[CLOSED*]R1B: HashFast Baby Jet Upgrade Promo - DZ MC Round 1. Batch 1. Mahalo!

[DyslexicZombei]

10/17 PM update:

Thank you to firsttimeuser and the rest of the co-op for keeping this upgrade promo alive!

I listed this as Closed with an asterisk because orig. R1 shares owners *still* can purchase their allotted R1B shares all the way up until the upgrade parts ship.

However, I think it's fair if you pay the R1B purchaser of your allotted share $2 extra because they basically loaned you your $43 share. This R1B upgrade for Batch 1 buyers is now complete and is in the official order chain! See page 4 for details.

I'm setting up a thread for open voting, and discussions on major decisions for HashFast Baby Jet owners from Round 1 of my first Group Buy. Thank you gentlemen! I truly wouldn't be here offering a 2nd Group Buy and GBEC services, if you guys hadn't believed in me in the first place. From the bottom of my heart: thank you. This is a continuation of DZ MC Round 1.

Next decision WRT to voting is: For the miner being hosted by firsttimeuser: How much overclocking are we going to do on our HashFast Baby Jet?

Current choices are:

- None
- 10%
- 20%
- 30%
- 30%+, We got water cooling and A/C, yo!

FWIW: my first major overclock was an Intel Celeron II OC'ed from 300 Mhz to 450 Mhz for a free 50% performance upgrade! FSB change from 66Mhz to 100Mhz & you were golden, back in the day. [Yup, my kids say I'm old]

[DyslexicZombei]

You can vote via PM or public voting. You're free to state your case as to how much or how little overclocking we attempt.

We'll step up overclocking to check stability instead of taking huge jumps as far as clockspeed, whenever possible. You just need to vote before...gee, delivery in November, so there's no rush. Please vote or check in with your opinion whenever you have time. Cheers!

i vote 10% first week. then do a new vote depending on results. no more then 15% no less then 5%



 my case for 10% is long term use goal. {24/7/365 =longterm } as  it is easy on gear.

 I ran a lot of gpu's to mine and slight under volt with a bit of core over volt allowed for trouble free running.  if we had 5 setups I would say do 0% 5 % 10% 15% 20% 25%  and if one dies we have more running.

 we have 1 chip and 1 board  so 99%  up time would be better then over clock with a big time crash.

[DyslexicZombei]

Great points Philip. Vote and concerns noted. Thanks for voting.

'Tis true we only have 1 rig if we push things too far & release all the magic smoke from our mysterious black box. Also, don't forget this unit is operating in firsttimeuser's house! I think his wife/GF and/or roommates will probably be a tad upset at us if our mysterious black box sets fire to the furniture or whatnot.

Besides: We all know what happens to mysterious black boxes once all the magic smoke comes out right?

Edit: I'm showing 3 votes on the poll, but I only have 1 official vote so far.

My personal opinion is go for overclock but do it in stages.
 We may be able to abuse it more then we thought originally

What no Oil Cooling?

What no Oil Cooling?

Nah man, didn't you hear that the kewl kids are cooling their server rooms with hot air nowadays?

Also, firsttimeuser has 24/7 AC and I'm not sure how happy he'd be about 3M or mineral oil leaks all over his home if anything bad happened w/ leaky seals or components.

News from Simon Barber on CH Forum:

Look forward to a special promotion just for those first batch customers. Launching soon.

Lucky us gents!

==

Also R3 Co-op member -Redacted- bought 2 of my shares for R1 so I can apply them to R3/R4 if necessary. Thanks -Redacted-!

I also donated half of one of my R1 shares to one of our fellow R1 members who has some difficulties in life, you & I don't face.

So: For Round 1, my share/voting power is down to 7.5 shares. This is down from 10 shares.

[DyslexicZombei]

With the latest news about the B1 promotion: Who's down for doubling our hashrate (100% more) at only 25% more?

