US Stratum appears to be under attack. I'm working on routing DNS around it ASAP.
UPDATE: Attack appears to not have been targeted specifically at BTC Guild's servers. Everything is up and running normally from what I can see. Let me know if you're having problems. The new colocation project is still in process, which should provide higher quality connections and 100% uptime outside of targeted attacks, hopefully within the next month.

One of the three US based Stratum servers crashed recently. It's currently being rebooted. Hopefully most users ended up moving to another server when the first one stopped responding. The IP for the offline server has been removed from the round robin DNS until it has recovered.

Wow, I did not expect this many responses from international orders. A small update for those overseas:
International shipping is not cheap, and can be very slow when not using larger services that specialize in getting packages around the world quickly. A large amount of the shipping cost is the same regardless of package size. This means small orders are not worth doing internationally, at least when the origin is in the US.
If you're not in North America, and are only interested in a few units (1-10), I highly recommend looking through the forums for people shipping near your country. My shipping system is almost exclusively United States Postal Service because I am able to purchase and print the postage rapidly thanks to a USB Scale and Thermal Label Printer that interface with Stamps.com. USPS shipping is not cheap when looking at international orders that include tracking.
I will not be able to provide quotes on shipping prices to international orders until after I have received the units so I can clearly determine the weight and size of each unit to determine the proper box sizes needed for international shipping.

Price: 2.47 BTC from YXT = theft at this price
Could you be more clueless?Price: 2.47 BTC from YXT = theft at this price
The price dropped to 1 BTC.
It's utterly stupid to buy from the US, you're going to pay a lot of import taxes and shipping.
You probably just killed a dozen or so of somebody's eBay sales at 2.45BTC or so by "disclosing" that fact...
Can you believe these are still catching bids at over $200 ??
June 26, 2013, 07:06:44 AM
what's the current price, then ?

You can buy them directly from yxt, shipping from Germany. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gb-usb-asic-miner-closed-and-completed-195037LOL..LOL

That's not the current price, that was the original price and includes a 20% VAT. (and that GB is long since over and done.)
YXT is currently FriedCat's exclusive dealer for the EU.

Setting up a store page on the BTC Guild website right now (only visible to me for now). For the first batch(es), orders will be limited to users with BTC Guild accounts, though nothing stops you from registering one. This is mostly to avoid any overhead of requiring shopping cart registration/order tracking pages.
Orders will be first paid-first shipped, and the shopping cart will be available until the last unit has been paid for. If the situation arises where users are racing for the last product, they will be given the option of a quick refund, or simply keep their place in line for future batches, which will normally have a 3-5 business day lead time.
All orders will be handled directly by BTC Guild, not a third party processor. Units will be shipped via USPS First Class mail which includes tracking. Smaller orders will be shipped in Bubble Mailers, larger orders in boxes. Initial batches will be BTC to avoid the need to deal with fraudulent charge-backs.
If all goes well, expect orders to be opened up on Friday for the first 100 units. At this time the planned cost is 1.0 BTC base price (0.99 cost + 0.01 handling), plus the cost to ship. Shipping costs are ESTIMATED as follows:
1-3 units: 0.03 BTC
4-9 units: 0.08 BTC
10+ units: 0.15 BTC
So an order of 3 miners would be 3.03 BTC. An order of 9 miners would be 9.08 BTC. An order of 20 miners would be 20.15 BTC. These prices are all for US based orders. International orders are possible, but will cost more for shipping [varies by country]. To place an order from outside the US, you will have to contact me for a proper price.

Dude in a casino once told me the mathematical probability of hitting black on the roulette wheel is the same no matter if it hit 17 times in a row prior...

Luck hasn't been very good the last 48 hours. PPLNS (like DGM, Slush, Proportional, and most SMPPS pools) suffers variance, so your rewards will go up/down depending on the pool's luck. The pool is still positive since the difficulty change, but right now we're in a bad spell. But as it states on the PPLNS Stats page at the bottom: Past luck is not an indicator of future performance. We could easily bounce back to 130-140% over the next 24 hours.
...or not.
Shun the non believer! Shun! (Just had a shift end above PPS finally...last 3 days have been painful).
