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

[klondike_bar]

so the 200TH mine is now close to 250TH, and punin is talking about the next batch already - where is the updates from dave and the MBP team?

I have 2.25BTC in store credit that ive heard nothing about, other than that it *presumably* exists as a result of the hosting of the august starter kit. I would like to use it for some more H-boards but theres been no updates...

ps: am i the only one who would feel a little bitter if the H-boards went back into stock for more than $500? I know that the BTC price is up, but the production cost should be down, and weve been left in the cold for several big difficulty jumps...

It doesn't surprise me.  They are running a business and people are obviously willing to pay in order to chase the bubble created by the US hegemony talking of sowing it's oats and settling down on the topic.

Personally, I am banking on my own guesstimate that the price will settle down above $600.  But, that is just my amateur opinion.  I would hope that when the Jan 2014 batches come up, the various hardware sellers reflect this rather than the excitement fueled bubble.  And, also that this bubble will likely spawn a bunch of panic pre-orders for hardware which will spike difficulty when they get filled.  But, we'll see.

i'm thinking that the bitcoin value is gonna crash down under $100, at least for a few days. But i have no idea why the demand is so great right now, so what do i know.

It took 8 days. Not to bad at all.

 Expecting delivery tomorrow. About a week. Good stuff. Looking forward to throwing more money at Dave when (if?) the next batch of stuff is ready.

Would love to be able to buy some more V1.2 H-boards, hope your project works. Out of stock is getting old...

How about some kind of M-board, while you are at it?

Dave -

I'm waiting on one of my October H boards (for v1 m board) from order #111. I don't like bringing support issues into the forum but I haven't been able to get this resolved after four weeks of emails and PMs -- Yvonne confirmed that the board didn't ship, and she meant to take care of it several times, but it somehow keeps slipping through the cracks. The rest of the boards miss their relative after arriving a month before it!

Overall my customer experience with megabigpower has been very positive, but it would be great to get this taken care of so I can clear it from my queue.


Thanks,

E

I wonder why a refund takes 6+ weeks and an RMA takes less than a week.

Here's the V3 image, sorry for the delay.  Please *only* download this if you have the new overclocked V3 boards.  It will make previous boards run slower (clock reduced due to higher voltage).

This is not a new, improved version - its just what we shipped already, in case you get a bad SD card or your SD card corrupts.

This new image has a Shutdown button - use it rather than just pulling the plug on the power and your SD cards will do much better!

Cheers,
Dave

Wishing you all the best with your rigs and enjoy the high BTC prices!

Hi all - I'm hearing about some troubles people are having with overloaded power connectors.  Since the latest cards shipped were running a higher voltage, the rigs take quite a lot of wattage - extra caution should be taken if you are running a full 16 card rig.  I recommend upgrading to a 1200w power supply as soon as possible.  Do not locate your rig on the floor, or near anything flammable.  As always with mining rigs, check your power cables, connectors and supplies often for signs of overheating and failure.

Please be safe!

We are making changes for future boards that will either run them at lower voltage or provide additional power connections.

Cheers
Dave


[EDIT]  I'm told these users may have powered their rigs using the 1 to 2 plug on a single PCIe cable.  This is a common mistake I've been warning about.  Please note - you *must* use two separate power cables from the PSU to each of the 6-pin power plugs on the M-board.

I tried it with my old v1 M board. Works fine, but I think the chainminer is based on the older version, with some changes like automatic detection of v1 M board. There's a shutdown button on the web interface. miner.h was also changed to default speed 52.
