Hi guys - expedited shipping is up on the site.  I decided to offer one option only - for $199 we will ship any order of any size overnight (or international expedited).  Please no credit cards for August orders - this must be paid in advance.  If you want to use your credit card for October orders, please wait until I get the CC processing in place.

Here's the particulars:

This flat fee will upgrade your shipping to Priority Express overnight if you are in the US, or Global Express if you are International.

We estimate this shipping will provide a 1-3 business day shipping time.

***All packages require signature on delivery***  Make sure you track your package and make arrangements to sign for it!

We will make every effort to combine your orders if quantities allow. 

Please order (1) Expedited Delivery per order you want to expedite.

Dave,

Which courier is this with?

Its not custom cgminer - its custom code.  Hopefully all the different software teams can grab our code soon and integrate into their solutions...

Is it based on this bitfury cgminer driver?

do we have any background of rep on Bitfury? I did some searching in the rep forum but no dice.
Tier 1. Fpga mining hardware manufacturer, whoms hardware would of have been a huge succes the first time around if BFL hadn't countered with outright lies about performance and delivery times... and the hardware ended up being vastly profitable for anyone who bought it.

Sweet, ive only heard good things about bitfury. i just dont want to get stuck in pre-order limbo while the diff skyrockets. I may order once the units are in hand.

Definitely not a bet but just an understanding of math that difficulty increase is not a linear progression and cannot be used for more than 3 months or so regardless of who is shipping what.

I think we all understand the math - and that means we understand that the increase could theoretically get even steeper before it gets less steep.  None of us know what will happen for sure.

I'm just saying that I think the evidence suggests that a 400GH unit bought at >$8000 in November will probably never ROI.  I could be wrong.  YMMV.  All standard disclaimers apply.


Fair enough.

Will megabigpower be offering a discount for November orders?
 I dont know but no one know and by that time maybe all miners stock might be gone when Aug. order delivery ship out.
My intention is not to be rude, but if you don't know, then don't reply. You are just wasting everyone's time, most of all the OP's. The only person who *may* know is Dave.

   You are right and we dont know anythings then no way  Dave will low price in Nov. also bad for Oct. buyers.

I don't intend to do presales after the October batch ships.  This means we intend to have product in-stock.  Prices will probably go up, not down.

I was just using the mining calc at thegenesisblock.com - and it claims that my October delivery full kit will never reach ROI if it actually ships in late October, and starts mining November 1:

http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/281853d744

If this is an accurate assessment, how can the price for the same equipment go UP in November?  Presale or not, it will never come close to ROI, unless BTC is a lot more than the $120ish it is as I write this.  What am I missing here?




If you believe that difficulty will be over 1063 MM in Feb then you should not be mining. This graph/calculator is only good at predicting short term difficulty and nothing more as it assumes the rise in difficulty will be linear and never taper off.

Feb-14   1063   132   $688   $647   $(1,390)
Mar-14   1765   219   $414   $373   $(1,020)
Apr-14   2930   364   $250   $209   $(812)
May-14   4863   604   $150   $109   $(703)
Jun-14   8073   1003   $91   $50   $(653)
Jul-14   13401   1665   $55   $14   $(640)
Aug-14   22246   2765   $33   $-8   $(648)
Sep-14   36928   4589   $20   $-21   $(669)
Oct-14   61300   7618   $12   $-29   $(698)

So you are betting that difficulty is at a point where it will plateau soon?  Looking at all the hashpower that appears poised to start mining, I would expect it will be a while before we see that plateau.  I would be glad to be wrong about that though.

It'll definitely plateau. Not in 3 months for sure. Maybe in 6 months. Definitely before 12 months.

At the current rate,  6 months seems most likely at this point.

That seems like a reasonable assessment - but it also means a 400GH rig purchased at >$8000 in November 2013 will never ROI, I think.

I think it would be better to power each 400GH unit from a separate PSU.  You can remotely power cycle (if needed) each one separately.

I'll be getting two smaller PSUs for two M-cards.

Something like

The newegg reviews on the CX600 are a little scary.  A number of them reporting failed units

For what it's worth I've used a CX600 in a mining rig that has run for months without failure.

Dave,
What will the configuration options be for the rPI mining software?  Will it be remotely configurable using a web page or will we need to log into the rPI directly?  

/cet

Its very basic at this time - just an rPi running our custom code.  You will ssh to connect to the rPi on each rig and run the miner program.  There is a configuration file for your pool address.  I'm sure we'll get some integration to bfg and cgminer soon after units become available, or someone can develop something cool just for us Wink

Have you ever used MinePeon? It's a raspberry pi distro for mining with a ton of awesome features. Probably could get them running on that with the custom cgminer. Any idea if they plan on merging their custom cgminer with the regular cgminer? If so, it would be a lot easier to get this going on MinePeon for each update that Neil rolls out for MinePeon Smiley

Its not custom cgminer - its custom code.  Hopefully all the different software teams can grab our code soon and integrate into their solutions...
