Got the little guy in the mailbox today. Plugged in and running with (almost) no trouble. kosmokramer ships fast.
Sad to see BitPay doesn't seem to know what is going with your account. Sounds like you have been more diligent than their support team!
BitPay Approval Update: BitPay is going to try to work on my account approval, but they cannot continue until I buy and install an EV SSL Certificate even though I'm using their shopping cart and payment processing. Yes, you read that right, even though my website will be collecting no sensitive information or taking any orders in (remember, that's their back-end doing that on their servers), they are going to require that I buy and install one of the most expensive SSL certs ($500+ per YEAR) that exists. All because some of our business involves re-selling ASICs.
Ack - how am I supposed to afford a $500+ cert? Not to mention, it takes at least a couple weeks to acquire such certification. So silly.
I thought bitcoin was supposed to be the future of eCommerce - with low startup costs and minimal fees. Ha!
So here's the real kicker: Butterfly Labs doesn't even have an EV SSL cert on their website and who do you think processes their bitcoin payments?!?
Anyone more technical than me interested in tweeting BitPay or more specifically Kevin McInturff to see why I, a little merchant just trying to startup, am being held to higher standards than BFL? Color me puzzled!
BTCGuild is kinda huge :| I might recommend any pool other than BTCGuild just to spread the hashrate around a bit more. I used to mine there until they hit ~40% or so a while back and switched to another pool.
Agreed, spread around some. I suggest BitParking (merge mining) or HHTT.
Only mining I've ever done has been three years ago. Non-pooled, CPU/GPU. Where can I find the best guide on getting this thing working on my behalf?
Btcguild.com is where I have mined forever... get an account and the rest is nice. BTCGuild is kinda huge :| I might recommend any pool other than BTCGuild just to spread the hashrate around a bit more. I used to mine there until they hit ~40% or so a while back and switched to another pool.
Still trying to get a BitPay account to better serve you guys. I posted on reddit hoping to get a bit more feedback on what the hell the secret is. Would appreciate upboats if any of you are redditors. Thanks all!

I fixed my pic!
I've got some exciting news guys! I was able to work with BitMit support to change my weird user name (d500blahblahblah) to match my bitcointalk name! Less confusing - yay!
In addition, I provided them personal information, including my company's business license/articles of incorporation and I am now a verified BitMit seller! Pretty exciting!
I've been trying for some time now to work with BitPay to get my sales website up and running, but they are just ridiculous. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but they won't give me the time of day. Meanwhile, Joachim at BitMit is bending over backwards to help me clean-up my seller profile, change username to match BT, same-day verification, answer questions, etc .... although BitMit's fees are much higher than BitPay, I still prefer them due to outstanding customer service.
Very exciting and just wanted you all to be informed that I am now "kosmokramer" on both sites ... and verified! I'd love to gain "trusted" status on this site, but not sure what the steps are to do that. Does anyone know?

Ok, well that makes sense. When you look at someone's trust profile, they separate the feedback you're reading based on who's opinion YOU trust (or who's opinion they, be default, think you should trust) and who's opinion you may or may not trust (untrusted). So they suggest that you trust OgNasty's opinion of me and clearly you can trust your own opinion, so they both appear under "trusted".
It's the same with me - when I view your trust profile, my feedback for you appears under "trusted" - because (hopefully) I can trust my own opinion of you.
Just saw the pictures you posted - looks like it arrived in perfect condition!!

yes sir it arrived excellent and I met the driver at his truck.. thanks for working with me on the postage and thanks for you dedication to making it all go smooth. The pic was a nice added touch! Sorry it was blurry I didn't notice until I posted it.

BOTTOM LINE I TRUST KOSMO AND SO SHOULD YOU. Maybe I should put pics of 20 shipped miners on here!
Believe me I am happily hashing.
one of 2 opened box of 10 (the other isn't mine to open)
There be little miners in them there boxes....

here is what i see
I am looking at your trust page and I see only 2 under trusted ... Me and OgNasty... weird!
Then perhaps, I don't know how it works or maybe I'm not understanding what you're seeing.
For reference, this is what my trust page looks like to myself.

My feedback was posted as trusted.... on yours and arklan's trust post pages... hmmmm I GUESS I AM A TRUSTED MEMBER! GO ME!
I'm seeing it under untrusted, no?

Why is some of the trust feedback not going in the trusted section?
Granted, I just discovered the "trust" tool a few days ago, but it's my understanding that trusted feedback is from members who are already in the elite pool of trust in this community. For example, OgNasty is one of the trusted members around here, and he made a comment that I served him well, so they separate his comment from yours because perhaps his carries more weight, as he's a very trusted user.
Untrusted feedback is still good, but it doesn't carry as much weight as trusted. I could get my family to create accounts here and say as many warm and fuzzy things as possible about me, but it would all, justifiably, go under the untrusted feedback section.
This is the trust network: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust As you can see, Og is pretty high up the hierarchy, so we value his opinion. I saw Tomatocage call out a scammer yesterday - he is pretty good at that which is likely one of the many reasons he's in that trust pool too.
Why is some of the trust feedback not going in the trusted section? Anyone know? WHOOT I HAD THE BIGGEST TRUSTED ORDER... is that good? Or am I chasing a pipe dream because they will never ROI? WHO CARES VIA LA BITCOIN! VIA LA KOSMO!

I'm going to update the OP - just talked with DHL - package was picked up a bit later than usual in China and did not make the flight to LA, therefore, it will not be delivered until Monday 
Expect me to update the OP Monday with tracking status - more inventory will be available for sale when it's in my hands Monday afternoon. Thanks for your patience guys - sorry for the delay :/
I already have ANOTHER order on the way from friedcat after that (expected to arrive Tuesday of next week) so we should be sittin' pretty all next week with inventory.
