Topic: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales NEW STOCK ***NOW SHIPPING*** - page 111. (Read 576772 times)

Hi guys - all pending BTC refunds should be done now - Kat usually does CC refunds immediately.  Except for a few wire transfers that I will arrange tomorrow, thats it.  If you requested a CC refund and haven't gotten word back, please check with Kat at [email protected].

Some trolls made a forum-factoid about us favoring 200TH over shipping to customers: not true - I am waiting for product.

I don't make shipping promises until I know product is on the way and I have a sense of when we will have it tested before shipping.  At this time, I can guess mid-October.  I'll have something more specific as soon as I can.

Of course we are watching the KnC situation.  If there's anything to announce there, I'll surely do so.

If you want to protect yourself against this fiat/btc rate fluctuations, you should buy the corresponding amount of bitcoins when you purchase with bitcoins (in fiat) and sell them when you get a refund.  You might still lose a bit but not as much.

I just got my refund however it was not quite the amount I was hoping for...  

I paid BTC 13.8932

I just got refunded BTC 10.198

Feeling scammed...

I would expect to receive what I paid and I paid in BTC. I don't really care about the USD to BTC rate. I paid x amount of BTC I want x amount returned - is that unreasonable?

What if BTC to USD rate dropped, will you feel guilty taking more BTC than you paid?

i've been saying no roi for weeks now. the ghash private pull fucked things up and they cut into everyone elses "profits"

To be fair its an average of about 33% every 10.4 days.     (difficulty average increase over the last couple weeks).  
But as far as bitfury you should do 16x33.125  GH/s  = 530 GH/s.

or 33.125 Gh/s per H-card.

Hi guys.  I am working with Dave in some capacities.  We do not want customers to feel slighted by the decision not to ship M-boards we had on hand.  In this case, we were forced to consider the small impact of shipping M-boards to customers who we can compensate versus the very large impact on the other customer of MegaBigPower(100TH/s mine) who we could not compensate for the loss.  I discussed these issues with him, and he has cleared the following:

We will pay out based on the theoretical maximum hash rate that the boards would have produced at 25 GH/s, starting from the time we had the M-boards ready to ship, but decided not to ship them.  We will calculate this based on the following formula:

( Number of 1-difficulty shares produced over the duration * per-block output ) divided by difficulty at the time they were produced.

By my calculation, 25 GH/s should produce a theoretical 502,800 1-diff shares per day or 5.8194 1-diff shares per second.  We will count the per-block output as 25.3125 BTC, where 0.3125 BTC is a good high estimate of the fees included on blocks today.  We will not charge a fee or power cost on this.

This is a short-term solution while we have a shortage of M-boards.  As soon as the M-board shortage is rectified, which should be in a few weeks at the latest, we will ship the remaining orders to customers.

We hope that this resolves the issue in your minds.  We are focused on providing the best customer service we can, and that includes making smart decisions for the 100TH mine customer, who are also severely affected by these delays.

In addition, Dave informed me that only 36 orders have not shipped, not the 54 he mentioned before.  As Dave said, the team is working 14 hour days nearly 7 days a week to get these issues resolved.  Even last weekend when the team went home for a weekend break, someone was working both Saturday and Sunday.  We also have more people coming on board soon to continue making rapid progress on all of the difficulties that arise from this type of work.

What about Chainminer updates to M-board v1.0? Any words out on that?

or get strung along until after product is shipping...

I not understanding the CC refund part? I'm still waiting to pay you guys with CC for October order 8##.

My e-mails and forums posts go answered.

you can make the sd card at a windows system, but to change the ip settings you need to either use a monitor/KB with the bitfury, or use linux to change the network interfaces file.

The chainminer in the image works, but not optimally. once the sd is in the rpi with the right ip settings, do this:


It is much better version, and will cut your error rates massively. I went from 10% errors to 3%, and still have some tuning to do that should bring it under 2%

They will have to come down in prices.  Most November (or October) orders will go to KNC.  November deliveries would have to be below 4K for full kits.

Now, nothing will stop KNC to just open the gates and produce in numbers.
