Round 10 Payment Details (Similar to R7-R9, for the most part)

========================================================================

BTC Payments will be directed to thomas_s via our site for R10 but I will have co-admin to this wallet for auditing or for payments if we're in a rush. We've worked together on 8 different Group Buys with great success including 2 of the fastest GB sellouts in the forum's history for Industrial class Rigs.

http://www.dzminercoop.com/?product=r10-40-black-arrow-bullet-run-with-bitfury

For US Customers: for a 3%  fee for USD conversion to BTC, we recommend: www.cashintocoins.com a FinCen compliant USB who can get BTC sent to the wallet address you want in as little as 15 minutes to an hour.

For Intl. Customers: We are still exploring suggestions for inexpensive BTC conversion but I can recommend www.bitstamp.net at this time as that's the exchange rate used by our payment processor.

PayPal payments (UPDATE): If payment is being made by Paypal place an order on the site and place a note on the order when you place it saying you're paying by paypal...then give whoever you are buying BTC from the order # and the payment address. Please make sure to send it as a gift to "friends and family." This helps keep your share prices as low as possible (no PP fees) and well as protects us against illegal chargebacks after BTC deposits have already been paid out in November. Sorry, this is no longer available. This payment method is "sold out."

If there's any concerns about registering your payment, please follow up with a PM to Thomas or a support ticket. There's two methods to resolve this:

A. Send a support ticket on our website www.dzminercoop.com

OR

B: PM to thomas_s on this site

Subject: DZ HF GB R10, x shares, x BTC
Details: Please include Tx ID, your wallet address for payout, and any concerns you may have about your transaction(s)

==

thomas_s -  Primary GBC for Rounds 5-10. Co-GBC during R3-R7. R2 member. Send BTC payments and questions for R7 to thomas_s . Set up Online Auto Reservations for the co-op! Thank you! PM CC -Redacted- and thomas_s please.

DZ - Need escrowed Group Buy shares? For a 2% extra fee you get 3rd party fund holding, dispute resolution, and $500 insurance per transaction at BTCrow. [DISCLAIMER: I, DyslexicZombei, am an approved Escrow Affiliate at BTCrow.] Please PM Carbon Copy thomas_s please prior to escrow payment.

NEW! 10/18 UPDATE from Thomas:

"Bobsag3 will be accepting wire transfers (for 20+ shares) and chase quick pay (any quantity of shares). and credit cards by Square https://squareup.com/market/miner-hosting-llc/share-r-bitfury-gh-s-min-ups-backup

Thomas_s will be accepting TD bank and CitiBank (USA) checks (any quantity of shares). At this time no other banks checks are being accepted.

*These payment options are only available for Rounds that don't need BTC conversions. (At the moment the only open Round(s) is/are 10)

I've also located the reason for the zombie rounds...apparently there is a bug in the site where it reduces the stock when the order is placed and when it is paid.

The updates on the forum were going by what the site displayed which was effectively doubling what was actually sold so that's where those shares magically popped up from"

===

Thomas is handling questions and collecting payments for R10 via our site (unless you require Escrow, in which case you can PM me). He set up the automated reservation site and the GB with my input. Great work Thomas, and it's definitely an improvement over me trying to keep up w/ an avalanche of PMs and payments.  :P

I will still handle or assist in:

- Ordering
- Shipping details
- (Optional) Escrowed GB shares for those that insist on Escrow Protection from a 3rd party for: holding BTC funds, post-sales dispute resolution, $500 insurance per transaction at 2% extra cost to share price. Semi-automated Escrow is done thru BTCrow.
- Remote miner setup
- Remote troubleshooting/
- Incremental overclocking
- Payouts or assist in payouts
- Auditing hashrate vis-a-vis payouts
- Dispute resolution and arbitration, if necessary. [Should be rare as we're all adults that don't need to yell. :P]

Refunds: If we can't raise the funds to buy the full 800GH/s, we'll just order smaller modules with less hashrate. Refunds are discouraged because of the chaos caused in Group Buys, but if necessary, you will be refunded before the miner ships, at a 1.5% restock fee. After the miner ships, no refunds are available.

By sending payment, you agree to these Refund terms before purchase.

