I know :-)) That's why I am hoping Burnin himself will do it again for larger orders (25 boards). |

Me too! I don't think I will ever buy any ASIC (sure not soon), but burnin's Bitfury was one of the most interesting. Untill the shocking prices from CryptX, of course!!!  |

I'd like to keep things a bit "local" as well for Burnin.
Support him and try to get him to get most of the money for his work and not resellers. (No offense resellers, but that is my feeling.)
Perhaps there is another way as there is something special about DIY's and BTC.
I don't want to lose that.
I don't have big pockets but would love, in the near future to buy a 500 Euro or so miner from Burnin. Would be nice to make a small profit but would be happy to break even. Nice hobby and supports the network.

Many people were ready to order lots of boards from burnin himself, not from resellers. Someone suggested that he could sell 10 boards minimum or 25 minimum so people can organize group buys. I think this is a good option for both burnin and customers. |

This is a good idea, releasing Burnin from burden of dealing directly with customers. If 25 minimum is too small he can raise it to 100, it will be no problem for a group buy to organize with usual (up to 10%) organizer fee instead of high reseller margins. |

I don't think its that easy. I think there is a contract between seller and reseller, so that this will not happen... The reseller will not be very happy if the manufacturer directly sells to the end-customer... |

This morning I received fedex shipment notification from Cryptx, and that my order should arrive Wednesday morning. Still no info on the software (custom CG miner build I believe).

I think cryptx has already said that those dates are autogenerated by Fedex when the shipping labels are printed, and that we shouldn't rely on them. But that the units are still on track to ship this week.
Disappointed at the lack of info though, if our units are really days away from shipping. Surely they must have at least rough specs and preliminary software at this stage? I'd much prefer it if they were working with ckolivas and kano to get the driver into cgminer, rather than just promising us some magic version of cgminer will be available on the day...

Looks like Burnin went to "the dark side". Please do not fund Cryptx hashing farm with this Bitfury burner price scam.
Just ask for a refund. The product is not worth the price, you will not even break even with this price - ROI
- forget about it. So do yourself a favor and let them use their own many to fund their hashing farm.
Why do all these projects seem to go pear shaped? One minute you have something that looks like it might make ROI @470EUR then the next minute a 48% price rise to 699EUR which has no chance. |
