You make margin on a per-widget basis; I was making reference to a worker drone in a factory slapping together widgets and getting compensated on how many he slops together in a 12 hour day.  The latter doesn't care about the longevity or success of the product, or if it catches my home on fire.

I couldn't agree more on your business practice.  Kudos to you.

We're not using junk parts, we're not building them in a Chinese sweatshop.

Thank you, sidehack.  This means a lot to a fellow American (and fellow Missourian, coincidentally) AND it gives me confidence I'm getting a quality product made by someone with some professional pride.  Not someone paid on a per-widget basis, with no regards to QC....or my safety.

Not including a power cord is actually a result of *not* making assumptions about the customer.

You're doing the right thing in my opinion.  My 9-5 is in equipment sales and I have to tell you, the variety of cords is ridiculous, ESPECIALLY when you try to ASK the customer what they need and they don't know the difference between a C13 connector and 5-15P, 6-15P and the (very foreign to me) CEE 7/7 for Europe and the BS1363 for the UK.  You also have length requirements...some people want short cords to keep things tidy, others need long.  Make it clear you're not including cords and save yourself the headache.

Looking forward to following your development here and ordering some boards for this huge stack of power supplies I almost sent to the e-recycler until I found this thread.  The cost of your board is substantially better than sourcing ATX supplies AND dealing with the ugly cabling.  I also look forward to interfacing an Arduino with this board eventually for advanced monitoring and control.

Yeah, tell me about it.  Sending payments and staying otherwise quiet is tolerable, so long as the profits are normal.  But to go dark AND not send payment for several days....on top of failing to deliver other promises....needless to say, my hash power has been moved.

Any chance we are going to get a payout any day soon?

Not sure what the whining is about besides the Mac wallet.  But you should have had a backup plan, like a Windows VM.

My wallet sync took less than five minutes.  Minercrew.org was up immediately and hit 600MH.  Cashed out the first 3700 ZEIT and made it to my wallet and confirmed amazingly fast.

I will admit Minercrew saved me...I had four machines mining besides my main.  The four were CPU mining on different pools, just to be able to quickly determine which pools were working, then I switched everything to the one that worked.  Paid off.

So I am a little new to this, but with the difficulty being what it is and rising as quickly as it is, we're looking at less than $80/month per share after costs?

If my math is right, is that pretty typical?
