I'll gladly send back an extra M-board and RasPi in exchange for, say, an H-board?

Gee, you're not asking for much!  Lol.

[tom99]

you can sell your Mboard for price of Hboard and someone out there willing to buy it for good price but dont ask for 800usd.

[-Redacted-]

Well, if you look at the prices, the RasPi, m-board and h-board starter kit is $1300.  The h-board is $500, that makes the m-board and RasPi worth $800, doesn't it?  So wouldn't that  be a fair trade for an H-board ?

If Dave would just say that there would be some "consideration" for doing it, I'd gladly FedEx him my spare M-board and RasPi so someone else could get their starter.

my guess is that by the time you got your single board to him, he would have (or almost have) a whole box of v2 m-boards. ebay it and you may get >1000$ lol

You're 100% correct if you look at it that way.  To me, an extra M board just really doesn't have any value because I don't really have a need for two, at least now.  I guess if I eventually decide to get more than 16 H boards, it will come in handy.  But in my case, the design will probably have changed by then.

But yeah, count me in for a trade-in for an H board!  If that were to ever happen. 

[goxed]

I know quite a few people who bought multiple starter kits and have extra M boards sitting unused.  We should have a send-back option for buyers with extra M boards.  We could ship them back to Dave and he could send them back out with H boards for the unshipped August Starter kits.

I'll have an extra M board coming from an Ebay auction I just won.  I'd be happy to send it back to Dave so someone else could get their Starter kit.

Community!

I am trying to sell mine here, no takers though

Dave - we see new (September) chips pricing announced on the EU web site. Is a similar change coming to the US site as well?

Or are the new chips only going to be available via the EU one? Also, the EU lists pricing for reels only - the old 10chips option was a nice one for small orders. Is something like that going to be available again? (or something in vicinity of 100 chips eventually)

How about October pricing?

October reels just landed on the site - $30/chip.  I'll work up a few options for 10 & 100 chip sample packs.  For now, I have sample chips available for shipping immediately, $127/chip.

AFAIK, the pricing is same as what Niko has up for September.  *If* I ship reels in September they will go to the earlier buyers of October reels.  This could mean that my new October reels are "early" October, but I haven't yet confirmed when the first reels are coming (late Sept./early Oct).

As soon as I know, I'll post something.

For the people who didn't get there August starter kit? when will the btc be distributed to us? thnks

After your order is shipped.

@Dave : Any updates on the shipping status of August Starter kits. It has been almost a week since you informed us that there is a shortage of M-Boards.
Have you received the M-boards yet. If not, can we expect something next week atleast.?

It is almost mid September.

Please update the status of the outstanding orders at the earliest.

First, there were only 36 starter kits pending shipping, not 54 as I previously stated (we hadn't updated the totals board since previous day's shipping).  The hashpower you see on the MBPStarters account at BTCG will be for you guys.  I have V2 M-boards coming in next week and the following.  I'll be able to ship out the remaining starters by end of next week.

For those of you who want to replace your V1 M-boards, we'll have to set this up for a time when I've got plenty of spare M's.  I don't want you to have to ship first and be down while you wait for replacements.  You are welcome to just stay with the existing V1 M- the V2 doesn't offer a performance benefit.

The only problem with the V1 is, we can't run the updates to Chainminer.  A number of new/soon to be added features are being mentioned.

Anything worthwhile would also be compiled for V1 boards, as I run a lot of them too.

Thanks again for the update Dave. Looking forward to delivery of my August order.

Hey Dave,  will there be a big delay on Octobers delivery due to the current issues.

Thank you very much for the update dave. Appreciate it.
Will look forward to the update once you receive the v2.0 M-Boards next week.

This was my mistake- They are still hashing, they just got pointed to the wrong place(I was fixing a different issue and it picked up those too).  As mentioned in this post, we'll sort the issue out in all of the delayed customers' orders to your benefit:

Thanks for clarifying that JaredR26. But Dave's message below states otherwise.
Highlighted below. We just want to make sure that we don't loose out on the earnings.

One way or another, you will not lose earnings from this.  We are not BFL or Avalon.  I will follow up on this when possible.
