Having a higher minimum difficulty pays more per share or is it just to prevent miners DDos pool servers?

A difficulty of 2 (vs 1) means you submit, on average, half as many shares, and each share pays twice as much.
i.e. no affect ... other than a higher variance ...

Question: I notice that the reported speed on the website under an account can be much lower than what an Avalon is reporting internally. Have others voiced this concern? I would like to figure out why this is?

Can you tell me how you get the estimated speed and how often it updates and how long one should wait before it is showing the current speed. It is instant or does it take some time for the estmated average speed to reflect what is really being hashed?

Pool estimates are higher than my internal.

Were the all coupons distributed already? Was there a the plan to distribute them gradually, like every 2 hours? Was a cut-off order of 920 a final one, or was only the first step of the coupons distribution cycle?

All coupons were distributed. The original plan was a sort of lottery/grab bag system with multiple batches, but I did find that ASICMINER explicitly wanted them distributed to the last 1.05 orders first, and work backwards from there. As such, all available coupons have been distributed.

CanaryInTheMine has mentioned in one of his threads that he heard additional coupon units will be coming for other orders aside from the ~30% we've received. I have not heard any official confirmation of this from ASICMINER.

The hash rate estimate takes 1 hour to become very accurate. The estimates update every 2 minutes, and the first few updates are generally quite inaccurate, but it gets closer and closer each time.

As always, a pool is going to have variance over what is reported directly inside the miner. My Avalon tends to hold ~81 GH/s internally, but on the pool it varies from 78 to 84 GH/s approximately.

http://i.imgur.com/N269avZ.png is a picture of my 72 hour charts. You can see when evaluated on that time frame, the speed estimate is rock solid and almost identical to the internal reporting of the unit.

I paid for mine. I'm 99% certain I clicked for shipping insurance, but it didn't come up in the final price and I didn't see a way to modify it. .

You're correct...this is fixed on new checkouts with coupons (shipping insurance wasn't looking at Coupon units). If something happens during shipping on the coupon orders that were placed before the fix, I will take the hit since the insurance option was broken during checkout for them.

The approximate cutoff was Order #920. Please remember that they were distributed based on shipping order, which was based on the order units were paid. So some orders prior to 920 did receive coupons because they were paid later (ending up further back in line).

Coupon orders should all ship out on or before Friday of this week. The inventory to fulfill coupon orders was kept separate from regular orders. So even though the order process said August 14+, and the shipping position is probably in the hundreds, you are not actually in the back of the line.

"Missed it by that much!!"

Thanks for the info, now I can stop wondering.

Hello,

Is the California sales tax going to be 0.05 BTC per device on the coupon orders?

-wot

It is not. I will eat the sales tax cost myself on coupon orders to California. During the order process on coupons, you'll notice sales tax is 0 even if you did enter that the order is going to California (unless you have full priced Erupters mixed in with the same order).

Wow that is generous thanks for being a great place to buy block erupters!

Just placed my coupon order.

Coupons are now available in the store for users that had orders eligible for them. The notice has not yet been added to the website, but if you try to place an order and have any coupons available, there will be an option in the order page for: COUPON: USB Block Erupter 0.15000 per Device.

Notice will be added to the website soon to alert you if you have any coupons available.

There are still a few coupons to distribute so you may see the notice in an hour or two if you don't have them already. Remember: They're applied starting at the last 1.05 order to ship, and working backwards. If you ordered in the first 2 weeks, its highly unlikely you are eligible for any coupons. Please remember that I did not set the rules for this. ASICMINER determined when to drop the price, and the coupons are something they were not obligated to provide.

Eleuthria, is it possible to post a order # cut-off where coupons were already distributed?

That would be very helpful! Yes, please can you do this?
