Round 11 Payment Details (Similar to R7-R10, for the most part)

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

BTC Payments will be directed to thomas_s via our site for R11 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=r11-40-off-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 MSB 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 R11, 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 R11 to thomas_s . Set up Online Auto Reservations for the co-op!

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

10/21 Update: Square decided apple bobbing is better than providing service to their customers because Bitcoin = Scary = Eating Square's lunch. They'd rather be run over by the BTC train instead of hopping on to take advantage of a much cheaper remittance infrastructure.

CC payments are currently suspended; we're working on something more long term. Fortunately, Thomas S. works in finance.

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) are 8 and 11)

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 R11 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.  

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. ]

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.


NEW (10/21) Share Ownership Transfer Fee: There is now a 0.75% Ownership transfer fee if you're buying someone else's DZ MC co-op shares. We put a ton of time, money, and BTC to offer the GB community many of the world's best at-cost and below-cost deals. Refunds and share transfers cause chaos and extra work for us.

This 0.75% share transfer fee *MUST* by paid by the new owner before we will transfer share ownership.

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. 

==

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!

I vote: Stupid scam. 

Noted.

Thank you for the votes gents!

Also, please remember: you're always free to change your mind on your early vote, when new information becomes available.

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.

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..

Sure, there's lots of options on the Group Buys forums. I think we consistently have some of the best deals around, but I'm a bit biased.  

The best values are always found at the high end, which unfortunately puts them out of the reach of most miners...unless we team up to combine our buying power like Costco, so that we can collectively afford the very best miner deals that the market offers.

Here's a summary of my democratic, at-cost or below-cost Miners Cooperative GB activities: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315198.0

Bitmine Round 8 and Black Arrow Bullet Run with Bitfury chips Round 10 are the only two Group Buys I have open at the moment. We're part of a limited market launch for Black Arrow's new Prospero design using Bitfury chips now, about 3.75 months ahead of the public launch, instead of using their own 100GH/s Minion chip in late February.

Due to the fact that I founded the co-op on the basis of at-cost prices and the lowest vetted insured pro ASIC hosting fees around, I believe my GBs to be among the best values in ASIC pre-order hardware *and* hosting, bar none, anywhere. I really am just one you guys; just someone who got sick of seeing people getting scammed and ripped off from their hard earned money.

We've hedged our bets by spreading our investments in small portions among the various manufacturer options that we consider the strongest option(s) available at the time of purchase.

No joke: If you see a better deal somewhere else, please tell me; so we can get in on it.    

Changing signature, so adding this here:

Thank you to all of our co-op members, customers, and to all of the DZ MC co-op leaders (thomas_s, -Redacted-, and bobsag3)! We've had an amazing level of growth and redundancy added to our co-op while providing some of the best ASIC pre-order deals in the world.

With an estimated 450-500 members on six continents and four island chains, we now appear to be the largest, most active, and most diverse Bitcoin Miners Cooperative in the English speaking world!

Mahalo everyone!



Round 1 and Round 1B - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296199.0;all

HashFast Batch 1 BabyJet MPP Included – CLOSED

Upgrade – CLOSED*


News: If you didn't hear, there was a HashFast Baby Jet promo: Round 1B. *You're allotted 1 R1B share for each share you

purchased in Round 1. Because people have been away, busy, or out of BTC, a compromise was reached where someone else may

have bought your share but you are allowed to buy your share back at $45, a $2 markup, as long as you send the buyer (via

me) the BTC for your upgrade share(s) *before* the Promo Upgrade parts ship in late November/early December.

This order is paid and confirmed. Order #991, 419th miner paid. Everything appears to be on track as far as delivery in

early November, but slight delays *are* possible.

==

Round 2 and Round 2B - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=274055.msg2936589#msg2936589

EDIT: The first section is actually the very first Round for the DZ MC.

HashFast Batch 1 BabyJet MPP Included – CLOSED

Upgrade – CLOSED

News: This order paid and confirmed. Everything appears to be on track as far as delivery in early November, but slight

delays *are* possible. This was originally a Bitmine GB with a December delivery, but I was approached by a friend with an

offer we couldn't refuse: a Day 1, 64th miner paid, Order 616.

This was a prototype Group Buy where we voted on what miner to buy! Two gents also granted me their votes, to be voted last.

We voted on Bitmine originally, but then I opened up our voting again and the 1 to 2 month earlier delivery with MPP sealed

the deal with a unanimous switch of votes. Also, we raised about $400 worth of BTC for a less fortunate member of the co-op

from Round 1. thomas_s, myself, and an anonymous Group Buyer from Asia donated these funds, which I believe was a forum

first!
 

