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

[buzzdave]

Greetings miners,
I'm excited to announce that we have now opened a site for US/North American sales of Bitfury ASIC Chips and mining rigs developed for 100TH.  If you find that your country is not represented on either of our sites, please send me email.  We'll get you covered.

You can shop here: https://www.megabigpower.com/shop

Payment methods are credit card and wire transfer at this point.  I expect to have BitPay working this week.  Shipping will be free until otherwise noted.

We are offering the same products as Niko over on http://www.bitfurystrikesback.com: chips on cut-tape, full reels and devices identical to the 100TH mine boards that c-scape and intron designed.  I am also offering hosting beginning in November.  With 100TH deployment coming soon, I can't offer hosting sooner at this point, sorry.

Specifications can be found on the site. All orders are refundable 100% in USD nominated price until shipped.  My prices will be kept in line with those on the European site.

I want to acknowledge the incredible 7-days a week effort I've personally witnessed over the past few months from this team.  Without the dedication and commitment shown by these guys every single day, I don't see how this project could have been pulled off.  Of course, major props to Bitfury who achieved the unthinkable with is 'first-time-right' ASIC design.  I also want to thank Tytus, Bitfury and Punin for the opportunity to handle the sales on this side of the world.

For those of you who have worked with me in the past you know I will work very hard to handle all your questions, organize your shipping queue fairly and most of all protect your investment.  I am already assembling a team to manage the store and do order fulfillment, so you will be well taken care of.

I'm grateful to be of service to the community again, bringing the absolute latest and best ASIC tech to you guys in a form that lets you build mining rigs, experiment, or even invent totally new applications for these chips.  Exciting times!

Best,
Dave Carlson

[EDIT]  Shipping will be provided via standard carriers with tracking numbers so you can be sure to be home.  
[Edited link to https]

[EDIT] Sorry but local pickup will not be supported.  I don't (and I won't) stock chips, boards components, BTC or USD at my office, home or the datacenter.  Product will be warehoused in secure offsite locations.  This is the best way to protect your equipment and the personal security, privacy and safety of me and my family and employees.  However an expedited shipping option will be made available soon as an add-on to your existing order(s).

Here are pics for those who haven't seen anything yet.




H-Board - 25Gh/s




Chip Art - can you guess what this represents?


FLIR photo - under full load, not bad at all.  Actually the regulator runs hotter than the ASICs.

And this is where I wish I had some extra money... nice job!

[Morblias]

watching. Long time no see Dave!

buzzdave, do you know by August delivery, is it early August or end of August and how confident you are the bitfury team can deliver by this time?

Also the hosting option listed on your website looks interesting but it says "starting November", does it mean it is not possible to host bitfury miner in August?

Thanks

[Xian01]

Will be watching this thread. As soon as it looks like product is imminent, I'll pounce on making a order. Good luck !

interesting,what happens if the deadlines are not met? Such as make a purchase for August delivery and is delivered in October. Is the customer refunded funds or tough luck..
Also, as for August and October delivery dates. Is there a set  date, the first of a month or the end of the month etc.
well just a couple questions I had and hopefully helps others as well.
Regards

Nice! Anxiously waiting for bitpay

Once you have them in hand to sell, the 25Gh/s kit looks like something i'll get. I'm not sure that i understood though, once you buy the kit can you add extra boards or do you need to buy the full kit for each board?

I think you need to buy master board too to get 25Gh/s kit work.

[Alpha|FWZ]

Description says master board included in the kit.

[crazyates]

What happens if BitFury doesn't meet his power estimates?

[tom99]

yes, you were right and I was thinking about DIY not come with master board.

[Alpha|FWZ]

I do wonder if the setup instructions, provide cooling info. No mention of fans in the description.

August delivery means by August 31st.  This isn't an exact science, so I'm trying to give realistic dates.  I hope to exceed expectations on that.  I'm 100% confident in this team and the product.  There's been so much development in the last 6 - 9 months that has been kept totally under wraps.  By sending our chips out into the forum community we've got independent verification that they work - Intron and C-scape were able to tweak their Avalon design and already have Bitfury's chip hashing.

Here's the thread for that development effort: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228677.0.

I have deployment for the 100TH mine (https://picostocks.com/stocks/view/19) from late July into August.  I have to reserve time & energy for that project.  I want to keep expectations realistic and not overpromise on the hosting side.  Its no mean feat to host 5,000 of these H-boards.

Rushed it, sorry.  I'll get that updated

[buzzdave]

What happens if BitFury doesn't meet his power estimates?

He did.  We have about .8w/Gh/s.  Our H-board is about 15w, 25Gh/s.

Yes, a starter kit comes with the M-board (power backplane, level shifting, controller interface).  It also comes with a preloaded rPi controller, and PSU adapter cable!

Quoted to preserve refund policy. No changing refund policy after receiving orders (like other less reputable companies are doing).

We undervolted the boards for heat & power considerations.  No heatsinks are necessary, though we do expect supplemental fan cooling to be necessary - they put off about 250 - 300w fully loaded, so yeah you need to blow air on them.  We didn't see the need for extensive heatsinks and individual fans that just add cost, maintenance and noise.
