First, there were only 36 starter kits pending shipping, not 54 as I previously stated (we hadn't updated the totals board since previous day's shipping). The hashpower you see on the MBPStarters account at BTCG will be for you guys. I have V2 M-boards coming in next week and the following. I'll be able to ship out the remaining starters by end of next week.
For those of you who want to replace your V1 M-boards, we'll have to set this up for a time when I've got plenty of spare M's. I don't want you to have to ship first and be down while you wait for replacements. You are welcome to just stay with the existing V1 M- the V2 doesn't offer a performance benefit.

Dave: The MBPStarters account has been showing a 0 hash rate for a little while now.....

This was my mistake- They are still hashing, they just got pointed to the wrong place(I was fixing a different issue and it picked up those too). As mentioned in this post, we'll sort the issue out in all of the delayed customers' orders to your benefit:

Thanks for clarifying that JaredR26. But Dave's message below states otherwise.
Highlighted below. We just want to make sure that we don't loose out on the earnings.
Thanks,

One way or another, you will not lose earnings from this. We are not BFL or Avalon. I will follow up on this when possible.
So I talked to Dave about this.
#1 - I have confirmation again that we are paying the theoretical production from the miners. Your payout is not tied to to the MBPStarters account.
#2 - So to clarify, the purpose of the MBPStarters account at this point is to explicitly set aside some of the mining output. This way only small adjustments/money movements are needed to close the gap between what was actually mined and what needs to be sent to customers. But it is purely for our purposes, not for tracking anything public(anymore).
Does that help clarify the plan?
Very much looking forward to October.
