligent efforts: We don't have as much pressure to reserve all 90 shares today for Sierra #2! == With that said, I'll hold -Redacted- to what he said about 10 shares to move things along. To compensate, buying won't open for R4 until we hit 85 shares reserved. BTW, R3's payments are still in movement from co-op members. R3 order's secure; we just don't have all the funds quite yet (but most of 'em). So: 78 shares available! And we have till Friday to pay for the balance of both R3 & R4! ==== All 4 spreadsheets for all 4 of my active GBs will be updated tonight. Also: tidbit you won't anywhere else - John S. needs to confirm w/ eng. team but even a Pi w/ enough powered USB ports should be enough to control a rack of Sierras. He's marketing; not 100% sure, but he says any cheap 1RU server (or even Pi) should be able run a rack of Sierras as long as one has enough USB ports with enough oomph (that's a technical term).

Hey, at least I moved it up to 85 shares reserved before sales start. ;) ;D If we get to 85 shares, I'm guessing the last 15 will vanish soon after, the way these things go. ...And since I took the extra step of calling John this Monday Morning to stall on full payments for 2 Sierras, this appears to be the only place *anywhere* you can lock in Flash Sale pricing that ends tonight, all the way through this Friday. ...still digging ditches and carrying water, for y'all. I'll add more details of my 12.5 minute call with the head of HashFast marketing this morning, including stuff that's not available in any other thread or news site.

Target: 50% down payments on Round 3 and Round 4 Sierras
$5400 for Sierra w/ MPP $3000 for Sierra, naked as the day it's gonna be born In less than 4 hours I'll be sending the biggest possible down payments I can to secure both Sierras. I promised John we'd have the rest by Friday. Right gents & ladies? John's exact words were "send what you can", so I'll take him at his word. ;D Looks like there's share movement. Amazing thing about having 3 GBs that show up as light blue on TGB is that I can offer people that come to me different at-cost pricing options and delivery times that fit what they're trying to do. == Alright, I'll be back to update numbers. Lots of pressure taken off that we don't have to have 100% payment on both. But try to get whatever you can in before 8:30PM HST (approx. 2 Hrs, 20 minutes from now). Please label your payment & associated PM with the Round number you're paying for to keep the record straight for both of us. Getting to PMs in a second. Please be patient w/ me. You can also send you share reservations & payment details to thomas_s so we can both bear the load since we're co-GBCs. Please don't worry about your share ownership or payment confirmations as long as you PMed me and/or thomas_s. Just a wee bit busy at the moment, for a couple of GBCs during a flash sale while also having a family (at least for me) & a wife that gets pissed if I spend too much time here w/ y'all. :D "A little more redundancy doesn't hurt" is a motto every server monkey like myself goes by. I will say that we have a lady (I believe) joining us thanks to our ebay listing! So the credit for that goes to kolohe bobsag3 & he of the: "hey, let's do a 2nd Sierra during the 3 day sale on a Sunday" since he just had to suggest it, sit back, & watch the fireworks. Had me scrambling to call HF this morning & everything eheh.

100% more hashrate at only 25% more cost? For a 40 share miner, it comes out to about $38-40 a share after shipping. Update: Sorry, the $1K is meant for the R2 buyout when I doublechecked records. I'm only buying 1 PP share by BTC this evening for an anon. co-op member (unless they want to claim it publicly ;) ). I expect to buy 2 more PP shares tomorrow. BTW, 1 share of thomas_s R3 shares sold to our new member from ebay! I'm sorry to call attention to you, but I believe that you're our first woman co-op member (unless someone else wants to please prove me wrong). If true: Awesome! Mahalo and welcome aboard! This member is buying 2 shares: 1 in R3, 1 in R4. Please feel to state your opinions freely in this co-op. Even those with only 1 share (heck even no shares) deserve to have their opinion or insight heard. 1 share (from thomas s) reserved from R3 (some of our many backup shares: we have shares avail. in R2-4 still; please read appropriate thread for details. For R2 please contact me directly, those are the ones with the least free shares I believe) 1 share reserved for R4 the anon. new co-op member that's correctly in newbie jail we all have to go thru. ;D 73 shares available.

Please follow up with thomas s in a few hours if you have pressing questions. I'll be checking msgs. thru the day but it would probably be best to go through thomas first. I need to reconfirm share ownerships but the main thing is having either: A) a PM to thomas or I or B) a public declaration of your ownership, Tx ID, etc.. A is preferable but B works too. I'll count myself down for another share so we can keep things moving. My count goes up to 3 shares for R4. == 73 shares available at Flash Sale Pricing!

