Have a Jupiter KNC miner for sale. I'll also include the PSU, a Corsair RM 850. Great condition, as it is only a couple days old. With Firmware .97, currently mining at 540 according to CGminer, but pool shows roughly 500+ with some minor variance.
The miner is located in the SF Bay Area. Prefer to do a local pickup, but will consider shipping if I receive a solid offer. Either way, will use escrow if you'd like, with someone reputable of course.
Regarding price, I would want my original payment of roughly 70+ btc
, but that isn't gonna happen. So post or pm me with your best offer in BTC. I also like asicminer shares if you would like to do a trade for the unit.
For evidence of ownership:
I purchased this unit with Zefir who can confirm
I can provide photos of the unit
I can point it at your address for a bit for further evidence.
I will meet in person, somewhere safe of course, starbucks, bank, etc.
I am more than willing to use escrow if shipped....and most importantly, can provide anything within reason.
Also, will try to make it at the next bitcoin meetup in SF this coming Tuesday, so perhaps 2 birds with 1 stone if anyone is headed there and wants the unit.

I got my full refund a short time ago. Thanks, BitCentury, for handling this situation with outstanding class and integrity.
Good to hear.
. Out of curiosity, what was your order # as it appears they are going in sequence. I'm Batch 1 order 17 and 20. Batch #1, order #4.
Ah.. One of the first orders
I have a great amount of respect for Bitcentury and their transparency. Truly a rarity in the ASIC business. Really appreciate your work, and if you leave a donation address, I'd donate some btc to offset some of your operating costs.

Good to hear.
. Out of curiosity, what was your order # as it appears they are going in sequence. I'm Batch 1 order 17 and 20. Here is a current list of what Customers are asking (All the variations that I could find):
Refunds:
100% Refund right now
100% Refund in 3 Months
70% Refund Right now (Due to Part Costs that cannot be refunded)
Exchanges (No Additional Cost):
Receive current units ordered and 20% "Coupon" on Next Venture
Wait for Avalon Gen 2 Chips then build out orders and 20% "Coupon" on Next Venture
Use money spent on current order on Next Venture
If anyone can think of anymore legit variations I'll add them to the list, but off the top of my head these are the ones the community is asking for and what Terrahash offered.
If we can keep this thread organized it may help Terrahash come to a conclusion on what to do quicker. Right now there are plenty of options on the table and new information coming out all the time.

I concur with keeping a simple list of questions to answer for TerraHash. Thanks Bar.
My only addition would be a specific date for the refund in 3 months vs it being ambiguous. It was also mentioned that they would do a partial refund immediately, but hopefully we could get a time frame for that as well as I do not believe anyone has gotten a response.
Lastly, it occurred to me that perhaps a third route would be for you to simply refund 50% or what makes financial sense, and then fully in 3 months. It would at minimum show good faith, and I'm sure most (hopefully) would be patient enough to wait for the rest. It would provide smoother cash flow distribution and shield you further from legal problems.
Regarding the project as a whole. Since Yifu is offering chip refunds now, we can go that route. But as you know, chips were only about 50-60% cost in our operation, that is all we would be able to refund everyone.
Another option is to get a refund now, and buy the Gen 2 chips in October. Yifu has announced that the Gen 2 chips will be fully compatible with Gen 1. So, we would be able to use the current boards, heat sinks, cases and most (if not all) of the components. And everyone will get about 8-10 times more hashing power for same price. (This is just an estimate, we will get more details once he releases the specs.) And we'll get another month and a half to sort out the issues with the current design. Instead of depending upon BkkCoins this time, we will hire people here to build upon and improve his design. We will open source everything we do.

I vote wholeheartedly on Refunding and getting Gen 2 Chips, however you guys REALLY REALLY REALLY need to open/answer all of your lines of communication. It is unacceptable that so many emails/tickets/phone calls have gone unanswered.
I also think the open sourcing of the project is a great step to rebuilding your relationship back with the community. If this is the route that is taken, please allow for overclocking room in your design revisions.
I still have faith in you Terrahash and so do others as you can see in this thread, but you have given yourselves a black-eye with your lack of customer service. Thankfully this can be remedied easily with some effort
I can promise, we will be more open and be better with customer service this time!
Thanks for the update and glad to hear you want to be better with providing information, and responding to inquiries. However, at this point, some action would be appreciated. Perhaps a new hire dedicated to CS, like bitfury, or dedicating an hour per day to answer questions....whatever is feasible at this time of course.
Support tickets, PM's and emails going unanswered, phones disconnected or straight to a disconnected voicemail, no blog and minimal board updates, and an empty office kills confidence quite dramatically.
On top of that, the price tag, which is a down payment for a Tesla Model S, and it is easy to see why there are plenty of upset and uneasy folks.Also, regarding refunds as stated previously, do you have an estimate as to when you will reach out to those wishing to go that route? And if we were to wait 3 months for a 100% refund, a firm date would be wonderful. Thank you.
Best,
JC

