SebastianJu contacted punin to get an BTC address to send to, but there was no answer, so we decided to give the (small) funds to Sean's Outpost https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3164621 https://blockchain.info/address/1XEGAEjoy2cc8urafTTjRAnoXkshFc1iY

I hope this was ok for all participants.

Thanks to all and have a good time!

Why would you tip someone because they did what they said they were going to do?  Silly...

So now we are paying people extra for not screwing us over?


It's little bit like what you do in restaurants, if you like the service and there is no spit in the soup you might leave little extra money on the table.

bump for Campaign closing. Buy the best performing ASIC-Company so far a beer (or two)!

Maybe others take an example how to do it right.

Show them that the bitcoin community recognizes the difference between being treated like bumbling idiots and being treated like a valued customer.

We know how to honor integrity and only get toxic when its appropriate.

what other chips can overclock 30% or more without extreme cooling mods (just airflow)?  Grin

I agree Bitfury team is awesome. Now they need to jump on 28nm and price their miners to crush all competitors.

I have to say that is huge..  Many may say why congratulate someone for doing what they are supposed to??  In this game it is not the norm..  Can't wait for my pups to get in!

ASICMINER delivered on time, on spec, and without taking preorder money (they did take investors for the solo mining operation/development, but the products that came out of that did not take orders until they were in production & shipping).

Although #3 probably doesn't count, since ASICMINER is more of a manufacturer and then the customer service is left up to the retailers.


I'm pretty impressed with BitFury though, it's nice to see a company not radically alter their specs after taking in a bunch of money.

Cheer 1: delivered in time
Cheer 2: delivered the ordered good (over-delivered actually)
Cheer 3: has customer service

Business as usual one may think, BUT: Nico sells ASIC-Miners! An economic sector in which points 1 to 3 are totally unknown, unexpectable and maybe even undesirable.

To my knowledge, BFSB is the only one in this business to date, that kept what they promised to their customers.

In recognition of this and as a small thank-you gift, I would like to pass some BTCs to Nico, to be used to take out his team to a well-earned traditional evening of glutony and barbaric booze-up (as far as I know they should be mostly descendants of vikings and thus familiar with such customs).

If you would like to join my little fundraising campaign:

SebastianJu, a respected and trusted member of the German bitcoin community, will post an BTC address in this thread where the funds can be sent to. He will contact Nico in mid october to get an address from him and send the BTCs over.
