I guess the PT share of AM in BTCT or BF are not qualified for the "shipping first" policy? Just direct shares. Huh

Probably. BTCT shares however can be transferred to you personally. The info should be somewhere in the original thread or the AM info-page on btct.

Where do I go to place an order of 50, in the US?

He charges a mark up.

I think laughingbear (me including) is more interested in getting them from the source for .99 BTC

Yes, my markup is 1.01618-.99 = 0.02618 per device. For $2.82 per device you get expedient service and peace of mind knowing that you will get everything as expected. If you are ordering over 30 units you get FedEx next day shipping included.
No matter what you say, this an excellent service. But we all know you do have a bone to grind with me. So coinhoarder, I encourage you to handle your own orders and I'll continue distributing ASICMiner/friedcat's product. See my signature.
Thanks

If it costs $1 of electricity to mine $100 worth of bitcoins, it's a waste of effort. Very inefficient management of your money/time..

Are you sure about that?

Yes because your rooftop solar array would cost more than $1, so it's cheaper to just pay for the electricity. Unless you already have the solar array and is not using it for something else...

I am really excited to hear of this price drop!

Is anyone here who is buying 50 willing to sell me one at or near cost?

I was holding out and saving for one of these.. But At the old prices couldn't justify it.
When I save up enough or someone wants to give me a 1BTC loan I'd love to have one.

I'm about 1/10 saved up to 1BTC at the moment. Cheesy

Power consumption isn't much of an issue anymore. ASICS are much more energy efficient.

So efficient you can power them with a sub-rooftop sized solar array. One panel is about a million times easier to deal with than the system a GPU farm would have required. You can make the electricity required to run your hardware a sunk cost just like the ASIC. Pure profit from that day on out.

I'm interested in picking up a batch of 50 of these to play around with some solar mining ideas I've had. I think I could run TEN of these, a raspberry pi, and an independent mesh radio node with a single cheap 230watt panel. That gets you 3.3GHash/sec with zero power draw for life. So small you can almost package them under the panel like the enphase inverters do.

Power consumption and cost of power are definitely an issue when you are looking at a product that will take years to mine the amount of coins you spent on it initially.

Everyone who bought these USB sticks for sale at a higher price will now be forced to sell them at a loss or be stuck with them.
Serves them right! Tongue

I'm interested in picking up a batch of 50 of these to play around with some solar mining ideas I've had. I think I could run TEN of these, a raspberry pi, and an independent mesh radio node with a single cheap 230watt panel 24/7. That gets you 3.3GHash/sec with zero power draw for life. So small you can almost package them under the panel like the enphase modular inverters do. Fully modular, self-contained mining hardware with power generation and networking built in. Or to look at it another way, solar panels that pay you bitcoins and don't need wires. Or AC connect permits or any of that nonsense.

Total system would be;

10 Block Eruptor USB
1 Rasp Pi
1 Powered 10port hub
1 OM2P-LC Mesh AP
1 230 watt solar panel
1 20a MPPT controller
1 100ah Pba battery
1 12v to 5v 10a DC-DC converter

Total consumption should be well under 35 watts total for 3.3GHash.

Creepy... as a Asicminer shareholder i wouldnt like to risk 3 shares in value of 9.51BTC for one USB-Miner value 0.99BTC.
I guess it was meant as a bonus for shareholders but the risk involved would keep me away from buying. I mean normal buyers dont risk anything.

You don't 'risk' 3 shares if you buy a stick, you just are not allowed to sell/transfer them because you have some unpaid sticks shipped to you.
The advantage is that you can pay a few weeks later (and have some time to collect the money from the people you resell them to, for example)

Only problem you can get with it is if you don't pay after 2 weeks.. but hey, that's called scamming..
The shares are at friedcat' anyway, so if you don't trust him with 3 shares/stick you shouldn't have shares anyway Tongue

what about a new price for the blades?

This-

I'm excited to see ASICMINER actually become affordable. A year ROI isn't bad, granted there is a lot of power to come onto the network in the coming months, but it seems these will at least make ROI in a year to 2 years.

However, buying 100 USB miners is a bit redundant.. I'd rather buy a similar priced blades and only have 4 things to mess around with rather than 100 USB sticks.

This isn't fair for Canadians. I want to order 1000 USBS. However, I want to take advantage of my previous 50BTC order so that I can get 50BTC off, but WTCR in Canada won't be able to honor this. It now seems that Friedcat is screening out Canadian emails as he hasn't replied to me for quite awhile now, as he probably wants me to deal directly with WTCR. Bullshit.
