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

[AussieHash]

By October, we'll have worked out this issue.  We are playing with different R01F (input) resistors now to see how well that works. 

Can I confirm when in Oct you expect October kits to ship ?
ie: early orders - early October vs all orders at the end of Oct. etc

Shipping is "by end of" whatever month the product description says - and that's our best effort guess.  With production delays, component shortages and now even manufacturing variability we just can't nail it down much better.

One thing we do know for sure - bare chips will be early October.

Best news I've heard all day

Any idea when you'll have the new pricing?

Thank you

Cool, sounds good

Considering the good news, I'm rather surprised to see 160 hashing boards still available for October.  I thought there would be a run on the shop as soon as shipping day was confirmed.  Maybe I should go snap up a few more before it's too late.

did they ever work out the credit card issues?

No.  I've been buying Bitcoins and paying off my orders with BTC one at a time.  Six October H-board orders paid off in BTC (converted over from credit card) and six left to go.  I've been paying for my new orders in BTC...

Calculating it out and assuming that Birfury chips get out in a reasonable timeframe, between the European sales, the 200 TH/s mine with Dave, the private Bitfury pool (already >100 TH/s), and all the North American sales, unless another company brings something dramatic to the table (probably KnC) it's likely that by the beginning of November half the blocks on the network will be hashed with a Bitfury device

I've bought (and am continuing to buy) a bunch of the October h-boards, but I want to see what the bare chips cost.  In the hands of someone like Burnin, or maybe an s-hash c-scape type overclockable board, you might be able to get more ooomph out of buying chips and third party boards....

About to make the plunge into the ASIC market.  Lots of coin to spend.  Been slow to do it, due to all of the scams, preorders, delays, etc.

Without scanning the 75 pages this thread has turned into, can anyone provide a quick answer to the following questions?  (Yes, I'm sure the answer is in this thread somewhere, but it would not only benefit me, but others I'm sure to get these basic questions answered.)

I'm referring to the full 400Gh/s system. 

1) Can bitcoins be used as payment?
2) When will the unit ship, assuming an order date of today? (as closely estimated as possible)
3) Does this unit contain everything I need to immediately start mining?
4) What size PSU do I need to run it?
5) What cooling do I need to run it?
6) Using the ship date from question #2, what would be the estimated (although hard to predict, so just looking for a rough ballpark estimate) time for 100% ROI?

Anything else, that I'm missing would be helpful.

1) yes  See website.
2) Who knows???  By the end of October has been stated.
3) Yes read website
4) Read website.
5) UNK
6) Everyone situation is different.  Do your own math.  This calculator can help.  http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/

This is a plug n play "kit" - all components are mounted on the boards, no soldering required.  You will plug your H-board into the M-board, connect the preconfigured rPi unit, connect to a PSU and fire it up.  You should be mining in 10 minutes.

Features:

Modular design makes maintenance and upgrading easy
Easy to install into racks
Compatible with ATX PSU
Performance:

400GHash/s
Total power  draw max. 400W (Efficiency at wall depends on your PSU)
What’s included:

1 Master board
16 hashing boards with 16 Bitfury 55nm ASIC chips for total of 256 chips
Raspberry Pi Model B with SD card and software preinstalled
2 x Ring terminal to Molex-Jr adapter cable
Instructions for assembly and setup

6) Using the ship date from question #2, what would be the estimated (although hard to predict, so just looking for a rough ballpark estimate) time for 100% ROI?

Here's a direct link to the ROI analysis as computed by The Genesis Block... http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/f4a38b80d7

I personally don't think the difficulty increase will continue to be this aggressive after the next few months so ROI might be much better than is shown above.  Once we get into next year, it's going to be very difficult to double and triple the network speed because of the massive amount of ASICs that will be hashing by then.  To double the network speed would mean that for ASIC currently hashing, another will have to be added to the network.  IMO, that is not as likely to happen as The Genesis Block makes it appear.

Of course, it could be worse too.

It is a bit disheartening to see the bitcoin mining taken over by large ventures.  Not much room in the future for the hobbyist miner to make some coin.
This is worrying to have governments subsidizing or backing the bitcoin ventures.  

However, the spokesperson says that Massive Luck owns and controls all of that power, promising that the Chinese government won’t be able to begin manipulating the market with it.

^ Yeah Right.  That government has a history of taking what they want.

Has Dave confirmed that US August Starter kits will get 2 H boards shipped per order like the equivalent EU model to meet the minimum advertised spec?

yes, read his comments from today

No one ever said your order will be on you door on August 31st.

I am not a native english speaker, so maybe I have some misunderstanding what does "August delivery" mean. Could you please describe why "August shipment maybe if everything goes well" is equal to the "August delivery" I purchased?

In the bitcoin world, your translation is pretty spot on! 
Frankly delivering within a couple of days of the promised date is closer to 3 months early (compared to competitors -- AM doesn't count since their miners are for entertainment purposes only).

Dude seriously..? You are holding them at their throat for a delay for about 2 - 3 days..?
Are you new to bitcoin ASIC's arena..?
Products of other companies have been overdue for almost a year now.

Or are you unaware that just recently their manufacturer produced 2 layer H-boards as against the designed 4 layer H-Boards.
Still they found it out and got it right and reproduced. Atleast bitfury is starting to ship in Aug.

Be happy for that.!
