Announcement: Clarification on my personal Involvement with Bitmine


Dear DIY folks and miners,

as written in the OP, with the chips I ordered and distributed here, I have been Bitmine's largest customer from the beginning. With my ongoing work as consultant for SW and support during bring-up phase, I must have made at least something right: I have been offered a substantial stake of the company's shares and with that since this week I am also a board member.


How does this change the DIY chip distribution?
Definitively only for the better. Running this proxy service for the community already turned out to be error prone and impractical for higher demands. With manual processing, I already messed several orders up (delaying them or sending twice). The first action implemented for that was to make sample chips available from Bitmine's online shop.

Now that the first wave of DIY volumes was delivered, I expect not much further demands for 50+ volumes - those with working design will sure go for 500+ chip orders. To keep the door always open for late comers, I will pursue the integration of smaller order quantities in the online shop.

From this position I have a better influence on Bitmine's day business, so if there is something that can be improved for the DIY scene (I know there is), please let me know, either by posting here publicly or via PM.



Thank you all for the trust and support so far,
