My guess would be that these suckers are going to be sold for a shocking sum.
At 1.99 BTC, they already were! Zing!But to your point, I wonder what they'll go for? $500? $600? More?

I wonder if you make any sales at this price... That's almost 100% markup!
Good luck.Not really. I had to sell AM shares to buy these. The shares have doubled in price since I sold them. At 399 USD, I'll probably be about even. I'm going to take all the proceeds and put them right back into more shares next week. Unless of course there is another group buy...

Shit, you already have bids on 3 of them. Man I should have bought like 10.

These USB miners are IN HAND
LOL. I guess you didn't specify which hand.
I didn't want to lie. That would be wrong.
If anybody is interested, that auction has been up for only 12 hours and has 279 views and 18 watchers.

Either arklan is selling some or someone ganked your photos.
ummm, sorry about that...
I'm going to replace the pictures as soon as I snap my own.

@arklan, have you got the USBs? share some pics with us?
you can find these pics even on ebay now )))
Confirmed. http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Bitcoin-ASIC-Miner-IN-HAND-Ships-Immediately-NOT-BFL-or-AVALON-pre-order-1-/121115396672?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c330a4a40

Dude, look back a few pages. Don't be lazy.
each usb will consume 500mA so every USB 3.0 hub with external power will fit. Right ??

I've also ordered a 7 port industrial USB hub that can take 7-24V DC input to simplify powering everything: https://www.bitcoinstore.com/startech-com-mountable-rugged-industrial-7-port-usb-hub.html
I don't know if this is the most efficient way to do it, but it has got to be close.
aahzmundus, sorry for the redundant PM.

Hopefully that will work just fine for you.
However, USB 2.0 (spec'd at .5 amp per port) just doesn't seem to allow any power overhead. Wouldn't it be better use a USB 3.0 like this one, to guarantee 1.5 amps per port:

What about just popping them into open blue USB ports on our rigs?
You could do that, but to me the main benefit of an ASIC is the power efficiency, and since they do not need a full rig to power them, why use one? A Pi is cheep and cool, and I kinda wanted one anyway for messing with stuff... this was just a good excuse to get one personally.
If your desktop is always on, it makes no difference... but I turn my desktop off.
Mine is being added to my mining rig; always on + no real extra power required = fuck ya.
If anyone would like to point me in the right starting direction, I would appreciate it. Things like what OS I should put on my pi, what miner I should use... I plan to buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-Uspeed-7-Port-Adapter-Chipset/dp/B006TT91TW ... can I use that to power the pi, and then also plug it into the PI for splitting to the USB miners? or will that create some sort of infinite loop of doom... (pure ignorance here).
I got a cheap shitty unbranded chinese hubs to use with my pi (with ztex). cant use more than 2 units cause its shitty.
To answer your question specifically, there wont be any loop thingy. The power jack on pi is not real usb port. Its just a power port . The data pins are not used/connected. So u can power a pi from the same hub the pi uses.

Package includes: 1 USB 3.0 7-port Hub / 1 12V 3A Power Adapter / 1 USB 3.0 Cable (3 feet) / 1 User Manual.
Means u can use 1 pi + 5 usb erupter cause i think each needs 0.5A ... hmm.. 12V 3A .. i thought USB is 5v.
One thing u need to be careful. You dont want the hub to backfeed power from the raspi's USB(not power) port, many hubs have this problem. even if the pi boots up it would become unstable, or writa garbage on the SD card. work-around is to block the usb pin 1 with electrical tape or smthn... (i being cheap bastard used piece of paper
). OR cut out the +ve wire from the usb cable... - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Standard_connectors The image im using is from http://sirlagz.net/2013/02/14/raspbian-server-edition-version-2-3/
Running it completely headless, never had to touch monitor or keyboard with it. Cgminer compiles without any fuss at all. Should be really trivial if uve ever used a real OS like linux. Windows n00bs might needs step by step guides...
I need to buy some decent hubs for myself...
Sadly I am mostly a windows noob, although I have limited experience with linux but not on any serious level. I plan to try and use MinePeon, but it also appears that the current version of it does not include the most up to date mining software that I suspect I will need since updates to those programs were made recently to support this... So i will have to figure out how to update the mining software... i think?
Thank you for the tip on blocking the pin on the usb port on the pie to avoid issues.
Looks like my devices are not packed yet, probably good because I am not ready for them yet!?! They are coming to fast!
"limp and hobble"
Then you shouldn't get hassled by parking in the handicapped spot at the Post Office.

Nice status updates, Arklan, thank you.
Even though, mine ain't in the packed list.

Oh, and my sympathies on your twisted ankle. Don't stress it.

thanks. ankles actually doing better now - i can walk! ...ok, well, limp and hobble, but still. don't need the crutches. those things suck.

well, the first 200 are packed, now i just need to print shipping labels for them -the printer, of cours,e is in my brothers bedroom.... so none of that for a while. but i should be able to get the packages listed as packed on the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjCZrDbAiz_PdE4tbDR3X3owMHNMb1NyekJGWHN4QlE&usp=sharing) out before noonish.
for those ordering:
1-3: they're in foam padding inside a plastic case inside a thin walled box. this is how they came to me. i'm gonna tape em shut and slap the label on... if it fits. if it doesn't.... uhm... envelopes i suppose? given the foam padding they're in they should be fine.
4-10: as you can see in my previous pictures, they came in boxes of ten. i'll seal these up and label em. for under ten, they'll be cut to size.
11 or 12: custom boxes.
20: two boxes of ten taped together and wrapped in paper.
20+: custom boxes.
with luck, the other 330 will arrive today - it's already in Cincinnati. hopefully i can get the rest packed and to the post office today before they close. if not, tomorrow morning.
