Title: [GATHERING INTEREST] New York Neptune Group-Buy
Post by: wmcleod on December 04, 2013, 04:39:53 AM
I have the option of grabbing a Neptune (have a Saturn and two Jupiters).
Wondering if there's any interest of a group-buy on a Neptune (or two?)?  I think it would be great if the group-buy could be localized to New Yorkers so that we can get together and possibly embark on a more ambitious venture then simply paying and collecting BTC... but if there's no interest in a local group-buy I would not be opposed to extending the opportunity to others.

Details of said group-buy are obviously pending interest.

PM or post input!
 :)

What's the minimum buy in? I assume this would be hosted buy you? Hopefully in a data center?

I'm based in Pelham. 
I have a 4.5 TH pool and it is not in a data center; however, I have taken measures to ensure my equipment has a maximum life expectancy.  I've had one piece fail in 2 years (BFL).

I cannot speculate on details until I know what the number of interest is like.  Looks like there is quite a bit of interest based on posts here and PMs I have received.

I'll field interest for a day or two more while I draw up some game-plans for different circumstances.

I am interested.  Keeping this local and face-to-face communication has advantages.

Where in Pelham?? I used to work at Benchmark Education Company on 5th. You know a Bill O'Connor? His dad knew the mayor really well, but I haven't been up there much since I stopped working there.

I registered a channel on freenode, #nycbtcgroup, so at least we have a common place to share stuff.  I'll be in there 24/7, just whisper me for ops when you get on.  If I'm away I'll get it done when I'm back ;)

We can always change the channel name, just figured I'd use that one for now.

I would guess since we are wayy past the deadline to order this offer is no longer good.

But good question!
