Either way dprohpet I take it your in Austin? I'll be up there at Boost Logic in a week or so bringing my car up. I'd love to see the setup in person (maybe you will have the others) or if you can get me a walk through of Cointerra (i know you guys/gals watch but maybe I'll get a PM/email).
Austin? No, New York City area. I thought it was quite obvious from others postings as they recognized me from TV. I am a Developer in the Financial Industry. You are more than welcome to see it if you are in the NYC area. Better hurry as I will be moving the machine to its more permanent home at my mining colo in PA where electricity costs $0.077 versus $0.24
nice find
Didnt know I was hiding. I made public postings on Satoshi Square and BTC New York. I am publicly active in cryptocurrencies so not a surprise someone recognized me.
Lets see an average customer actually receive a unit now, not some bitcoin celeb.
Got a good laugh out of that one. Didnt know that 1 TV showing = celeb status. People know me, yes I dont hide who I am, but a celeb? Hum.....
I am not the first customer. Jake Gostylo was their first customer that picked up his stuff in-person. Seems to me he fits the bill of the "average customer". Truth be told, when I release new software products I hand pick my first customers based on their level of knowledge and support overhead. Seems Jake and myself are both developers and fit this description. I have had several "technically challenged" first adopter/customer over my years and it is not a pleasant experience.
On a side note, any good recommendations for a "my cgminer crashed" monitor. Something that will watch many systems via the cgminer rpc port? Like a Nagios bitcoin miner plugin or something similar. MultiMiner + MobileMiner work the best IMO.
Hey, which colo do you use? I'm in the NYC area as well and have been trying to figure out what the most affordable colo is since my power system really can't handle this new power requirement, so far I've been thinking about Utah and Texas since power costs are relatively low there, but if PA is an option I'd love to know.
That said, I really do wonder where the hell in the order queue I am then, I was under the impression that the vast majority of December orders got converted to January orders and I believe I'm one of the first orders after they switched to the $14K price tier (from the original 16K price). I'm really curious just how many people would still be in line ahead of me at this point, but this is really disappointing how insanely slowly they're shipping-are the units that problematic?
Anyways, did CT send you a tracking number in advance? Or do these units just show up randomly?
