[ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales NEW STOCK ***NOW SHIPPING***

[Xian01]

Or extremely generous depending where you're sitting investment-wise.

I'm interested in hearing your perspective how something that sold for $500, now selling for $999, is generous.

I was simply saying that Dave isn't greedy.  The new price of H-cards is absurd given the current USD/BTC exchange rate.

 I hope you can appreciate that your response causes me some cognitive dissonance.

[superduh]

He don't care now he have his mine...

If this H-card don't sell, they go directly to the mine...

Greedy... 

This isn't hardware pre-ordered by customers. They don't owe it to anyone. They took the risk funding the production themselves. They're more than welcome to sell it at whatever price they feel like. Obviously the price is too high, or they would fly off the shelves. It's a good product. It's a shame it's not going to new homes. But hey, that's keeps the difficulty from skyrocketing, so that's fine by me.

they aren't following the common practice of you know... lowering the cost of equipment over time and being you know- trying to keep any customers at all including their loyal ones that gave them money and funding to begin with. kind of like you know every other asic mining company more or less. many thought dave would be different in some regards.

Of course.  I just really want to believe that the expensive card pricing was more than just Dave sitting down and deciding that $1000 looked like a good number. 

Maybe he did, maybe I'm delusional.

Dave and Punin had nothing to do with this pricing.  Tytus made that decision.  He's the boss.  Dave and Punin are resellers (and I assume, investors).

These two sentences in the same message are causing me to twitch.

Before I start to blather, I would like to thank Dave and the MBP team for having it together more than any other Vendor at the time I placed my order in August. They have always been responsive to me and shipped damn near exactly when they said they would.

After dealing with BFL, shipped within a month of stated date would be considered damn near exactly and MBP did allot better than that.

Now for my blather. As the time of this penning If I had to buy BTC right now to buy anything I can buy on Coinbase for $680 per BTC. I am using this because MBP priced in USD.

I have 12 empty slots on my V1 Mboard. I would like to get it filled, so about 12,000 dollars not including any price break. I am too lazy to look up the price break, I sure someone will apply it. 12000/680 = 17.65 BTC roughly, If I had to buy it. That would get me roughly 384-400 GH/s more.

For 16.8 BTC We can buy 4 antminers giving 800GH/s overclocked.

So for me it was a no-brainer to get the power hunger antminers.

I did not get 4 but 3 I almost went for another today but decided against it.

I would have much rather filled my V-1 mboard but......

100% agree. the prices should be in BTC, and should be at least reasonable. even at $749 in bulk for v1.2 boards, they were too expensive the day they were priced, and are twice as poorly priced now

Ok guys - I have approval to push out a bunch of gear to you at (I hope) some very fair prices!  We have full rigs on sale now!  

NOTE: in order to improve shipping & fulfillment time, we *ARE NOT* providing rPIs and SD cards.  This eliminates a big bottleneck we've been fighting from previous ship cycles.  You can order your rPI and configure your own SD card easier I think.

We are shipping FedEx, next day (1-2 day delivery) for all purchases of full rigs - no expedite necessary.  We know what you want, I hope this is a good gift for a little Christmas BTC!

All the Best & Happy Holidays
Dave

[EDIT] I'm trying to show Tytus how much I can sell at these prices by Jan 1, so lets see if he likes lots of sales versus very few!

[Trongersoll]

Order placed, used credit card. Once again, i got an email confirmation but it didn't show up in my order history.

There's a bug in the CC module - I'm trying to fix it up, but it does cause a delay in showing the CC orders.  They reconcile at the end of each day.

Sorry for the confusion!

It's a bad week to be buying hardware with bitcoin prices down 30%. On the other hand, it's a great time to buy bitcoins!

Yeah, would cost ~17.2 BTC for a full unit that will generate ~0.1691 BTC per day for next difficulty (Estimated Next Difficulty: 1,189,672,603 (+30.97%))

Yikes! With the way difficulty is going to go up these next few months with all the other companies shipping, this isn't worth it at all. If BTC price was still over $1,000 it would look a lot better.

 Thanks for putting up full rigs for re-order, Dave. Didn't realize Tytus was the price driver. Hopefully prices will become more sane after Jan.1st

[Doff]

Still no M-boards. 11000 for a Rig yikes.

Can you sell M-boards Dave?

yikes, the prices still are not that great! Single boards for $700, thats reasonable. but a full rig at 16x$700? There needs to be a bulk pricing, at least for the H-boards. 5/$3000 or 10 for $5500 would be more appealing, and even those prices are high considering BTC price at the moment

[allinvain]

lol I love how the 10 or more price is HIGHER than the single unit price..

[buzzdave]

***CC customers***

For multiple rig purchases, please run separate orders - we'll ship them all together.  Thanks in advance from my merchant account provider...

If you are going to take advantage of the 10 rig discount, just contact sales@megabigpower.com first - we'll get a store credit placed.

We are trying to keep under a $12k cap per credit card purchase.

Thanks again!
Dave

Guys, I am not saying I want to sell but just to get a feel for where you all are at. I have 1 v-1 mboard and 4 v1 h-cards. The partial rig does 130GH/s pretty solid. What do you think the miner to miner BTC value would be all together or in pieces. For the record this has been one set that has needed no extra attention and very little time to keep her chugging.

I am not trying to sell in this thread, I know where to do that. I am only trying to get a metric from the audience that has the most interest in these and that is you guys.

When I say miner to miner I mean me to you, not e-bay. What would it sell for in BTC? On another note, price it for what you would sell it for, not what you would want to steal it for

This is not an auction and no replies will be accepted as such.

Just Information for me and for Tytus.

M-board V1=?
H-card V1.2=?

No raspi, no power supply.

If this post is not acceptable here, Just send a pm and I will delete.

Best Regards

Hi all,
Europe shipping is feasible?

In my mind, 0.75BTC for an M-board and 0.65BTC per H-board is a price that enables the kit to come close to breakeven, and promotes buying more cards