44 shares available! Getting to PMs in a bit. I do have to do honey do's too list just like all == Re: My phone call with John S. yesterday: I didn't get a chance to update although I wanted to. I'm not upgraded to not be able to sleep. Yet. I'll post about my phone conversation with him in a few minutes. Also, an anonymous largest shareholder in R2 had his PP gift payment cleared to my checking! That means I can go buy this person shares for 6.601 shares in R2 worth about $1K. So I'll take care of that soon. Title: [44 shares avail.]R4:HF FLASH SALE PRICING thru FRI! At-Cost+Host,NON-MPP $69 ea Post by: DyslexicZombei on September 25, 2013, 04:52:10 AM Let me preface this statement about Avalon & BFL for those that are new to the co-op, I'll help anyone that asks for my help or opinion on this forum. Doesn't matter if they're a competitor here or IRL. Not to toot my horn but I'm involved in 3 education based volunteer community projects in Kauai schools & my IT job is literally to keep modern Research Labs running (oh & go design some stuff when neat projects come up), so helping others comes naturally to me.
Based on the words *and* actions of the public faces of both companies I refuse to have anything to do with Avalon and BFL Group Buys. I find the words and actions of both Sr. company officers here and on BFL's forums to be completely amateurish for Customer Service in *any* industry, derogatory, insensitive, and just plain hurtful. I'll have nothing to do with either company as long as they're the public faces and primary actors for both companies. They may make fine products. They may make the best products in the near future. Still won't have anything to do w/ 2 companies that caused so much anguish and distress among their *already paid* customers. I'm an empath. Often, I literally *feel* the distress of others & have my whole life, as if it was my own. Yup, always been a softie but this softie has ridden 25' face waves as a teen, and still surfs, and skates (well more like bombs hills and mountains w/ a bunch of diff. land boards). BTW, we call that 25' wave: 10-12' Hawaiian (AKA as "the macho" scale) around here. == So back to my phone call to HashFast's VP Marketing & Sales, John S.: I called him because I was trying to secure a 2nd Sierra via 50%-ish deposits for 2 units, 1 w/ MPP (R3), and 1 without (R4) at Flash Sale pricing. Let's just say that it took a while to resolve our R1 order (they even overcharged me & kept it for almost 1.5-2 weeks) so I felt like they owed me. Plus, I can be slightly persuasive. :D First off, he said he wasn't pissed off at me at all. Previously, I had mentioned in a PM that HashFast only got 4 votes in the Sept. ASIC miners poll I host (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291775.0 Yup, I told him that) but I still sold a 2nd HashFast miner (well, I was approached w/ a buyout offer from an online friend here, but the result's the same). John said it really takes a lot to get him upset. He's been in marketing for a while, and he says this is the most welcoming market he's ever seen! It helps that they're launching on the heels of bad news from Avalon and BFL, with a huge market void in the price range/performance they had released at (as far as product availability). John said HF is *not* catering to the hobbyist with Sierras; that's what Baby Jets are for. He didn't know that he was talking to someone that gets to help design custom servers (even proprietary ones) and is a server monkey, so I already knew that what w/ that 2RU rackmount profile meant. He said that while they're a professional company, they're a small start-up that runs very lean. He mentioned that they released the lowest priced unit that they possibly could at the time with the Baby Jet. I said that their customers appreciate it and welcome their product launch and prices. I mentioned that GBCs such as myself appreciate the prices but that most people can't afford even the cheapest HF unit & that Coordinators such as myself help broaden HashFast's reach, appeal, and accessibility to the average miner, and that my co-op offers at-cost pricing to buyers & that we included UPS/Batt. requisitions into our share prices (to keep BTC flowing during 20-30 minute outages, sags, spikes); essentially, I was helping them out in market for free, at much, much lower price points - three, even two digits for this GB - then they can offer for the foreseeable future. So, that's how we ended up w/ a R4 miner with Flash Sale pricing through the end of the week. As a small company he said that the stringent CC regulations and the risk of too many chargebacks sinking their company dissuaded them from CC sales. John said that people could do pre-orders which would be used for work and hardware acquisitions, and they could refund them right before shipment (perhaps people selling pre-orders and bailing the orders?) which would sink them at this point if that were to happen. He also mentioned that they looked at BTC escrow but couldn't find anything that could help them that was insured to the levels they need. I asked him about the 1RU controller for the Sierra & mentioned there was no pricing or product specs for this. He said any cheap 1RU unit would work as long as there were lots of USB ports. He said a Pi (which ships w/ their Baby Jet) could even run a Sierra provided you had (Pi compatible) USB port expanders w/ their own power adapter since Pis don't put out enough oomph (that's a technical term in electronics and automobiles). I have 1 Pi ready to go I was going to ship to Bob before he gets the Sierra miners he's hosting for us. BTW, John's in *sales* so don't hold him to the Pi being able to control a Sierra as gospel. I also gave him my full name because he'll need it for the buyout we've scheduled for Order 616. I sent HF the links related to the R2 buyout; to "prime the pump." Then, I followed up with emails confirming the things we talked about. As for John S.: I found him to be engaging, level headed, & while I could tell he was busy I didn't feel rushed in covering questions I had related to various co-op GB Rounds. We laughed about how simple this is compared to our past experiences. I mentioned having to deal with panicking Project Managers in charge of billions of dollars of funding when I used to work at PMRF and he laughed about how friendly everyone was, and hasn't found his customers to be difficult to deal with at all.

