Does this mean we don't get paid for last month? Or have just to be patient? Huh
Just wait. Seal has always paid the participants.

Although I am optimistic because of Seal's history, if his site was truly tied to Mt. Gox, then I am sure he could give two shits about paying out a petty amount to some forum advertisers as he probably just lost a significant amount of money with the recent crash that occurred in February.

Wish him the best, as it was really looking up for him in January.

Mt. Gox is shit and I feel bad for all of those that have lost coins with that place.

You know, I almost feel bad for you sometimes, Fluffaroo, but then you say things like this.... [bold for emphasis]

- A small number of clients, including yourself and wobbzz, were affected by a bug that presented air mail (at surface mail pricing) and EMS as the two shipping options. You chose the cheaper and slower of the two, perhaps under the impression that delivery would be air mail timelines (around 4 weeks to the US). This was not discovered at shipping time, as shipping data is uncached and 3NF, and showed up on the backend as surface mail. There was no way we could have known till it was brought to our attention.

You already acknowledged that the error was on YOUR END, so why would you act as if the customer made a mistake in the shipping option? 

If only a "small number of clients" were affected with the error on your end then why not just bite the bullet?

I just lost $666.67893978 (and fees on top of that) on Bitifinex getting squeezed out my short by that fucking damn 3K whale on Stamp causing panic buying pushing Bitcoin up above resistance levels. He is most likely operating on Bitfinex also where there is a similarly sized ball of capital pushing the bidding up. I also joined in the momentum long buying so I hope his plans aren't to take a big dump on Bitcoin later on.

This loss however takes a big dent out of my recent profits. Very annoyed by it.

So I am at a net loss for this week (starting today Monday 3rd March), and indeed for the whole month of March so far.

Jesus Christ, that seems like a good omen.

I bought a fuck ton* of hashrate from that one site that I won't name, so that I could mine some FLAP.  Man, I felt like a god for a bit because I was dominating the hashrate.  Anyways, that coin hasn't amounted to shit yet. 

Hopefully one day I can come back to this thread and say "oh fuck no, I got bundles of money from trading this alt/shit-coin" but until then, I will say I am at a net loss.

*a fuck ton = 220MH/s

Met Damnsammit here locally to pick up my custom frame, it's awesome! Looking forward to getting one more soon. Now US customers don't have to wait to get some of the best frames for mining.  Grin

Yessir!  

Maybe next time we can meet up for a coffee or a drink as I would love to talk to you more about mining.  My back was in a bit of pain when we met so we kind of kept the conversation short.  Any feedback would be much appreciated!

FYI the custom frame in the OP was created just for tifozi.  I'd love to see some hardware porn as well Wink

You really shouldn't even offer surface mail as an option.


I'm removing it next week as soon as we get updated EMS rates - some countries will be much cheaper than they are now:)

Good deal man. Only having dealt with international orders from Europe and China, I was expecting like 4-6 weeks at most.

A quarter of a year later...

 I'm not sure if I'll get it before I move out of this house in the next few weeks.

Unfortunately, we mined a bad fork of KARM today for several hours.

I love mining forks.  Think I might just go back to Litecoin.  I kind of miss having two currencies sometimes...

Yep, it definitely sucks, not only for us, but for OpenRigs as well.

Fluffy needs to go slap some sense into the post office there.  Doesn't the South African government want your business to succeed so they can have some tax dollars?  Grin

Update: February 25th, 2014

Alright, I have finished mapping everything out.  Got the designs set in stone and took pictures of the stackable unit.  Also will post a picture of a custom rig I made for a local customer today.

Stackable unit dimensions:
Outside dimensions 25.5" x 9.5" x 15.5"
Inside dimensions 24" x 8" x 11"

There are going to be two main "types" of stackable units, basically.  One is going to be the base that has the end-caps on it, the other will be the top unit which has the caps on the top so you don't have anything sticking out.  In the middle there will just be the base units with no end-caps.

Alright, with that being said, I am likely going to start taking preorders within the next few days.  I am in discussion with a business partner and we are going to order a lot of aluminum to get a bulk discount and get the pricing down, so that leads me to pricing!

The base price will be $109 per unit.  This will include pre-drilled (and tapped) holes for the motherboard and the GPUs. 

Add-ons will be available but I have not set the price on them yet.  These add-ons will include PSU support bars (see picture below), HD support bar (no picture yet), and brass or plastic mobo standoffs.  There has been interest in a box fan mounting bracket, so I will likely be buying a box-fan tomorrow so that I can make an add-on for that as well.

I do not have the price of shipping but these will be coming from Dallas, TX (zip code 76017) if you want to calculate it.

