Topic: [SOLD OUT] Ninja Group Buy .35BTC=30GH - 30 ANTs + Day 1 Netpune [0/300] - page 10. (Read 19048 times)

Things should start to stabilize, all 30 are in the cab and the temporary workers are heading home.  The last 6 were a #@$%#@$%@# to install. We had to play some tricks to keep each of our 30AMP 208V 3-phase circuits from triggering warnings and alarms (extra power supplies to improve efficiency).  We're all set for our first payout; I'm going to be using the Electrum wallet's import CVS feature to craft the transaction.

We had an impromptu meetup today with one of the guys that run MineCntrl; they have a really cool group buy hashrate monitor they're working on that we're looking at using. Also we've been invited to the BTC Guild private pool server, so we'll have a better pool uptime and be protected against DDOS. I'm slowly moving all the workers over.

Power supplies are getting hard to find.  We loaded up two shopping carts worth at Fry's electronics, paid in Bitcoin with the help of a local group buy member's credit card. Met two different Alt-coin miners while raiding both of the local Fry's for power supplies.  I'm thinking a 50 GPU cabinet would be fun for destroying the latest scam coins.

 

Looks like we have 30 machines running.  A couple are in super turbo mode! 

 

3 shares group 2, cheers

Bought 1 share for Group 2

All included like before.  We will very likely be able to lower the group buy one hosting fees after Group Buy #3; although we have to make sure we are covering the rent.


They are all set to 375Mhz, a safe mild overclock that is easy on power (allowing us to fit them all in the cab's power allocation).

Ah, apologies, hadn't appreciated one was per week and the other per month.

10 Shares for Group 2:

Bought one shares in group 2.

Group Buy #1 fees:  $44.99 per week, about $195/mo, but the Neptune is hosted totally free.
Group Buy #2 fees:  $34.63 per week, $149.99/mo; the group buy will be responsible for the Neptune's hosting fees when it arrives.


Once they go up to the public everyone will pay the same price.   We're extending the .33 offer to group buy #1 owners.

Very interested but a couple of questions:

1. Hosting fees - is 149.99/Antminer correct? I thought group buy 1 was charging $44.99 per Antminer?

2. How long is the 0.33 offer rate available?  Will it still be available after the public announcement?

Thanks for all your work so far.

Bought two shares in group 2. Please use same payout address as mine from the first batch.

I'm going to take a few days off to go snowboarding up in Colorado where I can get my relax on once we wrap up Group Buy #2.

So the hosting cost dropped a bit with the GB2.  Any chance that might effect GB1s hosting costs?   

On another note... when do you plan on sleeping next?  Mid March maybe?   

We've ordered the cabinet, miners, and power supplies for group buy #2.  We're anticipating a build out date of Thursday January 23rd. Group buy 2 will consist of 30 Antminers + a 2nd batch KNC Neptune.  Hosting for each Antminer is going to cost $149/mo.  The hosting costs for the Neptune are estimated at $599/mo, actual costs will be determined when the power requirements for the Neptune are released.  We can't guarantee the start date of this one, but we promise to get everything up and running as fast as humanly possible.  The thread will be posted tomorrow after we complete the install of Group Buy #1 hardware. When the thread gets posted tomorrow evening, shares will be offered to the public at .35; current group buy owners may buy shares now at .33, using the same payment address as Group #1.

We're expecting to sign for the cage by the end of the week.  We are looking at various build out options (12 12kw cabs, vs 8 20kw cabs). The data center is accommodating our growth and supplying us with a temporary cab for Group Buy #2, while the cage gets built out.  Once complete we will move all the hardware to the cage, a few units at a time to minimize any downtime. 

Chinese New Year is going to mess up the supply, and we're already starting to see shortages so I expect these will go fast. We also qualified for private pool access on BTC Guild, so we will be switching everything over to that in the next couple of days.

Cheers!  I agree that is more important!