Given you've started so many buys and I don't have time to look through them all, I'm genuinely curious if any of the buys you've started currently have any hardware in possession and mining?

Hey lajz99, I'm a fan of your work in the BFL refund thread.

Curiously enough R5 and R6 have arrived first because -Redacted- gave us access to two Day 1 below cost Jupiters.

R5 is at the host site currently hashing away, and R6 is enroute. I believe -R- begins testing R6 tonight. The Bitcoin is being split on both machines: half goes to R5, half to R6. The first payment is tonight, if -R- is ready (which I believe he is, having confirmed everyone's wallet addresses since yesterday).

Here's the R5 KnC Jupiter which arrived in Missouri yesterday: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304377.msg3351151#msg3351151

We have 5 rigs due right around November 1: 1 in NY hosted by vetted miner host firsttimeuser, and 4 in Missouri with vetted miner host bobsag3. The Black Arrow rig(s) come with a money back guarantee if they're not shipping by November 1.

The only co-op rig that is scheduled for a December delivery, at the moment, is the combined Round 7 and 8 Bitmine Rig.

Cheers!

Wow, someone just reserved and/or paid for a big chunk of shares.

R10 is already down to 52 shares (unofficially).

Thanks! Welcome aboard (or welcome back if you're a returning co-op member)!

Awesome, thank you! (saved me some reading time)

I'm going to do a little research and you'll likely be hearing from me soon, looks very well organized.

Reserving 5 shares.

mrm0

Thank you!

It gets a bit hectic but I have to rightfully share the credit with thomas_s, -Redacted-, and bobsag3. I think we've created a strong core of co-op leaders that are focused on trying to find and share the best deals with our miner community.

There's no way it'd be this far along and this well organized if I was solo; there just isn't enough time in the day and I'm not a master in enough diverse disciplines.

Welcome back mrm0.

Cheers!

Wow. I just got your PM yesterday and I already missed the train. heheh.

Which train R10 is still rolling.

Im personally Betting on R11 :P

Well technically R9 is still open as some shares aren't paid, but yea R9 and R10 are the same so who wants to be in the R9 spreadsheet its an exclusive excel file.

Hey Dabs,

We've been a bit busy. Sorry to those whose PMs I may have missed.

I'm catching up on those tonight but please feel free to send me another PM if I missed something important; I'll feel awful if I did, so I don't mind.

BTW: I finally noticed someone gave me Reddit Gold anonymously! That was awesome. Thank you to whoever sent that to me. Hi Five across the interwebs.  :)

I had no idea what was going on for a few days as I had assumed Reddit did some site improvements.  :D

==

We're showing 48 shares available at our site: www.dzminercoop.com

Since I haven't looked at spreadsheets yet, I still have no idea at this point who bought 47 shares or so (may have been a few people), but that's a pretty powerful voting bloc.

BTW: Regarding PayPal payments for DZ MC Group Buy shares...this is likely the last GB we're hosting where we don't have any fees for these kinds of PP payments.

There may be a 3 to 3.5% official fee for this to receive this type of payment more formally. Please keep in mind, it costs about 15% extra to list these same shares at-cost on eBay. There's also BTCQuick at 7.5% extra or Coinbase at 1% extra if you're in the US if you need to acquire Bitcoins.

So this is one additional underappreciated co-op bonus that won't be available for much longer as it's been costing us money to float these shares (small amounts but they add up).

46 shares available.

Thanks!

==

Semi-OT: we bought the R1B HashFast Baby Jet upgrade tonight and doubled our hashrate at only 25% extra! We also added an additional 400-600GH/s to the co-op's total mining power in the process.

Shares in R10 ordered and paid.

If R9 has some free slots, i am OK with my shares be placed there if GB coordinators decide so.

Greetings

In b4 the picture porn.

You guys ready?

I just bought 2 shares and want to pay via paypal.  It is order #280.  What is my next step?

Nice! Thanks for the update! That is promising as I believe they have everything they need now for full assembly. ??

You know: you could have mentioned to them that this is from Black Arrow so that they don't have to worry about whether you're the guy trying do tiny solder points on hundreds of boards.  :D

==

18 shares available.*

* Actual quantity number may be higher, as double orders and unpaid reservations are resolved.

