Happy Friday everyone! Been a while but been interesting seeing Bitcoin back in the news! How's everyone been doing?

Hey kroneko! Nice to have you back. Things just keep rolling along... This thread is probably due for an update, so here's what has happened recently.

At the end of July I met with nonnakip as he flew out to spend some time sitting in boats and enjoying the scenery of Northern California. We had some great discussions about things that could be done to bring some more fun and activity to NastyFans and hopefully some of them materialize in the future as it would be great to get more activity on this project. This international travel led to a 22 hour delay in issuing a refund that caused quite a stir a while back. Sure, complaining about a 22 hour refund delay while someone is traveling internationally is not exactly logical, but that's the state of bitcointalk and it's members these days. Here's my response on the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5264804.msg54884247#msg54884247

I no longer own the NastyCenter property. A decade long boom in real estate has resulted in the sale of the NastyCenter property as I reduce the amount of properties owned in an effort to rebalance my real estate portfolio to being focused on providing entertainment instead of investment returns. Sale of this property has closed, so the NastyCenter is no more. In 2015 we were utilizing this space to mine because heat was the limiting factor, not electricity rates. Considering we haven't utilized this property in nearly half a decade, I don't see it having any effect whatsoever on this organization.

Our S17Pro is operating at 2/3 capacity. Last month we had a chain of ASICs become non-functional. I've been quoted a price of $300 = parts to have it looked at and repaired, but I'm not sure if it is worth it at this point as I had been thinking about selling the unit to upgrade to S19 hardware. We have quite a bit of funds sitting around that would make this $300 a non-issue, but I feel at this point in the Bitcoin price cycle it might be wise to just let things go as they are and wait for an opportunity to put our funds to use. I'm always open to suggestions if anyone had some on how to proceed with hardware and our savings.

I think that covers most of the excitement we've had lately. I feel like while this project has been quiet, we're currently sitting with the highest $ amount in savings we've ever had, our product line for sale at https://nastyfans.org/mint is full of great options, we have both ASIC & GPU miners generating returns, and have had 44 weeks in a row of donation distributions that give us plenty of hope for the future. I never dreamed we would reach this level of success when I raised a couple hundred dollars to run an FPGA miner for the community, but now that we have, it feels like we're still just getting started on what could be possible with the right community spirit.
