Received my 2 USB devices also, had forgot I had asked them to be delivered to my work address and they had been lying there probably for some time so very happy with both the product and the seller.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just some feedback on the thread:
The cards arrived yesterday in Germany, redelivery in the country also is done. AFAIK no problems at all.
Tested one of them for the speed question with H2testw v1.4:

A quick update to EU and USA customers:
Your package has arrived in its destination country and should be with you shortly.
Thanks for the feedback Craynon and Openyoureyes.
To OpenYourEyes: Thanks for the performance numbers and some more information on the probable class of the card .

Read/Write speeds if any one is interested (using FAT32):
Read: 26.20 MB/sec
Write: 6.3 MB/s
So I'd guess from a quick test that these are class 6 cards- pretty good
Read: 26.20 MB/sec
Write: 6.3 MB/s
Code:
READ
hdparm -t /dev/sdc
Timing buffered disk reads: 80 MB in 3.05 seconds = 26.20 MB/sec
Timing cached reads: 15096 MB in 2.00 seconds = 7554.25 MB/sec
Code:
WRITE
dd if=/dev/zero of=speedFile bs=1M count=1024 conv=fdatasync,notrunc
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out

Hey everyone.
Units have been shipped out. The EU and US units were shipped out via Airsure and depending on custom they should arrive within 2-7 working days. The UK units were shipped out via Royal Mail 1st class. I don't know about the class of the cards but I will test them out tomorrow and give you an estimate of what speeds you should expect. If you need any more information send me a pm or reply to this topic.
Thanks,
Teka
edit: Bulk orders above 25 units are still accepted.

Do you have any idea what (speed) class the memory is?
It is a USB device and should be Version 2.0 - you can see the contact so it aint 3.0 . And there are no "speed classes" - Version 2.0 varies, more on e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus ; the speed data of this device was not communicated and was not subject to this product as it is IMHO more a matter of design.By the way I cannot imagine a usb 3.0 device to be this thin because all connectors I can find are quite well shielded and thus not thin enough.
USB2.0 has a max. data rate of around 60MB/s, but the type of memory inside the stick (I'm not sure what is being used) will have a performance limit.
If, for example, an SD card at class 10 is used, then the maximum write speed will be 10MB/s, regardless of the fact USB2.0 can hand a bandwidth of 60MB/s.
I personally think of putting several preconfigured wallet software on these ones with additional information to give away to beginners (bitcoin-qt without wallet.dat but with a preloaded blockchain signed by me, brainwallet.org and bitaddress.org, vanitygen as "offline files", list of shops, links and some tutorials/howtos).
Sounds good, it would make a nice, small, gift.I like to remaster my own live Linux distributions, so I'm thinking about putting a couple of them on their for personal/computer repair use, along with a version of Linux for using an offline Armory wallet.

Don't worry, Craynon vouched for him being legit.
The units have been manufactured and are being shipped out to me so they will probably arrive on Wednesday. If you have a any doubts about me not being legit you could always ask Tinua (His Order has been fulfilled and he has received 25 working units) . There were simply no updates to give out until today.

Hi Everyone,
The cards have been ordered. The manufacturing time takes around 1-3 days and shipping normally takes around 2-4 days.
Thanks,

I'm in the UK and I'm very interested in taking 2 if that would at all be possible? Pay by BTC.

Hello Teka! Just saw this neat little product of yours. Since I am in the USA, I would like to buy 3 to mitigate the shipping costs. I am expecting ~ 1.05 btc as a total. Just send me a PM with your wallet address and I will pay and reply with my shipping address when you are ready.
Thanks!
PS. Did you make your 50 quota?

What a great idea. I would love to purchase one but I simply don't have the BTC/paypal to get one right now. Congratz on getting more than the 24 orders you were originally looking to get and best of luck in the future .

Do you have a shipping estimate?
The worst case scenario is that items will be shipped out on the 15th of may but I'm hoping that I can ship them out on the 10th.
