Think it would be useful to ship Dave a cheap VOM and a couple of sharpened pencils?

Update
I had to take a few days off after my trip to Ukraine to be with my family and get some time to relax and get a few full nights of good sleep. I'm feeling all energized as a Jack Russell Terrier now, so I'm back in work-mode. I'm starting by going through paperwork and mails.

While I was on my trip, my team had made great progress with software, and we're now able to produce much more stable rigs without excessive tweaking.

We plan to start shipping next week!

HB is a good start to get to 1.2KOhm, after that it take a bit of an effort to lower the resistance. Softer darker pencils make it easier.

IMO, it didn't look like it was compensation, just "you keep the funds mined while we tested your unit".
(but I could be wrong of course)

I was under the impression they were pointing some of the 100th project at an account to compensate the late Aug orders because there were no units to ship people, the testing part really makes no sense if they had product to ship.

actually now i'm fairly certain that ghash.io is NOT picostock mine.. so not sure in what you bought your shares in. since ghash was not offered to the public.
