Some Points of Discussion:
For those of you who missed the live chat, I offered Fans who successfully completed the operator plan an upgrade to Monarchs. They will also be receiving 50% of the coins mined with that equipment. So far, Bees Brothers has taken me up on the offer and will host 2 Monarchs. If any other the fans currently hosting equipment want to take advantage of the offer, please let me know.- NastyMining Fan Hosting Plan Upgrade
Black Arrow Order
Our Black Arrow order has finally arrived. I'm in talks with Squirrel Dearing to host one of the 2 X3 units. If there is a trusted member out there who would be willing to host the other X3 in exchange for receiving 50% of the mined coins, please let me know.
Expanding NastyMining Fan Operator Plan
I also made the mistake of ordering 10 X1 units personally. While I paid >$4,000 for this order, I have no desire to operate 10 X1's. They would take up too much space. I did plug one in to do some testing and was pleased to see that they are totally silent. I thought this might make for a great opportunity to donate these miners to NastyMining and use them to expand the Fan Hosting Plan to new members. What I'd like to do is the same 50/50 deal. I will personally donate an X1 to anyone trustworthy who is willing to operate them on behalf of NastyMining for 1 year and receive 50% of the mined coins. At the end of the year, you can do whatever you want with it. These units will be setup ready to go. All you will need to do is plug them into the wall, and plug them in to your router with an ethernet cable. They use around $4-$9/month in electricity depending on your rate and operate silently. This would be a great opportunity for someone new to help NastyMining and earn some trust in the process. Let me know. Thanks!

Wow lots of activity. Great to see Nasty not sitting still.
Merry Christmas everyone, and a Nasty™ New Year!

Merry Christmas! PM me your address and I'll send you a Nasty present.
My present arrived in the mail yesterday! A very nice Nasty T-Shirt. Thank you very much.

Awesome. I like the username generator.
Bitmain Antminer S5
I picked up our Antminer S5 tonight and got it all setup. I've got it underclocked for temperature/noise reasons so it's only getting about 1.05TH/s, but it's off and running with no issues thus far. It's mining with the username AntminerS5-PoP if you wanted to check the miner page to see how it's running.

It is also linked from the main nastyfans sign in page.
There are many plans to clean things up and add more statistics and individual miner information. Right now I create the minimum to make NastyPool look more official.

The feedback we had was to have it on a Saturday and I was unavailable yesterday. I am thinking we will do it next Saturday. I'm still open to feedback on a time. I was also hoping our Antminer S5 would have arrived by now, but it looks like I will not be able to pick it up until tomorrow evening.
I did receive an Antminer S5 review unit from Bitmain, and just published my review here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/review-bitmain-antminer-s5-914278
The NastyFans iOS App has been updated to v1.3 and contains quite a few new Nasty links. It is available now for free in Apple's App Store. Version 2.0 with the ability to check the Bitcoin and NastyFans prices from your iOS Today View is still under development, as I've been having some difficulties working out the bugs.
Live Year End NastyChat:
I would love it if we could see our best participation ever for our first Live Year End NastyChat. I would love to answer questions and hear community feedback on how this project could be improved. I am thinking a good time would be January 5th @ 1:00pm PST, but am open to changing that in order to accommodate members who wish to attend.

Update from BFL:
Quote from: BFL
Butterfly Labs is finally back to full control of operations! Watch for an email about your order very soon.
In case you are not aware, on September 18, 2014 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requested an ex parte order for a temporary injunction against Butterfly Labs. On September 19, 2014 the United States District Court of the Western District of Missouri in Case No. 4:14-cv-00815-BCW approved the order and installed a Temporary Receiver to freeze assets, among other duties. This resulted in a complete, but temporary, shutdown of our operations.
On December 12, 2014, the Court rejected the FTC's arguments for a preliminary injunction against Butterfly Labs. On December 23rd the Court directed the orderly wind-down of the Temporary Receivership and handed control of the company and assets back to Butterfly Labs. Bank and bitcoin accounts are expected to be returned to us by December 31st.
During the shutdown, we were allowed to manufacture products but not test them. Now that we are in full control, we are resuming testing, shipping of Monarch cards, and activation of Cloud Mining contracts.
Please see the Status of Current Operations for more information
Thank you for your patience during this difficult time. We are committed to serving our customers as quickly as possible. Watch for an email about your order very soon.

Glad it arrived! Mine like hell.
Anytime on Saturday works for me.

I think a weekend date maybe bring higher attendance.
Anyone want to propose another date/time?
Our SP20 has arrived and it is up and mining for us.

Monarch Update:
We've had 2 more Monarchs die on us. I've put in RMA requests with BFL. I'm not sure why our Monarchs are suddenly dropping like flies, especially with the cooler temperatures. Hopefully BFL starts honoring RMA requests soon... Here are some pics I snapped of our failed Monarchs, including 1 that is on the way out (red background).
New Miners:
Some good news, our SP20 & S5 will be arriving next week.
Donations to NastyPool Update:
I've decided to redirect distributions from the 250 seats I had going to NastyPool. Instead of continuing to save funds for a future lottery, these distributions will now be donated to the NastyPoP address to provide additional BTC for NastyPoP miners.
NastyMining Fan Operator Plan Upgrade:
In an effort to continue trying to decentralize our mining operation and keep community members involved in the spirit of NastyMining, I've decided to offer current operators an upgrade opportunity as their previous plan ends and they take possession of their equipment. As an upgrade of sorts, current operators have the option of paying for shipping to have one of our Monarchs sent to them. They will have to provide a PSU, and will be taking responsibility for keeping the units running for 1 year. In exchange, they have the option of using a --balance option with their miner in order to split mined coins 50/50 between themselves/NastyMining. They will be required to mine on NastyPool for both themselves and NastyMining. I realize that this will have a negative effect on donations for NastyFans but feel it is in our best interests long term.
Moving Forward:
It has been a difficult year for sure that had disastrous effects on the valuation of NastyFans seats and led to a major shortcoming in mining expansion. However, great progress was made on NastyPool and our 5oz coins. There are also ambitious lottery plans and I'd still love to move into the automated escrow business. While all of these things take time and community support, I think we will eventually get to where we need to be. With the potential expansion of our Fan Operator Plan opening up capacity, it puts us in a great position to add more efficient equipment in the future. We currently still owe 1.5 BTC for the 17 ASICMINER shares (awaiting transfer confirmation), which doesn't give us much in the way of funds to purchase equipment but I am hoping that sales from our 5oz coins will solve this problem in the near term for us, with alternate services helping fill the gap in the future. I'm awaiting 11 more pre-orders for the 5oz coins, and have assurances from 2 people that orders will be placed soon. That still leaves us with 9 pre-orders keeping us from having these coins ready for regular sale. Please consider pre-ordering if you are able.
