Tuesday June 6th,
MicroBURST made its first payout today.
Payout came in at 9.148 BURST per 1000 shares. This is just the beginning. I was thinking it was going to come in around 3 per 1k.
And I'll be honest, none of the new equipment is contributing to that payout yet. None of the drives have been fully plotted yet. The new video card has been mining, but has not received a payout since going into service yet.
This can only get better. Folks keep telling me I'm doing a wonderful job of managing and keeping you all informed. I fell I haven't really even started being on top of everything. I can do better. Health issues are slowing me down about 10%. The heat in here another 10%. If you all think I'm doing good at this point. Imagine what things will be like when I have AC to keep this brain running in top condition. :)
I am eating better, I'll start walking this week. You believe in me, and have entrusted me with your resources (money). the least I can do is make myself healthier and stronger so that I can be better able to manage those resources, and hopefully bring all my plans to fruition. I really, really cound not have done any of this without you wonderful people.
I will be releasing the second batch in a few minutes.
God bless.

Yes, sorry, it was gone so fast, my head spun. << >> << >> Next batch though, I won't make make the same mistake in underestimating myself.
But I will warn you it might be a while, as its taking FedEx to long to make it feel like Christmas. It might be 2 weeks before the next batch goes up.
Thank you fine folks for making dreams come true. I will post much over the coming days.
Just an FYI, the batches are reached once milestones are reached, and I probably released the second batch to soon, I won;t make that mistake for batch #3 either. My milestone for batch #3 is to have all hardware in place and mining before its released.

Update for Thursday, June 8th. The power supply has finally arrived!!! Yay! \o/
Had a day where the BURST miner's were down. The GPU rig was also down a day. Everything is fully operational right now, except the second BURST miner. Its only 1.4TB. It's a very finicky system. It will be replaced, and likely get recycled. Its the oldest, machine in the mining operations, its served me well for a decade in other capacities. But its time has come to go to the great matrix in the sky. The power supply though, Just made my week. Construction of the new official Main BURST miner will commence soon, and will hopefully be mining sometime before the end of this weekend. With the PS came 12 more TB. It will be awesome to see that case loaded with hard drives. Got the 4 port PCIe Sata controller. SO will be running 10 internal sata drives.
Plotting is going slowly. I tried running the GPU plotter, had everything set as best I could, but its still to buggy for my liking. Started looking for a dual Xeon server system on eBay, I've got it pretty narrowed down as to what I am looking for. Maybe in a week, I'll have an uber plotter in house. I've pretty much got my next parts list put together. And as soon as BTC comes back up, I'll cash out and place orders. Still have 2 more orders in transit from the first batch of the asset. Mostly small things.
Also, MicroBURST is now backed by 10 troy ounces of .999 pure Silver. I will have pics when it arrives. As well as pics of the monster case, and the drives, and the eSATA hub.
Oh, the motherboard and CPU for the new rig was something I already have here, an MSI 970 chipset motherboard with an AMD FX-4170 CPU. Just needed memory and a power supply. So now all set to build that Miner, It should total out at 40.8TB of BURST mining goodness. I do not have the figures for the current BURST miner, but it should be sufficient to take MicroBURST solo. That is also on the 'ToDO' list for this weekend.
I know I've been amiss the last couple days. Still not feeling super well. But that should improve as my wife and I are now committed to improving our health. Nope, haven't taken a walk this week yet. Maybe if its cool enough this weekend.
Thanks you all. Oh, I am also working on making a Discord channel to collaborate and have open dialog with other liberty/anarchy minded folks. Updates later.
p.s. Has anyone seen my signature? It seems to be missing.
