What will be the purpose the scrypt miner?
Will it be pointed at an auto-switch pool that pays out in BTC and therefore contributes to the weekly distributions?
Or will it be used to amass a collection of some scrypt coins for other purposes?

Update on our ordered 90MH/s scrypt miner.

A Message To Customers!
After much deliberation we believe we have come up with the perfect solution to increasing the value of our batch 1 orders, albeit an obvious solution, but the best one nonetheless. As stated previously we do not want to affect the development of the Vipers any more than we have and are certain it is best not to make any further changes to their production. There have been many websites popping up recently with lofty promises and no proof of their legitimacy or development and we do not think it’s a good idea to alter manufacturing based these possibilities as we are focused on getting our Vipers shipped to our customers as soon as possible. With that said and regardless of their legitimacy we understand competition is inevitable and by the time our devices have released the market will be different than what we all hoped it would be when we first started. Granted, we are still fully confident the Vipers will make ROI but we also want to make sure our batch 1 customers are getting the best value for their money and here is our plan for this:
First off, we are in the early stages of developing a cloud mining service, this will allow customers to pay for hosted mining power, the pros and cons of this will depend on your personal preferences of course so we will continue producing batches of miners for those who prefer to maintain their own devices. Now on to the good news, all batch 1 customers will get free hashing power from our cloud; we do not yet have a date as to when we expect it to be operational so for now we are simply saying as soon as possible. Exact hash rates will depend on the state of the market and network at the time so we will make sure we scale accordingly, but rest assured we are promising a substantial amount for both 16 Mh/s and 90 Mh/s customers. As you can imagine we want the service up and running as soon as possible and as a result of this when it is first brought online there be limited availability so we will start off with just batch 1 customers being able to use it and open it up to the public shortly afterwards.
Secondly in addition to free shipping and being able to order first in batch 2 we are pleased to announce we are giving you 10% off any future batch of your choice. Thank you for your continued support and rest assured we are committed to bringing the best value possible for our customers. We will keep you posted on further developments so stay tuned!

Hey nonnakip,
We were really glad you dropped by and were able to meet you in person. Enjoyed the conversation! The boys are a bit more motivated to get done with some of their "boring" studies so they can make room for learning more linux.
I know when one travels, there is only a limited amount of time to see and do all that one wants to.
Thanks for spending some time with us, and thank you OgNasty for sending him over.

I should have a couple working boards in the office tomorrow morning, hopefully I will have something up for demo by the evening time.
I don't want to let any cats out of bags just yet, but the initial reports on power usage on the RevB are apparently even better than our best estimates. If the power is what we are seeing in the lab on an actual board, there's going to be some mighty happy people in the near future. I'm not counting the chickens until I have a board in my hand and a kill-a-watt plugged into the wall, though... so keeping fingers crossed.

Looks like we should be hearing some good news soon.
Policy changed when 75% reached. This happens before last distribution. Last distribution used 50/50 donation split.
I noticed that in the donation - thank you again for all your work! do we wait the full duration of the poll or can that be implemented soon (like maybe after today's donation)?

I forget the policy (though I'm sure it's on the policy page - just at work and am being too lazy to look it up..)
I noticed that the poll is basically finished:
no: 232 (1.0%)
yes: 18023 (79.5%)
not yet voted: 4413 (19.5%)
abstain: 2332
only 19.5% left to vote and that's not enough to swing the decision.
Therefore, my question - do we wait the full duration of the poll or can that be implemented soon (like maybe after today's donation)?

We also have some BFL Singles for sale. 
If I wanted to get in on the pool, what do you guys suggest for mining on a budget?
Antminer S1
If I wanted to get in on the pool, what do you guys suggest for mining on a budget? Currently only handling with GPU's, sold the jalepeno and Bitfurys to get a house, now wish I could have both!
Thanks and happy to be onboard as a NastyFan!

Can some one check the pool? ... been noticing that my miners have been failing over off and on again since the weekend. Unless this expected maintenance (be nice to be notified JIC) think that you might have that "bug" back again.
The P2Pool node runs without any problems the last several weeks. Today I restart P2Pool node after OpenSSL update. But otherwise there are no problems on server side.
I have scripts running to monitor P2Pool connections to handle connection-DOS. But this is not triggered since original instance. Does your miner report errors? What are they?
Extra info: The main server handling nastyfans Bitcoin transactions runs Debian 6 (squeeze) and was not vulnerable to recent OpenSSL bug.

I received my Nasty Fan coin today. It is simply stunning. An awesome coin for so many reasons.
It is beautifully done.
Thanks OgNasty and nonnative for a great Nasty ecosystem.
I will update my article later today to note I got my coin and how much I like it.

I just voted to keep the donations to OgNasty at 75%.
The reason being is that it allows for faster repayment of debt which makes it easier for him to secure new funding for future projects.

Great work.
Great work.
A member ask me about the count of fans we have in nastyfans. I decide to publish this data. Maybe other members have interest also.
