Just curious for those who have a pending direct bank transfer for their orders, what does your order status say?

Mine says "Order status: on-hold.", but I’m not sure if that just means that it is pending payment or if there’s something else amiss.

Explanation of order statuses:
Pending – Order received
On-Hold – Awaiting payment
Processing – Payment received
Completed – Order fulfilled and complete
Failed – Payment failed or was declined (unpaid)

Yes, that's what it means

I had the same question in an email and this is burnin's answer:

Once the payment is in my account i update the order status to processing.

I find it funny how people are using Paypal to pay for mining equipment when the high taxes of Paypal and similar services are one of the reasons for the creation of the crypto currencies in the first place Cheesy

Linux since 1997 RedHat 4

We support the hardware coz we have the hardware ...

Edit: oh and in case anyone was thinking of using an RPi (like I have and do use) make sure you use Arch not Raspbian

Raspbian fails badly with USB1.1 devices.

Since Burnin is not selling the boards on ebay, i don't know, if this will affect him, but i definitely don't hope so.

TerraHash (another DIY project) had real problems with PayPal, so I would avoid it even it is most convenient for me to use it.
Either way being seller or buyer I would avoid it or this might happen.

Now when they investigate it will be bye bye PayPal.

Burnin wrote me that he was working 14 hours a day for the last months.

Unbelievable, that one guy did this great project on his own.

Burnin, can we order and pay for a rig now and change the shipping address later?
I'd like to set the shipping method to "Local Pickup" for the time being but
would I be able to change it later to a physical address and then pay for the shipping
at that time? When Zefir gets my chips (batch 2) I'll set the shipping address.
The chips are already locked in to ship to you from Zefir.

I've just placed an order and it went smoothly.
In answer to my own question above: Yes, you can change the
ship-to address after ordering. I've tried it and it works.
I've noticed that the originally entered ship-to address still
appears on the invoice though. As long as the shipping label
printer gets the address from the order (not from the invoice)
then all should be well.

Thanks Burnin for your excellent work!

[edit] I used Bitpay and it worked seamlessly.
Order was marked "Paid in Full" as soon as
payment hit the blockchain (0 confirmations)
Exchange rate was comparable to Bitstamp rate.
I did not change the country or shipping method
so there was no effect on the euro amount.
of the order. There is no provision to change the
shipping method. [/edit]

Where? I don't see it. On the order page there is no change of shipping address possible.

And the address on "My Account" page, which you can edit, it is just for future orders, since it says "The following addresses will be used on the checkout page by default."

Thanks for pointing that out. In my happy 'aha' moment I entirely missed that.
I will have to PM Burniin on how to get the ship-to address changed on my order.

For bank wire, I'm being asked for Burnin's address and province. Does anyone have this handy?

Thank you

Are there any requirements on the version of the usb ports? Can I plug my Bitburner to an old laptop with USBv1?

Sorry if this was answered already.

Will Burnin only take wires denominated in Euro?

I am not 100% sure, my bank should convert incoming foreign currency to eur, but idk at what rate or if the charge me for it.

Tip from experience both sending and receiving international wires, make sure you specify that the buyer tell their bank the Euro side payment and that they tick the option to pay all bank fees. The bank should then back calculate the origin currency from that. It is not automatic, its down to options on the form the sender fills out, and depending on the bank it can cost the sender a lot.

You may still get nailed with a 25 euro fee by your bank for the privilege of getting paid- but varies from bank to bank. Good luck. There's a reason bitcoins will ultimately slaughter the international payment industry...... When int'l wire transfers go wrong, the receiver must waste time endlessly getting the missing balance paid or they must accept a loss. Horrible, and the main reason so many wont accept int'l wires. Im so glad i have a euro zone bank account..... SEPA is by comparison heaven - though still sucks against btc.

Yes i am still alive...

But did not devote any time to the forum because i was rather busy solving all those email queries.
Have answered most of them now, some more difficult are still on my list.
Especially the VAT exemptions take their time since i need to thoroughly check those. (The Finanzamt is very picky about that)
And also have to organize the Production ramp up.
So i am insanely busy atm.

1st Batch of Zefirs chips is on its way to me btw.
Assembly will begin on Monday.

Most high power single rail PSU have dc/dc converters for the 3.3V and 5v rails which means the don't need a minimum load on those.

some users asked some questions about the waterblock http://www.burninmining.com/product/bitburner-watercooler-by-anfi-tec/

Crap...did not see the blocks are made of Aluminum! No wonder the blocks were kinda cheap. We are gonna need anti corrosion additives up in this.

I plan with 100W per board since one board used 94W at 450MHz and 1.3V. So its a bit space for more wattage need. I originally wanted to use smaller psu's with 600W but realized, when 40 miners match into one 2U-Rack of 750mm depth and they use 4000W then i would need a lot psu's. So better safe some space by using bigger ones. The price is peanuts when compared to the costs of the miners so i think saving money there is saved at the wrong point.

I searched for tests and found that this model is said to have very stable power supply, it was marked on of the best. So i think its a good choice. Or do you have other info?

Nothing specific, no. I think Jonny couldn't test it as they didn't ship a US compatible version but it was described as being implemented as two 750W units back to back each with two 12V rails. Multiple rails really isn't a bad thing if you load them correctly. If I wanted that much power I'd look at actual twin PSUs which would give me some real redundancy. You could probably pick up two top brand proven design PSUs Gold or Platinum rated around the 700-800W mark for around the same outlay. The Thermaltake is quite a bit larger than standard PSU size, so you wouldn't lose as much space as you think.

It's your call!