Hi yomamanodros,

Funny username. What's dros?   :D

This is our last Round with direct, informal PP payments. Please contact DZ MC leader and remote admin -Redacted- to see if he can fit in any more PayPal shares for this Round.

For our next round, since our co-op appears to be growing up, we're in discussions with a provider that's FinCen compliant, runs a MSB, and can directly convert USD to Bitcoin for only 3%.

==

Also: thank you to -R- for sending out the co-op's first miner deposits last night. Nice!

Thanks -R-! The 2nd Jupiter from R6 arrives in Missouri to our pro colo ASIC facility run by bobsag3 on Tuesday.

Holy bovine!

We're down to 10 shares now!

  I want 2.

Just talked to Thomas S., our spreadsheet master and the co-op's other leader handling the day to day operations of the DZ MC.

We're upping the stock for R10 by 40 shares due to a few big double orders and non-paid reservations.

50 shares available.

Nice! Welcome back philip! For those new to our co-op, Philip's an original R1 co-op member and our local backup miner host for R1, which will be hosted by vetted miner host firsttimeuser in New York.

Not sure if you noticed but the R1B HashFast Baby Jet upgrade was ordered last night and you're PAID and confirmed for 1 R1B share to match your R1 share.

I believe that I'm finished paying you for the $1100-ish UPS/Battery Bank heading to Missouri as additional UPS protection. I'm updating R1B share ownerships tonight but you're all set (along w/ most of R1) and the equipment's on order thanks to -R- jumping in for the last shares to up his R1B shares to 6.

  good news I just paid for 2 shares.  of this buy.

Thanks again and Welcome Aboard!

Excellent! Thanks again for your help getting that beefy UPS to our colo site Philip.

Looks like Thomas moved almost everyone in R10 to R9. Therefore: stock is being revised upwards again.


98 shares available.

They're multiplying like raving rabbids.

Latest update from bobsag3: Latest word is that the Black Arrow Bitfury boards should be done in the next 72 hours.  ;D

Happy to have you on board! lol I made a pun. And bought chips from punin. Hehe.

Hey dbasql,

Welcome back! Whenever I see your online name I think of "Doing Business As: 'Squirrel !!!'" (as said by the dog in the Pixar movie Up)  ;D

I've got a friend that's a SQL expert who runs his own DBA business in Hawaii. He's also one of my LinkedIn endorsements because we used to work at the same research lab. He was employee #6 or #7 at Oracle.

==

90 shares available.

So there was a bit of a mix up and the BTC from my Paypal order was sent to my personal BTC account instead of the payment address.  I can send it to the payment address but I want to make sure that my order wasn't canceled before I send.  The email receipt said the order would automatically cancel if it wasn't paid in 1 hour.

My order number was 280.

Please send it to that address and send me a PM when you do.

Sent for 2 shares, order number 280

Tr Id 455a9c5c7899a2747f55d63753bd0518f9ed7b7719e4e9574cf252ff26ccacd5

my BTC address is 1DAXoynA9hMQ1fY6nPeBCA2YnmLjptaaev

Fixed.

2 notes.
1) If your purchasing multiple rounds R8 and R9/10 ones that are priced differently please make 2 separate orders figuring out how much BTC goes to each one is a little time consuming

2) If you place an order don't wait days to complete the payment the site WILL reuse an unused address (this one happened in <24 hours)

Regarding #1: One thing lacking w/ this BTC e-commerce method is that we only receive a bulk Bitcoin amount for the whole order.

If you're ordering GB shares from multiple Rounds then the current method doesn't allow us to separate the Round payments unless the purchases were made separately.

==

Someone also mentioned to us via PM that my PP instructions were confusing. I'll attempt to address this.

One new co-op update that I can add: Thomas & I have agreed to officially work with a true FinCen registered MSB! That means that for US customers, for only 3% extra, you can convert cash into Bitcoin in 15 minutes to 1 hour!

http://cashintocoins.com/

You simply deposit your cash into a US Bank and soon after BTC will be sent to the address that you specified on your behalf! This is from their FAQ:



"Q. How quickly do I get my bitcoins?

