[ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe

[spiccioli]

Order 220 just received. The august delivery promise was kept, but it was a close call. Got a starter kit with two H-boards, which greatly overdelivers the promised hashrate. The unit is hashing at around 40GH/s (+-3GH/s). Setup was really easy with the simple web interface, I just input my pools there and restarted the miner.

I'd like to invite everyone who is going to receive a unit to use a small pool and/or p2pool if the miner inside the unit can work with it.

There are several small pools, pools with less than 50 TH/s of capacity, which should/need to grow to be able to balance the one or two mega-pools available.

This is for the health of the bitcoin network, most of all, and given that BitFury is delivering several TH/s of hashing power this is a good moment for this call to arms

I'm not sure if it small enough, but I intend to plug my Bitfury into Slush's pool.

Our van has been loaded, still waiting for labels to be processed by UPS. You should all get email with tracking number to the email provided when ordering. We're still on track to get it shipped today!

Thumbs up for the effort!

About the October deliveries - do you expect the Gh/s issue per H-Board to be solved by then? I have bunch of people with only H-Boards ordered, that would use my spare slots in the Starter Kit. If they receive more cards than they order, there would be nowhere to put the excess Boards...

Great job punin!!

My order #35x went to "completed".
Waiting for tracking number.

punin when you start sell chip in your shop ?
The current price for sample is not acceptable.

If anyone is looking for a good small startup pool for BTC try give-me-coins.com
This has been started by Serraz  who also runs one of the biggest LTC and FTC  pools and is part of their new multi pool site.

Also got my tracking numbers.

I drove to get my starter kit today, short update after 1h of running:

I got two h-boards for a total of 46-47Ghs. It's pulling 50-52w off the wall. Setup was a cakewalk when compared to my fpga experience.

Scheduled Delivery: 10-September-2013

Sweet Jesus, are they delivering it on an oxcart or what? 

[punin]

Most of the shipment left the building, and should be on it's way to you by airplane later tonight.

I will be contacting those of you who might have gotten a shipment notice, but no shipment was actually sent out. This is because the automated CSV export exported also those orders that were combined. I think we got 99% shipped correctly, and I will communicate with those of you who might have confusing orders. Some few orders will ship on monday.

I want to thank you all for your support and patience as we practice serving you. We've learned a lot in this process, and hopefully future shipments will be less painful

We're now going to celebrate with my team here a bit.. been amazingly busy week.

Cheers!

Expected delivery 05.09.
Few days late but ~40 GH/s instead of 25. Well, that's just awesome.

[arorts]

Thank you and your team, Punin. Fantastic job!!

BTW, does anyone recommend a good, reliable p2ppool? I heard some miners don't perform well on them due to latency issues.

[mikef]

I received today order #221 which was for a 25GH Starter Kit. Like others, I got 2 boards, and they're happily mining at about 40 GHash/s total. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank punin for the awesome job!

punin, just awesome job and thanks to all your team.

mikef: you may want to put the second H-Board into Bus B, slot one. It will cool itself better and it may even have positive impact on hashing speed, if I understand correctly.
