Sorry about any confusion. Also, if you didn't hear, December orders slipped to January but January orders supposedly haven't been affected.

November 3 update: This R8B GB is still open! The share price is back up to $70. You can get a refund if you want or you can just hang out until we get enough BTC for another module. This is currently the only DZ MC GB being run at this time.
FLASH UPDATE, 10/16, 10:45 PM HST: I'm in a Skype conversation with Giorgio from Bitmine in another window. He's confirming a NEW Halloween Sale: 15% off Regular Prices! Therefore prices have been reduced for our at-cost R8 GB share prices by 15%! The new R8 share price has been reduced from $70 to $60!
This is the first Public Notice of this Promotion, since I tend to have discussions with various ASIC manufacturers when these kinds of things come up.
10/28 update: Bitmine Rig Rounds 7 and 8 are now CLOSED and PAID. You can still buy shares in this rig in R8B, however.

Back by popular demand! How am I supposed to keep the shelves stocked if you guys/girls keep buying everything?
Re-introducing Bitmine to the DZ MC! We almost bought a BM Rig for R2 until we received a Day 1 HF buyout offer we couldn't refuse.
Round 7 is the host Bitmine Rig for Round 8 and this new Round 8B Round which maxes out at 600GH/s nominal hashrate.
* If we fail to sell enough shares before Oct. 31 to secure 15% off pricing for at least one expansion module, then all R8B buyers will be refunded with no restock fee.
These R8 upgrade modules will ship at the exact same time as the R7 Bitmine Rig.