I will be starting a new thread and closing this one when I start taking pre-orders.  I am still working on designing the assembly instructions, but will be taking pictures and probably video tomorrow to throw up on the website (launching soon!) for the time being.  Eventually I will have a printed instruction page to include with the packaging.

Any questions, feel free to ask! 

Here are the picures:


Base unit - has end caps on the feet for a cleaner look

Top unit - has no stacking connectors on top

Custom design for a local customer.  This sucker is big.  Lots of space between cards on this puppy!  Notice the PSU support rails on this rig.  Those will be the exact same design for the add-on, I just ran out of the angled tubing and didn't feel like running up to Home Depot.  I will be stacking it up to 4 or 5 units high tomorrow and take some more pictures.

Yeah, lol that happened to mine too.

Maybe we will get a St. Patty's Day present and it will come with a six-pack of Killians Irish Red? Grin

Hi Damnsammit,

Very interesting design! I like it.  I just had a little suggestion for you.  If you make one with a box fan mount also make a space to mount a furnace filter between the fan and the video cards.  Then you can just slide in furnace filters to keep the dust down!  There are lots of different size filters so you should be able to find one that fits nicely.  Then your miners will double as air filters.  I'll keep an eye out on this I may be interested in buying 2-4 of them when you get it all figured out.  My normal cases with cards hanging out all over the place are a bit of a problem... lol  I currently have a normal case laying on it's side open with a strip of cork flooring laying across it that the video cards rest on and a tower air-filter laying on it's side blowing air across the cards.  It works...  but is really a pain if I need to move anything.  The other case has a card hanging from the side opening with zip ties.   the risers I bought from you are working great though!


Korxax,


1NtV1q29FtRAYAkMJHMYbASZLiLur2FQe

Hahahah!  Oh man, some of the things that we do as miners to get our cards running.  I remember when I had a regular case that I opened up and had the cards rised using some old notebooks.  I should have taken a picture of that lol

Well I am just about done with all of the analysis, and am finishing up making about 5 units right now.  Likely going to be getting a very large shipment of aluminum next, and the price should be knocked down pretty low due to the bulk discount.  Hopefully in the $100-120 range.  PSU and HD supports will still be extra though. 

Base unit will include predrilled (and tapped) mobo standoff holes and GPU holes and will be stackable.  I scrapped the design for non-stackable as it doesn't really cost much extra to make it stackable and I like the feet on it.  Going to take some more pictures today, with them stacked up. 

Should be ready to take orders very soon.  Just got to finalize the pricing, and then update all of the info on the website, and get this damn shipping situation (with the shopping cart software) under control, then it will be good to go.

Alright back to work... I will post some pictures tonight.

Don't stress about it - I just imagined you in a scene from The Wolf of Wall Street, making it rain Bitcoins, alcohol flowing everywhere, posting on the forums, I could totally see it happening:)

That's pretty much exactly how the night went... unfortunately with less strippers, though Sad

So, logically speaking, there are one of 3 possibilities:

1. We have created an entire fake government department for the sole purpose of pretending to ship parcels. Somehow, miraculously, we are able to make these parcels track on sites like the Universal Postal Union's Global Track and Trace, or 17track.net, or one of any number of tracking sites.

hahahahahaha, the Fluffy shadow regime!

This made me laugh.  Sorry for being such a douchenozzle this weekend.  You are a cool dude.

Sam and I sorted it out. He said in his post that he would ask for a refund but he was afraid that he'd have to send it back and I'd never receive it to refund him. In a PM I offered him a full refund, and then when it arrives he could flip it and settle the payment. Then he posted here.

We've since sorted it out in private - I explained that I deleted his post, not for any negativity, but because of the competitor-ish stuff (which is what I pm'd him initially when he posted it), and he explained that he misunderstood the "flip" part of my refund offer. The refund offer is not something I would offer to just anyone, as I have to trust that the person will honour the liability once they receive it, which is why I did it in PM.


I just want to confirm that me and Fluffy have sorted it out.  I was upset and drinking when I made that post (it was at 3AM on a Sunday) and I misinterpreted the offer that was made to me by PM.  For some reason I thought it sounded like a bad deal, but it was fair.  I know his company is not trying to rip people off, but I think there should have been a better disclaimer as to how long the product actually takes to ship.  Needless to say, it was wrong for me to try and promote my own business through his sales thread, and I apologize for that, Fluffy.

No refund is needed... yet.  Now if I don't get it before I move out of this house next month, then I will likely need a refund as it will be getting RTS'd whenever it arrives.  

Again, I apologize for my rude behavior, Fluffaroo.  Sometimes I get a little angry when I'm drinking spirits and I had quite a bit of vodka in me at that point.