So: TL;DR: Additional funds collected above 138BTC is going to at-cost UPS/Battery Backups for approximately 20-30 minutes of backup protection from short outages (blackouts), as well as voltage sag (brownouts), and voltage spike protection to protect circuitry. Also, -Redacted- has funds in the R4 wallet meant for 2 shares in R2 if wayward R2 gents don't pay their shares before 8PM HST tonight. Title: Re: [18 shares avail.]R4:HF FLASH SALE PRICING thru FRI!

We did it! We even paid on Wednesday instead of Friday, so we ended up ahead of schedule. I need to go thru spreadsheets, starting with R2 with just had recent movement. Sending it to Thomas tonight hopefully. Getting to work now, so I may not be able to get to PMs. Please PM Thomas for questions, concerns, he should be up in a few hours. Thanks!

Title: Re: [CLOSED, PM 4 Backup Shares]R4:HF FLASH SALE PRICING thru FRI! At-Cost+Host Post by: DyslexicZombei on September 26, 2013, 08:11:12 AM So..... r5? Ha! You just have all that capacity, you instigator. I need to take a little break. A bit GBed out at the moment trying to track 3 diff GBs with short deadlines. For those checking our R3/R4 wallet, someone or someones in R2/R3 sent payments to the wrong Round wallet which explained 1 wallet being too big and the other too small (by the strangely coincidental same amount. ;D ). I was confirming payments but didn't notice the wrong wallet addresses on a couple. I apologize for the confusion. However, we can afford a really nice UPS and Battery bank, gents! We're all paid up & our miner should be in the order Q when they get caught up. :) I'll post the invoice as soon as I get it, as usual. Cheers! P.S. R3/R4 spreadsheets coming tomorrow night. Sorry, a bit slammed with 3 GBs & gotta get to bed. === BTW, I floated this idea in the other thread but no reason I can't *host* R5 and take a true background role as a co-GBC for 1 or 2 other GBCs. I suppose you guys can use the same wallet & I can handle payments/shipping details if you guys want. Title: Re: [CLOSED, PM 4 Backup Shares]R4:HF FLASH SALE PRICING thru FRI!

I still need to reconfirm R3/R4 payment/ownership tonight in my R3/R4 spreadsheets I'm sending to Thomas tonight but as far as I'm concerned: everyone that reserved and sent a payment in is PAID and CONFIRMED. :) Was a bit surreal sending out about $24K worth of BTC last night on behalf of the co-op for 3 miners being sent to Missouri. We received "Costco" type pricing *and* Costco-type deals (R2 buyout, extended flash sale pricing), by all of us banding together, so pats on the back everyone! BTW, I didn't notice new member slayernine sneaking onto the thread. ;) I had gotten used to seeing him via PM I forgot that was his 1st intro to the co-op. Thank you and welcome aboard!

Sound fair? Thomas has gotten a close up look at how these Rig GBs run & I believe he's now ready to handle his own major Rig GB, having done 3 GBs under my tutelage (and prior GBs to that). He even has some ideas about hosting a site for the co-op that would have a chat room, if anyone would like to help him with this. I may run future GBs but I'm def. taking a break to sort spreadsheets out, catch up on things around the house, & unwind a bit.

