I'm waiting that too

I have the BTC ready, but won't send it to yxt (the operator of group buy) before we are actually ordering.

The discussion is mainly in German, but yxt is translating everything important to English

imagine the rest of us doing the same. I suppose when orders are open yzt will send the collected BTC, as soon as they are for >300 units.. We don't want to hang on for ages waiting for people to give BTC.

Will this order be the first batch to go through, or was there a group buy that already went 300+ before us ?

i THINK the european group hit 300 first, though if that matters i don't know.

I'm taking part in that European group buy and if I have understud correctly the discussion in their thread, they haven't sent in their order yet. The operator is waiting for official announcement from friedcat taking orders. Also the operator has been asking friedcat if the devices will have CE-mark, because without that they might be seised in customs. They have collected payments for 153 devices, as can be seen here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AkRHbOmCoH9PdEdWSkJ3MDFFelFkRVdjb280TUtqRWc&gid=0

...oh. well then, since we don't need the CE mark and have 429 paid for, looks like we're in the lead. yay us!

course we're ALSO waiting on friedcat to make the official announcement that he's taking orders.

come on friedcat, accept payment...

Well, it is still another six to ten days before friedcat is expecting to receive these things from manufacturing himself.

Everything I've seen so far is that ASICMiner has only accepted payment when they have goods ready to ship.

A refreshing change of pace from some other companies in this market space.

+1 - I've been requesting a payment address from friedcat with no replies so far. Hopefully he gets the chips soon enough.

i think i'm actually a little under the weather, so it's probably a good thing i'm not fondling stuff and sending it across the country. continent?

egads!

The plaque which ends our society (see "The Stand" or "The Andromeda Strain") begins due to BitCoin hardware shipments.

ok ok. no testing. and i'll ship the bulks out first, then everybody else. given that the bulk orders represent a little more then HALF to total orders, i don't think it'll make more then maybe one days difference what order i ship the rest in.

come on friedcat, accept payment...

Shipping bulk orders first is ok

Much as it pains me to say it, I agree with this because it gets the mostest out the fastest.

Quote from: torusJKL on May 12, 2013, 11:20:06 PM

but I think sending in the order they have been paid is more fair.
And in addition it helps motivating people to pay as soon as possible.

I fully agree with this. However, nothing was stated in the OP, 'the deal', about shipping priorities. And I hate any changing of the rules mid-game. Therefore, IMO, arklan is free to ship these in any order which floats his boat.

BTW, ASICMiner just sold 140 more blades. So that's about another 1.7th coming on line, about 2% addition to total network hash rate, just from that sale within the next one to two weeks.

+1 Also like the idea that after bulk orders go out, the remaining orders are shipped based on the order the payment was received.

i know it IS included. i assume attached, as, why not? but i also know they don't technically need them. so who knows. i could get two boxes, one full of heatsinks "no, it's not a solid block of metal! honest!" and one full of usb sticks.

I could see logic to having them loose. I plan to have mine heatsinked, but I suspect that many/most people will not. Probably the less screwing things on and off the pcb, the better. I'm glad to hear that there will be an option. And I never thought of the utility that they may have in shipping

I will attach the heatsink, if they come separate, to mine.

Cooler electronics tends to be happier / longer lived electronics.
