[CLOSED] Diversified Group Buy [KNC/BitFury/VMC/HashFast]

[hak8or]

I might jump in on this, though 5 BTC being the minimum makes me somewhat sad.

Anyways, are you going to make unpacking videos like what people do when they are one of the first to get a PS3 or Wii or whatever? I would love to see the packaging and whatnot which gets sent with these miners.

Are there any plans for buying hardware from AsicMiner? They are apparently releasing info out soon about their new blades, hence my curiosity.

Good to see some seemingly honest attempt at a group buy with diversified mining hardware risk, along with very through responses.

Are you considering putting this on BTCT or BitFunder to allow a larger investor pool resulting in even more diversification?

[roy7]

Are you open to new investors again since the purchase decision was made?

It looks like it's on hold till Sunday...

CH, see my post in our forums for my transaction, I believe I got it in before the hold was announced

I got you.  

NOTICE: Fund collection for this group buy is on hold until the current investors and I figure out a game plan in regards to which of the new companies to order from. The deposit address had been redacted from the OP while we figure out what we're going to do.

I vote grabbing a baby jet. ~200 left

Thanks for voting. It seems that HashFast's miner protection plan might of put them with enough votes for an order. The vote was tied 4-4 before that announcement, and now is at 7 Yes, 4 No. We have enough funds for a baby jet, and I said I'd order by votes, so...

If you are against or for ordering a babyjet miner from HashFast, please go vote in the polls on our forums. If we are indeed ordering from HashFast, we need to go ahead and get our place in line, so that is why I'm setting the deadline on Sunday. I will tally up the votes on the HashFast poll this Sunday to decide. Again, about half the group has still not voted, please go vote if you care one way or the other.

Wish I could get my refund for this other group by that has gone to trash.  Really interested in this and amazed by the professionalism and transparency of CoinHorder.

Anyway, putting some funds together to get in on this asap.

I am also prepared to put BTC 5 into this group. I gather we need to wait until Sunday tough?

Hi everyone. Another reason of freezing deposits from new investors was to give people that participated in the first group buy a chance to get in before capacity is reached. If you are/were a shareholder in the first group buy, the deposit address is still up there on our forums, feel free to send funds in. Please reply with you transfer ID on our forums and not this thread so there is no confusion.

I will let everyone know when deposits open back up.

Thanks

Actually, we are about $819.32 short of ordering two HashFasts. There are only about 150 left, so I want to make sure we will be able to order 2 on Sunday.

Therefore, I am opening back up deposits, payment address was added back to the OP.

I had over 100 investors in my original group buy. I made the 5 BTC limit for this group buy to limit the number of investors, otherwise there would be a lot of people sending in small amounts and it just adds to my workload. My apologies.

Anyways, are you going to make unpacking videos like what people do when they are one of the first to get a PS3 or Wii or whatever? I would love to see the packaging and whatnot which gets sent with these miners.

Possibly I will. I imagine the others will on the forums, but if no one has when I receive mine, then sure I will!

Are there any plans for buying hardware from AsicMiner? They are apparently releasing info out soon about their new blades, hence my curiosity.

They are incredibly overpriced IMO. It will be hard to make ROI with any ASICMINER consumer mining products.

I'm not going to rule this possibility out, but initially things will be done outside of exchanges. The old addage of "if you want something done right, do it yourself" applies here. When GLSBE went down, it cause mayn problems. I do not want this to happen to my investors and I, therefore I have been doing everything myself- from share transfers to dividend payments. The auction subforum is a good place to sell shares, or the marketplace too.

I know you are already planning on Eligius, but just wanted to suggest Bitparking as an option. It uses DGM so there's no risk of 'stale shares' like CPPSRB, it's also 0% fee, and they do merge mining which adds a few % to the income.

No way of investing a lower amount? Like 1BTC

Only current/former group buy participants can invest less than 5 BTC.

I'm trying to limit the people I have to deal with.. I had 90+ people in my first group buy, and honestly it is kind of a headache. So, I put a limit on it this time in hopes that it would limit the number of people in the group buy. My apologies, this likely will not change.

Ordering is back on hold, but deposits are still welcome.

The next unit purchased will likely be an xCrowd unit or Cointerra. Cointerra announced they'll release prices in 48 hours, xCrowd supposedly will do this on Monday. Please discuss these companies in the forums/vote in the polls.

Thanks.

That's a hellava lot of firepower!

You should just run some tubing through to the living room, you won't need to pay for any heating this winter!

So is this group buy still open to newcomers? I'd be interested to pitch in. Although I won't be able to transfer money until I get home later today.
