We'll mine our own equipment before we fire sale hardware.
Dave, 100TH is still waiting for undelivered hardware...

I've asked via the megabigpower power site as well - any ideas on when the October hardware should be delivered?? I was originally told last week and that's not right, so...
Please point me in the right direction, maybe I missed a post on another thread??..??
I ordered just over three months ago - #33x

I received a very kind reply from customer service - should have information later (today?) on availability - I'll post an update if I hear anything and would appreciate it if others did the same!

Still nada over here 
I'm starting to get worried that the diff will be 600m + by the time the boards arrive

But notice my observation about cards with and without caps here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3390730
I haven't noticed that problem myself, running 7 original boards with 8 "new" boards in one rig right now.. Very stable.
I am having trouble with one of my new v1 H-boards as well shorting out my whole rig. I don't notice anything damaged or anything smelling funny either. I've tried many ways to troubleshoot the problem.

So h-boards are back in stock with 250 count... where's the shipments?
Wow, I literally hit Save about 30 seconds ago...yes I have a few extra H-cards of the old type that arrived. Since I don't the M-boards for them, they are only useful for filling out your V1 or V2 M-boards. Buy them now, and they will ship immediately.
Production is cranking for the next-gen boards, but I haven't received any shipping notifications yet. I expect to see something in the next day or two...when product is on the way I'll give an update.
Orders placed now for H-cards will ship immediately? But I have not yet received shipment notification for an older order of H-cards (not with M-boards, so I've been assuming I'll get the old type). Is that order shipping immediately as well, as in today/tomorrow?
Please contact Yvonne immediately - if you have an H-card order for V1/V2 M-boards, it should be out the door by now. Sorry for the trouble.
Shipped Tue afternoon after emailing her. Thanks!

Count me in for some dead v1 H-boards.
3 in total, one with an obvious bad solder point.
This is out of 48 total boards, so could be worse.
Just emailed Yvonne to see about RMA for replacements.

Tom: I got 17 H-Boards, and not a dud amongst them - sorry about your luck. You email Dave or any of the other megabigpower email addresses?
I did Email to accounts@ then Kate will let Yvonne and she will RMA for replace.

They will not eat them. Leszek or whatever his name is, is getting them at $25 or less so he'll run them, Dave will host the shit for him.
You think they want to sell retail? They priced it so that it is worthwhile their time to even bother. They are busy producing them, setting them up, maintaining them. Retail is a side show.

no news = bad news. I wish I got v1 hw with m-boards to actually have a unit to hash with in october. This is the equivalent to recieving my unit at minium 7-10 days from now. If you guys can't send it, I'd want my refund on OVN shipping except you'd refund me at the going rate and I would literally only be given a single bitcoin for a peice of hardware that costed me 1.5 btc in shipping. OK im off my soapbox.
When you buy with bitcoins you are essentially selling them. So make sure you buy the corresponding number of bitcoins.
When you get a refund you are essentially buying bitcoins. So sell the corresponding amount.
That way your loss will be minimal.
Ok, now 400M diff is coming up in 2-3 days so you better be ready. When the pricing for October H-boards was first announced at $350, the difficulty was what? 25-50M? I don't remember the exact numbers. But I do remember people on this forum projected 100M to 200M by the end of October. Those people were flammed, others called them crazy.
Than after August sold out in hours, the price was jacked up to $500. But going by what they are really worth, they should be in the $50-$100 range for mining to be marginally profitable.
The problem is that the network is growing faster than anybody anticipated. Today, many believe that network WILL NOT continue on its path up. Well, guess what, it most likely will. It will flatten out at some point. When?
When everybody and their mother will think it will never flatten out.
Lol. YEs, the only company that increased prices with increased difficulty for those specific cards! Go figure!. Bitfury should stop sucking all miners gains and they should only care about keeping a reasonable USD margin. That's what their business model should be. An engineer friend of mine who works at Intel just saw one of my h-boards a few minutes ago and told me there's no way the marginal cost of that card is more than $100. It's a complete rip off for dummies.
Ask your friend about Intel's pricing model. or, any other company producing a product.
Yup, I did and ... told me it's more cost-based, it's an entirely different industry not aimed to generate miner utility AND they don't normally inflate prices 190% relative to 2 months later. But if you think paying $500 is a fantastic deal go for it. They are still the same number of boards available as yesterday. I guess that should tell you something about the attractiveness of that deal ;-)
it's a pleasure to watch all of these ripoff artists eat their own asic boards. Enough of laughing on their way to the bank

Is it intentionally that the new V1 h-boards are missing components?
caps get very hot that why removed it.

Those must be the capcitors that were removed. It is mentioned in this thread.
