it's portable,
it's cute,
sip on electricity,
and you can have it now,
while Avalon batch 2 will take months to finish,
also better customer support, less hassle than Avalon

even if we disregard BFL - we know avalon is selling chips, and has sold in the realm of 500k of them, to be shipped in june, if i recall. that ain't no pile of peanuts.
true ... i forgot about that.
But you believe it's gonna be so easy for everyone to get their chips on PCB and running ?
If you could just put the asic on a test board, cut some wire and put some reistance and make it run i would say yes ... but it is not the case.
I do not find anyone having a working PCB that he offer to sell IN QUANTITY.
true. burnin's assembly service/pcb making is seemingly very popular, but i have no idea how many he'll be able to make and ship at what kind of rate.
the real question is : "how many people are interested in the product ?" and "where are they located ?"
I'm in France and i would be in for 3 Block Erupter USB 297 to go :>
at current difficulty, I calculated a ROI of 133 days ... (btc went down a little, but i not really expect diff to explode, BFL is not going to deliver "en masse".
cheaper than FPGA but still not as good UNAVAILABLE asic !

Avalon is 2-3 weeks late on batch 2. How long will be the delay for batch 3? And then for chips?
very valid point. i still disagree that 1.99 btc is a reasonable price point, however. ...then again, i AM willing to pay it...
also, if by chance the group buy goes anywhere with my in charge, i'm in the USA, just FYI.

At BTC2 - no freaking way.

The quantity of each order should be more than 300 devices.

yea... wait, are you implying they mean 300 for 1.99 btc? there's no way in hell. admittedly, the posting doesn't clarify this. but realistically, that'd be a unit price of ~.006 btc, which is roughly 70 cents, USD. not possible.
now, assuming i'm wrong on what you mean - minimum order of 300 x 1.99 btc = 597 btc exactly. ...wow. that's insane, when you realize avalon sells 10,000 chips (33times more chips, but bare chips) for 780 btc.
right. this price is fubar'd.

the price per MH is like the 66 btc/Asicminer blade ... :/

gotta agree, that price is painful. even if i had to wait months for a BFL at 5 ghash, that still strikes me as a better plan. (not that i want to buy from bfl OR have that much btc lying about anyway...)

ok fellas. we are BACK and taking order's! each PREVIOUS BUYER can place an order for USB miners at .175 per unit. the .075 is for my fee and shipping - which will be fedex ground.
Ordering is open until august 9, 6 pm mountain time (that's friday, about 1:20 from current forum time) payment is due ASAP so i can place the order and get the shipment from friedcat on it's way as of the 10th.
Timer removed. End time: 2013-08-09+18:00:00
Now, email all three of these fields to Arklan:
-Address you sent payment from that you used in line 1
-message entered in line 2
-signature that bitcoin-qt populated.
On Arklan's end, he will use those 3 pieces of information in the verify tab and it will confirm that all the information is correct.
Do not make any of the info public. Make sure everything is copy and pasted verbatim. Make sure only the seller knows this information.
Hope this helps.
