Hi there,
Does anyone know where to order a case for the board(s), preferrably in Germany? It doesn't necessarily have to be the 19"-rack shown in one of the pictures. A case for 1-4 units would be great.

Arranged the list nicely.
Less than 10 hours left - bid for your once in a lifetime chance at those beautiful ASICS! Lay your hands on a piece of Bitcoin history!
look at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-2x-icarus-fpga-miners-mine-with-them-or-trade-in-for-avalon-179800 - 2 FPGAs each 380MH/s. They are going for 5,5BTC/piece right now. That's 14.47 BTC/(GH/s). So, Block erupter should be sold for 144.7 BTC. And Block erupter si more power efficient

70+ BTC for 10GHs 
? you can get FPGAs for a quarter of that price, regardless of power consumption this is just stupid!

Yeah, it's a lowball offer - but I'm just helping provide a datapoint for 'price discovery'.
Even at that price I feel it's an extravagant (for me) risk.

What's the point of this bid when the lowest you can bid to win these is 61 BTC?
The point is what I stated above:
'a datapoint for price discovery'
- in other words - to help those in the business of selling these things, to note that not everyone who is in the market for mining gear (which I still potentially am, depending on offerings) will pay those prices.
I consider the risk of large amounts of hashing power coming online to make the prices of 60BTC way too risky. I may well be wrong of course.
The drawcard for this particular sale, and my guess why it's gone so high is that there is presumably quick shipment, but even then you have to weigh up the risks of problems in shipment, including taxation/holding by customs, breakages etc.

Please do not clog up the thread with such bids - I've deleted a couple of '1@0' and '[email protected]' when the bids were around 50-60...
Sorry John, I'll keep out - although there is much 'noise' in this thread that didn't seem to attract rebuke - and my post had a point (albeit misunderstood it seems).But for the sake of curiosity - do you mean you don't want anyone to bid even a little under what the current offers are? Surely there are potentially a few cancellations?

PS: But please do not overdo this - and expect your bids to be ignored. If you have an existing bid at higher prices, you cannot effectively cancel it by rebidding lower.
0.1BTC tip to the dealer for keeping control of the table!
Expect it... as soon as Blockchain.info gets their shit back online so I can use my hot wallet.
Thanks
Tip sent (finally). Although if I don't win one of these I'm going to attempt a double spend.
Thanks again for your contribution John. (What would we do without you??)
updating my previous bid : 1@71
changing my 1@65 to 1@70
thanks.
thanks.
2 @ 63.5
Anyone think we will see it go over 100 per?
Given that I've been blown off the leader board with the better part of a day to go, it wouldn't surprise me. I think there may well be some collector's value to this particular batch of ten devices as the first hardware shipped by ASICMINER.
Get your collectibles now!
