He's doesn't respond anymore my emails. How much time take to receive the payment address?

Now it's clear,
I didn't get the meaning of "PM to friedcat(this account) or [email protected] about this sales thread may be ignored." correctly =)

You're not the only one, if you read previous pages. These are ignored indeed, and I believe it should be removed from OP because it has already caused much confusion.

$6500 for 10GHs! (Shipped?)

Wow, I was not expecting that much of an expense... Cheaper than a GPU setup, Huh ...

10GHs = ~15x 7970's = $6000 (But still needs 3x mobo-setups... +$600, and 3500W of PSUs 5x750 +$250 -$50 {blade needs one too})
Total GPU setup = $6800... (Minus games 15x$25 = $375) = $6425 (And you can resell the cards and hardware, not so-much with the blades.)

PASS

You can push 12x 7970's to 10GHs... and save another $1400+, = $5025 for 10GHs (Only 2 mobo's and one less PSU) *Not wise to do... lol, it will be a 100% loss after one year.

... And still scrypt mine alt-coins, and play games. Tongue

mathematically correct
but if you factor in space, power consumption and heat dispersion that's a different story.
I guess people like to invest 6500 in miner, they have more faith in BTC success Wink

Update:  

5/25:  email received from friedcat with payment instructions.
5/25: paid 49.99 BTC to friedcat 2 hours later.
5/26:  sent follow up email and pm to make sure payment was received.
5/27: received DHL express tracking email.
5/28:  package departed hong kong customs.  From past experience, it will arrive in cincinnati in a few hours and be delivered tomorrow. Cheesy
5/29:  Blade received and hashing away.  Slight issue with one of the chips displaying "X" after hashing for 15 minutes on high clock.  A restart solved the problem.  All chips read 0 after 1.5 hours. 

THANK YOU FRIEDCAT.

Good for you!

What it's not clear is:
- do I have to pay in advance?
- do I have to use the escrow?
- did you send the email first and then you made the payment?
- when you ordered your BE (email or payment sent)?

Thanks Smiley

Have fun paying that 3KW power bill compared to 80W, the heat and size of 3 full open case mining rigs.

So what you've concluded: 4% of the power consumption, same performance, 5% of the footprint.

Most people run their blades at the HIGH clock speed, giving almost 13 GH/s @ 120W.

It was waiting for me this morning when I arrived at the office, but it was way too fast... I had planned to buy the PSU and the fans after work, now I'm wasting 12h hashing just because friedcat & DHL were too fast Grin

It is so nice too see that deadlines are always met with friedcat. More power to him Smiley

Received mine today! Half an hour of setup later it was hashing away at 12780 MHS @ 99% efficiency out of the box, I didn't even have to calibrate the voltages since they were done @ 1.2V already. Will be coming up with a way for a permanent mounting solution in the next couple of days which I will share.

Friedcat responded to my second e-mail.  49.99 BTC sent to him.  He did say that if they were out of stock, that the funds would be refunded.  I am wondering if they aren't making anymore?

I had the same reply on Thursday. I believe it's a standard reply, and they still have some in stock at the moment.

I paid 2 hours after friedcat's reply, and I just got my tracking number. Blade on the way. Excellent job, ASICMINER always reliable, so rare in this business, very much appreciated.

Could be just between batch shipments, or they're expecting the new revision asap?
