Please see the 2nd post for updated Payment info.

Paypal is no longer available as we're "sold out" on this payment method.

However, we have new updated payment options available as well including CCs thanks to bobsag3 and certain checks.

Could be phantom orders, double orders, a competitor, or a troll.

If someone's trolling us they can only slow a Round down, no big deal. We just adjust the numbers upwards later and carry on. Life will go on yet that troll will still need to find a way to get a life.

One new co-op update that I can add: Thomas & I have agreed to officially work with a true FinCen registered MSB! That means that for US customers, for only 3% extra, you can convert cash into Bitcoin in 15 minutes to 1 hour!

http://cashintocoins.com/

You simply deposit your cash into a US Bank and soon after BTC will be sent to the address that you specified on your behalf! This is from their FAQ:



"Q. How quickly do I get my bitcoins?

A. Short anwer, as quickly as possible. Long answer, it depends on your payment method. Cash deposits to any bank will get you your coins within 1 hour, often less than 15 minutes."

The DZ MC is in the process of registering as an official reseller for Cash Into Coins, but for US customers: please feel free to immediately begin using their service if you'd like.

For Intl. customers: if anyone has inexpensive fiat into BTC options they can recommend, we're all ears.

I, personally, recommend Bitstamp for Intl. BTC purchases simply because that's the exchange rate we use and for the fact that they have low rates.

47 shares available. (Based on official site reservations and payments)

I'm not sure how these numbers are changing so quick we have 16 paid in this round.

This Bitmine Rig module upgrade Round 8 is now more then half reserved and/or paid!

Mahalo!

47 shares available.

Hi adamln and mrm0, welcome back for R8 and R9/10!

We definitely have enough to secure 1 or 2 more Bitmine modules if all the payments went thru on R8. Nice!

67 shares available.

1 share for me, order placed and paid #279
Thanks!

5 shares ordered and paid.

Cheers

Also: I updated the OP with the newest HashRate estimates from Bitmine:

1 share was listed as 8-13 GH/s originally for R7/R8.

Shares are now being listed as 10-15GH/s thanks to the latest news from Bitmine.

Completely understood. This co-op is all about trying to hedge your bets by spreading them among options that you're comfortable with.

That earlier delivery in R10 is tempting, but this R8 option is great for those looking to spend half of what R10 costs.

==

80 shares available. Thank you!

Welcome aboard if there's any new co-op members who joined.

If all the payments show up, at the very least we'll be able to buy 1 upgrade module or more.

Hello folks,

soft reservation for 10 5 shares, please

(after looking at R10, I need to reallocate funds)

Hey Dick,

Welcome back! I also saw that you're working on a BM board design. G'luck!

Perhaps you might want to sound out co-op members if you need help. I know jungle_dave a former EE/Net. Engineer, with a cryptography background, and has some ideas to improve hashing efficiency. There's also a couple of other EEs in the co-op.

WRT to R8: Please contact -R- to see if he can fit you in. I'm still floating 4 eBay shares I need to get to him for R6 and 2 more eBay shares for OldGeek for R7.

We use the current Bitstamp rate when you're doing your purchase. This helps us deal with currency volatility which is why you see DZ MC GB shares priced in USD since Round 2. We'd only change this if a Rig we targeted was priced strictly in BTC.

BTW, I noticed on Reddit that you mentioned that you have a CNC mill? I do too (CNC mill & lathe and 3D printer), but I've never seemed to find the time/inclination to train on this CNC gear sitting in my garage. I should probably sell this gear. It's worth a bit.

Let me know if you'd be interested in helping me with a side project. I have a world class machinist buddy that helped me come up with something interesting but he's far too busy it seems to help me on this little side electronics project. I need a small volume of precision aluminum objects for my neat little project.

Please shoot me a PM if you're interested in helping me out with your CNC skills. Cheers!

Our order was complete 2 nights ago. We had already canceled our first order from last Friday and applied the money to our order on the 15th to save about 4-5 BTC (which is the first time with 7 Industrial class ASIC rig purchases I've ever had to do this). I had to do a bit of back & forth with Bitmine to make sure it was coordinated correctly. I'd feel bad about cancelling *yet again* esp. when Giorgio and I both know that the new promotion started last night.

Keep in mind: they're a small startup much like many of the new ASIC mfgs. I don't want to abuse their ordering system further then I already did as I'm trying to build longer term business relationships with various manufacturers to benefit our co-op. We already saved 12% off the at-cost BTC cost simply by using the higher exchange rate this week.

These 12% savings were already passed on to the R7 members in the form of only having to raise 91% of our targeted shares, so that 9% extra hashrate is being split amongst the 91 PAID R7 shares.

Hey, DZ, all, - I want to buy 10 shares in R8, for $600... but how is the translation determined into BTC? Would it be acceptable to simply PP-gift the money to Thomas_s?

Thanks!
DickMS

Since you just ordered the other rig a couple days ago you should try and get this pricing on both.

Prices have been reduced 15% for this Round 8 thanks to Bitmine's New Halloween Sale!

I just happened to be the first person in the world outside Bitmine to find that out thanks to a Skype conversation when he told me about it.  

Therefore: this is the first Public Notice of this promotion.

At-cost Share Prices have been reduced from $70 a share to $60 a share!

R8 is now open again for those that want Bitmine hashrate in December.