Maybe they won't last 10 years.... Maybe only 7.... The useful lifetime of these boards is measured in months at this point...
OC FTW !
OC FTW !
My thoughts exactly. I'm hoping for 12 months, but I am most definitely an optimist. If there was a way to OC, I'd be all over that.
Do you mind pointing me to that post? Thought I had digested most of the information regarding board limitations and whatnot but didn't see that possibility yet. You may have just set up my Sunday morning project...
Re: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics***
I'm getting 52 Gh/s out of a pair of cards. The odd thing is, one of them is running right along at 30+, the other just barely manages to hit 22....
Yeah, same here. Seems each card is going at its own pace. Would be nice to find a way to whip all the slacker cards up to 30, heh.
They did give a 100% refund in 3 months option for anyone that wants it. That's not too bad.
3 month + days already lost = exactly the amount of time credit card companies will disallow a chargeback.
i am just going to call this a scam out right, and you are a tool.
thread unwatched too, anyone still havent charged back with credit card is a lost cause. Everyone who paid with btc/wire, i am sorry.
Credit card companies will allow chargebacks for at least 6 months and will go longer if needed with proof of fault (not receiving item).
This is generally true although each CC will have its own policy. It is not unheard of with people charging back well past the time frame, so I do not believe that was their intention.
From my understanding, other factors to consider are cost of the charge back and quality of the client (banking history, etc.) after the deadline.

Your cooler seems excessive, the general notion over at the Eu-thread is that the chips like to run hot, Even bitfury himself has stated this. Just for reference Im running mine without fans in 25-33c ambient.
Hm...thanks for the tip. Odd that it works out that way. At work and will run a quick test to see when I get back. Currently however, it seems to be running fine at my pool, but if a couple degrees up will increase the speed, it is an adjustment worth making considering.

a) If you want 100% refund, you need to give us 3 months time. We fully acknowledge that we are legally required to issue a refund when asked. Legal issues aside, we ourselves want to do the right thing to maintain our credibility. But the fact is we do not have enough liquidity right now to process all the refund requests. If you are willing to settle for a partial refund right now, please contact us and we can work something out.
Has anyone gotten a response to being in a queue for a refund or specifically, a response to settle for a partial refund? I've reached out and haven't heard much just yet. Tried to arrange an in person meeting, and with no response, dropped by a couple times to an empty office so no luck.
Still generally a supporter of TH, but likely because of my own biases of wanting more Bitcoin companies to start up in my backyard. However, tired of checking all of the threads repeatedly hoping for movement. If the settlement is fair, I'd prefer to just "wash my hands" of this and focus more on the important things... like Fantasy Football.

Howdy Rich!
Yes, cable ordered and on it's way. The version 2 M-boards should replace these in the near future, so it won't be an issue at some point, but it was very frustrating this evening. Of all possible orientations for the RasPi, who could even have imagined it ending up flat, backwards, and upside down all at the same time ? And I still love the case even though it may have seemed like I was bitching about it in the pictures....

Ah...wasn't the only one a tad frustrated. Thought I had erred in my installation somehow last night as the RasPi was pressed against the psu. Had to shift it over a bit to make everything more flush. Very minor issue that can be alleviated with an extension which I'll do this weekend.
Either way however, great miner Dave and solid case Rich! Everything feels quite thoughtfully built. Everything has been a pleasure.
On a side note, it seems almost intentional to provide 2 sets of M-Boards to entice us to purchase more H Boards
I split my boards up between the two and the empty slots are just begging to be filled. Don't think I would have thought twice if it was fully populated, hehRe: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics***
My FedEx package was just scanned. Looks like something should be in my hands by tomorrow afternoon. If it is just the 25GH/s Starter kit or the Starter + Full kit (both for Aug delivery), I do not yet know.
Out of curiosity, what is your order number and did you get a notice from the website when it got sent out? Hoping that my August order ships soon, hah.
