How can I buy 10? obviously need better price than 0.45 BTC each. Please PM or point me to the right direction. I am in California, USA.

I apologize in advance if I sound needlessly argumentative...but by that logic, the extra $640 is the "premium" being charged to guarantee we get the units ordered and they're not DOA?  I don't believe this group buy has made any statements at all related to dealing with DOAs or non-delivery. 

I guess it's my limited budget that has me thinking $640 is too much of a premium to fork out.  I 100% sincerely wish this group buy the best possible outcome...I hope that perhaps in the next group buy the prices will be a bit more in line with what I can afford (and what I believe these devices are actually worth considering the non-existant track record of the manufacture, resellers, etc.)  I guess this goes is in alignment with my limited ability absorb financial risk as we purchasers are taking a large risk in buying these units, with only a minimal 30 day warranty...with only "good will" to ensure this all turns out right,  units are supplied in a timely manner, not DOA, etc. is just too much for me.   

but will asiabtc really deliver?
i dont care about warrenty as long its not DoA

Works grate!!!! I just received a full pack with UPS and special bird for double mining. Thanks to freddy 73!

My are on selling! Full Kit 10 Unti 3000kh! 460w !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just PM!!!!!!

Yeah, I've been thinking about your GB quite a bit...but at .405BTC * 10 = 4.05BTC * ~$800USD = $3240...it puts the offer way out of my budget.   This in context to asiabtc's $2600USD means there's quite a premium for the devices and the additional 3 months of warranty you provide.  Sorry mate, but I've only got $2500 or so budgeted for the "change" from GPU to ASIC/FPGA....so I'll probably sit this round out.  I do very much appreciate the service you provide to this community...if it wasn't for folks like you doing Group Buys, I wouldn't even have a chance to consider such opportunities. 

I also give a 3 month warranty in my group buy on everything but the chip.

Beastlymac -- Yeah 30 days doesn't give me a lot of confidence.  With my luck all 10 of the units would crap out on day 31.   Not meant to be negative towards the product manufacture, but more so a reflection of my actual luck with mining parts.

Mattzees -- Yep, following that thread as well as this one.  Yeah as much as I would love to get in on this, the more and more I reflect on it, the more I think its better to wait till mid/late Feb to see what happens then.  Gridseed may have something new out...that and (fingers crossed) there's also projects out there by Fibbonacci and Flower which in theory will kick-off Q2 which could be comparable...Ultimately my goal is to identify a strategy I feel comfortable with so I come May time frame I'll be off my hot GPU rig and onto ASIC/FPGA solutions instead for the same 3MH.

Also, read this thread...

I have the same issues as you with electric bill and heat.  Right now, I'm heating my house with my rigs.  It's been below 20F outside, my heat is turned off, and it's above 70F inside.  This is obviously not going to work during the summer.  I already have to open windows if the outside temps goes above 40F.

That being said... I don't think these units are the answer to the problem.  The controller is proprietary and a centralized point of failure.  I'm not at all interested in BTC mining with these (because it's pointless), so I'm going to hold out for a more efficient scrypt ASIC product.  

Even Gridseed says they're going to be releasing new product in Feb., and seem to indicate it wil be rack-mounted, which is a better option for me.

The manufacturer offer a 1 month warranty.

Thanks for the info..I didn't know PSU was included so that's nice.  I'm considering it the only reservation I have now is the quality of the product...its got no track record or decent warranty period...my fear is dropping $2600 only have have one or more of the modules crap out...at least with a GPU I've got MSI's warranty to back it up.  Tough decision...I need to cut my monthly power bill and also reduce the heat by the time spring comes around...

It was 10x miners, the controller, all cables and power supplies, a USB hub, and other misc accessories. 
I'm not buying it, just FYI.

Mattzees, did asiabtc also mention what's included in the price? I've been trying to get that squared away on the litecointalk thread, but no one seems to know...its it just the miners+cables+controller board? 

That is the price I got from AsiaBTC via private messages with him.

I've seen this price in one of the posts on the litecointalk.org forums, but I don't know if it was actually confirmed by the seller asiabtc who started that thread.  Did we ever get confirmation from asiabtc that he'll honour this price or was this just more speculation in the thread (or wishful thinking)?

well it was 1/3 down via paypal ....was 100w and no....I probably very likely will bail on it....have 45 days with paypal and paid amex credit card the 1/3 down and amex says I have 90 days on a pre-order ...someone says master card is 120 days ..in other words if you file a claim you have not gotten it (pre-order) you can sit in line an see how it goes...they claim www.alpha-t.net that they will refund full for 30 days after that they will take I think it was 15%...the amex lady just laughed...if you don't get something in 90 days you get your $$$ back if you file a dispute..they can't do that (call amex mastercard or whomever yourself )

anyway will likely punt in another week or so.....have been doing more research (thus you guys) and July is too long to wait (a noob on litecoin)
nothing wrong with sitting in line with paypal and a credit card if you have an exit strategy...did so with www.kncminer.com and got comfortable enough to keep that paypal amex pre-order (thank god oct Jupiter 555gh 7,131.80 usd to usa....today I will hit my 40th coin on slush started mining with it 0ct 18th ordered it july 1st.)

so again nothing wrong with this game as long as they take paypal (use cc option in paypal) or credit card.....always have a way out

yeah I'm gonna punt......like I said they are likely legit prototype fpga etc..but they look like me and my buddy with a 'connection' with a chip mnfg in India trying to make something remotely.......intentions are good I think but they probably won't get the thing out till Fall imho

anyway still learning about litecoin stuff (sure can't get any bitcoin asic miners in the next 2 months at least imho at least from kncminer)

anyway......that is my somewhat warped logic (at this point in BTC you probably should just buy BTC and skip mining getting awful scary....maybe this even works better for LTC too!)

my somewhat odd logic on the above

ok thank you guess I'm stuck for now have a www.alpha-t.net on order and have a couple weeks under paypal to decide if I wish to get this or not they are likely legit but don't seem to have much of a clue yet and state july delivery for 5mh at I think it was around 2200usd (only asked 1/3 down and I can bail with paypal and cc ...again likely legit but july is a long way away)

would xfer usd to btc in the states here and pay for it btc rather have 10 units now at 2600 bucks..but alas seems to complicated to do now and they don't seem to want to sell to the English speaking world or at least not yet

thanks if you trip over some way to do this from USA let us know...I myself and others likely would 'tip' your bitcoin address

Searing

well lets just say google translate did not help me trying to find out how to buy one...can anyone on here give a link to english and/or decpher in
simple english (yeah it is my native language: english but i'm kinda dense)

appreciate it will let everyone know here how it goes

would esp prefer wire xfer info to be clear (i assume they also take that)

The bad thing about this price is that import TAX is more than 21% to EU. If the price would be without it at least!

LightningASIC is shipping to the USA.  10 units plus accessories for $2600 + $150 shipping.