R7 is locked at 95 shares w/ the addition of OldGeek's 2 eBay shares as the last R7 shares.

New R8 purchases will be allocated to upgrade modules from the R7 Rig.

R7 reserves were opened to anyone because they weren't paid if you were interested in R8 you can hop into R7 instead.

http://www.dzminercoop.com/?product=r7-bitmine-rig

Paused for now.

Late R7 payments will be shifted to this round. This may include ebay payments which require sending a tracked letter w/ signature confirmation.

R8 is paused for now, but I'm positive it will open up shortly or a few days.

First time I added a product to my own co-op's site.    

I did it all by myself... Well, me and Control C+Control V...and the site Thomas built, hosted, and patiently taught me to use. Other then that: all by myself.

Site is open for Round 8 ordering now. Cheers!

BTC Option (least expensive form of payment): www.dzminercoop.com

=====

If you or someone you know only have PayPal funds available, there's still a PayPal at-cost option available via my wife's eBay acct. where I'm her co-seller/buyer for eBay IT related items: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131018101196

Of course, this option is more convenient but it's more expensive, as it includes at-cost eBay + at-cost shipping fees that aren't incurred through our site.

Round 8 Payment Details (Similar to R7-R10, for the most part)

========================================================================

BTC Payments will be directed to thomas_s via our site for R8 but I will have co-admin to this wallet for auditing or for payments if we're in a rush. We've worked together on 8 different Group Buys with great success including 2 of the fastest GB sellouts in the forum's history for Industrial class Rigs.

For US Customers: for a 3%  fee for USD conversion to BTC, we recommend: www.cashintocoins.com a FinCen compliant USB who can get BTC sent to the wallet address you want in as little as 15 minutes to an hour.

For Intl. Customers: We are still exploring suggestions for inexpensive BTC conversion but I can recommend www.bitstamp.net at this time as that's the exchange rate used by our payment processor.

DZ MC R8 Product Link: http://www.dzminercoop.com/?product=r8-bitmine-rig

PayPal payments (UPDATE): If payment is being made by Paypal place an order on the site and place a note on the order when you place it saying you're paying by paypal...then give whoever you are buying BTC from the order # and the payment address. Please make sure to send it as a gift to "friends and family." This helps keep your share prices as low as possible (no PP fees) and well as protects us against illegal chargebacks after BTC deposits have already been paid out in November. Sorry, this is no longer available. This payment method is "sold out."

If there's any concerns about registering your payment, please follow up with a PM to Thomas or a support ticket. There's two methods to resolve this:

A. Send a support ticket on our website www.dzminercoop.com

OR

B: PM to thomas_s on this site

Subject: DZ HF GB R8, x shares, x BTC
Details: Please include Tx ID, your wallet address for payout, and any concerns you may have about your transaction(s)

thomas_s -  Primary GBC for Rounds 5-10. Co-GBC during R3-R7. R2 member. Send BTC payments and questions for R7 to thomas_s . Set up Online Auto Reservations for the co-op! Thank you! PM CC -Redacted- and thomas_s please.

DZ - Need escrowed Group Buy shares? For a 2% extra fee you get 3rd party fund holding, dispute resolution, and $500 insurance per transaction at BTCrow. [DISCLAIMER: I, DyslexicZombei, am an approved Escrow Affiliate at BTCrow.] Please PM Carbon Copy thomas_s please prior to escrow payment.

NEW! 10/18 UPDATE from Thomas:

"Bobsag3 will be accepting wire transfers (for 20+ shares) and chase quick pay (any quantity of shares). and credit cards by Square https://squareup.com/market/miner-hosting-llc/share-r-bitfury-gh-s-min-ups-backup

Thomas_s will be accepting TD bank and CitiBank (USA) checks (any quantity of shares). At this time no other banks checks are being accepted. EDIT: Sorry, only available for Round 8. My mistake.

*These payment options are only available for Rounds that don't need BTC conversions. (At the moment the only open Round(s) is/are 10)

I've also located the reason for the zombie rounds...apparently there is a bug in the site where it reduces the stock when the order is placed and when it is paid.

The updates on the forum were going by what the site displayed which was effectively doubling what was actually sold so that's where those shares magically popped up from"

===

Thomas is handling questions and collecting payments for R8 via our site (unless you require Escrow, in which case you can PM me). He set up the automated reservation site and the GB with my input. Great work Thomas, and it's definitely an improvement over me trying to keep up w/ an avalanche of PMs and payments.  

I will still handle or assist in:

- Ordering
- Shipping details
- (Optional) Escrowed GB shares for those that insist on Escrow Protection from a 3rd party for: holding BTC funds, post-sales dispute resolution, $500 insurance per transaction at 2% extra cost to share price. Semi-automated Escrow is done thru BTCrow.
- Remote miner setup
- Remote troubleshooting/
- Incremental overclocking
- Payouts or assist in payouts
- Auditing hashrate vis-a-vis payouts
- Dispute resolution and arbitration, if necessary. [Should be rare as we're all adults that don't need to yell. ]

Refunds: If we can't raise the funds to buy the full 800GH/s, we'll just order smaller modules with less hashrate. Refunds are discouraged because of the chaos caused in Group Buys, but if necessary, you will be refunded before the miner ships, at a 1.5% restock fee. After the miner ships, no refunds are available.

By sending payment, you agree to these Refund terms before purchase.