A. Short anwer, as quickly as possible. Long answer, it depends on your payment method. Cash deposits to any bank will get you your coins within 1 hour, often less than 15 minutes."

The DZ MC is in the process of registering as an official reseller for Cash Into Coins, but for US customers: please feel free to immediately begin using their service if you'd like.

For Intl. customers: if anyone has inexpensive fiat into BTC options they can recommend, we're all ears.

I, personally, recommend Bitstamp for Intl. BTC purchases simply because that's the exchange rate we use and for the fact that they have low rates.

==

84 shares available.

73 shares available.

Thank you!

Okay, thanks to Bob I have just completed my purchase of 10 shares.

the transaction ID is : e5747761c210897c57833725567623375a988f7003db3412648e5e0c6da722bd

and my BTC address for payments is: 1MDAnBAVjgcYFHbvUkups9pvcFcZFCUPYU

Thanks! Nice to know who it was, even though I don't mind if people want to stay incognito.

We were just discussing this on Skype. We meet up quite a bit on side channels to improve coordination and communications.

==

BTW, we're no longer taking any more PP funds for Round 10 or Round 8.

Sorry, we've been getting swamped by those & we're all full up.

==

If you're in the US, we recommend Cash into coins for 3% or Coinbase.

http://cashintocoins.com/
http://coinbase.com/

For international customers, I recommend Bitstamp as that's the exchange rate we use, and they also have low fees.

Bobsag3 will be accepting wire transfers (for 20+ shares) and chase quick pay (any quantity of shares). and credit cards by Square https://squareup.com/market/miner-hosting-llc/share-r-bitfury-gh-s-min-ups-backup

Thomas_s will be accepting TD bank and CitiBank (USA) checks (any quantity of shares). At this time no other banks checks are being accepted.

*These payment options are only available for Rounds that don't need BTC conversions. (At the moment the only open Round(s) is/are 10)

I've also located the reason for the zombie rounds...apparently there is a bug in the site where it reduces the stock when the order is placed and when it is paid.

The updates on the forum were going by what the site displayed which was effectively doubling what was actually sold so that's where those shares magically popped up from

Thank you for the updates and clarification. Nice to stomp that bug out.

I'm adding this new payment info to our 2nd OP.

==

58 shares available.

Thomas to be clear is it 20+ shares for wire transfers, quick pay and the credit card link or only 20+ for wire transfer?

20+ shares just for wire transfers just in case there are any fees for bobsag3 The other things are any amount

I believe I can get free incoming wire transfers if so then I can offer them for under 20 only thing is international ones may take some time to be received.

Need at least  20+ for wire, QP and credit card for any amount.

Well I was wrong there my bad.

I'm still working out wire transfers for lower amounts. If you are interested contact me.

Who like more photo porn?

http://ecointalk.net/gallery/album/1-bitfury-mining-boards-samples/

Who doesn't like pictures of equipment that will help keep our BTC flowing no matter what?  ;D

That's an example of the buying power our co-op can assemble thanks to all of us teaming up. We have yet *more* equipment on the way, including a heavy duty UPS/Battery bank worth $1.1K originally shipping from philipma1957 in NY.

==

BTW, Thomas appears to have repaired an issue on our site where every order gave us a double order! This whole democratic mining experiment is most definitely still a work in progress, so expect a few eggs broken here and there as we attempt to make omelletes for everyone. We also moved additional R10 sales to unfilled R9 slots.

Therefore - please consider this number below an updated correct number:

73 shares available

Copied from R9, but relevant to this R10:

I hear that they're even working weekends in order to get these boards to us even faster.

If you guys haven't seen it, here's Black Arrow's acknowledgment that bobsag3 (AKA Miner Hosting LLC) is their official US Reseller: http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/usa-reseller.html

Sorry, I don't fully understand what we're buying. We get 1/100 ownership of a 1000gh/s machine or 10gh total. But then do we receive a piece of hardware or do we own 1/100th of the piece of hardware that we then have to pay hosting fees on?

You own 1/100th of the 1th/s or more if it can be overclocked. If a vote is placed to sell the hardware you will also gain 1/100th of the value its sold for.

