Burnin is busy building the hashing farm for Cryptx - wants to get rich quick. No richment involved. He had tight margins for bitburner and even the 50% refunds for bitburners would bring him in real trouble when the work for the bitfurys isnt succeeding. So dont be too hard on him. Its not the case that he is now rich. As far as i know he is working on everything.

Well he should purely be working on the bitburners, ship them, and then return to other projects. IMHO. Its not in his hands. The assembler has to have free machines. Those have to be prepared to make a run first too. Even though he had luck and was able to create a good amount of boards instantly it normally takes 1 to 2 weeks to get a place in line of an assembly machine. And since this all wasnt be planable like it should have been it takes a while. Its not that he can speed it up now.

I received the chips from Zefir for batch 3 and up. I have not received boards from Sebastian's Batch yet. Once the chips are in hand of my contractor there is not much i can do to accelerate things. And this week they were down to 1 Machine because of maintenance. I initially arranged to use 2 contractors simultaneously, to deal with the large number of boards. The chip refunds cut the board volume to less then half, I had to scale the operation down to reduce costs. That also included the shipping contractor. Regarding bitfury: I have an exclusive agreement with cryptx until mid October. Revenue i get on that deal will end up in the refunds. My 50% refund offer exceeds my current available financial resources. (all Paypal payments are unavailable) The refunds are currently suspended because of that. But I will stand by my word and carry out the 50% as soon as i can. To any of the "he gets rich" screamers - revenue of this venture so far: about -20.000eur + 4 Months of Work. Not that those people will believe any of my words.

Yay. I didn't consider the refund route since I knew the risks going in and my inability to get chips to you had nothing to do with your product or services. It'll be fun once I finally do get my miner.

I get about 48 hours before mine crashes. Running cgminer 3.4.2
My test-stack of 16 boards has now an uptime of ~2 Weeks without cgminer restart. But i am using a rather old version of cgminer. btw: news in the B'Fury thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283992Shipping of Batch 2 is under way, i am too busy to put in tracking numbers (will add them later). Under way now for over a week?... I made the mistake of paying for my 35 board batch2 order immediately I heard batch1 chips had shipped, and paid for express shipping (all at an unlucky exchange rate!) Has anyone received any tracking info or even boards from zefir batch2?

Hopefully you can recover some of your losses through the Bitfury boards, but then all of us lost on this deal thanks to Yifu - I would not want to have his kharma - he will get his - sooner or later.

I have an exclusive agreement with cryptx until mid October.
Can you then please get back to shipping yourself, but with a minimum of 25 boards to have less customers. People with lower orders can form a group. I really liked doing business with you, and refuse to do business with greed. To any of the "he gets rich" screamers - revenue of this venture so far: about -20.000eur + 4 Months of Work. Damn, that sucks. You should check your emails and verify that you processed all of them that includes "i want to pay". I still owe you shipment cost, you never specified to me how much I need to pay and I do want to pay it.

Not that those people will believe any of my words. Seriously? You have not been able to produce the boards in about two weeks or what? 20.000 / 400 boards = 50 euro / board compensation. I would have paid this because your work was a venture for all of us / in the name of us. I chose to hold my order and get my boards and you promised to produce them last and send them this week. I am not satisfied with your post today, as today is the last day of the week and I shifted some dates all the way this week in order to be available when the boards arrive. But hey, the profit of these boards was killed by Yifu, the first 50% of ROI has been killed by him, too. So why should not some german kill the last 50% of ROI.

Very sorry to hear this burnin, but you could've sold in-stock bitfury boards (aka no more problems like bitburner boards) and make up for those money instead of letting cryptx to get a piece of your money(many people stated that they were ready to buy 10+ boards with a reasonable price). I will make my donation sometime in the next month for the awesome BitBurner boards.

burnin, could you please confirm that you received my message about change of chip BTC address? I sent both through contact form and forum. I'm afraid that my order will get lost because of this.

Read again. He said -€20.000. Yes he did. And I said I would be fine with paying 50 euro more per board than he called in order to compensate his loss because of his excellent work.

Burnin got the info from his assembler that it will go faster. He cant change it when the assembler decides that he has to do maintenance now, so that fewer machine-time is ready for burnin. The 20000€ are the loss till now. I see that it doesnt make much sense to now get a second assembler for a couple of boards since that only leads to even more loss. Once a placement machine is set up and runs its not so expensive, the more expensive part seems to be setting it up for a board design. So in light of people being loud to get 100% refund, and 50% already is a harder beat than he though (read... revenue from bitfury goes into bitburner refund), i did not await that he will collect the next thousands of debt. As far as i understand burnin did get the info from the assembler he depended on and now the assembler is doing maintenance without informing burnin before. So the placement machines are available not often. I dont see a solution there. He only can wait until its done. Getting a place in another assembler company would mean waiting another 2 weeks only to get the place. It will be faster with the current assembler. At least that is my interpretation.
Saying that... i hope my miners are coming soon...
@burnin... i dont think losing the shipping contractor was the best move. Shipping and packaging is most probably way more work than you think now and you will most likely pay more for shipping than they would do. The savings compared to the work and cost you will have will not be in good relation i think. On top its work you need the time for, means your bitfury works should stay in the way of shipping. At least until bitfury isnt ended.