Place your votes here either publicly or via PM. I'm voting immediately with my 7.5 shares for the upgrade.

Cost should be $38-40 per share, depending on shipping.

Upgrade

[DyslexicZombei]

Came out to $42-43 per share with shipping when I calculated it in the R2 thread. Shipping was $138 - 187 IIRC w/ my fake order.

Gents, I tried PMing everyone but I'm limited to 5 members at a time & I'm starting to fade out here tonight. Here's the DropBox link and ownership updates.

Here's the latest ownership breakdown. -Redacted- bought 2 of my shares. Also, I'm donating half a share to a R1 member but I won't list it so as to not call out the member it's being donated to.

Please let me know if you have trouble viewing the spreadsheet or if you have any questions. Thanks!

  I would pay 42-43 for the upgrade

Yes.  Question.  Why does line 9 get to have their withdrawal address listed in a bigger font when I own more shares?  (   )

I would go $42-$43 for the upgrade...

[DyslexicZombei]

I'm sorry I didn't even notice TBH. Aren't all numbers the same in the minds of math teachers?

Do you suppose they prefer some #s over others?

Thanks for noticing my awful spreadsheet editing late last night. What I don't notice, I can't fix cuz I ain't perfect because I use the word ain't.

Don't worry, I'll change it during the first miner payout.  

Edit: Ah! I got it. Political spin: it was merely an abstraction to show that we're all equal in this co-op.  

[DyslexicZombei]

I'll set up a wallet tonight for fundraising for the double hashrate upgrade, if you gents want to collect BTC for this.

With express shipping, it appears to be $43 per share, using bitstamp rate at time of your BTC purchase or transfer.

If we don't raise enough funds in, oh about a month?, I'll refund anyone that paid, with no restock fee.

[DyslexicZombei]

Gents,

For those that may have been away or on travel: If you missed the news: HashFast is currently giving Batch1 owners an opportunity to double hashrate at only 25% extra. Est. to ship 1 month after our miner is delivered & it would double our hashrate well before any MPP could kick in at 3-3.5 months.

The cost per share would be $43 with Express Shipping AM delivery.

Just for Round 1: Here's the wallet I've set up for our HashFast Baby Jet upgrade if you guys want to go for the upgrade:

1C6wCvpr8ycyJEBkvDL5Y6z3aC8EFcCKvS

Please PM me the relevant details if you proceed:

Subject - DZ HF R1 Upg., 1 share, (BTC equivalent of) $43
Message Body - Tx ID or Tx ID link

As mentioned: there's no restock fee if we don't come up with enough funds to double hashrate, and a refund is needed.

==

Also, FWIW, there's a healthy demand for our co-op's HashFast shares if anyone wants to pull out and sell their shares, or if the don't feel like participating in the upgrade program and feels that they're being pushed into extra payments they don't want to do.

Please PM me if you're interested. No hard feelings as I understand things happen and the shares do become 25% more expensive (of course, 100% has already been paid).  

[DyslexicZombei]

Hmm, as someone pointed out to me via PM: there's nothing that says someone can't buy out *your* share of the upgrade and they, the new buyer, get the benefit of the upgrade of the additional 400-500GH/s. Great idea!

That way, even if someone *doesn't* want to pay more for the upgrade, they still have their original purchased hashrate yet it doesn't hurt the rest of the R1 gents that want to do the upgrade & benefit from it.

[abuelau]

DZ, what's the deadline to make this payment please?

[ZipTheRip]

I would gladly buy an upgraded share from a B1 GB member who dosnt want to pay the extra!! PM me, I have the BTC ready! and to be fair im willing to pay half of the total for a regulat B1 share and the upgrade.  it dosnt feel right that I can buy just the 25%cost upgrade without a stake in the initial GB. 

[abuelau]

I am also willing to buy the upgrades for members that don't feel like it. Maybe 2 upgrades on top of my already existing 2 shares.

Just FYI...
