Hey Jos-T,

I just ordered accessories last night to run about 500-1000 (some components I bought for 500 units, some were cheaper and I went ahead and got 1000). I tried to order as much as I could from North America so that we will likely receive mostly everything we need sometime next week. I am planning on making an order next weekend for the miners.

I would like to go ahead and get an order in the next couple days, however some of the accessories might not have arrived by the time we receive the Gridseeds, so I'd rather wait to be sure that we have everything we need to get started. I am buying them from a reputable company in the USA to negate the risk of getting scammed, also shipping time will be short and is expected to only take 3 days. My guess is the first batch will be up and hashing in about a week and a half. After all the accessories get in, previous batches can be ended as soon as there are enough units ordered.

Thanks

Expected would be somewhere in the first half of April then? Wink

Is it also possible to do the DIY solution with less than 50 units (I'm interested in 10-30, haven't decided yet). This because it will need it's on Raspberry Pi to control it, while it could actually be hooked up to 50 according to your OP.

No it won't take nearly that long. I expect to have the first miners hashing in about 10 days, and all of the first batch hashing by the end of that week if everything goes as planned. Yes you may do the DIY mining with less than 50 units. Just please add $70 for your own raspberry pi please.

On a side note, I also wanted to mention I will be making a list of the number of units you need to order in order to receive certain accessories when ending the hosting. Like.. every 10 units will likely come with USB hub, standoffs, etc.. ~every 50 will come with a raspberry pi, and so on and so forth. This is going to me the last edit to the OP before starting to collect funds later today.

I'm also generating a vanity wallet for the group... it's been hashing away at it all night and still hasn't found it although it's on 65% likelihood now. Our firstbits will be 1GroupB Cool

Edit: Vanity gen reached 100% probability to find the address, but I got tired of waiting on it and used an address that starts with 1HosT instead.
