Gents and ladies, a Saturday, 11/2 update: - Bob's been having problems chaining the miners beyond a certain point which has limited his ability to stack miners as he only has so many Pis to go around. He seems to have gotten past much of the earlier issues but can't stack more than 6 at the moment (the goal was 10 boards per Pi) - He's blown a few Pis and a couple of PSUs during his testing. - He's currently up to almost 1 TH (our target is 3.2 - 4 TH, combined from all 4 Rounds - He's currently short Pis due to them failing,and his overnight shipment of a bunch of extras from Amazon is stuck at UPS till Monday - We've learned a lot too: Bullet Runs can be messy, best to have waaay more supplies than you think you needed - Because I promised optimistically that the boards would be running by now, we're going to make up the hashrate difference based on the following schedule: Rounds 9/10 should be up to 1TH today, the target is 1.68 - 2TH/s: This pool has just started mining, but there's no dashboards set up yet. When mining deposits appear they're heading to this Black Arrow Bullet Run wallet address: https://blockchain.info/address/1JazVMG7E47ceaTnwbGzeGsrAQeURniwZVFor calculation purposes - Since yesterday, Nov.1, for daily coins expected to be mined I'll be using www.bitcoinx.com as a calculator for lost hashrate compensation calculations unless someone else has a better suggestion. Rounds 11/12 should be running by the end of the day in Missouri by Monday evening: If hashrate is less than the promised 1.68 TH/s for R11/12 by Tuesday morning, then the same calculations listed above for lost hashrate calculations still apply. =============================================================================================================== We'd rather take a small hit and keep our co-op members happy, then to have upset co-op members due to the delays. With this in mind, Bobsag3 is adding 3 extra boards per GB (instead of 1 extra) in order to improve hashrate and make up for lost mining power for each Group Buy Round. If this extra hashrate still doesn't compensate for lost time/hashrate at the end of the mining period, then bobsag3 and the DZ MC will be compensating you directly. |

Philip publicly voted for a refund.
I'll take that as a call for a vote in R1.
Please let your voice be heard and we'll go from there once we have a majority decision.

Well, we're a democratic co-op. You guys/gals let me know if you want me to open voting for this. I'm bummed about the delay too. I'll support whatever the majority of shareholders decide. It's your co-op, I'm just lucky enough to happen to run it.  |

From their Terms and Conditions:
"2. PAYMENT.
(a) Payments are due in the amounts, in the currency, and at the time stated in the order or confirmation sent by Payonix, or if not so stated: (a) paid Bitcoin, to the account designated by Payonix; (b) within thirty (30) days of date of invoice. If Payonix incurs exchange rate losses due to Buyer’s failure to pay when payments are due, Payonix shall be entitled to equivalent compensation from Buyer for such losses. Payonix is not responsible for pricing, typographical or other errors in any offer by Payonix and reserves the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.
(b) Interest will accrue on all late payments, at the rate of 18% per annum or the applicable statutory rate, whichever is higher and to the extent permitted by applicable law, from the due date until payment in full. In the event of any default by Buyer in the payment of any fees or charges due, or any other default by Buyer, Payonix shall have the right to refuse delivery of any Products until payments are brought current and Payonix may suspend, delay or cancel any credit, delivery or any other performance by Payonix. Such right shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available under these Terms or at law or in equity for Buyer’s default."Now, I'm *not* a contract expert (although I'm undergoing a crash course from a fellow co-op GBC who is also a VP of his own company) but I'd have to say that these payment terms seem to be virtually indistinguishable to a hamfisted prostate massage. Wait: so you mean I could order in a few weeks, and pay COD when they show up? Sign me up!  |

I concur, powered USB hubs can help you daisy chain (sic) a mega Asic (sic) miner. In their defense: my Cantonese or Mandorin's not so hot either unless you want me to say Happy New Year. |