I'll have to get to PMs later. Looks like we'll be able sell last 3 shares; still waiting to hear back from people that were first on Backup Share Q list. If I don't hear back by tonight, I'll contact the 4th and 5th person on the Q list who have contacted me via PM re: their interest in backup shares. Still need to refund Thomas 19 shares - 2 share upgrades for a R2 Baby Jet to go to 800-1000GH/s. He was going to be refunded for a 23 share overpayment but he bought 2 more R4 shares for himself, and floated 2 R4 shares for user & one of his previous customers: unknown.usr. Also, I have some wayward PP funds incoming to checking so I can buy at Coinbase (only uses bank accts but only 1% fee), so the wallet will be replenished slightly after Thomas's refund. We also have 3 more shares to sell as well as soon as we sort out the Backup share Q situation. Title: Re: [CLOSED, PM 4 Backup Shares]R4:HF FLASH SALE PRICING thru FRI!

For future GBs, in hindsight, because it's perfect 20/20 vision, perhaps just one person should be sent reservations even if 2 GBCs or more are involved.
I'm reducing my share to 0 shares for R4, and 5 shares for Thomas. So: we still have 2 R3 shares available I'm waiting to hear back from members on the Backup share Q list. Update: Thomas to be refunded 20 share overpayment - 2 share R2 upgrades to double hashrate. Also, adding some funds via PP, etc.. from wayward PP payments.

Talked to Cara at HF a little while ago: - Great news! They're still on track for that Oct. 23-30 shipping window. That may be the very latest HF news on the forums ATM. - Cara says she "hearts" us! I was giving her my elevator pitch about providing access to double and triple digit pricepoints HF can't hit yet and she said she "gets it" and that she hearts us. So there. <3 :-* Also mentioned the co-op may be up to 45-50 members once we sort out numbers. - Touched base on R2 Order 616 buyout and she mentioned the R3/R4 order confirmation should be showing in about 2 days.

This was in response to a co-op members PM questions. If the PM info is applicable to the whole co-op involved w/ R3/R4 then I tend to copy/past relevant sections (while preserving anonymity) to the relevant Round thread(s).
== I talked to Cara at HF on the phone about 8 or 9 days ago. That was my 2nd call w/ her WRT co-op GB details. She said everything's on track. The fact that they made tapeout on schedule last month is a good sign. At least we know they seem to have gotten past the most critical part(s) of the chip fabrication process from what I've read between the lines. The fact that Cointerra hasn't said anything about tapeout yet 1 week past their deadline, is not a good sign IMO. If all goes well, we should be hashing in the first week of November. We paid a premium for the "insurance of the MPP" in R3, and it looks like this premium is on track to pay off with the difficulty rising so quickly. One good thing is that since we have *two* Sierras and since it looks likely that they'll have to ship chips (or chip modules) due to the MPP kicking in, we should be able to fit at least 2 more GN modules (1 in ea. chassis) to bump up our Sierras total nominal hashrate from 1.2TH/s to 2TH/s, without the need for additional hardware. If they ship more chips then 2 GN chips due to MPP kicking in, which is likely: we have to decide as a group whether to try to sell any extra chips or build/buy a rig that can be populated with GN modules. == For Batch 1, they're supposed to hand carry them on a flight for the fastest delivery and to not have to deal with customs issues. They're doing final fabrication in Canada for faster assembly.

- either selling excess chips/chip modules we can't use (due to MPP kicking in) OR - Buying/building bare rigs to house HashFast Golden Nonce modules Option 2 requires us to have to think ahead and secure hardware before MPP chips ship, and possibly have to do an at-cost R3B fundraising round to secure more hardware for more hashrate from our excess MPP chips/chip modules.

Noted as 1 vote for the upgrade... ...hmm, time to change the poll.

