I'm going to go pm him. Thanks for keeping us up to date on the boards.
Hey, Yes all the thumbs went out last week and should be with you real soon. We have had word of them touching down in NZ and the UK so they're definitely out there. Has anyone in the U.S. received thumbs yet? Techman, i will chase yours tomorrow and see what its status is. As for the boards, both packages mark as having left china see we're on our way. I have been furiously filling out shipping forms so we are ready to roll as soon as they arrive. My room is filled with boxes and bubblewrap . I know Bobsag is also poised and ready on his end. The second these bad boys hit our shores they will be turned around to you guys. Anyone who is about to go away and concerned about packages arriving on time, hit me up and we can sort out a short term hosting thing until you're back. As for Batch 3, it's up in the air at the moment but i'm hoping we can do something, maybe even before Christmas. If you are interested, i have set up this form for expressions of interest. I know how much you guys all love my forms. Jump on there and let me know hoe many boards you might be up for. http://formsmarts.com/form/1cecCheers Barntech Just a big WOW Barntech, This feels great to be so close to my first real miner. And the difficulty might be slowing down it looks like (Knock on wood). A big congrats and good luck, IAS

Thanks, Vert. Its on the form. Barntech is looking for 350. I got some iffy stock I might kill if I could get 2 more boards in batch 3. I'd just like to make sure we're on firmware 2.0 before these hit. Are we assuming same chips and board setup with 350 including right heatsinks we missed out with batch 1 and 2?

Anchorage, AK, United States 11/26/2013 12:48 P.M. Arrival Scan Do you have your own ship cube? I've never had anything from China come via Alaska. Maybe they're trying to take the lake down to Missouri with all the storms churning up from Texas.

I've ordered things from China before w/ UPS they tend to go to AK first before they actually get to the continental US.

Same here... Most shipments I've gotten for Apple products from Shenzen China have come through Anchorage Alaska before they hit the East Coast US.

I have the same basic questions: - Are we talking about the same 8-chip drillbit design from the Batch 1 and 2 buys? so same specs, works in the same miniplane, etc.? - What are you estimating for delivery for this batch? You mention before Christmas, which is pretty tight, especially given holiday shipping, but if you can actually pull that off - I'd probably be down for another 1 or 2.

Yes we plan to do more thumbs and boards but finding chips is proving to be a challenge. I have a few leads but nothing coming through just yet. If anyone knows of any chips floating around, send me a PM. Barntech

My Drillbit Thumb has been running for some days now. I have to say in comparison to my Bluefury it runs cooler, faster and with less errors even with it overclocked just under 3Gh/s
I do hope you get the opportunity to produce more and indeed than you find a way to accept paypal again.
Good product Barntech

Well for me its still going to be challenge.
I think before the boards arrive here another diff jump has appeared, because that will happen around 30/11
I estimated 760 M but so far it looks like its going to be a little less
So it will all depend on how much i need to pay to customs when it arrives.
Depending on how much that will be i can make a roi calculation.
And need to know how fast they can run without too much errors.
