You dont think bitfloor will come thru tonight?... so i can buy one on my own..
 I put down 75BTC in USD!    Sad

I'm not sure, maybe try contacting them, but I wouldn't really start to worry about it until it doesn't show up for a day+


Guess a broken heart will be the least of my worries at that point.. I dunno why i gave myself the impression bitfloor would be good to go in 30 min! I thought i had it in the bag.. Such is life ..

 Thanks for your help regardless, i wouldnt have gotten this far without it... guess a small chance is better than none.

You're welcome.

I apologize for recommending them, they've always been very fast when I've deposited cash.

I'm sure your money will show up soon, don't worry.

Yes, there are still units for purchase. I decided I did not want to take on any more investors, as it was starting to get a little out of control.

It would be nearly impossible to keep track of all the transactions if I ordered one/two/several more. I already have my work cut out for me as it is. Smiley

I see. Well thanks for the service you provided. If there was a way of automating this I would offer the same service.

Happy hashing to you all!

since CoinHoarder is done, then i will be happy to take over the next avalon orders/purchase.  I have space, power, infrastructure in place to house several.  I run a computer business in Louisiana and when i thought coinhoarder was done last night I created my own forum post to try and do exactly what he is doing.  I closed it after he opened his back up, but would be willing to do it still if there is interest.  i know i am a "noob" here but as you can read in my forum post and see the pictures i am serious.  only been mining for last 3 weeks, but dont think i've missed the boat yet if i can get these miners up and going.  see forum post here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159316.0

lol...hmmmm...reality is so harsh....


wonders how these 6...possible 7 avalons at 650watts apiece are going to get power from a 4Kw residential service...

Nice try, but I have 7 LTC miners going RIGHT NOW that pull more power than an Avalon will (I am getting rid of the LTC rigs to make room for the Avalons).....

When you run on 240v, it's pretty easy..

Easily.  200 amp 240V service is standard in most modern residences these days.  That's good for 48kW.

I recommend that CoinHoarder power the Avalons all on 240V circuits, for efficiency's sake.

trying what?  just hoping you have thought things thru and not just have dollars signs flashing thru your head.

 Watts= voltage X amps

At 120 volt total watts would be 2400 at 20 amps. Code states that circuit conductors that are fed by this breaker on a continuous load can only be loaded to 80%. #12 wire rated at 20 amps, derated to 16 amps continuous = 16 x 120 = 1920 watts, #10 wire rated at 30 amps derated to 24 amps continuous = 24 x 120 = 2880 watts. On load calculations this derate should be taken into consideration. To maintain the required wattage needed for the load the wire size and/or the next size breaker may be needed.

prepare to be suprised is all im sayin.

Ultimately you're doing the community a service.  Sure you make a little profit at the beginning but it can become cumbersome or tedious as time drags on.  Having had my GPUfarm close to 50TH I know about constantly worrying about miner downtime (FPGA farms are a lot easier to manage).  I was hesitant to start a group buy but I really feel bad for people who would like to get into the ASIC scene but don't have 6k laying around, are in the US and have crappy options for buying BTC or are not technically proficient with mining equipment but nonetheless fully supportive of BTC.

Yeah I did wonder/ask this

he quotes some figures for his amp on two circuits / 240V

but does not have 3 phase

here I found it

30amp 240v circuit and a 60amp 240v

so that is

60 x 240 = 14.4 KW

and

30 x 240 = 7.2KW

assuming he runs nothing else

7 x 650 = 4.55 KW

so he appears to have (14.4 + 7.7)/4.55 = 4.7 x off

however given he has house hold appliances to run and a lite coin farm, we need to say he woud apear to have 2 x of what he needs.

I would rather he had 3 phase though

because even in some blackouts/brown outs the other phases keep going

he said he had 30amp 240v circuit and a 60amp 240v circut

though i wonder becuase us has 110 - 120 v

240 v is Australian standard....he may not be in the US

I think in fact with 240 V coinhorder can not be in the US,
defn Oz


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

also I must confess a 60 amp circuit it pretty huge but it seems not uncommon

Guess a broken heart will be the least of my worries at that point.. I dunno why i gave myself the impression bitfloor would be good to go in 30 min! I thought i had it in the bag.. Such is life ..

 Thanks for your help regardless, i wouldnt have gotten this far without it... guess a small chance is better than none.


You're welcome.

I'm sure your money will show up soon, don't worry.

Hey it wasnt your fault .. it was mine for sure.. You didnt put a gun to my head!!! Smiley

I looked at a bunch including bitinstant and just went with bitfloor.com since there was a bofa nearby.


i dont even know what happened.. I got put through the paces tho through the whole thing in terms of trying to come up with the loot and getting it in one account and the, anticipation and anxiety of making the cut in terms of availability... and the eventual heartbreak.

 Im afraid i have missed out on the legendary Avalon asic miner(AA#3). Luckily my group was only two other people. We teamed up to get 75BTC
Its a tough one to swallow but sometime it is what it is.. & doesnt always have to be something or someone to blame, but if theres anyone to blame its me.


Im just gonna have to wait till tomorrow to receive the BTC i guess.. and then ill have to chaulk the (fee%) 2-3% or whatever the fee was for $6k..
 as a loss when i convert back to USD to give folks their funds back.

Before i tried this i had pleaded with yufi to make an exception for wire transfer but no luck.. so my cards are played out even if i had another $6k which i dont!! haha..

I was hoping to get some feedback here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159340.0 but i guess that part of the forum doesnt get to much traffic.. I tried to delete it, since at this point ive bout given up.. dont even wanna look at the stock. Sad

 Just hope tomorrow i can wrap up this ordeal.. Im in Cali so NYC is three hours ahead of me. When i come too from my comma i hopefully have chewed through some business hours and will have heard from them.
 
what can i say .. ya win some ya loose some and today i lost..

If anyone is interested.....

I started my own group buy... But I would love to keep it at 2 units total.
