got a response from yvonne confirming that there was some delays, and my H-board from order #13X should ship tomorrow. She also confirmed that my 2.25BTC of store credit would be applied soon.

personally, i'm crossing my fingers that they will soon open sales for 2.25BTC H-boards. It would be great payback for the delayed orders and fit well with recent prices (2.2BTC for the 60gh avalon mini)

We are down to a single document in order to bring cc processing back - the risk manager of Stripe owes us a letter stating the reason for shutting our account.  The reason they gave to me was the same as everyone else - Bitcoin businesses are considered too risky.  All she has to do is simply explain this simple fact and make it clear that I didn't blow the account or commit fraud, and we are done.

Instead we get promises but no letter.

BTW we got the same letter from Dwolla - so I'll be removing the Dwolla payment option from the site.

Don't expect banks to love Bitcoin...

Dave - are there any plans on updating the bare chip prices? (I noticed the 1-chip option has a much lowered price on the EU site)

Also - any plans for November chips pricing?

Any look into building a water cooling system for this. As I understand there are no heat sinks on the board.

What is the spacing between the boards? Is there enough room for a custom water cooling solution?

Is that October delivery 400GH kit still accurate? If ordered today, when would it be delivered?

Probably next week since the new M-board will arrive this week. Calculate carefully since those monster 40% is gonna hit in a few hours

almost certainly not. unless you have a case for it, the boards likely could not support the bulk size and weight plus hoses assosiated with watercooling, and the cost to implement water cooling for each 25-40GH board would be insane compared to the similar benefits attainable via heatsinks.

It would cost roughly $75-150 to put heatsinks on every board in a 400GH kit, and clock it up to >525
for water-cooling, you would see costs of around $200-500 assuming it even fit and was available, and you probably would only get 10-20% better results than the heatsinks.

No, probably early Nov. Dave said something about cutting short the available quantity because he was uncertain about being able to get much more out by the end of Oct. So we should assume that the last orders will ship out Oct 31.

I ended up getting a Spotswood case before I cancelled my bitfury miner order, would anyone be interested in purchasing it from me? I haven't opened it, still in its original packaging.

Yes - I just lowered the price on individual chips to match the EU price - $25/chip.  

I might have some reels for November, but I don't know what the price would be yet.

ok, makes sense. Has anyone tried using just heatsinks then? Is there some off-the-shelf heatsinks that would work or is it better to go with something custom made. I can get custom made metal parts made pretty cheaply so that is an option if necessary.

   I got this one on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/100x140x12-7mm-Aluminum-Heatsink-for-Electronic-Computer-Electric-equipment-H157-/181110341808?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CA:3160


PS:  I will try it when I am going to get my V1 Hboards.

That is big, does it cover the whole board?

  yes, cover the whole board and 140mm a little long but no problem with it.
