http://www.dzminercoop.com/Thank you to all of our co-op members, customers, and to all of the DZ MC co-op leaders (thomas_s, -Redacted-, and bobsag3)! We've had an amazing level of growth and redundancy added to our co-op while providing some of the best ASIC pre-order deals in the world.
With an estimated 450-500 members on six continents and four island chains, we now appear to be the largest, most active, and most diverse Bitcoin Miners Cooperative in the English speaking world!
Mahalo everyone!

Round 1 and Round 1B -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296199.0;all HashFast Batch 1 BabyJet MPP Included – CLOSED
Upgrade – CLOSED*
News: If you didn't hear, there was a HashFast Baby Jet promo: Round 1B. *You're allotted 1 R1B share for each share you
purchased in Round 1. Because people have been away, busy, or out of BTC, a compromise was reached where someone else may
have bought your share but you are allowed to buy your share back at $45, a $2 markup, as long as you send the buyer (via
me) the BTC for your upgrade share(s) *before* the Promo Upgrade parts ship in late November/early December.
This order is paid and confirmed. Order #991, 419th miner paid. Everything appears to be on track as far as delivery in
early November, but slight delays *are* possible.

Round 2 and Round 2B -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2936589
EDIT: The first section is actually the very first Round for the DZ MC.HashFast Batch 1 BabyJet MPP Included – CLOSED
Upgrade – CLOSED
News: This order paid and confirmed. Everything appears to be on track as far as delivery in early November, but slight
delays *are* possible. This was originally a Bitmine GB with a December delivery, but I was approached by a friend with an
offer we couldn't refuse: a Day 1, 64th miner paid, Order 616.
This was a prototype Group Buy where we voted on what miner to buy! Two gents also granted me their votes, to be voted last.
We voted on Bitmine originally, but then I opened up our voting again and the 1 to 2 month earlier delivery with MPP sealed
the deal with a unanimous switch of votes. Also, we raised about $400 worth of BTC for a less fortunate member of the co-op
from Round 1. thomas_s, myself, and an anonymous Group Buyer from Asia donated these funds, which I believe was a forum
first!

Rounds 3 and 4:
Rounds 3 – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299171.0
HashFast Batch 2 Sierra MPP – CLOSED
News: Not only did Round 3 close, it closed with a fury!
It was an $11.5K at-cost ASIC Industry first Flash Sale GB that only took 12 hours to reach capacity! Vetted Co-GBC Thomas
S. and I teamed up on this one. We had the offer fully organized and listed within an hour of the email blast from HashFast.
We believe this industrial class Rig sellout to be the fastest GB forum sellout in this forum's short history.
Round 4 – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299171.0
HashFast Batch 2 Sierra No MPP – CLOSED
News: **This Flash Sale offer actually ran *96 hours longer* than anywhere else in the world, thanks to our co-op's buying
power and through a phone call to John S., the VP of Marketing at HashFast.** I secured this deal with a ~50% down payment
on about $18K worth of miners for R3/R4.
We were able to get exclusive extended Flash Sale pricing thanks to the power of our co-op, and thanks to what Thomas calls
my "asskissing abilities," if you'll pardon my uncouth language. (We don't take ourselves too seriously around here.)

News: Hashing away in Missouri at our world class ASIC specific, professional, insured and vetted miner hosting facility run

News: Ordered and PAID. Delivery is expected sometime in December. This company will be using the same Avalon based Gen 1
rigs, for the most part, so that they don't have to re-invent the wheel to deliver this Rig
==
Round 8 –
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3371292BitMine CoinCraft Rig –
CLOSEDNews: Enough BTC on hand for at least 1 upgrade module which will be used in the same R7 Rig. Delivery is expected sometime in December. This company will be using the same Avalon based Gen 1 rigs, for the most part, so that they don't have to re-invent the wheel to deliver this Rig. This Round is at 15% off Round 7 prices, as part of a Bitmine Halloween Sale, which the DZ MC was first to announce to the world.
10/31 update: We ended up buying 75% of our hashrate with only 47 shares bought so those that bought in R8 get extra hashrate at no charge thanks to BTC appreciating, and us passing on the extra purchased hashrate to you!

CLOSED12/1 News: This Round has been refunded. Bullet Runs are cutting edge tech. The replacement boards that came in were insufficient to both replace bad R9-12 boards, *and* provide enough hashrate for R13. We apologize for this, and have refunded R13 buyers and have given them a coupon voucher for future or current DZ MC GBs.

CLOSEDThis Round was also refunded. However, this refund was due to advice from legal counsel. Sometimes I charge ahead when I should slow down. We refunded the BTC equivalent of about $60K for this one Round alone due to a number of issues regarding murky legality in the US regarding crypto currencies and their possible regulation. Sorry, about this.
However, Round 14 lives on as the forum's first Robocoin ATM service operation as a pro arm of our new Bitcoin umbrella corporation:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/open-robocoin-btc-atm-operating-services-available-in-us-and-internationally-330662You must purchase an entire ATM or set of ATMs for us to offer you this service. This straight service offering instead of a GB method for BTC ATMs satisfies our legal counsel.

News: bobsag3 - owner of Miner Hosting LLC, and my business partner in our new pro arm - couldn't wait for me to post this (was sleeping at the time) so he went ahead and posted his first Rig GB! Like DZ MC GBs tend to do: this one also sold out quickly. I believe this set a forum record for fastest sellout.
Neptunes are scheduled for a Q1/Q2 release. Word is: late March/early April is the expected ship date (but this is no guarantee).

News: We made it to page 3 of this thread on the GB forum before we were banished the spammy hinterland that is the alt-currency forum here.
We have 8 test units w/ 4 GPUs each (32 GPUs total) that are serving as the test beds for this Round. Should be hashing about January 15 at our 2nd miner hosting facility.
