Drat, and I just replied to you

Thanks for putting in the effort anyway, I had a feeling that AU was probably going to be a bit small for 300 units.

Sorry people, unfortunately the interest in plan B in my PMs were also low. I have no choice but to close this group buy.

Thanks for your support and interest, may your future endeavours go more smoothly next time.

How much do i Need to spend for 2 or 4 Units to Germany?
It seems a Little expensive at first, but size/power Looks better than any VGA Card.
Also, do they work on CGMiner, and how much can be connected to a PC (not power wise, but for example there are only 24 usable drive letters so one can not connect more than 23 usb drives max.).

Hi amigaman

I think so. My understanding in the reason kanoi got a USB miner out of the first (Emerald) batch was to get hardware support into CGMiner, asap.

Cheers,

Update
The mass production of Block Erupter USB is to be done today. Busy testing and packaging will start.

QG

Yer, I saw that. Hope it will spark some interest.

Give how late other vendors are on their own time-lines, one in the hand is worth half a dozen in the bush. And far more likely to recover capex, before difficult increases too much, as a lot who 'poo poo' the cost might think. Time will tell.

Thought someone might be interested in how the Emerald batch is fairing so far. 330MH/s is what Kano is running them at.

thx

So far 1 group buy has ordered and paid on this English forum. If we don't get better numbers after this weekend I'll approach the other group buys to see if we can team up.

May 15 20:41:34 	local temp is low 20'sC
May 15 20:41:42 	(ambient)
May 15 20:42:27 	Whats it hashing at
May 15 20:42:52 	though it is funny, I have a USB cable running across a bunch of other I use for charging my and my kids phones ... and on the end ... this thing can hardly see it :)
May 15 20:43:13 	330MH/s accepted shares
May 15 20:43:17 	(over 2 days)
May 15 20:43:21 	nice
May 15 20:43:28 	10% more than advertised
May 15 20:43:40 	yep - it's actually a little higher
May 15 20:43:47 	but I'm just going on accepted shares
May 15 20:44:05 	Icarus MH/s is an estimate coz how it works (how I wrote it :P)

I have dropped the minimum units per order to 1 (@ 2.16BTC each, for orders under 4 units) to try to increase the interest and orders. This should lower the min. amount to join the group buy to 2.70BTC.

Code:

No. of	Cost Per	Total
Units	Unit	        Cost
1	2.7000	         2.70
2	2.4300	         4.86
3	2.3400	         7.02
4	2.1250	         8.50
5	2.0980	        10.49
6	2.0800	        12.48
7	2.0671	        14.47
8	2.0575	        16.46
9	2.0500	        18.45
10	2.0440	        20.44

We are on day 11 (since announcement for these USB miners). Production of the Sapphire batch is expected to be completed by day 15-20. There's still time.

I'm definitely interested, although I can't pledge any until June.

If you haven't filled up by then I'll re-post for some.

My ASICMINER USB Erupter showed up about an hour ago.
Been playing with the Icarus timing settings still not quite got it right yet.

Obviously yes I'm getting around 300MH/s out of it.

Currently best settings are for anyone wondering while I sort it out:
--icarus-options 115200:2:1 --icarus-timing short

A pic or 2

If you don't already know, at lease 1 ASICMINER USB Miner is already in Australia and being tested on. I believe this particular one is from the experimental batch (Emerald). If this group buy goes ahead, we will be ordering from the the Sapphire Batch(few improvements).