It's a bit of the ole: "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king" sort of deal. Nothing says people can't change their mind in the future either. After all, we're a direct representative democracy, not a dictatorship. ;)
We're human. We do change our minds about things given new or better information. Here's the very latest info from CH thread: "Hey Guys, We realized that a bit of confusion was raised yesterday in regard to the MPP. So this is the official post concerning the MPP: HashFast will be providing all MPP customers (Batches 1, 2, and 3) with additional ASICs in the form of complete mini-boards. Cheers, Team HashFast" Then cypherdoc followed up with: "so just to clarify everyone's strategy. if you bought a BJ, when the MPP hits, install 1 module into your current BJ. then simply buy OEM parts: a 2U or 4U rack along with PSU, cooler, fans and plunk in the other 3 modules. you'll need an old laptop, pc, or Raspi to install integrated HF driver/cgminer and you're ready to go. a cheap 5x power increase. extraordinary." https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270384.msg3333795#msg3333795 The news keeps sounding gooder and gooder! Ima gonna keep knocking on my forehead and hoping things proceed well with the 4 HashFast DZ MC orders already paid for (including 1 Baby Jet upgrade, with 1 more pending). Title: Re: [CLOSED]R3/R4: Extended HF FLASH SALE PRICING! 2 HF Sierras, At-Cost+Host, PAID Post by: Miramyn on October 14, 2013, 10:46:29 PM OK so parts listed arent that expensive at all.

The controller should be easy enough since Im sure most of us have old laptops or PCs that could do the job well enough.

This means that full modules will be made available to cover any MPP obligation to Batch 1 Baby Jet customers. At that time, Hashafast will make empty rigs available for sale at competitive prices. So when they put up one of those empty rigs we could always just pick one up if its cheap / quick.

If there is a refund, their ToS states that refunds will *not* be until after Dec. 31. The sentiment seems to be almost universal in R1-4 to seek a refund if it is available.

I don't know but it looks like this company really has their act together. The chips seem to perform very well without any hiccups, all of their work is well documented, their boards and design looks very professional. I honestly don't care if it takes them a little longer. They aren't going to pull a BFL though from what I can see. I am very optimistic from this point on, and I may even invest further in their technology.

Anyhow... Merry Christmas everyone! If you celebrate or don't celebrate this holiday, my toast of good cheers to you and yours is still the same. I'm thankful for our customers and I'm thankful for you co-op members that have helped make this co-op the success it is today by helping us improve things over time and helping one another out with knowledge. 5 months ago I had no idea I'd form the biggest public co-op in the world for BTC mining. It's an honor to be the founder and co-leader of a co-op full of so many like minded miners, and I'm both humbled by our success and very thankful to have met my co-leaders, which has resulted in round after round of world class values, and a crypto umbrella company founded upon the core of the DZ MC (with the co-op shielded as a sub-company).

It was a major PITA to get all the evidence in place, and in chronological order for our attorneys but HashFast heard from our attorneys yesterday and we have an official support ticket in the system, FWIW. It's also been a drain on the co-op's energy to have to fight this in the middle of the move/expansion. We're doing our best to get full BTC refunds for everyone that bought into R1-4 with Bitcoin (except for R2, which was orig. bought via Wire Transfer by someone else so it will be in USD; the upgrade R2B was paid in BTC). To fight to get this full BTC refunds for us and to make sure we were represented by a battle tested legal team, we plan on deducting the legal costs among the 4 rounds. We estimate this cost to be about $250-300 at this time (could go up if we go to arbitration). That would work out to about $2.50-$3 per R1-4 share (which includes upgrades for R1-2). The upside is: for those that bought GB shares with bitcoin, if we get our full BTC back from HashFast, even with this small deduction for legal expenses you'd be refunded 6-9x your USD value back from your original BTC purchase amount(s) depending on when you bought your GB shares. If you paid in USD, these refund terms and legal fees don't apply, and we will send back the original USD amount(s) sent when our full refund arrives.

- Zero updates to our "Customer Support Ticket" sent in early January demanding a full BTC and USD refund for R1-4 via a paralegal, where appropriate. - Litigation against HF was filed in Texas. - We're meeting w/ the attorneys to go over this litigation this week. - The January bill came in and it was ugly. - Claims of damages seem to make sense as we all have had lost opportunity costs due to their deceptive advertising and outright fraudulent behavior (FTC regs. state that if product is delayed you *must* give the customer the opportunity for a full refund.) No promises on this but I'm firm that if damages are awarded that all would share in this (minus atty. fees) based on their percentage of ownership of that round's miners. - Also, I can confirm that one of the D&L attorneys received an inquiry from a community rep re: legal precedents in cases like this. That's about it...oh and a passive aggressive email from HF a little while back finally confirming payment on one of the R1-2B upgrades paid months ago with a bolded msg. at the bottom saying something to the effect of: "ALL SALES FINALS. NO REFUNDS." I, for one, would've never gotten involved with HF GBs without the Full BTC refunds promised publicly by both Simon Barber and Cara, after supposedly checking with the bosses.

