I got my 11 today. At least 2 had loose heat sinks that I fixed by tightening up the screws. Two are malfunctioning, getting hardware errors out the wazoo, I don't know if it's the same 2 or not. Hard to figure out which 2 it is when I have 35 of them. Sad

If you ever do figure it out, lemme know.

Will you be selling again due to the 0.10 price drop?

Nope. Not me.

If I may return to the topic at hand, heh:

The Canadian packages that were held up by customs heading to Canada have been fixed and should resume transit.

The only ones I saw for September wanted like 2btc. 1btc per GH/s is steep as hell considering 6 Erupters get you 2GH/s for .6 btc now. Arguably power is better (2.5W instead of 6*2.5=15W for the Erupters), but that improvement isn't enough to get me to jump in. We'll see what the landscape looks like getting closer to October.

The bitfury chips are at 2GH/s@500mA per chip, so that wouldn't be too bad. I'm actually following a developer and might be putting together a group buy for those should they come available.

I have been watching the thread where these have been being talked about, IDK when they will become available, but it wasnt sounding like a minimum order was going to be necessary, and that initial supply wasnt going to be very large, so it may make more sense to just put an order in than scramble to get money together, of course if they do require a minimum number of units, then count me in depending on price (which I assume will be attractive, but who knows). I guess we will have to wait and see.

The developer I was watching had a minimum of 100. Right now the price is 1btc for October delivery, but it's tentative and final pricing hasn't been announced.

Oh for October, there is another one somewhere who is finishing testing and wants to sell some on hand ones in, what sounds like, a couple of days time.

I wasn't aware of that. Been too long since I've really done a full board catch up read.

By all means, purchase away.

To me, 75% a month is a very good estimate for the next couple of months, assuming SOME of the chip designers make it past the AutoCAD stage. The percentage may not hold long term, but I'd rather not gamble any more on these with increasing shipments of BFL (finally!), all of the Avalon chips that will eventually hit the network, bitfury, Hashfast, KNC, and all the other private chip manufacturers out there who will be shipping by EOY. Plus, once I factor in USB hubs (which can be reused, admittedly, but what do I need 40 usb plugs for anyway?) it really doesn't make any sense to me to get any more.

Agreed. Any hardware I get will have to be a lot more then one chip per usb.

I am going to email their support and ask if I can purchase 50 because I was a member of a group buy that purchased directly from them. At .1 per I would take 50 of them, anyone else is more than welcome to tack on to this order if they allow it. I will update when I get word from FC.

Not worth it any more. Next retarget is going to be over 110m difficulty. These things have seen it.

I respectively disagree, using thegenesisblock's mining calculator (unfortuantely I cannot pull it up at work because it is blocked, so I cant share the link), but each one still has some potential for small profit at 77% increase of difficulty, which I think is pretty outrageous. So by having a large number of them, you can accumulate a good chunk of money, nothing life changing but a couple of btc. Which is worth it for me.

I'd take 15 more if you would be open to including them in your order. Now they are actually priced for gifts!

You're shitting me. Right... Well, for obvious reasons, i'm out of this game. Contact Canary or something. I'm not an "official reseller" anyway.

These are priced at what we got them for anyway. They are probably cleaning out their remaining stock - they can't make much money at a price point much lower than this.
