For 720 Euro, they better come in pairs.

+1  Keep the chips spaced, oversize the board, keep them cool by air.

H-card is pretty good design.  Make the M-board like USB/Avalon hub.
Run it from anything that can access your "USB hub".

I have 48.  BTC5.5 for 16, or BTC15.5 for all 48.

PM if you are interested.

Better reconsider it.  Bitfury full kit is 63 BTC and will never ROI.

The best you can do is ~42BTC in mining profits from a 0.5TH today, assuming 25-27% diff increase every 11-13 days.
(If you start mining today)

I still have 48 chips left for sale from my June 22nd order of 128 chips.

I'll be getting them today or tomorrow.

I'm selling them for BTC5.5 for 16 chips.  Shipping included to anywhere in the world.

They are priced to sell at ~$40/chip, below BFL price (with chip credits factored in)

PM me if you are interested.

Look at bitfury board for clues.

Dave,

Please cancel my orders for h-boards #882 (6 boards) and #824 (24 boards).

At this difficulty progression, I feel that these boards are just too expensive to justify this purchase.

I have elected to receive a store credit for my Aug kit, but it looks like I won't be needing it so please send my Aug kit payment to 1CorsCrBEcbncfnR7BVKadUZbHP7xNZCjJ.

If price of the h-boards does change, I'd be very much interested in buying them.

They are excellent product and your handling of the sales has been excellent.

Thanks,

I understand your position.  IMHO, guys like you will be priced out of business because some private pools in Eastern Europe and China are adding hashing power at cost.  ~$300/TH+power supplies.  You'll never be able to compete with that.

Sorry, but the numbers don't lie.  That is the reality.  

Don't get me wrong. I respect what you are trying to do, but the reality is that your 2TH product will not be worth $100 in Feb, 2014, if the difficulty progression continues at this rate.

Even KNC & Bitfury will have to slash prices on next batches.  Otherwise they will be mining with the hardware themselves and incurring negative ROI like the rest of us.

This is a race to the bottom.  The argument that bitcoin price and network hashing rate will adjust does not hold because people buy mining hardware without looking at the numbers.  If they did, the network hashing rate increase would be at 3-5%/yr (fiat inflation).  Will we see the correction in prices or network hashing power?  I don't think so.  As long as the chips can be cranked out at few cents and boards assembled at $15-20, the march will continue.

Still have 48 chips left for sale from my 128 chip buy.

PM me if you are interested.

They are BTC5.5 for 16 chips or BTC15.5 for all 48.

They are in Canadian Customs at the moment, will be released today or tomorrow.

Thanks,

Nobody is questioning BA integrity.  What the problem with pre-orders (not just BA) is that the price should be adjusted down every diff increase (10-14 days) by 30%.

$5,000.00
$3,500.00
$2,450.00
$1,715.00
$1,200.50
$840.35
$588.25
$411.77
$288.24
$201.77
$141.24
$98.87

Why? Because every 10-14 days your earnings get a 30% haircut.  Every 10-14 days!!!

Even with one month delivery you are losing 50% before you even receive the product.

But ALL manufacturers keep the price flat from the announcement to delivery.  That is why selling h/w is the only way to make money in "mining business" because you lock your profits in advance.

I don't see how you can get ROI from any pre-orders...Especially, with private pools that get hardware at cost.

I still have 48 for sale

BTC5.5 for 16 chips.

+1.  Good call to sent it to Luke-Jr. 

Thanks for your update.

Looks like I found 261222 with diff: 365.53M (3:33 EST), pool still reports I did not find it.  Not sure how the pool reconciles submitted shares if it cannot determine who submitted the hash that solved the block.  

Inaba, what is my numerical user ID?

Are you hashing with any of the chips/engines?  You should be able to issue some query commands to the controller even if chips are not on the board or are dead. No?  Maybe you did not flash it right.  If it is firmware like BFL's, that is how it should work. i.e. the chip map will be empty.

Any idea when form will get your board?  I just hope it is just a software issue.  If it is a hardware problem, the project will be pretty much kaput as most people will just order from Mr. Teal ($600 without cooling elements) and start hashing before KNC gates open wide.  

Yifu/BitSynCom/ngzhang will not be selling any gen 1 or 2 directly.  They would sell very few units if they tried.
They will hide behind proxies and resellers who can offer a better customer service.  And that is probably a very smart move on their part.

Their reputation took a massive hit and there is no easy way to recover from that.  Especially in the environment of new, more transparent and more responsive manufacturers and resellers.

True, but if bitfury lowers prices, watch out.

Nobody wants to pay extra for in-hand anymore. I say you have another two weeks to move it.

I bid BTC40.  Please don't be offended.  I'm interested.

Looks like these days, when you buy hardware, you are pretty much stuck with it.

If you want to protect yourself against this fiat/btc rate fluctuations, you should buy the corresponding amount of bitcoins when you purchase with bitcoins (in fiat) and sell them when you get a refund.  You might still lose a bit but not as much.

IDs to buy mining hardware?  They must be kidding.

Just ignore them.

BTC40  if the order can be transferred to me before shipment.  Works out to $5040 at $126/BTC (current bitpay rate).

Business men everywhere are all the same.  What they do is limited by the laws of where they operate?
If you think otherwise, you are very naive.

If they run business, they run it to maximize profit.  Period.
If they run a non-profit organization, that is a different story.
