I wonder how he maintains that farm. Knowing bitfury rigs to be flaky I wonder if he's got some guy whose sole job is to toy around with the best.cnf file or to reboot and/or start/stop miners like a madman. It was odd to see all of the miners laying on their sides. Maybe that will help the dreaded card wobble due to the fans I have on them. That will indeed increase stability of the H-CARDs. Sticking packing foam peanuts between the cards also helps a lot:) Packing peanuts? The heat insulation ack. Or do you mean just along the top? I managed to get a full rig recognized and stably hashing on bfgminer with the V1 Mboard that has all chips in 1 long spi chain ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Like so: https://i.imgur.com/XbdZjyM.jpgWhat is that sexy device pictured? Looks like a shortened Mboard had a baby with you shash Exactly right:) It's an 8 slot M-board with Ethernet. Me want

When is bitfury (particularly MBP) going to start selling to customers again? I find it disgusting that my September starter kit STILL is not filled entirely because the prices have been 2-4x more then reasonable for the last 3 months or more. Its a great machine and I would be happy to replace every single antminer with them if they were just priced properly and/or chips were sold at a reasonable price ($15 for a 2.5GH chip? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) ??)

I don't think they will. Dave is busy with the massive farm. If he does offer any for sale, they will still be overpriced.

It almost makes me sick that my preorders basically funded his own farm, rather than an ongoing business relationship. The only saving grace is that my unit is in the green already

I wonder if they will make the transition to gen2 gear and sell off the current farm? I Imagine the savings on electricity costs would be considerable with that amount of hardware.

Agreed, or um greed.... the community funded this company with preorders, we helped them make so much money and funded their personal farm. We are no longer needed for them to remain profitable, they can mine themselves, and fund future chips from the current farm and keep all the profits.....

Let's be real...bitfury was not community funded. They had private investors...true they had preorders but that was after the fact. Fwiw, I have not recouped hundreds of btc on my early preorder but that's the risk I took. I gambled that they would deliver early (which Europe did) but the factory f-up screwed us big time.

This is a bit shocking but if Bitfury wanted to be competitive in the current market, H boards would need to be about $80 each, lol. I don't see that happening ever, unfortunately.
