I would like 1 blade. I would have to wait for coinbase to transfer in. Let me know if that is acceptable.
Thanks

12/15/13 I am out of AsicMiner cubes but should receive some more in the coming week at a new lower price to be determined once I receive them. If you have placed an order for cubes prior to this announcement, I have you covered.
   I have 20 new backplanes for sale at 0.13 btc each LIMIT 2 EACH. I have 10 new blades for sale at 0.36 btc each LIMIT 2 EACH. I am lowering the price on 49 port USB hubs to 0.11 btc each with the only limit being when I run out of the hubs. Shipping for backplanes and hubs are listed in the OP. Shipping for blades is 0.008 btc each or a preprinted usps flat rate padded envelope for one/regional A box for two.
  All orders for backplanes and blades must be posted publicly here in this group buy first(what you are purchasing) and then paid within 2 hours of posting to give everyone a fair chance at the very limited amount available of blades/backplanes. Please remember, I only have 10 blades and 20 backplanes with a maximum of 2 each per person. There is no limit on hubs and they can be ordered privately via PM as usual. Thank you for your orders.

Do you need to connect cube to a computer to run it, or is this like those independent mining machines ?

You can run it that way to get going but I suggest at some point running it through a stratum proxy as it will speed up hashing and reduce the load on your router/wan.

I prefer bfgminer but I'm running OS X.8 with homebrew and I noticed a more consistent higher speed after pointing it from the pool directly to the bfgminer. The only setting to change on the blade is the server ip (your login id on the blade is ignored) which you set to the workstation running stratum (or other client). You can even set failover pools so in my case for example if bitminter is being hammered and or down, it switches to btcguild and will switch back of btcguild stutters or goes down. (setup your pools how ever you want).

Keep in mind that your workstation will need a static ip or dhcp reservation so it doesn't change.

lol... i think the issue isnt a day or 2 delay...   as my tracking info still says the package is at the same place it was dropped off last saturday... SSB ships these things Priority mail.... not parcel post....   these is really no reason the USPS should be taking this long.... its not like its a big surprise every decemeber they have extra packages....   UPS and FEDex plan for it and stuff makes it on time....

on another note....  i did order something had it overnighted......    this is how my USPS guy handed it to me today

oh that package says fragile.... its a football lets kick it around.....




Yes, Got some like that. In fact got one package that was completely open and a miracle I received anything at all ;-)

Remember that video about the stock room people tossing iPads at each other?

Somewhere in a huge USPS sorting center, people are placing bets on how many tosses it takes to "open" the corner on a box or make something that had no noise begin to rattle.

I ordered a hub from SSB awhile back. The fuse melted and destroyed the hub. SSB quickly told me to send it back and he would replace it. I figured it he would wait until he got mine to ship me the new one. I emailed him a prepaid shipping label and he shipped it even before I got mine out. Thanks SSB! I have ordered from SSB many times and I have NEVER been let down.

I would like to step in here and explain the issues of the last week with some packages being delayed by USPS. This is how it was explained to me by employees at my local USPS processing and distribution center where all your packages are dropped off at for shipment. Priority mail is flown on FedEx planes to the nearest FedEx airport/facility for shipment to the local USPS processing and distribution center throughout the year. Priority mail used to be flown on fedex planes and now due to Christmas, priorities are being trucked by usps because fedex has no room on planes. Thus indirectly, the delays are because of FedEx not flying USPS mail and the mail being shipped by truck across the country. This will change a few days after Christmas with all mail being flown on FedEx planes once again.
  I feel for those of you having delayed shipments. Please keep this group buy civil as anxiety/frustration runs high when waiting on hardware where time is everything. I have been told that all USPS express mail still flies on FedEx planes so this may be an option for orders if you need it by a certain date. Please have a great end of year holiday and a happy new year! SSB

im remaining civil... im just pointing out the the problems with the USPS....   this is by no means the first issue ive had with them.... I just wanted people to be aware.... and make sure they get the insurance.....

SSB always ships quickly.....  the problem is what happens once its out of his hands.....    
Thank you. The civil comment is just in general and not directed at anyone. I just don't want the thread getting out of hand. USPS does have problems. Insurance is good. SSB

USPS is just always gonna be cheapest for stuff we ship.  Unless I got a big package I don't mess with UPS/FedEx and I tend to avoid shipping anything that big :-)
Not entirely true, if you ship a lot they give you a discount which makes it just plain stupid to use USPS.

I'm sure SSB ships enough to get this discount with UPS, if he wanted to. Problem is it does take time and phone calls
I have to work around my real life job which is 5-6 days a week and 12 hour days. I can get shipments sent at USPS distribution center and they have been very reliable until last week for deliveries in a timely fashion. UPS here won't pick up shipments from me until I am at work and I can't drop them off until afternoons when they are open(and I am already at work). FedEx is very reliable but until the cube miners came out, the USB and blades were much cheaper to send USPS. I may start to accept preprinted FedEx labels next year if there is enough demand. Thanks for the info. SSB