==

Rounds 3 and 4:

Rounds 3 –  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299171.0

HashFast Batch 2 Sierra MPP – CLOSED

News: Not only did Round 3 close, it closed with a fury!

It was an $11.5K at-cost ASIC Industry first Flash Sale GB that only took 12 hours to reach capacity! Vetted Co-GBC Thomas

S. and I teamed up on this one. We had the offer fully organized and listed within an hour of the email blast from HashFast.

We believe this industrial class Rig sellout to be the fastest GB forum sellout in this forum's short history.

Round 4 –  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299171.0

HashFast Batch 2 Sierra No MPP – CLOSED

News: **This Flash Sale offer actually ran *96 hours longer* than anywhere else in the world, thanks to our co-op's buying

power and through a phone call to John S., the VP of Marketing at HashFast.** I secured this deal with a ~50% down payment

on about $18K worth of miners for R3/R4.

We were able to get exclusive extended Flash Sale pricing thanks to the power of our co-op, and thanks to what Thomas calls

my "asskissing abilities," if you'll pardon my uncouth language. (We don't take ourselves too seriously around here.)

Round 5 – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304377.0

KNC Jupiter – CLOSED

News: Hashing away in Missouri at our world class ASIC specific, professional, insured and vetted miner hosting facility run

by bobsag3, a DZ MC vetted miner host and GB Coordinator. Miner Hosting LLC's facility was designed with my input (as a pro

network engineer who loves redundancy) and we are close partners. 1st payout sent last week.

-Redacted-, a DZ MC Boxed Set owner (he owns shares in every Round), offered us 2 *below cost* Day 1 KnC Jupiters!

==

Round 6 – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=305886.0

KNC Jupiter – CLOSED

News: Hashing away in Missouri at our world class ASIC specific, professional, insured and vetted miner hosting facility run

by bobsag3, a DZ MC vetted miner host and GB Coordinator. Miner Hosting LLC's facility was designed with my input (as a pro

network engineer who loves redundancy) and we are close partners. 1st payout sent last week.

The 2nd Day 1 KnC Jupiters offered below-cost by -R-. Thanks -R-!
==

Round 7 – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=308512.0

BitMine CoinCraft Rig – CLOSED

News: Ordered and PAID. Delivery is expected sometime in December. This company will be using the same Avalon based Gen 1

rigs, for the most part, so that they don't have to re-invent the wheel to deliver this Rig

==

Round 8 – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=310217.msg3371292#msg3371292

BitMine CoinCraft Rig – CLOSED

News: Enough BTC on hand for at least 1 upgrade module which will be used in the same R7 Rig. Delivery is expected sometime in December. This company will be using the same Avalon based Gen 1 rigs, for the most part, so that they don't have to re-invent the wheel to deliver this Rig. This Round is at 15% off Round 7 prices, as part of a Bitmine Halloween Sale, which the DZ MC was first to announce to the world.

10/31 update: We ended up buying 75% of our hashrate with only 47 shares bought so those that bought in R8 get extra hashrate at no charge thanks to BTC appreciating, and us passing on the extra purchased hashrate to you!

==

Round 9 – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=311465.0

Black Arrow Bitfury Bullet Run (world exclusive) – CLOSED

News: Ordered and PAYMENT PENDING. Shipping is guaranteed by November 1 or your money / BTC back! You still get to keep the

Round 13: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325618.0

Black Arrow Bullet Run (follow on run) CLOSED

12/1 News: This Round has been refunded. Bullet Runs are cutting edge tech. The replacement boards that came in were insufficient to both replace bad R9-12 boards, *and* provide enough hashrate for R13. We apologize for this, and have refunded R13 buyers and have given them a coupon voucher for future or current DZ MC GBs.

==

Round 14:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=324225.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325528.0;all

Robocoin Bitcoin ATMs - CLOSED

This Round was also refunded. However, this refund was due to advice from legal counsel. Sometimes I charge ahead when I should slow down. We refunded the BTC equivalent of about $60K for this one Round alone due to a number of issues regarding murky legality in the US regarding crypto currencies and their possible regulation. Sorry, about this.

However, Round 14 lives on as the forum's first Robocoin ATM service operation as a pro arm of our new Bitcoin umbrella corporation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=330662.0

You must purchase an entire ATM or set of ATMs for us to offer you this service. This straight service offering instead of a GB method for BTC ATMs satisfies our legal counsel.

==

Round 15: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=330351.0

Two KnC Jupiters, Batch 2 - CLOSED

12/2 News: The November batch for 2 KnC Jupiters in R15/16 sold out quick! These should be arriving later this week or early next week <crossing fingers>.

