A bit more interest than I expected between the forum and IRC. Got some emails out to ASICMINER right now to setup a buy and also get some timeline details for different order sizes. I will post an update after an order is made, identifying when I will start selling them and how they will be available. Obviously BTC will be the first available method for payment, since dealing in USD is risky business when it comes to chargebacks.

I'll buy one for the novelty.

Whoohoo! Just went over 100,000 shares! Cheesy

Let's see whether I can get to a million within a reasonable time frame Wink

How long have you been mining? Or are/were you relay slow?

Not exactly the reaction I was hoping for, but I started on this pool on June 8th

I have a 300 MHash miner directed here full-time.

Sorry to hear that man.

@Eleuthria : I would be interested in a couple.

Since I'm growing impatient waiting on my Avalon, BFL is still 9 months behind on pre-orders, and I've lost any desire to trust a new upstart with "pre order" ASICs, I'm starting to consider buying a batch of ASICMINER USB miners, and selling off the excess basically at cost to BTC Guild users in the US that don't want to commit to a full order (minimum is 50 units), and would rather not join in a group buy.

Just out of curiosity, are any of the US-based Guild miners interested? Price would be 1.01 BTC per ASICMINER USB (~330 MH/s). That's 0.99 [cost] + 0.02 shipping (possibly 0.03 shipping, but I'm pretty sure First Class USPS with Tracking would be under $2 unless they're heavier than they look).

Huh? I thought they were 1.99 each? Did they lower the price?

Oh my god, I'm fucked. I paid twice as much.

Nothing set in stone yet guys, just trying to gauge interest before I place an order. I'm mostly interested in them as a way to experiment with ASIC mining [since I bet I'd get them before my Batch 2 ships], as well as be able to help people who have problems setting them up. However, it looks like I won't have a problem reselling them at reasonable prices with smaller orders.

I've been very happy with CGMiner 3.2.1 on my Win7 mining rig. I have had trouble with running multiple instances on multiple pools but if I mine them all on one pool everything runs flawlessly.

They are fun to experiment with. And the blinky lights are very nice

Merely FYI.

I like this calculator:
http://www.coinish.com/calc/#

With the new cost of 1btc per unit, looks to me like the profit at twelve months will be between -$35 and -$60 USD. (It all depends on your difficulty rate of increase assumption.)

IOWs, you might make back about half of what you paid with twelve months of 100% efficiency mining.

If you start mining on it *today*.

Well a calculator is a useful tool, but is not reality. Only time will tell if they are a good deal or not. Also we have no idea how long they will last, nor what will happen to BTC prices. I got 2+ years out of my GPU's mining 24/7. Block Erupters make allot less noise, heat not to mention use allot less electricity. So I plan on mining these for years, if they last that long.

Sure, I'll take 6 more at that price.

Minor cosmetic change: Hall of Fame Rankings no longer show miners that haven't submitted a single share in the last hour, which drastically increased how fast that page loads [and reduced the load of a script, yay!].

Was wondering why i jumped a few spots in my team and was missing members! But it does seem to load faster yes.

Now if we(I) could only see the page to admire your handiwork.

I would have thought that the attacker would have gotten bored by now.

Surprised you would have a problem with Under Attack mode [all my phones/tablets/computers pass the checks]. I did turn it off just now, forgot to do so when I woke up this morning. Sorry!

I guess the page requires java script. I have that disabled.

Overall the last few days have been very productive at reducing the performance impact of large scripts. I'm continuing to monitor the DB load and testing page load times at various intervals to see if there's any more time I can shave off before a hardware upgrade is required.