The hosting fee is taken out of the earnings that the 1th/s gains so it would be split by 100.

This is what Round 5 is looking like appx hash rate is 500gh/s and can be seen at the bottom of the chart.

http://www.dzminercoop.com/?page_id=124

Please keep in mind that it's showing a current ROI at -76% for the simple fact that we've only been running for less than 2 weeks, and had 1 miner payout so far!  :D

The better way of looking at it: we've already made about a quarter of our BTC back, in only 2 weeks (less actually).

Thanks for saying that by the way. We try our best to get you all the very best deals that we can.

Cheers!

I see so there's not anything to actually physically hold in the purchase.

So... how can I get a few shares? I still have to do a bit more reading on the finer details.

Is there a place we can see the list of R9 and R10 shares? 

In all of our Rounds, I list payment details in the 2nd post, for the sake of consistency.

BTC is preferred but this co-op (and this particular round) is fortunate to be able to take certain additional payments like certain checks, wire transfers, CCs via Square, and even a partnership with cashintocoins.com for US customers to convert USD to BTC in about an hour.

We're "sold out" on PP payments at the moment, unfortunately.

==

Also, Thomas is tracking spreadsheets and should have an update on this later today.

This division of labor, our willingness to let the best person do the job without egos involved, the concentration of buying power, redundancy in vetted remote admins and vetted hosting sites with the lowest prices, and the friendship between the co-op's leaders all combine to help keep your GBCs from going completely insane, while producing better value and products for Group Buyers.

We're in constant communication with one another throughout the day in order to better serve you. We connect via multiple forms of communication including PMs sent here.

Copied from R9

Thanks Thomas.

With all the movement to R9, and phantom double orders here's the latest corrected/PAID numbers:

70 shares available.

That's enough for 6 more boards worth another 250-300GH/s of hashrate. Fortunately these boards are modular so we can buy 6, 10, 15 more, etc., etc..

Want to confirm That I just recived payment for 50 shares via Square Via User Ridicuss.

Thanks!

  nice buy bro.  I just grabbed 2 shares of this buy myself.

my tx id for 2 shares of buy 10

https://blockchain.info/tx/2fb779533092ebb1508918232a37ed862915747100bd5910e02e6ca16c490f51


my payout address:

1Fo2K52Rz7LZw9fcF5BDdDBjfNaViQ8J3x

 I now have :

 1   share  in   r1
10  shares in   r5 --------------
 9 shares   in   r6---------------  these two were the best of all groups buys  I am hashin over 100gh between the 2 of them.
 6 shares   in   r9
 2 shares   in   r10

So that should put us at 70-2-50=18/100 shares left! Time to starting ramping up R11 I guess.

What's the expected ROI at this point? I hesitate to buy into any more mining until everything stabilizes.

Also, when will Paypal be back up as an option. I'm not planning on spending any more BTC.

Unless someone would like to start collecting funds with paypal it will most likely not come back, (paypal isn't the most fun to deal with while selling BTC related items)

We are accepting wire transfer, credit card via square and certain types of bank checks (citibank (US) and TD Bank).

I will personally  never be able to offer paypal, again. They locked my account, limited my funds and are still holding 12k of my funds "just in case".

That is very unfortunate, it isn't that hard to get BTC so I'm not sure why people insist on Paypal.

    PAYPAL suffered large losses from our favorite ASIC dealer BFL   so when ever they see BTC they are very cautious.  I am a 10 year customer/seller on ebay. More then 200k in sales and 100k in purchases with paypal. I sold about 500 AM usb sticks from July to OCT this year they held up a few orders.  My buying selling record is spotless.  Or to quote paypal/ebay reps "remarkable"
 Yet they held funds on 2 or 3 orders until they were delivered.  These were in hand orders shipped the same day and the money was frozen for 2 or 3 days.


To slayermine :
Also many slick buyers attempt to return goods after 30-40 days of mining  so paypal sales are tough . I purchased DZ's ebay/paypal sale on miner 6 to prevent some a hole from hurting the coop or his wifes account.

Thanks Philip. And that was much appreciated.

Thanks for buying half of R10, Ridicuss. Welcome aboard!

Since we're a democratic cooperative, we vote on when to sell our miner in this co-op to maximize our returns. Essentially: your vote +1 vote decides when we'll sell this R10 "Rig" of 20 boards.

This GB is still rolling. Looks like we're down to the last 20%.

18 shares available.

If you haven't gotten an email your shares aren't accounted for on the spreadsheet. You'd get 1 of two emails.

1) Your order is complete.

2) Missing a payout address please reply to this email with one.

The first means you are either on the spreadsheet as Green / Yellow

The second means your on the spreadsheet as Red

If you have got no email I have no record of payment / the site is past your order. If this is the case you must contact me to manually review the order.

May opt for credit card then. Not a fan of paypal either.

You may want to update the site, it says R10 is sold out, but the title and posts here say 18 shares left.

The sites waiting for some shares to be paid its sort of sold out but there may be a few openings in the next day or so.

Just stopping by before I dive into a PC rebuild.

Sounds like we need another Black Arrow GB.

I'm sure bobsag3 won't mind.  :D :D

==

Thank you everyone for making R10 a success!

ZERO shares available. Round 10 is CLOSED*

*Pending all payments for reservations

==

Round 11 will be starting shortly.

Good ole copy/pasta thanks to bobsag3 securing more Black Arrow Bullet Run boards for the DZ MC. Thanks Bob!

credit card purchases please! :)

Also, when will there be some 28nm asic group buys? I hesitate to buy the bitfury 55nm.

We'll be talking to someone about the credit card part tomorrow and see how that goes.

28nm will be as soon as someone starts to produce one, hmm I think R3/R4 are 28nm from hashfast if I'm not mistaken

Hi pandemic,

We have Bitmine Rig modules active in a Round 8 28nm ASIC GB. I think it's a pretty good deal. There's a Halloween sale going on at the moment: 15% off, which our co-op was first to publish this news (which was later corroborated by Giorgio from Bitmine in their CH thread). R8 was adjusted to be 15% cheaper than R7 shares due to this sale. The R8 modules will coexist with the R7 modules and Rig.

Round 8, Bitmine Rig modules: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=310217.0

Cheers!

 ;D

The first batch of boards are complete.

Here's the world's first pics of fully populated Black Arrow Bitfury Prosperos: http://ecointalk.net/gallery/image/61-img-9928/

Thanks bobsag3!

is R10 actually closed or just waiting for people to pay?
Is there a deadline for R10/R11?

Thanks

Hi Etienne,

There is no real deadline on this.

However, these units are now scheduled for shipping today/tomorrow from Black Arrow and expected to be hashing by Wednesday/Thursday. For those that join later, their payouts will be prorated based on how many days they were fully PAID in that mining period.

For example: if they buy their share 7 days into the mining period, they would receive about half of that period's payout per share.

==

We may be offering cloudhashing for this and have plans in the works for pro cloudhashing with other investors and co-ops, completely separate from our at-cost GBs here. If we branch out into cloudhasing this would be operated on a separated site, with full incorporation. It would still be priced to the best values out there in that niche.

So...that is what's going to go on with some of any extra unsold hardware.

We had to re-open R10 as 50 shares didn't get paid due to BTC acquisition difficulties by a buyer.

Therefore: R11 shares have been moved to R10 and there are...

24 shares available.

==

These Black Arrow Bullet Run boards are scheduled for a 10/30 or 10/31 delivery to Missouri. In case you haven't heard, these boards come with a heckuva satisfaction guarantee: These boards are guaranteed to be shipping by November 1 or your money/BTC back!

Also, I'm a bit under the weather, so please PM Thomas or bobsag3 with any R8 or R10/11 concerns you may have. Thanks.

I will take one more share of this.

pd for 1 more share

The website still shows round 10 as closed so I'm not sure how to buy shares?  Do we just post here?  I'm down for 23 shares then or 24 if there's actually 24 remaining, seems like Phillip took one share above me.

I went to the coop website and clicked on round 10 out of stock but I then clicked on round 11 it had stock . So I paid for 1 share of round 11( still in stock)  which I am guessing was moved or will be moved to round 10.

3 shares ordered and paid via website,

Okay, on Thursday, I am in for a share (if there are still shares to be had).

Theres plenty of stock to go around, the first batch of boards should Arrive Wednesday, ~100 in the first box.

Looks like around 19 shares left based on the posts here :)

As the person not in charge of the spreadsheet and since R9-R11 is going to all be in the same towers of of Black Arrows at bobsag3's colo facility: sounds good to me!  :D

This stuff all gets sorted out eventually and we're not going to have to worry about squishy sales numbers when we upgrade to our new site, as the new site will only have sales show as complete with full payment. Talking to a programmer this morning/afternoon is on my to do list today.

19 shares available.

Shipping is estimated for TONIGHT. We should have a tracking # this evening.

So tiny! :)  Trying to get a couple more shares but confirmation is moving slow as hades tonight for me.

No kidding. Im waiting on confirmations for ~83btc

Payment made to Bobsag3 for 5 shares. Order #348 on the site.

Payout address: 12iZh82a81pMnKnk74kDS1bXBcN5AYziK6

Thanks, guys!

I am happy to report I have received the tracking number for the boards, and should have them within 48 hours!

Great, looking forward to getting them hashing.

In for a couple more :)

Well this isn't good... my payment is still unconfirmed.  What happens if the hour goes by and you still don't have it?

It should be fine as long as its pending, as its expecting it to come in but just isn't confirmed yet. I'm looking at the wallet now and it doesn't show any pending so I'm guessing your all set.

Fast question on these black arrow shares.

 I made four orders

order # 248   = completed 10/16/2013   4 shares
order # 282   = completed  10/18/2013  2 shares
order # 306  =  completed  10/21/2013   2 shares


order # 349 + processing  10/27/2013  1 share 

 this order was paid for :

here is my payout address:

1Fo2K52Rz7LZw9fcF5BDdDBjfNaViQ8J3x


please correct.


Since I have 9 shares paid for from 10-16  to 10-28   how do they get counted  for when hashing starts?  I would guess first in first out?

processing just means its paid but hasn't been entered into the spreadsheet or has been and is just missing a payout address. If it says "On-hold" that's the problem.

Orders are entered to the spreadsheets first paid first entered

  thanks for info

Thanks everyone for making R10, the Revenge of R10, a success.

Please move new buys and public questions to the R11 thread.

Cheers!

Good news everyone

sweet deal! trick or treat! give us bitcoins :D :D

My order - #351    October 28, 2013 - still shows as processing.

Missing a payout address.

I have one order on hold, and one processing, so we have a duplicate in the system:

I sent in payment for 380, so you can nuke the one or the other and put me on either 10 or 11.

I have an update: some good news, bad news.

Bad: He's still working out the chaining of the miners. This is important because he only has so many Pis. We're also seeing a little under performance as far as hashrate but kano is working on the cgminer chainminer integration so we should see improvements on that. Such is life on the bleeding edge of a bullet run.

Good: Since bobsag3 is basically Good Guy Bob he's going to make sure that to add a board to our 20 board stack to get our min. hashrate to 8.34GH/s as promised while software issues are worked on. He also managed to stack 6 boards, so far, even with the issues he's seeing.

Bobsag's busy as heck but I'll post some pics he shared with me as soon as I upload them to my cloud photos.

Latest pics:

I realized that I'm a little bummed that they're under performing, but sometimes things don't always work out with initial implementations. But on the bright side this was guaranteed to be shipping by Nov. 1 and we're fortunate to have already received it! kano has been shipped a simultaneous shipment so he'll hopefully be able to tweak some improvements while he adds native BA support to chainminer.

Group Buyers are going to be compensated for any under performance of the 8.34 GH/s mark per share that was promised.

Damn was really hoping they would push to 10.  Good work though.

Remember these are new boards, software hasn't been configured for them yet so if they are operating slightly under spec its not a bad thing when software is finished they should be much faster.

I have the utmost faith that bobsag3 will squeeze the best possible performance out of these biotches for us.  We are dealing with cutting edge mining tech and there will always need to be tweaking. 

Good points, I need patience ;)

Thanks for update, PM now sent with address

Cheers

Gents and ladies, a Saturday, 11/2 update:

- Bob's been having problems chaining the miners beyond a certain point which has limited his ability to stack miners as he only has so many Pis to go around. He seems to have gotten past much of the earlier issues but can't stack more than 6 at the moment (the goal was 10 boards per Pi)
- He's blown a few Pis and a couple of PSUs during his testing.
- He's currently up to almost 1 TH (our target is 3.2 - 4 TH, combined from all 4 Rounds
- He's currently short Pis due to them failing,and his overnight shipment of a bunch of extras from Amazon is stuck at UPS till Monday
- We've learned a lot too: Bullet Runs can be messy, best to have waaay more supplies than you think you needed

- Because I promised optimistically that the boards would be running by now, we're going to make up the hashrate difference based on the following schedule:

Rounds 9/10 should be up to 1TH today, the target is 1.68 - 2TH/s: This pool has just started mining, but there's no dashboards set up yet. When mining deposits appear they're heading to this Black Arrow Bullet Run wallet address: https://blockchain.info/address/1JazVMG7E47ceaTnwbGzeGsrAQeURniwZV

For calculation purposes - Since yesterday, Nov.1, for daily coins expected to be mined I'll be using www.bitcoinx.com as a calculator for lost hashrate compensation calculations unless someone else has a better suggestion.

Rounds 11/12 should be running by the end of the day in Missouri by Monday evening: If hashrate is less than the promised 1.68 TH/s for R11/12 by Tuesday morning, then the same calculations listed above for lost hashrate calculations still apply.


===============================================================================================================


We'd rather take a small hit and keep our co-op members happy, then to have upset co-op members due to the delays. With this in mind, Bobsag3 is adding 3 extra boards per GB (instead of 1 extra) in order to improve hashrate and make up for lost mining power for each Group Buy Round.

If this extra hashrate still doesn't compensate for lost time/hashrate at the end of the mining period, then bobsag3 and the DZ MC will be compensating you directly.

Just dropping in for a quick second, Im still alive.

Current stats (Still speeding up)[BTCGuild Leaderboard]
207   286808   931.30 GH/s

Appreciate the updates and that you guys are making it up to us.

158   286808   1,194.96 GH/s

Still working on the last 2 stacks, should get us at rated hashing speed for R9/R10 tonight :)

We can now watch the hashrate remotely here via the link below. Thank you Thomas!

Also, all rounds have now been combined for easier accounting and as a bonus to Round 11 and 12 customers.  :)

This doesn't effect Round 9 and 10 Group Buyer payouts in any way, but it does allow Round 11 and 12 paid customers earlier hashrate access!



bobsag3: needs his own forum meme as Good Guy Bobsag3.

Minerhosting_BitfuryTest   1,707.37 GH/s

R9 and R10 are now at full speed.

Sorry I am confused, I am on GB 10. My order # is not on your sheet, so is this the right link for me to watch?

I've only completely finished the R9 spreadsheet which is the only one listed. R9-12 will all be following the chart here

http://www.dzminercoop.com/?page_id=302

After I finish the spreadsheets for each order I will condense them to payout address so if you have multiple orders but they use the same payout address the div. payment will be one big one.

Thanks Thomas_s & Bobsag3!

Man, I love good context jokes :D

You are doing great job. Thanks.

I feel dumb I've had this posted for about half an hour or so and forgot to put in a link its messy but look in the url field for what miner it is

http://www.dzminercoop.com/?page_id=470

update


so we are up to about 2th  and should be at 3.4th correct?

this chart shows 3 miners

http://www.dzminercoop.com/?page_id=302


miner 1 = 1688  gh  that is full speed

miner 2 =  0             what would be full speed? 1680?


miner 3 = 400 gh    what would be full speed?

I think the decision to combine all of the group buys is great.
Thanks

Can we create one forum for all of the Bullet Run Group Buys moving forward?

  yeah lock the 4 threads and leave them be.  then add a note and a link on all 4 of them to the combo 9-10-11-12

Agreed, I think this would be helpful going forward.

Machine really slowing down the last hour, are things getting fixed on the r9-12 platform?

New controllers arrived, the boards are being switched over.

Hi guys/gals,

To simplify things and reduce clutter we're locking R9-12 and moving discussions to this new mega thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=328996.0

Thanks! See you there!
