Yes but it did not include any details on how much we'd receive for either option.

"Hello and thanks for your patience while we sorted out our supply issues for starter kit M-boards.

Now that the kits have all shipped out for August delivery purchases, I need to send you the coin we mined on your behalf during the period your hardware was delayed.

Please follow these instructions carefully in order to insure you get paid.

#1 Please don't reply to this email - Yvonne is collecting payment addresses and organizing them for me.
#2 Send your BTC payment address *from the email on your account* - please make sure to follow this one.  If your payment address arrives from any other email, we will ignore it.  Send the payment address to sales@megabigpower.com
#3 You can choose store credit if you prefer.  I'll give an extra BTC of store credit value to anyone who chooses this option.

Thanks again for all your patience and support through our August ship cycle!  We learned a lot and plan to leverage that experience to improve our October shipfest coming soon.

All the best and thank you so much for being customers!

   My miner stop working 6 hrs ago and I found out SD card gone bad.  I am going to dowload SD image that suck.

ps: 3.7Gb filesystem cant mount in Ubuntu that why image gone bad.  I am back to mining now and I had to start write new image to sd card then changed ip address.

so august shipping was end of august beginning of sept and oct shipping is going to be sometime in beginning.
can't please everyone in bitcoin world but you can def hurt people. if oct ships in beginning august orders were substantially overpriced

Are we doing this again? You can't "hurt" people who have already received their products by shipping other orders on time or early. Everyone who placed orders for *any* batch took a calculated risk, not knowing the future. The prices reflected the opportunity, nothing more.

Hypothetically, if every August batch order had shipped exactly on Aug. 31st, but the October batch orders didn't ship until November 15th, due to typhoons disrupting Asian supply routes -- or a cockroach got stuck in a PCB machine, disrupting production, would you also claim that the October customers were "hurt" by the on-time delivery of August batch? Bullshit. You don't penalize one set of customers unnecessarily just to "spread the misery" because another set of customers had unfortunate luck.

you are 100% (not even a fraction less) wrong about this. no point trying to explain to you since it seems you can't understand. it was implied several times that october orders were going to be shipped towards the end of october. this is a *zero-sum game* and you are 100% wrong - i'm surprised you can't even see the actual logic behind this.

also, your example about delays doesn't even make any sense. the people hurt by that delay would be oct orders and not august orders at all since people in october knew with certainty about delivery of august units first. yikes.

if you read my post correctly you will see that i'm not demanding or asking for anything i'm just stating facts.

No.  YOU are the one 100% wrong here.   Sorry.   It's too bad you feel like you are being hurt because you choose to interpret October shipping in a particular manner.  And BTC is not a zero sum game - just because someone else gets one doesn't mean that you get zero.   

BTC mining is a fixed-sum game, so the constant race to increase hashpower is a zero-sum game.
For you to get an increased proportion of the 25 BTC plus transaction fees, everyone else must get a slightly decreased proportion.

My second SDcard got screwed as well. Had to connect the first SD card to make an image and then re-mage the second one. Since I didnt' have a SD card reader, used my digicam as one

hmm sounds like the exact same issue. i have that chip tuned at 53 now with 6% errors

However, i now find that after some operation 1 chip (usually random, but 6 or 7 seem slightly more common) will drop to 0 hashrate until i stop and start the webgui. What could cause this? I am wondering if the chip is being shut off due to the increased voltage. With all 16 chips i see ~37Ghash and 34Ghash noncerate. with 15 its 35Ghash and 32.5ghash noncerate

temperatures seem okay. they are only slightly warmer then the original was before heatsinks and modding, and have significant airflow. (i read that fan/airflow vibrations can cause issues - is this actually a thing or an annecdote?)
