Topic: Closed[GB] 400 GH/s Bitfurys October Delivery 1BTC share - page 2. (Read 3915 times)

its very tempting

I am confused. The math doesn't add up.  How is this only 98 shares at 1BTC?

wow, this revised pricing seems to be alot better! but wait.  i might be tempted to buy a few shares here.

Bitfury currently ship only to Europe. Does "currently" cover October shipments? If yes, you must have some arrangement where you receive the unit in a european address and then re-ship to Canada. Wouldn't there be additional costs like shipment / insurance and perhaps import duties to Canada?

Sorry, I am mixing up KnC and Bitfury

Can you link to $6995 price?

http://www.bitfurystrikesback.com/product/400gh-miner-october-2013/    7500 Euro + a forwarding charge of 10%

Correct I am not charged VAT

EDIT:  https://megabigpower.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=53   I can buy quite a bit cheaper here, I should be abler to buy for 98 BTC

will adjust OP

Megabigpower will be offering Bitpay soon as well, if Bitpay is not setup before shares are sold out will wait for Bitpay to be available

The price on their website is us$6995 + shipping. If I am not mistaken, you have them shipped to Canada, so you shouldn't be charged VAT. Can you help me understand your amount of €7575 ?

My price for buying and forwarding is 7575 Euros plus shipping which at current rate is about 117 BTC + shipping. Are they cheaper somewhere else?

I will buy some shares


Prefer BTC to keep it simple


Probably not,those were the terms established from the beginning, and I lowered my commission from 6% to 2% there after the 6 machine sold.

The extra machines are ordered because of popular demand, and this is a service to smaller investors who would not otherwise be able to invest in mining. And is a win win situation for the members and I.

There are no guarantees that any devices will ship and I have quite a few hours and BTC  invested already and will be investing quite a bit more before machines even ship.

Welcome

There are now 17 Jupiters in the other group buy ... will you be lowering your management fees there accordingly?

I did ask this in that thread weeks ago but was ignored.

The us$ price is exactly my issue too. That's why I suggested to refund the unused BTC after a purchase.

current bitfury group buy: 400gh / 119shares * 0.95(fee) = 3.19 ghash/sec per btc
current knc group buy: 400gh / 30shares / 2.6btc * 0.98(fee) = 5 ghash/sec per btc

bitfury price: 119 shares * 1 btc/share = 119 btc * 87 usd/btc = 10,353 usd (should the price per share be changed)
knc price: 30 shares * 2.6btc = 78 btc * 87 = 6786 usd --> nice

clearly knc have the advantage.  hope knc will really deliver.

Since BitFurys are priced in euros, will you accept payment in euros (SEPA/paypal)?

this is the cheapest among the bitfury group buy in terms of ghash/s per bitcoin, though it would really be nice if the operator would lower the maintenance/operation fee.  i'm interested to buy some shares here to diversify my investment.  so guys, if we made past 4 units of bitfury, the maintenace fee would be lowered from 5%.  come and buy shares.

Bought 5 shares @ 1 BTC

5 BTC from 1JiLKmD8q6oP44rYofKugL4GSRE3YTxEW3 to 1Lzp614A1teQRyEcpakMLWhoEfwfJqBEhB
Tx 93d855e4bfeada190356de98da965cb408d295078af499866e06c7c543d04353

Thanks!

May I suggest to buy a machine when you've collected 119 BTC, and return the unused BTC to the participants of that machine right after buying to prevent issues.

Are you going to participate yourself in the GB ?

Not expecting to sell 12 devices in this GB, so commission is higher.  If I sell more than 4 would lower commission rate

Yes Bitfurys are more expensive than KNC Jupiters, they claim to use less power. Not sure if that compensates for the higher price?

You're taking 5% this time? The KNCs were 2%.  Looks like the cost per GHs is a little higher here too.

Why a Bitfury GB when you have a large KNC Jupiter GB and Bitfury's are more expensive?  The biggest reason is diversity, anything can go wrong with Asic preorders, betting on two different horses mitigates risk.

Closed and Locked Due To Lack of Interest, will return any BTC invested