Haven't run off with the money (there still is no money or BTC from our HF refund). I'd never do that. Just super bummed from all the negativity, the trolling, the bickering, manufacturers failing us over and over, and me working 7 days a week for months doing this as a second job for peanuts (actually negative not-so peanuts). I just got so sick of it esp. since I was working for less than free and couldn't take it any more. This was an experiment in democracy in mining and trying to deal with the inevitable network difficulty rise but I/we've surrendered the pre-order GB market when we used to offer many of the best pre-order deals around because most of these manufacturers can't meet their deadlines. Others can deal with high risk pre-orders but I'm done with pre-orders from ASIC mfgs. I've been exploring other job options while trying to cram for a particular Microsoft cert for a job I'm trying to get. I've cut back my forum presence but I'm still looking at opportunities in the cryptoeconomy. WRT case news: these things take time but the Texas court granted a TRO against HF for about 218 BTC so regardless of how the case turns out they've been ordered to hold onto BTC of this amount till the end of the case. BTW, from the email leak thread going on over email: even people that have asked for USD refunds from HF have had to wait for over a month in some cases.

"Redacted" Title: Re: [CLOSED]R3/R4: Extended HF FLASH SALE PRICING! 2 HF Sierras, At-Cost+Host, PAID Post by: DyslexicZombei on April 01, 2014, 06:28:11 AM Basically: that was spin and mayhaps some desperation from HF to not have a precedent set. We are asking for damages as is normal in cases like this.
== Also: I want to publicly apologize for going MIA. I'm very sorry if you were caught in the crossfire. I owe you guys a longer explanation. What you guys may not have known is that one persistent stalker troll w/ a so-called "Hero" membership IIRC managed to drag *my kids* into our ongoing Internet argument in an argument spanning weeks and even multiple threads. My last communication to him was weeks ago after he crossed a line in a Scam Accusation thread. I'm not comfortable engaging in a community - where a stalker/troll (without proof, no less) can engage in behavior that would get you punched in the face IRL - and can get away with it behind the anonymity of the internet. I was disgusted by this behavior, that a veteran Bitcoin miner/investor would stoop to such levels in an attempt to attempt to besmirch my reputation and the co-op's integrity, while cowardly hiding behind his anonymity...while trying his very, very best to find out my real life name/ID. This, while showing no hesitation at trying to turn a harmless statement made about my daughter playing as a noob PC gamer as a 3 year old on Halo PC into something that somehow brought into question my long history of sales...yes, fucking Creepy Behavior with a capital C & B. This member has a record of digging deep to try to find dirt, oftentimes where there's no smoke, nor fire. Perhaps, if you're a father, you would understand my disgust and aversion with anything having to do with this place after that. I couldn't even *think* of logging in I was so disgusted and angry. I'm sorry, if your PM is in the big backlog that's in there. In the course of sales, I'm used to defending the co-op's integrity against all comers, but when this stalker/troll brought my kids into it, he crossed that line: this is something that as a Parent, awakens something Primal and angry within me. (FWIW: You must really, really suck at arguing if you have to bring a stranger's kid into your meaningless Internet argument) I would do anything for my kids, and like the average parent, sacrifice a lot for my kids. I recognize that most people are regular, nice people, but the forum doesn't have a method to really punish a stalker troll that would do something so execrable and I do acknowledge the fact that there are sociopaths and psychopaths that revel in destruction (and some of them may be stalker/trolls). This was the final straw for me. Why should I pay for abuse when I'm not a masochist? Why should I put my kids at risk if there's even a remote chance - if not this stalker/troll then another one, could find me and actually come to my house unannounced and possibly unhinged (even if they never even bought anything from me/us)? Our time here is limited. Be nice to one another. Be less quick to throw unfounded accusations. This is *still* the *only* mining co-op that has raised hundreds of dollars of funds on behalf of others, and I'm proud of how co-op members have been quick to help one another. So again: sorry, but please refer questions to Thomas for now. Perhaps one day I'll open up another GB here but I'm pretty much scarred and sickened by the whole matter, and a still a bit pissed off. Life is just way too short to have to engage in eternal Internet Flame Wars with the possibly unhinged on one side, and nearly every ASIC manufacturers on the other side, failing to meet yet another deadline. For now, at this point in time: I'm taking a long hiatus from future GBs but will be closing out these GBs along with Thomas, -Redacted-, and bobsag3. Perhaps, I'll return to sales or even escrow here one day, but for now, as a human, and a father, I'm still working through some things.
