To all Gigaminers:

Some who have upgraded have not liked the fact that Gigamining payments have stopped. I understand the concern. So, with that said, any upgrades that happen before Friday 2/15/2013 11:59:59 UTC will be included in a special early group of Teraminers. These individuals will have their mining contracts started within hours of the VPS equipment being up and running. Any upgrades after that time will follow the letter of the contract as quoted below.
...
Best,

No one mentioned this yet, but from discussions around your earlier post here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=75802.msg1454531#msg1454531) you clarified that ALL teraminers will have their contracts started as soon as the equipment is up and running. Your words: "if it takes 6 hours to get things up and running, the 10 days will not be needed."

The reason you gave for the '10 days' stipulation was to leave yourself some rope in case you run into trouble with the equipment setup, not to punish those gigaminers who do not upgrade before tomorrow. Why the change of heart?
