Would putting my address in the signed message put my address permanently in the block chain? By signing, where does the message go exactly?
Ill send once i know how to sign and be sure my identity and details are only seen by the parties involved with the transaction.
EDIT: Also, with usps standards, do i have to put my full name in the address format above my mailing address?

The message signing process is only to prove you own
You will want to sign the message right after you send payment. Once payment is sent, copy the bitcoin address you sent the payment from and copy the transaction ID to enter in your message.

Hope this helps.
That's awesome, Thanks you should make a post in the technical support forum. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0 n (ask for sticky status)
(One little difference between owning an address and proof you sent from an address. note the bold text above)
In line 1 - I would add Klestin comment below, as it may be hard to find the "from address" (and a note, you only need to use one of the from addresses.)
In your Bitcoin client, double-click the payment transaction, and copy the transaction ID. Visit http://blockexplorer.com/tx/[your transaction ID]. On that page, copy the top "From address". Enter that in the top field under File->Sign Message.
Also I would add how to verify a message. (call me green but this was a hurdle for me as I had no idea what I was doing, I did not understand that: "The message signing process is only to prove you own the sending Bitcoin address" and I had to sent the address through e-mail or another medium other than the Bitcoin network, and the message verification was just a way of proving my message was genuine provided I kept my send address and message limited to myself and the other party.
I'd like to increase my order from 1 unit to 3.
Thanks for the detailed write up on how to sign a message - I was getting the question so many times via PM. I've added the quote to the OP.
Yep, I've been monitoring the thread regularly and can confirm that we're at
currently. 
I'll add that ticker to the OP too.
I am just waiting to figure out how to sign a message. It would be easier for me to just put my spreadsheet order number at the end of my transaction. e.g. BTC 2.101300XX
I was also hoping John would show up and confirm the transactions are coming in like he wants.

The profitability of this little USB unit is about 0.015BTC per day. (see http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ ) This will last until the next bunch of Asics is released in the comming months. Timer removed. End time: 2013-05-10+04:18:59

Given the 0.015BTC profitability will diminish fast, every day is important in recouping costs.
It should be understood that keeping the order books open will be costing the group about 4.5BTC ($500) a day. That can't be recouped once the difficulty changes.
So processing the order book as soon as possible, is in the best interest of the paid group.

The message signing process is only to prove you own a certain bitcoin address.
You will want to sign the message right after you send payment. Once payment is sent, copy the bitcoin address you sent the payment from and copy the transaction ID to enter in your message.
If using bitcoin-qt:
Click file, then sign message:
In line 1 - enter the bitcoin address you sent the payment from
In line 2 - construct a detailed message based of the example shown below. Best to use details about the payment sent including transaction number etc.
Then click the button labeled sign message (3)
After you click that button, you will get this message:
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.
Moving some funding around - will pay as soon as it makes it (hopefully Monday at the latest).
Payment sent
I haven't sent either, but will probably remember to do so tonight.
I crashed after I got home from work yesterday so didn't notice that payment had started, will send payment once I get home from work today
I'll take 3. Sending payment tomorrow. 
i will send payment now but i want to ask do you ship to Egypt or i have to have USA address ?
ok, out of 92 orders, 44 remain unpaid.
i would add up how many actual miners that is, but... well, it's 1 am and i'm way to tired to be sure i'd do it accurately.

I am willing to buy more...
I figure if we do have holdouts, and we need to find buyers for those units, let us know.
I will be willing to pick up a few more to secure the fact that I get the ones I already ordered.

Ok, I'll just throw some satoshis on as a "gratuity". It will be my penalty for being order number 301 
It will be nice to have the spreadsheet finalized and then we can see who the "holdouts" are.

this is more stressful then i expected.

When you see payment for 300 units, put in a 24 hour deadline for the rest.

signing is weird, i know. as you can see in the thread, it's been problematic.
your plan is fine. go for it.
