I've finally got this little mining op running




More noise and less revenue than I had hoped for, but I'm glad I finally got them.

Away with BFL PSU's!

S4VV4S, you're actually a very good and entertaining troll. Good job :p.

I have received the refunds of two orders, each 20 shares on march 13th. Refund complete.

Thanks Bobsag3.

I have requested refunds for two orders of 20 shares each on february 26th. Obviously not yet received as that date is yesterday.
PM'ed Bobsag3

I have also just requested refunds for two orders of each 20 shares. Hopes of breaking even flew out the window because of lack of communication and delays.

Let's just sell the hardware, it's failling horribly.

I and (probably everybody) certainly still care. But I think everybody is of the opinion that the hardware as it is now will never sustain the desired hashrate. That and the fact that the difficulty has risen so much, that the absolute difference has dropped so much means that it's probably not of much use to keep an active discussion.

Ik zit momenteel ook volop in de examens maar ik zal misschien ook aanwezig zijn, ik ben zeer nieuwsgierig naar de unieke doos.

Good going, FIAB .

Haha, each time I see this discussion about ROI'ing in either fiat or BTC I get this urge to chime in and try to convince others of my opinion. But the truth is that none of us will be able to convince the other, I tried already to convince philipma1957 on two occasions :p.

To each his own investment strategy. Let's just hope diff. increase goes back down.

I also offer my services as helping the technically ungifted, I'm not an IT-nerd so I wouldn't be selling myself short :p.

Answering FAQ like 'where do I enter my payout address?' or 'when will the machines start hashing?'. I read practivally every thread and post related to these groupbuys and have time to spare, so if I can help you guys reducing that support-ticket weight, let me know.

Do we get fancy clubcards and VIP-access ?

I actually forgot to put in my vote, lulz :p...


Soooo... Offer has taken a plunge, what do we do now?

I haven't voted yet and won't vote untill the last minute or untill I hear Bobsag3's opinion on the hashrate fixes.

So not selling and keeping your assets with DZMC suggests that you have less trust in DZMC than when you're selling the shares? Logic?
Imo, holding the shares equals to putting more trust in the DZMC, relying on the fact that bobsag3 will come up with a fix to increase the hashrate.


May I remind you btw that the volatile nature of bitcoin also poses a risk to the profitability of selling the shares vs holding them? Bitcoin could very well rally up to a point when exchanging the money from the deal into BTC will result in less BTC than gained from keeping the miners running.

I'm not saying you're wrong, you have a reasonable chance of being right. But imho you're assuming too much, too confident that selling the shares is the right thing.
Have you voted already? If not, wouldn't it be wise to atleast wait untill the 14th to see what bobsag3 has to say and see what the conversion rate is at?


To whoever is in charge of the deal, at what time will the $ be converted into BTC?

Let everyone decide for themselves. The vote continues untill the 14th anyway.
It is said that knowledge is one of the most valuable assets. If we wait for bobsag3's experience with the fixes he has in mind, we might be able to make a better decision in the end.

With the 100$ increase in the offer per share, my opinion of 'absolutely not selling' to  'probably not selling'.

When will bobsag3 return or be able to comment on possibility of increasing the hashrate?
If it is decided to sell the hardware, will the USD be converted to XBT on the 14th?

Suggestion: I'll make a google documents poll in a few hours. If everybody enters his forum name, # shares and preference we'll have an easy overview of how many shares are for or against selling.

I'll add DZminercoop staff to the document so that they can see that I'm not altering the document, and the results and individual votes will be posted in a few days.


If this ok with everybody and DZMinercoop staff, we can easily and quickly decide what to do.

Bobsag3, Thomas_s, Dyslexiczombei, please post or pm your gmail address so I can add you to the document.
