I hand it to Dave a BitFury for getting the August orders out the door when promised (most all). But since then
communication, follow up and product competitiveness have all fallen badly. This despite the fact he has 2 office people.
At this point it appears the GB's for the USB miners and the Drillbit System group have the upper hand in customer service and likely ship dates for those that want a more reasonable price and need to order now or have ordered in the past month or so.
I would love to pick up some H-Cards (at a reasonable price) to fill my V1.0 M board. But it sure does not look likely.

Received 4 H boards today. The H board have reduced no of decoupling caps and the value of Resistor in the divider is changed.

In English? FCUK? changed for the good or bad? can you overclock them? and how well if so? |

If it is the same as on EU version, the resistor is now 1.800, I was able to get it down to 1.720 (pencil mod). It took my full kit from 420 to 530 GHS. Some stable issues arise after few days, but putting heat sinks on back of regulators helped. |

I start getting loads of errors and vastly reduced hash rates with 4 or more H cards plugged in. |

I haven't seen a single poster claiming their order has shipped today.
Am I missing something?
My 3 H-boards are arriving today.  |

the price right now is the same its been since august, because it would be entirely wrong and unethical to change the price for the october batch before all preorders are filled. once all the october kits and cards are shipped, i expect/hope we will see a drop to <2.5BTC/h-board with immediate availability. This would mesh well with the promise of 2.25BTC store credit on the delayed august stuff |

So it's prob smart to cancel Oct pre-order now and wait for November immediately available order?

Possible USB-Stick miners available in Nov, IIRC. |

I dont think Dave will have anything for Nov. That's my concern. its all up in the air. my method is to add boards from each batch if the price is right. (The october batch is profitable IMO - i got it when it was $450 by creditcard, and if it overclocks to 40GH like my first card then i anticipate it producing >3.5BTC) |

Orders #20x and #35x have not shipped yet. Though there is still time to ship today. I also have an order # in the 350s (plus the low 700s)...nothing yet on either. |

Hi all - I've been in contact with the factory early this morning. They are making 1000's of boards and shipping in earnest next week. We will be *very* busy building, testing and shipping rigs to you. Please don't knock me for not camping on the forum thread for the next two weeks. I'll do my best.
Don't expect half-price H-boards or rigs to appear on the store any time soon. Tytus and I are not believers in the endless-doubling of difficulty theory promoted by sites like TGB. We'll mine our own equipment before we fire sale hardware.
I am making USB miners, which should show up before the end of the month.
Regards,
Dave
