Topic: [CLOSED] BITMAIN ANTMINER U3 USA GB (Read 8149 times)

I believe the interest has died down, unfortunately.  If people are still interested, I'm in a position to fund and distribute.  You guys let me know.

Still doing this GB?

Any options for other payment methods if this thing does go forward?

-hA-

We're currently paused due to the painful drop in BTC price after we opened the GB.  If the price settles in this week I'll recalculate and we'll look at the options.

Cheers.

Are you still doing a GB for the U3's I would like one.

Agreed.  I'll pause things and we'll see what BTC does this week.

Cheers.

Great, thanks!

I'm still in for one at this price and rate.

Okay here's a screenshot of the current costs associated with shipping 40 units to the US:



7.446 / 40 = 0.18615 BTC per unit, which comes out to about 66.00 bucks a unit.  I can't hold the bag on the difference, so everyone that's in batch one let me know if you are still on board with the new price.  This is the problem with pulling GBs on hardware priced in USD--I apologize that it went sideways on us!

Let me know if you are still in and we'll put together a payment address.

Cheers.

Ouch!  Bitcoin prices took a bath today--let me go do the math of 40 units with shipping and see where we stand.  We'll have to adjust prices slightly if we want to order immediately.

Alright!

I'll slide up a payment address this evening and we'll get this order placed.  I'll go ahead and start a second batch for anyone else interested--from here out we'll go in increments of 20.

Gotcha!  This brings us to 5 units left for the first order.

I'm going to pick up 30 so we'll bring it down to the next increment that BM will ship, 40.  If we can't scratch up that many orders by Sunday the 26th, I'll go ahead and order 20 and fulfill the orders that have been placed so we don't miss out on the first batch!

I'll do the math on shipping this evening, but I presume it will be the same.  I'm not charging a handling fee on this batch, so we're passing the exact manufacture price to everyone here.

Cheers.

Put me down for 1 please, pm sent.

Yeah, no problem with that--we can definitely meet IRL and pass on the shipping. Let me know how many you would like!

I've not looked too hard for fellow "bitcoiners" in OK, but I imagine there are a few.  I know for a fact their are local sellers on localbitcoin, so someone's in the know.

Any intrest in meeting me somewhere in 73013 so we can skip the shipping? Im 73099 zip code so not to far away...

(been doing this as a hobby now for 3-4 months...love the idea and concept of this all, however have not gotten any friends into this, or people from around here...Glad to see a fellow "middle of the states" guy doing this)

they are pretty cool. i may get one, im still trying to get all the other type usb miners to collect.

I'm banking on the fact that they'll make reasonable gifts for people during the holidays!  I'll also be taking one to work and plopping it on my desk, maybe even give one to the boss.

They're pretty, but can't do mich with 63Ghs.

Hey guys and gals!

I'm polling for interest in pulling together a GB for the newly announced BITMAIN Antminer U3 for US members.  I'll be purchasing up to 30 of the units myself, so we'll have at least 30 to move for other individuals.  Apparently 60 of the devices will weight about 220 lbs., so if their is enough interest we've got to run the math and calculate shipping into the cost of each unit.

Let me know if you are interested by responding to this thread or shooting me a PM (I ran my first successful GB here!) and I'll start the wheels turning--we'll order as soon as we fund the total cost between us.   I'm located in the central US, and have current capacity to package and ship the orders upon arrival in no more than 48 hours.  BITMAIN is stating that these will ship in the first week of November, and they generally hit their windows or ship earlier.

----Cost----

Shipping for 60 units is an additional BTC 1.49, which brings the total cost of shipping 60 to the US to BTC 10.  I'm not going to charge members any additional handling fee, so each unit is priced at BTC 0.167 (minus the final shipping to you in the US).

BTC prices be crazy, ya'll.  We're going to use a fixed BTC price of 0.2 BTC per unit (minus shipping) starting with batch 2.  If things go sideways we'll reevaluate that price!

----Shipping----

I prefer to ship via USPS, as I'm located less than a half mile from a major sorting facility in my area.  Once the units arrive, you can send me a PDF label address shipping from the 73013 ZIP code.  Other shipping methods can be arranged, but please PM me in advance if you plan on using something other than USPS!  I'll provide USPS shipping options in this thread as soon as I get a chance to sit down and do the math.

According to the BM site, each unit is weights slightly over 3 lbs.  I've sent an email to get the dimension of the packaging for each unit, which will allow us to determine the final shipping arrangements.  As soon as I hear back I'll post that data here.