So are these miners performing at 8 GHS and not 10 GHS? How will we be compensated?
They promised 8.34 as min. So 5% Rebate? 5% of 123 usd is about 6-7 usd. or .03btc per share. Of course a day or 2 of tweak and they may run at 8.5 to 9 or 10 Sorry if that wasn't clear in the good news/bad news update a few posts up. In my defense, I'm under heavy antibiotics and dealing w/ a sinus infection, so I might not be Englishing the best right now. Since he's the official BA US Reseller, he has extra boards. For underperformance: he'll add a 21st board to the chain in order to get to that minimum 8.34 GH/s hashrate. He's not going to leave you out to dry. We're not you-know-who: those two companies which shouldn't be spoken of IMO.  He was getting within 10% of the advertised rate with his latest update. A good sized shipment of Pis are also due in today and is out for delivery. |

Awesome! Welcome back! I have an update: some good news, bad news. Bad: He's still working out the chaining of the miners. This is important because he only has so many Pis. We're also seeing a little under performance as far as hashrate but kano is working on the cgminer chainminer integration so we should see improvements on that. Such is life on the bleeding edge of a bullet run. Good: Since bobsag3 is basically Good Guy Bob he's going to make sure that to add a board to our 20 board stack to get our min. hashrate to 8.34GH/s as promised while software issues are worked on. He also managed to stack 6 boards, so far, even with the issues he's seeing. Bobsag's busy as heck but I'll post some pics he shared with me as soon as I upload them to my cloud photos. === Also: 26 shares available. There will be a pause before R13 so that we can let bobsag3 get caught up so that R9-12 are taken care of properly. |

Paid for my 4 shares! (#394)
There was a 20$ usd difference from current coinbase price and price from the site. Is that normal?
Thanks
Hi Etienne, Sorry to hear that. We're all about trying to save you guys money. BTC is still so young there's tons of volatility between exchanges. We use Bitstamp as the rate we go with because it seems like all of our mfgs. we've bought from so far priced their product at this rate. == I have an update: some good news, bad news.

When I saw the above tracking info for Rolla, MO. I just started to laugh. I attended the University of Missouri - Rolla (UMR) many years ago. Prior to it's joining the University of Missouri system, it had been called the "Missouri School of Mines" (aka MSM). I think it's only appropriate that a "Bitcoin Mining" operation is in such close proximity to MSM. Something tells me that the Geology Department won't be adding "Bitcoin Mining 101" to the curriculum any time soon.  Best of luck Bob in your setup of R9. Cool! It's a small world after all. I heard that in a song somewhere. oil Funny that you would mention geography. A funny thing is our newest vetted co-op GB Coordinator, our 6th, isn't even registered here yet but is a VP of his own small but active oil company in Texas. He likes gold/silver and sees BTC as both digital gold and a good hedge. If even oil money is starting to show up in Bitcoin I'd say our little BTC is starting to grow up.

I can escrow BTC sales for anything legal at BTCcrow as an official Escrow Affiliate at 1.5%, paid by the buyer.
AMT has not indicated if they support escrow but IMO it'd still be cheaper for them than PP or CC without the risk of chargeback.
FWIW: Miramyn is a customer of mine and I haven't had a single issue with him. I've found him to be a pleasure to deal with (like all of our customers). IMHO I don't believe that your forum rep has a thick enough skin or the patience to deal with this demanding market and it's generally bad form to accuse your paid customers of something they didn't do just because they have concerns about their order. I say this as someone that has over 25 years of sales experience. If you're making an accusation like that, one should be 100% correct or you're soon going to be seen as Inaba 2.0 here.
Ya gotta be a duck in Customer Service and let complaints roll off like water off a duck's back.
PS. How are you sure that Miramyn wasn't a US soldier in Afghanistan trying to get miners sent to his house? We still have troops there even though it hardly makes the news nowadays.

I'd say that working with Thomas, bobsag3, and -Redacted- has worked out well to provide great Group Buy values and improvements.
Only 1 month and 4 days later: we nearly quadrupled our sales from $30K to $112K!
I can only assume that people are interested in getting access to the best value miners at the lowest possible costs via Group Buys.
==
And as always - don't forget that when in doubt: use escrow!
