Topic: Round 15/16 KnC Jupiter, DZ MC. Please move comments and ?s to this thread. Thx. - page 15. (Read 14686 times)

Thank you again for the replies. I started this topic to be proactive as I have seen other rounds barely muddle through. In one I couldn't take it any longer and made a suggestion but they were so locked in to a choice as they moved at snail speed in a BTC world.

What I am not interested in is messing this round with tapeoutware. That can be left for other rounds.

I am interested in is adding more power at a lower price point. There are a lot of intelligent guys here that can run numbers and can think out of the box. Sure lots of us are spouting the same old song starting with just buy and hold. If I did that I would be sitting on a huge pot but the only reason why I bought was to mine. Stupid, crazy me. Currently I'm thinking of maximizing this round and also hopefully getting others in this round more proactive.

I see that the desire of this round will be to leave it as is and wait until an Antminer one opens or buy one and have bobsang3 host it. As I said the world moves like snail compared to BTC.

The 4 jupiters are hashing and hope they turn out to be low maintainance. Thank you.

I'd want to start scraping some btc back from this round, but you're right, transaction fees will be a waste.

There are other great groupbuyers out there who set out from the getgo to reinvest part of the mined btc into new equipment.

Maybe dz could ask us to vote about that kind of model for r17

But I agree: 1. bobsag3 is heroic for letting us use his miner (how do we pay him back?)

2. Bitmain S1 was proven and worth having 2 weeks ago, but not now (so we should watch them for price drops (as if))

I also think dzmc would be a tiny bit stretched just at this minute to introduce new makes of hardware.

First I would like to thank bobsang3 again for his generous action of using his own knc miners to keep us hashing 110%. Right after returning from a halfway around the world trip to China he forgone sleep instead to get us mining. He put the most reliable ones on this round and looks like we've been up for about 24 hours. Thank you bobsang3!

Now my proposal.

Looks like by 12/15/13 a payoff date we would have enough to get a S1. To me fees will eat into such a small payment for the GB individual shares and best paid on the next round. How about if we add to our hashing power instead with the mined coins?

Disclaimer I do not have a S1 or anything to do with the Antminer company or personally know anyone affiliated with the company. I am just a crazy miner at heart.

Any comment? I would prefer flames to silence even if you have zero vested in this. I also know what I ask is too short notice but the S1 is in production and probably will still be around couple weeks from now.

Let's prove group 15/16 can make decisions. For or against please post some opinions. Don't care either way too.

This is the second time I'm posting and the first time got zero response. I would like to hear from the coordinators too.

As bobsang3 is about to throw everything except the kitchen sink to help another round just to get them hashing what's wrong with increasing our hashing a bit now using the S1?

Thank you.

Thank you for baby sitting these guys. I thought the quality control on the knc's were Better than this. Good job bobsang3

Looks like 3 crashed again...

For now I swapped it out with my personal nov jupiter, so we will not loose any hash rate, while I RMA the modual. I can't call them today as they are already closed.

Good enough for you?

Nothing like the smell of magic smoke...

Will they mail you the part?

Hopefully isolated and not a design flaw.

No problem, just send #3 back to KNC for replacement. And tell them to post here about that.
I dont believe in words after R9-12 and R15-16 now.
