Hi slu2,

I'm very active in the cryptocurrency miner acquisition biz and I deal with manufacturers from the US, Asia, and Europe. I have Hong Kong contacts from a reputable company that has successfully shipped mining hardware: Black Arrow. They're developing their own ASIC called the Minion and my business partner and primary vetted miner host: bobsag3 from Miner Hosting LLC (who is also their official US reseller) is visiting them in Hong Kong in a few days.

My miner's cooperative has an Exclusive Group Buy of their x-3 Prosperos and we helped Black Arrow test their Prospero design and assembly process in a Bullet Run using Bitfury chips last month.

Please send me a PM with details about how you'd like to get into hardware development if you're serious, as I've found Black Arrow to essentially be the anti-Avalon IMHO [Avalon and BFL are permabanned from our miners co-op because of their past treatment of fellow miners]. I can't promise you anything, of course, but I'm always willing to help others and may be able to get you an intro to the owner of Black Arrow, if you're interested.

Sorry, at the moment, this part is all manual.

Also, for those wondering/asking: this is the only DZ MC GB open at this time.

Cheers,
DZ

I finally got caught up to where I could update this thread. I apologize to everyone for the delay in getting to your PM and I'm sorry if I missed your PM (please resend it if I missed it and one of the other co-op leaders can't answer your question for you).

Holy cow, we're up to nearly 20 TH/s of ordered hashrate. Thank you everyone! This growth has been amazing. We're actually at well over 200 members - with tons of repeat buyers- and have done over $400K in gross sales of our low cost GB shares! Not too bad for a bunch of amateurs doing this in our free time. We've done so well and have attracted new talent and investors that we have now decided to go pro and have also been doing extensive planning for this over the last few weeks.

Please keep an eye out for continuous innovations coming from DZ MC co-op leaders, such as our Robocoin ATM service offering for those that have purchased 1 or more Robocoin ATMs. We have a number of cool projects in the works, and LTC/alt-coin mining is one of them.

==

As for doing an LTC GB: please send your requests for this to Thomas (thomas_s). He may have the bandwidth for this now that we're down to 1 open GB (Round 17 Black Arrow x-3 Prospero). We *may* end up just offering this on our site as mining contracts depending on the amount of interest we receive.

I can also report that the first master LTC/alt-coin GPU rigs for internal testing/mining have already been set up at our primary vetted host facility: bobsag3 at Miner Hosting LLC.

That's amazing that in USD ROI terms, just this half month almost generated more per share than we paid for 1 share, thanks to Bitcoin's rise in value, and thanks to other manufacturers not shipping miners yet.

The majority voted to sell this miner and we will if that's what the majority want.

We could probably get $18K-ish for it. For the sake of simple math: Assuming each miner makes $15K each month, that $18K only represents about 5-6 weeks worth of mining at current BTC values.

Shall we still sell or revisit this in a few weeks?

Thanks for being patient with this Bullet Run.

Another thing bobsag3 and crew had to deal with was: the flu!

He didn't mention this part but they had to deal with the flu on top of all the hardware failing.

We are the #1 Bitcoin Miners Co-operative with ultra low cost Group Buy shares with many exclusive DZ MC Bonuses.

With every co-op leader being vetted beforehand, we are one of the most trusted names on the Group Buys forum.

We've already raised close to $400K in 19 Rounds of at-cost or below-cost ASIC miner GB shares and have 7 Industrial Class miner rigs currently hashing and/or paying out to fractional owners.

We are now offering our services to the Litecoin and Scrypt mining world! Litecoin is goin' off if you haven't noticed.    

We intend to become a premier Point Of Sales for High Quality Litecoin/Scrypt Rigs with 2-4 GPUs.

Sorry, one more day's delay.

bobsag3 is stuck in St. Louis! Turned out to be bad timing on the delivery WRT the holiday.

Yeah, sorry fixed my post. Too many GBs even for me, lol!

I had updated R15/16 w/ shipping updates so I kinda had that round on my mind.

Welcome aboard gents! And welcome back co-op vets!

