Any way to charge back the BFL stuff?? Would be great to ditch them and use a decent hardware vendor.
I think that would be a mistake. We're most likely in the bullet run and should be receiving something in about a month. However, I'd love to use my personal funds to help us land a Terraminer in January which I think would be a good move... I am just about to place an order for the 1oz silver NastyFans coins, and the rising BTC price might enable me to actually have enough funds leftover to place the Terraminer order soon, but it would help speed things along if someone were able to buy some of my Nasty Mining debt...
I'm not exactly happy with BFL, but they do deliver good, quality equipment at the specs they advertise. When they deliver is another story. Hopefully they are getting better with that. And normally I would agree OgNasty on the above. However looking at the numbers, it would probably make sense if we could chargeback a couple of the Monarchs and get a Cointerra 2 TH/s unit or two. I'm sure the numbers I'm going to put out there are not correct due to discounts and such but I'm guessing that it's fairly close..
9 (I think) BFL Monarchs @ about $4,680 each = $42,120 for a total of 5.4 TH/s
7 Cointerra 2 TH/s units @ $5,999 = $41,993 for a total of 14 TH/s (8.6 TH/s more) for the same $
Other factors:
- Like I said, I may not have used the correct numbers
- I don't know Cointerra's reputation. Have they delivered on time before?
- IF BFL delivers the bullet run mid november AND Cointerra delivers in January then we're talking about 2 - 3 months before we get the gear which means around 6-7 or so difficulty adjustments.
- Could we even get the full amount back from BFL?
Anyway, please ignore my ignorance in a number of the factor that I've put out there. If I'm incorrect or have facts wrong, please correct me.
It's just a thought and I will be happy with whatever OgNasty and my fellow Fan's think!
