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

[superduh]

let's not spend time trying to distort reality. instead focus on the future- regardless, October will likely not ROI either
btw, out of pure curiosity i wonder how many people knew about 200th from bitfury 's private pool coming online.

I knew and bought in for some shares - nothing big, just a small piece.   I'm really starting to think this might end up being the way that BTC mining goes in the near future...

actually now i'm fairly certain that ghash.io is NOT picostock mine.. so not sure in what you bought your shares in. since ghash was not offered to the public.

MegaBigPower   44,226.02 GH/s, almost 2 weeks they are struggling to get past 50TH/s. Hope they don't delay Oct shipping because they can't get to 200TH

Especially with Punin shipping next week.  Dave and Punin were fairly in sync for August deliveries.  So I hope they continue to do that for October as well.

Of course I wouldn't be saying that if I were a 200THs investor.

ghash.io is not the 100TH, it's a private pool.  I receive 100TH dividends on every block they find.  

@shade88 - where are you looking to decide that MegaBigPower is 44 TH and why do you think this is 100TH rather than Dave's personal pool ?

Hey Redacted, I think he's reading it here: https://www.btcguild.com//index.php?page=rankings&section=teams

I don't think this is Dave's personal pool, because of the team name MegaBigPower...?

[xstr8guy]

If I'm not mistaken, the 200THs project is not Dave's.  I think they are customers of MGP, perhaps they invested with Dave to get MGP off of the ground and give him some clout to be a part of the Bitfury team.

Conjecture on my part but I do recall reading that Dave is somehow separate from 200THs.

[-Redacted-]

Got it.  Dunno what that team is on BTCGuild, or if it's actually related to the 100TH in some way.  I guess Dave would have to answer that one, but I don't think the 100TH is mining under the name megabigpower - I really think it must be Dave's personal stuff...

Megabigpower on btcg IS the 100/200TH mine. Dave is in charge of deploying the mine...it is not his personal mine. Ghash.io is a private mine...not the 100/200Th mine.

It is a valid question to ask if October orders will be delayed to bring up the mine since the mine is pretty far behind schedule.

So this begs the question... Who are these people behind the 200THs Mine (and Ghash.io)?  Those are some DEEP pockets, lol.

os someone who got into bitcoin early.

Leszek, Maciek, and Dave i think. There was a whitepaper that I read sometime back.

There is proper thread on security section of the forum:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140366.0
It's been talked who is who few times at least.
Bussines plan of 100Th/200TH mine is also avaible:
https://picostocks.com/businessplan/19

ghash.io is Bitfury PRIVATE pool. You can't buy shares of this.

Ahh - thanks for the links - those clear up many questions...

Looks like they are slowly switching over to solo mining. They are around 70-75TH/s right now.

Yep - sorry for the radio silence.  First solo block mined and actively moving over to solo - internal hashrate 70-75TH.  We still have some failover processes that drop hashrate off to btcguild, but we will be systematically finishing this transition over the next couple days.

More optimizing, more hardware, more hashes all coming soon...

heh, just saw the hex on the mboard v2 and found that it's the coinbase for the genesis block. funny how i suggested (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=282289.msg3020448#msg3020448) that phrase for the kncminer slogan contest. would have been awkwardd

[superduh]

Ahh - thanks for the links - those clear up many questions...

so just to be clear about my frustrations earlier:
i dont think anyone but insiders knew about bitfury's private 200th+ pool (using these same/similar compotents as sold by megabigpower)
when people placed orders they didn't know that the 100th pool would be upgraded to 200th pool
when people placed orders they were told that October orders would be towards the end of october and that was the justification for such a significant price difference.
and since we've established bitcoin mining to be a zero-sum game you must understand why people can get frustrated when things go favorably for others.
given all the changes people should freely express that august orders were "overpriced" and honestly, it's about time for most to get out of this game for the time being. dave has handled his enterprise in one of the most professional manners in this environment. even then it seems to be just not worth it.

To Canada?  They have to mark them as "prototype sample PCB" or usually you'll have to pay fees

[mo_mo]

oh too bad they couldn't mark it "prototype sample PCB"

They are marked as motherboards and taxed at 100%. I paid $110 on mine as well.