12/10 News: R16 arrived and is now hashing!

==

Round 16: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332517.0

Two more KnC Jupiters, Batch 2 -CLOSED

12/10 News: R16 arrived and is now hashing!
==

Round 17: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=335145.0

Exclusive Black Arrow Group Buy for x-3 Prosperos - CLOSED, Permanently

12/2 News: DZ MC co-leader Thomas posted this one. Customer response has been amazing! Thank goodness we can do (near) unlimited ordering from Black Arrow to meet demand. These Prosperos are scheduled for a February shipment.

==

Round 18: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=336828.0

Bitmine Rig, 2 TH/s - CLOSED

News: Our 2nd BM Rig sold out too. This batch 2 Rig is scheduled for a January delivery from Europe.

==

Round 19: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=347732.0

KnC Neptunes: 6 TH/s of powa! CLOSED

News: bobsag3 - owner of Miner Hosting LLC, and my business partner in our new pro arm - couldn't wait for me to post this (was sleeping at the time) so he went ahead and posted his first Rig GB! Like DZ MC GBs tend to do: this one also sold out quickly. I believe this set a forum record for fastest sellout.

Neptunes are scheduled for a Q1/Q2 release. Word is: late March/early April is the expected ship date (but this is no guarantee).

==

Round 20: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=366815.0 -

Our first LTC/ALT rig GB! OPEN

News: We made it to page 3 of this thread on the GB forum before we were banished the spammy hinterland that is the alt-currency forum here.  

We have 8 test units w/ 4 GPUs each (32 GPUs total) that are serving as the test beds for this Round. Should be hashing about January 15 at our 2nd miner hosting facility.

==

Round 21 -
Bitmain Antminers (2x per subround, 720GH/s total OPEN


News: This is near term hardware, so the pricing is higher. In fact, as of Dec. 21, we pre-ordered a number of Antminers.



Total Ordered nominal ASIC HashRate, so far: 19.8 94.68 TH/s+
Miners currently hashing: 2 KnC Jupiters, ~80 Bitmine Bitfury boards in Missouri.

Next deliveries: Round 15/16 2 KnC Jupiters Batch #2, Round 7/8 Bitmine Rig, HashFast Rounds 1-4 (hopefully)

Prepping for the future means making sure the robots work for you instead of displacing you.  

I unlocked voting for the MPP chips decision process.

If you're in Round 3: Please vote so that your voice can be heard.

Every share you own counts as 1 vote as usual, if you vote publicly or via PM, which is the official vote vs. the poll, which is a public vote.

As someone who runs a co-op with orders from KnC, HashFast, Bitmine, and Black Arrow Bitfury Prosperos (with exclusive bullet run access 3.75 months early) I pretty much agree with aerobatic's assessment.

I haven't jumped on the Cointerra train yet, but I do see them as a quality entrant to the market. They appear to be running a bit late, likewise HashFast could possibly be running slightly late.

BTW, if you're dead set on mining and you don't have tens of thousands of dollars, I think Group Buys provide the best values, if you can find a good one that you like.

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.

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

Cheers!

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!  

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

Hi,

I hear that you guys may be thinking of selling your Saturns. Just to confirm what bobsag3 was saying:

We'll buy out your Saturns at $3200 each, USD or BTC if you guys want to bail.

bobsag3 is one of the DZ MC leaders as well as an Official Black Arrow US Reseller. Our Miners Cooperative has bought at least $70K worth of miners worth about 7 TH/s+  in 2 months and I've successfully engineered 3 Miner Buyouts for Rounds 2, 5, and 6 of our co-op's activities.

BTW: This offer is good till Monday, if your co-op is interested. We can even escrow the buyout at 1% extra at BTCrow if you guys want. [Disclaimer: I'm an official Escrow Affiliate at BTCrow]

We'd have to split the escrow fee, if we went that route, however.

If not: no worries!

Cheers,
DZ

Edit: You likely don't need to go thru Escrow but that's up to you guys. I've done over 260 BTC worth of co-op transactions from just this one co-op wallet (I have 3 so I can do multiple simultaneous GBs) without a single incident: https://blockchain.info/address/1C5R7t1XdVPxUBFUnBWJnRPx7ZMZBgnv7L

I've also vetted 9 or more GB Coordinators and/or miner hosts as part of my GBEC services, for free, including firsttimeuser, bobsag3, thomas_s, -Redacted-, and Dabs, among others.

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

More great news! I hear that they're even working weekends in order to get this to us 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

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

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
