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.

Honestly I disregard some post just because usually it's the same thing over and over LOL!  Now that I look back sure enough you are right. 

Hell I'd be doomed just living without miners at that rate.  At .12 I am thankful we can do that year around averaging which I'll take the $350 a month over 600-700 in the summer months.  Mine spend their lives in our datacenter and at my shop lol.