Update: there's 26 out of 200 100 GB shares available for this unit.

(copy pasta from R15)

Latest update this morning, from KnC site:

Order changed to "In Progress."      

Latest update this morning, from KnC's site:

Order changed to "In Progress."      

Thanks GG bobsag3!

Beautiful product barntech. Congrats!

I also have a Drillbit board that's being hosted with bobsag3 at Miner Hosting LLC (in addition to about 10-15 TH on the way, joining our co-op's ~6TH already on site from 7 rounds). bobsag3 is about as perfect a vetted miner host and reseller that you'll find, if you've ever had hardware hosted with him or bought from him before at minersource.net

Of course: I'm biased as his marketing/vetting agent for hosting and business partner in new ventures.  

BTW, I've got *great* relations with Coingig if we felt like listing it there.

I helped the admins uncover a couple of scams there, and I'm a fan of their setup and site.

Also: I like the suggestion of doing a separate vote for sale method.

I'll mod the poll and reset voting.

Please don't forget to check your email if you'd like to vote. 

Thanks.

If you'd like to officially vote for this, please vote publicly or send a PM to thomas_s., -Redacted-, or myself, with the number of shares you own.

For example, via PM:

Subject: R5/R6 vote

Yes, please sell
3 shares R5, 3 shares R6

or publicly:

Keep Mining
3 shares R5, 3 shares R6

We need the voting equivalent of 101 R5/R6 GB shares (out of 200) to sell a Jupiter.

We now have R19 Neptune set up by request from our co-op.

However, I can't believe the prices that people are actually *still* paying on ebay for these:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=knc+jupiter&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc

What's the general consensus on this? Even w/ ebay's awful fees, we'd still all stand to gain by selling soon, if that's what our majority want. A sale at this price is likely to be well over what the unit will generate (unless BTC prices continue to skyrocket).

If so: let me know as I need to go get my PayPal acct. out of limited status (they're not happy when you do a CC chargeback on BFL Jallys outside PayPal's 45 day refund window). That or we'll sell it thru Thomas's or Philip's account, if he's game.

Starting a vote. Please vote and tell your friends and tell other R5-6 co-op members to vote if you'd like to influence this vote.

Also: please follow up with a PM or public vote, including your number of share votes. We'll hold voting thru Saturday evening. Hopefully everyone will have stopped by before then.

Please also feel free to discuss the pros vs. cons of this early sale.

Thanks!

Yes, please separate Round orders from one another. For example: if you bought from R17 and R19. 2 shares in R17 would be 1 order, 5 shares in R19 would be a separate 2nd order...

Our backend tools don't separate this and instead lumps all the BTC together, meaning we have to do all these back calculations which can lead to possible errors.

It turns out that their January Rig maxes out at 2TH/s of nominal hashrate and not the 2.5TH/s that we were expecting.

Bitmine says they're in the process of updating their site which explains the inconsistencies we saw.

Thanks to everyone who hung in there for R13.

bobsag3 just told me that the boards will be in tomorrow on Wednesday.

Also, if you didn't see my update on one of the other DZ MC GB threads, I'm a bit backed up on the PMs. Sorry, if I haven't gotten to your PM yet. Starting a new biz is time consuming, and we have a number of projects going on.

Doing my best to get caught up but please PM thomas_s, or bobsag3 (for hosting related questions) if you have questions that they may be able to answer for you.

Cheers,
DZ

Right on GG bobsag3!

I know I've got great partners when I wake up to new KnC product news...and the gents already have it all figured out!    

Nice to know that we're all on the same wavelength about things like this.

OT: backed up on PMs at the moment, sorry everyone. Lots of meetings and discussions with investors. Catching up on PMs as best I can this afternoon/evening.

Hi WinterParker,

Great! These units are already being produced and are built as monthly batches.

Please send a follow up email to: cryptoatmco@gmail.com

This is the email address one should use for serious inquiries into this Robocoin ATM service. This will put you in contact with your CFO, Jonathan Kohn, for further discussions and questions.

Mahalo,
DZ
