Well since the recent group buy of Philip is frozen we have some choices...

Sounds like he is still going to see if Canaan will accept smaller batch buys to allow BTC payment..
His after all in touch with an official rep from Canaan..(Steve forgothislastname).....

So maybe we can still group just us Canucks together for a smaller batch but have Phil execute it..
Doubt Canaan would do the shipping to all the individuals in Canada..
We would probably have to take shipment from him..or sidehack etc..

Just exploring options to see if any interested..
I still think this may be our best shot at getting some A7's...at a decent price..in near future..low risk

.site sells out so fast and resellers are too risky and greedy..

BUT NO LEAFS FANS

They usually start replying to my emails about this time still waiting.

Fingers crossed.

It would be nice if they just helped that order along; and let us bang out 3 smaller orders right quick make everybody happy. I'll definitely wait to hear if we get good news before making any other plans.
But if the worst should happen maybe we could salvage a North America order if we keep within the BTC payment cap.

If we had spare power and enough interested parties I would have no problem reviving this group buy. Alas we don't have additional capacity yet and even when we do we have a huge customer waiting list to fulfill.

Another thing to consider is I think Canaan is not accepting BTC payments on the large pallet purchases.

If one of you had a business you would pay only GST. For example we (CryptoBoreas) pay 5% import taxes when the shipment is made out to our business name.

I would also like to say that if any of you join anyone else here on the thread on a group buy neither I nor CryptoBoreas would be held responsible for any events that may transpire. I suggest starting your own group buy thread if any of you are serious about putting together a group buy.

Cheers!

Thanks for the tip, yeah I think we just congregated here as Canadians, didn't seem to be enough interest to try and set up a Canadian buy.

That was Canadian, using the numbers from the canaan site for estimated shipping and todays exchange. Also a CBSA calculator which estimated around 6900 for duties and taxes, it does note that as personal use so i'm not sure what they would say about a group of personal users. Not bad but it doesn't look like we are close enough to 60 to make it happen.

I've also never set one of these up before so maybe I'm missing something.

What about a 60-pack?

They just added two bulk buy options.

I was just crunching some numbers and based on the CSBA calculator I could get a pallet into Manitoba, and shipped to canadian addresses for approximately 1060-1100. Not to bad if there were enough Canadians we could get together.

I closed the group buy because Canaan refused to offer any discounts at the group buy's level. For now you are better off buying individual units. If you buy a large number of miners (1000+) then I think they are more willing to offer some volume discounts. Contact them directly for further details.

@tntdgcr already paid me a deposit of 5 BTC for 150 units.

Is your client/seller only accepting btc as payment for these?

No - they are a company and can accept USD paid to their company bank account.

Out of curiosity, have all these units sold?

Well, congrats. I think I am personally out of any potential deal due to the prohibitive shipping costs. Best of luck to you and your client!
