Yes, yesterday there was a purchase of 1200 shares.

Your mining farm is quite promising. Too bad we failed to catch the last bus of the
Cognitive IPO. Sad

If the company is a good company with a integrity manager and promising future, you should not stop buy it only because the price doubled. based on my calculation, Cognitive is still one of the mining shares which has great investment value on the GLBSE, compared to lots of mining company.

You are right. We will continue studying Cognitive (as well as mining with existing FPGA chips in general) to decide whether to hold some of it now or wait for the next round of its IPO. Smiley

Twelve more boards have been paid for. I am going to purchase five more fans (larger heatsinks on the rev3 boards means we need 2" spacers), two USB hubs, and four molex splitters right now.

AFAIK yes. Rev2 has been sold out since quite a while now.

Just confirming, yes. 2" standoffs would be optimal.

Thanks!
I'm probably going to house them on top of my server box, which is currently in my room getting Ubuntu installed.
I plan to post tons of pictures, and a live video feed of the unboxing and setup.

Edit: I just updated the on site inventory.

It has been recommended by fizzisist that we purchase two of these:

Yes, electricity backup is a high priority as much as secure storage of any current bitcoin assets the company holds.

I just purchased them and the changes are reflected on the site.
Remaining funds: 27.28

Edit: I just added links to all the items we have.

I'm going to pay another 1BTC test dividend in the next few minutes, this will be the first on GLBSE 2.0

Edit: Dividend paid.

Also, Nefario, the linkedin verification should have a check. Not really important, just the big red X caught my eye.

On another note, I believe we have everything we need purchased, now it's just the waiting game! We have about 27BTC of extra funds. What does everyone propose we do with this?

IMO, get an emergency fund created in case of unexpected expenses.

That has been suggested by someone else as well, so that's what I'm planning to do.

So it looks like we have 18 x6500s for a total of ~7.2GH?

Assuming the ideal 400mh from each, yes.

After reading that you are in ID I am going to buy some shares. I'm in MT and you are probably the closest operation to me!

Great!

But it seems that the reporting infrastructure is not ready on the site. The mining hash power status, the real time bitcoin balance, I think all this should be reported as btcsyn.com does.
