Topic: [CLOSED] batch #20/21 .31 - .35 btc for USB miners & 10.25 blades - USA only - page 27. (Read 72308 times)

I'm also interested

 

Interested in this, I've never been part of a group buy yet. But, I can't wait.

PM sent. I hope you can reply soon, as I'm getting ready to get offline.

how much for shipping locally and international on top of 0.31?

Dont worry, you posted before I did. must be psychic
-
Including International?

It will follow my usual write-ups for group buys...

Sure -- even me at that price.

count me in as usual

Following.

This pricing is getting ridiculous.  I just squeezed in on #18 for 0.55, and now they're down to 0.35.  If I had just waited a few days I would have been able to get two instead of one with the paltry few bitcoins I have.  So do I wait a week and order at 0.35BTC, or two weeks when they'll be 0.25BTC?  I've been on the wrong side of just about every price break.  As probably have most other people considering how much the price changes.

OK, complaining done.  Now off to see how quickly I can get 0.35BTC together.

Watching and awaiting details....

Received a few PMs about USB hubs, here's a good thread on it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/which-usb-hub-to-use-with-block-erupters-nanofury-nf1-bpmc-red-fury-ant-u1-253749

example of a signed message:


and this is what you'd PM me by copying from above example:

That's it!!!
--------------------------
how to send a shipping label:
you will essentially download that pdf label from usps and email it to [email protected] (email used for labels only, contact with questions via PM here)
thank you BorisAlt for putting together a quick how-to guide: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2928336
in the body of the email, you will have 4 things:
1. transaction id of your order
2. 1st payment address of the transaction
3. tracking number (no spaces)
4. Signature (you will sign ONLY the tracking # from item #3)
additionally, if you use this method, you no longer need to PM me shipping address as a signed message.  trying to make things simpler for all.
I will check that the tracking number in item 3 matches the label exactly.
--------------------------
guidelines for your own labels:

small priority box fits 14 USB miners
medium priority box fits 100 USB miners
large priority box first 140 USB miners
20 USB miners fit into a flat-rate padded envelope

1-2 blades should fit into a medium priority/express box.
we're testing how many fit into a large priority box.  there's no "large" flat rate express box, once size mentioned in the above line.

--------------------------
If you are a re-seller on eBay or other outlets, I can handle your shipping of USB miners.
- you sell
- send me the appropriate label (pdf) you generate for your sold order.
- I ship from zip 60181
- you pay me a handling fee for handling each order (negotiated).
- sit back and relax... don't bother shipping. I do that with my elves for you.

all you need to do is pay for and reserve a specific amount of units that are yours in my inventory.  I can extend credit to you and make a larger reservation initially.  so that you can use those 50 btc per day from coinbase daily and make use of negotiated credit terms.

contact me to enter into such an arrangement.  previous large purchasers will have easier starting credit terms with me  

Thanks,

Canary

100+ .32 each
200+ .31 each
1000+ PM me.

you don't need to spend btc on shipping:

If you want to generate your own label for me to ship with (such as USPS.com/FedEx) : .31 btc per unit. (check post #2, will post more instructions there in a few days as well for those who don't know how to create labels)
how to create a shipping label by BorisAlt: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2928336
Blades:

10.25 btc each (you supply the shipping label)

10.25 + shipping cost (you choose from several options with me)
To secure your units, send 10.25btc per unit.
use a btc calculator and you will see that everyday, the blade is good for 0.12889410 btc generated (using next estimated difficulty).  my shipments are lighting fast and I'm the fastest reseller.  so, if it takes you 2 extra days to receive your blade using different pricing, it's like giving up 0.2577882 btc.  is it worth it? no, you want them in your hands ASAP, and that means letting me handle your orders.  please take a second to understand this  I can clarify if you'd like. just let me know.

4.52TH/s - 4,516,763 MH/s producing, ASICMiner USBs have been distributed by me so far.

I am 4 miles from a MAJOR DHL hub that receives these orders from China.  My delivery times are the best.  packages sent to me by ASICMiner are in my hand the same day they enter US.  They do not take an extra day or two to travel the country to get to me.  It takes me 11 minutes to drive to DHL when necessary.   My location is in a major metropolitan area next to a LARGE international airport that is a hub for shipping for all delivery companies.  This gives me access to DHL, FedEx (also just 4 miles away, open till 9 PM for next day shipping).  I have access to several Post Offices around me.  I can ship USPS till 7 PM.  I ship to you the same day I receive my delivery.  Simply put, I am in the best position geographically and logistically to receive an order and to get it out to you ASAP.  Period.

If you are new to this (aka noob), please read this so that you understand what to do.  This is the single most problematic step in the ordering process.  Here's how to sign a message with a blockchain.info wallet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/help-how-do-i-sign-a-message-using-my-blockchaininfo-address-180068 Please verify the signed message yourself before you send it to me

how to send a shipping label:
I'm writing up some basic instructions to add to this post... you will essentially download that pdf label from usps and email it to [email protected] (email used for labels only, contact with questions via PM here)
in the body of the email, you will have 4 things:
1. transaction id of your order

Common Questions:
When will I receive my order? Answer: I ship out the same day I receive inventory from ASICMiner/friedcat.  I do reserve up to 1 day to get it done in case DHL delivers later in the day.

Can you confirm my order? Answer:  you can confirm your own order by looking up the transaction id of your payment.  if it has confirmations that is your confirmation that your funds were received.  This is what I would do to "confirm" your order.  bitcoin is designed in a way to allow you to confirm and see what you've done.

Folks and miners,

As announced in the Official ASICMINER Hardware Information thread, I am a reseller in the USA of ASICMiner products.  International buyers, please contact your respective re-sellers.

Please Note:
Only send payments from an address you control (i.e. you can sign with it). If you send from MtGox or other exchanges, you risk loosing your funds since you can't prove you sent them. Please send from a wallet you can sign a message with.  You will send your shipping address via this method.

Policy update:
Refunds: Your orders are binding after your funds have been used to pay for an order.  Before that (while coins are piling up for the next batch), you can ask for a refund and will get it paid back in full. Understand that after you get refunded, I will not accept future orders from you.

Notes
  1. Fans are not accompanied with blades anymore. They were more or less intended to serve as a help of quick setup and mining testing for users who haven't got proper cooling yet, but turns out to be quite misleading by making people think the fans are powerful enough to cool the (already)over-voltaged and (easily)over-clocked blades.
  2. To make the whole shipping process smooth enough, no more racks are given out or for sales. As a compensate we practice the bulk price discount as shown above.
  3. Please be aware that the payment processing and shipping will be less prioritized than the remaining orders in the third auction. It may be 1-2 days less timely before the third auction's shipping is completed. After that it will resume the instant-style speed.
----------------------
Note, local pickup is no longer available for orders less than 100 units.
