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

[dben428]

Maciej and Tytus teamed up last night and fully checked out the latest H-boards.  They work fine, so production resumes!

We are asking (demanding actually) daily, expedited shipping of whatever gets produced.  Last time they "overnighted" something to Tytus it took 5 days for him to receive it.  They can make about 500 boards a day. 

So I expect to start shipping them next week - it will be right up against the end of the month.  I'm sure a few will probably be going out first week September if I look at it realistically - but we will ship everything we have though!

Getting really excited now - I've waited a long time for this! (single tear)

Exciting news Dave! I'm sure you are as relieved as we are that everything is ready to go on time.

Great work all involved. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Boards not going from China to Tytus and then back to you, yes?

No way.  Boards direct to me from China

[-Redacted-]

I think we're all as excited as you are!   Thanks for all you are doing!

[salfter]

If one were to add additional H boards - does this alter their place in the queue?  Thanks.

No, your original position is never affected by later ordering.  If we (ever) have enough quantity on hand to fulfill all the orders in the delivery month, we will combine shipping wherever possible.

Cool.  I'll most likely have another order in by the end of the week...possibly in the next day or two.

[Xian01]

Very exciting times indeed, Dave. Thank you so much for the updates !

[Trongersoll]

Once i have my starter kit in hand and mining, i'll be ordering more H boards. I need a bit of reality and less gambling. No slight meant on you Dave, just afraid of getting burned... again.

Dave, do you have a new CC processor in place?

[arorts]

I hate to be the elephant in the room, but any word on August shipments?

I know you guys said late August, but that is approaching quite soon.

As you can see, we've hit a setback unfortunately. Luckily we identified this in time (before all chips were soldered to non-working boards). It'll take ~2 days to produce the boards, but up to 5 days to ship them to europe, so I might be going to China to test them on location to save time. We might find someone locally to do this also, but if I go there I'll be able to take some pics for you. I sincerely apologize for this delay. We're working hard to keep the delay to minimum.

Update

I've added option for UPS Express Saver shipping, and dropped the prices a bit as further october orders will most likely ship in very late october. Those who picked first october orders are likely to receive theirs in very early october, if not september.

Regarding invoices: there was a problem on the site. I will need to send invoices manually. You will get an invoice, don't worry.

I need to sleep now. Shanghai awaits tomorrow. I should have more news for you in about 30 hours.

Thats the latest.

Hmmm...He probably meant adding that shipping option to the **European** site. I fail to find it in the US website.
Anyone knows how to set the shipping option in the US website??

[buzzdave]

Dave, do you have a new CC processor in place?

Nope.  I've been turned down by four processors.  Nobody wants our money

I'm working with a consultant that knows our business - she's working to position me for a merchant account that fits the business needs.  Sorry for the delay.

Expedited shipping is going up tomorrow.  I won't be able to accept CC for this, so get your BTC or Dwolla ready to go.

Watching..

I've emailed requesting that some of my orders be converted from CC to Bitcoin payment - so I can get them paid for - but haven't heard anything back.  Kat really busy?

What PSU is everyone going to use?

I've got a corsair CX500 ready to run my rig.

What PSU is everyone going to use?

I bought this about a year ago and it's been sitting around collecting dust since. I originally planned on using it for my BFL ASICs (60 watts per 60gh/s my ass...), but had to buy some 1300 watt ones for them. So my Bitfury will be powered from http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152042

Not the greatest PSU, but oh well it will work. I usually buy gold ones now (platinum is too expensive IMO)

Should be able to handle 2 400Gh units

I think it would be better to power each 400GH unit from a separate PSU.  You can remotely power cycle (if needed) each one separately.

I'll be getting two smaller PSUs for two M-cards.

Something like

The newegg reviews on the CX600 are a little scary.  A number of them reporting failed units

Dave,
What will the configuration options be for the rPI mining software?  Will it be remotely configurable using a web page or will we need to log into the rPI directly?

[Mobius]

I'll be using a AX860 on each, the reason for the over capacity is redundancy, if a PSU goes down, I can quickly plug in the other board into the working PSU and continue mining while I resolve the issue of replacement - time down is money. Additionally, at < 500 watts the fan on the PSU will not activate - making for a quieter installation.

Going cheap or lower power is not good practice. You have already spent quite a bit of money for the boards/shipping. Spend the extra for quality.
