Put me in for 2.

The price is far too high, but I made more than 4 BTC today from selling XRP, which is also far too high. The two cancel out, and when you factor in the "awesome"-factor, I'm ok with this. Grin

Please downsize my order to two from the three I said previously. Checked my BTC, don't have as much as I remembered.

Should we go ahead and follow John's instructions for payment?

Is the price of 1 unit locked @ 2BTC static, independent of fiat/USD exchange value vs BTC ?

 

If you want a fixed price in fiat it's very simple, just buy the BTC now.

What is the plan for defective units? Is arklan responsible for testing/returning as needed before they are shipped to end users?  If an end user receives a defective unit, is there a plan for returning?  I'm assuming the units are guaranteed to the original buyer only (if that).
We're going to have to create a defective group return thread so we can bunch 10 people together, return them, and then redistribute the returns. It's crazy.

i really don't know HOW to answer it. i mean, i'm going to get the product and ship them out. and keep 4, the 1 i ordered and the 3 as a fee. i... i really am at a loss for how to provide any surety.  i'm open to suggestions though!

first - the price is at least 25% too high. these will be mass-made in only a few months time, probably by the time these are received and reshipped...

second: why would i trust you to re-ship tens of thousands of dollars in hardware, that you could make another 50K on by using yourself for a month....?

um... escrow? and these are supposedly shipping in about 2 weeks...

Just using the word "escrow" doesn't really answer the poster's question.
1. AM gets the BTC
2. Operator gets the hardware
3. Associates (buyers) hope the operator ships their units.

300 * 1.99 = approx  70,000 USD (at the moment).

The escrow agent is holding his identity as a guarantee, yet in reply#95 of this thread the operator tells us his name.  The escrow agent has since not disputed it.  A simple google search tells anybody more than they need to know.

klondike_bar has a real question that hasn't really been answered.  There is a small matter of 70k worth of goods that are not really protected by a damn thing.  I'm not claiming the operator will flee with the goods, but it has been done for a lot less.

My order in this group-buy still stands, but the question needs an answer.


EDIT: - After posting, I saw the operators post with his number et al.  Maybe that will be an answer.  Anyway, I'm sticking with my bid.

I don't understand why so many people are posting issues about the price in this thread. This thread is for people interested in the group buy.  If you are not interested, that's fine, nobody is forcing you to purchase the product.

If you have an issue with the price or product itself, take it up with the manufacturer.  Here is a thread about the product: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announcement-block-erupter-usb-195004

well, i have no control on the price ASICMINER is charging, so there's nothing i can do about that.

and yea - john has images of my drivers license, my face, my name, my address, all of it. IF i did a runner (not going to) not only does he have all that making me REALLY easy to track down, but my real name is arklan, and 99% of all the results on the net for that name ARE ME. effectively, i cannot dissappear even if i want to, unless i cut all ties to my family, friends and life as i know it.

if you think 300 USB miners are enough for me to do something like that, you're nuts.

heck, ya want even MORE confidence? 310 904 8610. anytime, day or night. had the number for over a decade.

oh, and:
