Topic: [AUCTION] 6x 500GH Butterfly Labs Rigs, hosted for 1 month (Read 1550 times)

These units are no longer available.

You'll be lucky to get any bids much less stuff you need to apply tie breaker rules to.  This is actually kinda sad.   

any idea when they gonna ship  ?

That postal code you forgot to censor is enough for someone to locate you. (I realize these are going to hosting) Just saying.

The six units will be hosted, not shipped.  Bids will be considered in order of amount (earlier bids preferred as a tie breaker) to determine who gets the earliest delivery.

How are u planning to ship them? In what order. Currently bfl are just shipping out one 500gh/s machine to people and shipping the second and third ones months later?

Unfortunately you won't ever get your money back on these, best to try for a refund, or convert the funds into the 600gh cards, but you probably won't see ROI on that either.

I have a pre-order from April 13, requested a refund and after few back and forth they said they will deliver 1Q '14 so that's about a year for a pre-order to get to you.

Citation?

Based on emails from BFL your Feb 13 order will not be filled until Jan 14. And with the new 60GHs cards at around $5K your 500GHs rig is worth about $4K ... looks like you were taken by BFL like the rest of us that did pre-orders... Sorry about that.

Still 100% worth it for some nefarious individual to spend quite some time trying to 'fake' a relationship with BFL to change BTC sending address or other parameters.

Yes you are right. Regardless, hiding the personal information wouldn't hurt. 

They're going to hosting

I agree someone may want to wait until those ship and show up to get them from you

+infinity

Might want to remove that file and censor your details

I am auctioning off (the orders for) six (6) 500GH mining units from Butterfly Labs.  These were originally ordered as two 1500GH rigs, but Butterfly Labs has changed the specs on the units since the time of the order and now each 1500GH rig will be shipped as three 500GH rigs.  The original order can be seen here: http://www.gafter.com/~neal/Order100015403.pdf.  The specs on these units can be seen here: https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage/500-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html.  Your rigs will be upgraded so that each one includes an integrated Nexus 7 mining host as the front panel display.  These were among the last purchased as 1500GH rigs before Butterfly Labs stopped accepting orders for them.

I have not yet taken delivery of the rigs.  Butterfly Labs most recent estimate is that their backlog of orders will be shipped by the middle of September; see https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/692-bfl-asic-status-3.html#post43041.  Because Butterfly Labs does not allow any changes to the ownership or shipping address of existing orders, your rigs will be shipped to the hosting facility described here: http://www.butterflylabs.com/third-party-hosting/ and set up to mine on your EMC pool account.  Included in your purchase is the first month of hosting.  During that month we will complete the ownership transfer and you can arrange for continued hosting, change pools, and/or you can arrange for your rig to be shipped to you.

Bidding starts at 180 BTC per unit, and the bidding increment is 5 BTC.  Please post your bids on this thread.  When you bid, please also send me a private message with evidence of your ability to pay (for example, a bitcoin address with sufficient balance along with a message signed using its private key).  I will periodically post a tally of the accepted bids.

I will accept bids posted here with a posting date on or before August 27 2013.  I may end the auction early if all units are sold.
