I want me a fancy club card.  I have got to get me a few more shares. I am waiting on a cube deal.  If it works out I will get 2 or 3 more  here.  bringing me to 12 or 13  total.

Wow, that's impressive!Thanks Philip! It's also about the hashrate of an original KnC Jupiter.

Therefore, I dub thee a member of the new DZ MC Jupiters Club.

Surprisingly, there's several members that meets this criteria; there's less than 10 but more than 5.

Do we get fancy clubcards and VIP-access Smiley?

Is this true Blackarrow push the ship date for the prospero-x3 to 3/10/2014?

http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/prospero-x-3.html

As I understand it, no. Bobsag3 will get our miners on the original ship date in Feb (as things still stand). The March date is for people who buy from now off the blackarrow site, kind of a batch 1 shipment 2 date.

Please will someone confirm/deny?
Yup. After the next ~2-3 units the date will change tho, and either Thomas or I will update when that happens.

This info below will give us a place to spend the btc we earn from this buy.

Some good news for btc.

 A major internet retailer to take btc for payment:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2013-12-19-newsbtc-overstockcom-to-begin-accepting-bitcoin-second-half-of-2014-377271

 Quote
The announcement comes directly from Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, who spoke to me briefly on Wednesday in an interview by phone. Byrne told me that the company is still working out the logistics of accepting the currency, but notes that they plan to work independently of bitcoin payment processors like Coinbase or BitPay by implementing a proprietary system to manage the transactions. Byrne says Overstock will have no marginal cost in the implementation, so it’s something they’ll keep plugged in. If after a year or two Overstock sees minimal bitcoin purchases, that may be the time to pull that plug.

Quote
This is a hugely important milestone in bitcoin history. An online retailer the magnitude of Overstock surely has the power to become the catalyst in widespread acceptance of the digital currency in the online marketplace, but Byrne noted that at the end of the day, it really all depends on how many users end up paying with bitcoin.

“It will put [Overstock] at a competitive edge if, and only if, the general population starts thinking and using bitcoin,” he said. “We’re willing to take the first step and see.”

This is very good news for long term btc life.  Overstock has large sales and this  will put pressure on other e-tailers to do the same.

just curious.

1. are these miners insured?

2. is the shipment still on time (feb 2014)?

thanks

Hey Bakal,
 
Our miners are always insured on shipment and have business insurance during operations.

bobsag3 just visited them last week or so, and met the entire team in Hong Kong and took pics of their facility and the FPGA simulating the Minion ASIC. It's somewhere in this thread.  Cheesy Everything appears to be on track so far with Black Arrow.

I'm also told that there will be native driver support for Prosperos prior to launch, thanks to a major veteran software programmer in the BTC world who writes well known hardware drivers for ASICs and has been given access to the hardware. I am not at liberty to say which programmer this is at this time, but I believe that if the co-op knew who the programmer was they would be very, very pleased.

Suffice to say: veteran miners all know how important good driver support is in cutting edge miners.

If you were serious though: please let us know. We're moving into facility #2 shortly (since y'all broke facility #1's max capacity) but we're already planning for facility #3, since R17x and other clients already may be close to maxing out facility #2 (6300 square feet) in February/early March.

You guys should just look into buying a giant warehouse, put solar panels on top, and move in there!

2 or 3 locations are safer from disaster's.   you need a couple extra workers  but  fires floods tornados earthquakes concentrate the damage into smaller areas.  3 spots pretty far apart do lower the threat  of complete loss quite a bit.

Frankly  these miners are golden geese so to speak and keeping them safe needs to be a part of the coop's game plan.


BTW I am looking forward to this round starting.  I have 10 shares.  when this goes on line I will have over 600 gh in total with dZcoop.

this better close soon or I'll be poor!

ok. I just had to get 3 more.
2 + 6 + 1 +3 = 12

i hope these come a month or 2 before the Neptunes hit the market!

Hi bluesticker,

Thanks and Welcome Aboard!
This goes for all of our newcomers, and to our co-op veterans back for more. Smiley
Hope you or anyone else doesn't risk putting living expenses into Bitcoin and Bitcoin miners.  Cry

These are all considered high risk investments that your typical, fuddy duddy stocks/bonds conservative investors would run screaming from. For the most part: Bitcoin miners fit the bill of high risk/high reward investors.

As far as the delivery date of February 24: everything still appears to be on track.

Oh, and someone was asking how many Prosperos were sold? I haven't seen the latest numbers but this has been the most successful DZ MC Group Buy Round so far: something like 35-40 TH/s or more. There are more Round 17x funds that haven't been paid for yet, so the co-op's paid hashrate total I have in my sig should be going up this week.

No, Thank you!
I love everything about this Co-op and as a proud degenerate I am happy to invest some cash into such a risky venture. If I visit the States next year I would love to create a little documentary and show the beautiful people who are working so hard behind the scenes of DZMC. You guys truly set the bar (and a very high one at that) for how a BTC group buy/Co-op should work, evolve and improve. Much appreciated!  

Thanks Epicurean for the high praise!

We're just a bunch of like minded nerds mostly staring at screens, cussing out underperforming miners, and collectively laughing at some of the absurdities in the world of Bitcoin mining (like that asso guy trying to scam people by straight up copying R17 and our site to try to fool people). There's 9 of us on the team so far (soon to be 15 with hired help so that we'll have redundant 24/7 IT support), with 6 company founders for our crypto umbrella corporation.

If we do set the bar: it's because I'm a network engineer that loves redundancy and that we've always operated this co-op in an open, collaborative and transparent manner. Also, not to be overlooked is all of the co-op members input which have led to improvements and new offerings: like R21 with Antminer, by request from R15-16 and other co-op members.

It *may* take us a while to get to all PMs and support tickets - it's just thomas and I working on those, at the moment - but we really do try to listen and learn from our co-op members.

If you were serious though: please let us know. We're moving into facility #2 shortly (since y'all broke facility #1's max capacity) but we're already planning for facility #3, since R17x and other clients already may be close to maxing out facility #2 (6300 square feet) in February/early March.

Im not sure if I have seen an answer to this but I guess its important its asked.

Since China is essentially cracking down on Bitcoin exchanges, and since blackarrow is a chinese company... from one report I saw business' have until jan 31st to comply.

Do we know if this will have any impact on the ability to pay for and receive miners??
