Everything is a go, price is unchanged at $1112 per unit. Anyone that wants to add can still do so tonight.
Howdy...On the phone now, will post in a few minutes.
thank you standing by.

we still waiting on kilo?
If I buy 4 or 5, can they be sent straight to sidehack for hosting?
it can be but it will cost more to do so
I know we will have some coming to :
NJ me >>>>>>> 3 or 4
TN Kilo17 >>>>> more then 10
Sidehack is MO >>> ?
I am not fully aware of shipping info....
Ie : 1112 to one address or 1112 to multiple addresses
If in HerbPean and Valkir are Montreal I will get their two in NJ.
@ PPOC just hang in there as Full confirms from Kilo17 and from Yan of blockC are not in yet.
Should post all the ID's and BTC address here, so we all can see, for transparency reasons. That way, other's can confirm and view the record of the transaction if they wanted too so there's nothing to hide.
yes that gets done
I will collect shipping info from everyone and keep that hidden. but all payments will be shown and linked
say 2.50001123 from pikachuy tx id =
and 2.50001124 from philipma1957 tx id =
and 2.50001125 from valkir tx id =
etc.
I just sent an email to Yan of blockC asking about confirm of the final btc address he has said I can phone him to confirm it when the time comes.
I did this because I will be handling OPM (other people's money) and while I trust kilo17 with my money I still need to do due diligence . Once I release the funds to blockC's address it is on them to send out the miners.
They have been good to all buyers I know, but I still need to check to be sure.

Just making sure I'm not missing anything for the group buy as its after 6pm ET, standing buy to get PM with payment amount for 2 units plus a PI controller shipped to NY.

I have no problem with miners being sent straight here for hosting. I'd need to know either who has how many, or if the individual boxes are tagged with your handle (via a c/o or something). Anyone wanting the hosting option can contact me directly for more details. That should not affect payment or escrow in any way. I'm not officially involved in the group buy, just kinda tagging along.
pikachuy - that's similar to what we're working on (but haven't manufactured in bulk yet); my new board has our standard 10-pin IO header for advanced interfacing, and will mount up either our standard screw terminals or about a dozen 6-pin PCIe jacks. But like I said, stock's about a month out. Right now I really don't have any breakout boards to offer for anything.

I have some Avalon6 already in hosting; the most recent ones were put with a Dell 750W server PSU per blade. They're running just fine far as I can tell.
I have half an S3+ running on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 750W supply right now, the other blade went bad. I'll move the Kill-A-Watt over and get back with a reading.
You are absolutely right. The Dell PowerEdge is registering (and the miner is on a 12 gauge line I ran for miners closer to the breaker box) 122.1VAC, .98PF, ~59.9/s, 248VA, 244 watts, 2.04 amps. So, if it had both hashing boards the current would be in the 4.08 ballpark compared to the cheap supplies 4.62 amps. Cheap supplies are running at 113% of the Dell server supply. Wow. Thanks for point it out.
Wait, I'm rethinking this. I made an error looking at the current of course as it's out of phase with the voltage. I've gone to the Kill-A-Watt dollars per day running cost and am waiting for numbers....
I've doubled the S3+ with the Dell PowerEdge cost per day as it's only running one blade - not accurate I know as the other doesn't use two controller cards but I'm only counting one fan on the S3+ half. Now, cost per day running the full S3+ getting 457GH/s avg times 100 divided by the cost per day of the ½ S3+ getting 225GH/s avg with the Dell at .98pf is 79%. So, the cheap supplies at pf .7 according to the Kill-A-Watt is more efficient by 11%. A true test would be to swap out the Dell PowerEdge for a cheap supply and see what it costs.
I remember now. When I got the Dell I did a Kill-A-Watt test and it didn't power as cheaply as my modified cheap supplies. The difficulty is the question if the power meter correctly calculates the power factor or not. If not then the cheap supplies would be worse.

Okay At kilo17 lets say I collect btc for 10 miners or 25btc
I get all mailing info etc.
And I am ready to send the 25 btc ..
I do not have a btc address to send to.
So if you pm me with details of the btc address I need to vet it to some degree.
I want to be sure I am sending 25 btc or whatever we collect to the correct btc addy.

Phil,
Valkir will be in touch for our Avalon. He said he would talk to you tonight.
Thank you again !!

Done I contacted Phil.
Kilo17 I dont know how much Phil wanted himself but you can had 2 to it. 1 for me 1 for herbpean.
Phil will confirm.yes Valkir and HerbPean will have their 2 shipped to my house in NJ and I will get them up to Montreal
So that is 2
I have decided on 2 so 2+2 = 4 to my home in NJ
I have some confusion on shipping are all USA orders going to be dropped shipped to kilo17?
at 1112usd then you ship them out? Would a secondary shipping be needed?
I get that Valkir and HerbPean are in Montreal and I am going to charge them as little as possible to get the two from NJ to Can.
@ the guy in South Africa KeezAza if I get a fifth I could ship it to you but I need to see how much extra it will be. 1112 + ?
Fast check with us post office if I send it with 300 insurance priority express it is 95 usd to ship
so you would be 1112 + 95 = 1207 usd
Thank you for the offer.
I am going to have to give this offer a miss due to RSA weak currancy right now. I was hopeing it would strengthing to R15.80/ $, but instead it chooses to stay @ R16.60/$.
Power factor should be as close to 1 as possible. A good server PSU will have active PFC on the input, which typically yields a PF of 0.97 or better. 0.7 is pretty bad and if you run too much power at that level your utility provider will hate you. My bill goes up 1% for every 1% my PF is below 90% (averaged for the whole shop).

I wish I had stock right now, but we won't for another month or I'd probably offer a discount deal for participation within this group buy. We're working on an interface board that's compatible with DPS800 and DPS1200 edge-connector server PSUs, probably the ones kilo just talked about. Maybe next month.

Hi sidehack, you talking about something like this? www.ebay.com/itm/291653035822 Found it while browsing around for my DPS1200. If you have the same capability, then I rather buy from a fellow member =)

When you do please PM me and I'll buy. For the PowerEdge I hacked a couple of terminal lugs in place but can't really trust them.

With active PFC, yeah. It actually uses a boost converter off rectified mains and constantly adjusts the current draw to be proportional to voltage draw, scaled against the power draw required to maintain output regulation. You get a bit of HF component and the nonlinearity of your rectifiers but otherwise it's pretty darn good (and that's not hard to filter out). I haven't measured directly but if you can find the 80PLUS sheets on 'em they'll have the expected power factor listed, and all the ones I've seen are well over 0.9. A regular passive PFC is cheaper and less complex but for any kind of high-power load will never get anywhere near what an active PFC can do. That's also why server PSUs (and high-end ATX) don't have a 120/240 switch like a lot of old ATX supplies, and contributes to increased efficiency off higher input voltage; whatever the input voltage, it all goes to the same high-volt DC bus by merit of the boost converter.
