I'm also in the boat of wanting to pay shipping costs via PayPal. I don't have any BTC yet -- that's kind of the point of buying this miner! :-)
I've yet to find anywhere I feel comfortable registering my fiat details to exchange fiat for BTC, or those sites that look reasonable to me have weeks long processes for your first exchange, or they charge some very high fees when all I need is less than 1 BTC to pay for shipping.
I'm disappointed to hear you're thinking of making us pay in BTC for shipping when we were able to pay for the hardware via PayPal!

If you are in Europe, I can recommend www.bitcoin.de.

If you are in Europe, I can recommend www.bitcoin.de. Not if you are American! They won't let me trade their now. Also, it takes a few days for the bank transfer to clear. And the prices there are high, near Gox and with lower volume. Nice place though, just not right for quick turnarounds and cheaper coins. Maybe once they have their bank (Fidor) all ready, things will change. I still like Stamp better, much better. IAS

Localbitcoins.com is excellent and its where I have bought my btc in the past, online via escrow no issues (make sure you trade with someone who has a good rep though)

Hey davmp. Not making you pay BTC for shipping, just saying it would be much better for us if you could. Paypal is still totally fine for all batch one stuff. Basically i'm just trying to encourage as many people as possible to pay with BTC if they can, but if you can't or its too difficult or expensive to, paypal is fine, no problem. For those of you who can pay in BTC for shipping please feel free to begin sending through payments (some of you already have. thanks) All those who want paypal, i'll get something sorted for paypal shipping payments soon.

Barntech For group 1 do we pay for shipping once devices are ready to ship out?

Dunno, people keep talking about shipping but I can't find anything about it in the OP. This is mighty confusing.

Barntech, The shipping graph is not yet completed for Europe. In my case for 4 Drillbit 8 boards (1200g) plus miniplane (150g) comes to 1350g. The Express shipping is 5 bucks more to Europe than USA/Canada. Would that mean $90 or so for shipping to Germany? (OR is the the same as the USA/Canadian costs? If so, just put in some "" ) Also, would be nice to have order# / queue numbers so we can tie shipping to our orders easily (and let us know where we stand in the queue. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi42.tinypic.com%2F2rc1zcx.png&t=665&c=8ewoSV9Q3hYKsw) Thanks, IAS erk - I couldn't either, but it is now on the website here - http://drillbitsystem.com/order.html

Hey guys.
Yeah sorry, the shipping table is a work in progress. I got half way through and then had to run off and do other stuff. I'll get that finished asap. Also, i'll get the order queue up too. I've got it, just need to write it out for you guys. Give me a day or too on both these fronts and i'll have it all sorted. Sorry, things are pretty hectic these days.

Just used my BFL refund (more like Paypal forced refund) to get in on GroupBuy2 with some boards and pay for shipping via BTC on my GroupBuy1 order.
Hoping the transfer of bad BFL Karma to good Drillbit Karma works out (especially in appeasing the Overclock and Shipping Spirits).
So how's the firmware coming along? Any updates? Also in addition to CGMiner, is anyone talking to Luke to get the boards/thumbs working with BFGMiner?

Hey, Barntech,
do you have designed a case for you boards already? Can you share your designs (if any) to test them?
Cheers.

Why would you waste money on a case? ROI is hard enough as it is. An old shoebox or something.

Depending on the cooling requirements, one of those Coolermaster 4-in-3 bay devices might do the trick. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Wouldn't be hard to cut some cardboard to size either and get it just the right size for the 4-stack miniplane + whatever PSU you're using + cooling fan. I'll be using a desktop CPU+Mobo in a spare Antec Solo. Might even take the chance to make a decent home server while I'm at it, so that the rig is doing more than just hashing away. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Thanks for doing this. That definitely simplifies orders with a miniplane.

I've been trying to figure it out with all the post but couldn't. Is this product ready to ship or is it an late October item like a lot of them? Looks very promising for $460 getting 21 G/hash. Do we need the miniplane for one?
Thanks. Good day.
