Has any reseller received any Blades from the "Agust 11th" advertised re-stocking date?
I would like to buy one of those Blades, but I would like to buy from a reseller who has them in stock already, no preorders.
Regards.

In the US CanaryInTheMine seems to be pretty on top of supply of asicminer stuff. i think if Canary stated the new blades in the group buy, that would mean they are starting to get widely distributed.

purely speculation on my part though, im just a humble miner / bitcointalk.org forum lurker

Does anyone know if there is a delay in restocking Erupter USB sticks ? Sad Have been patiently awaiting a response from friedcat to place another order.


Same here. Expected to hear lat weekend...

Canary seems to have a consistent supply.

Probably since they want to sell off their old inventory first and the longer they can keep the better blades in-house, the better for ASICMiner shareholders.  Honestly, don't buy the hardware, it a suckers deal.  Buy the shares!

I believe it was the 18th but there was definitely a date there; guess they want to sell off the old ones first before announcing the new ones.

You probably nailed it - Canary just posted in one of his reseller threads that the new blades will have the same performance of the old blades and to feel free to continue with the old blade purchases instead of waiting.

Didn't the opening post used to say that the new blades were expected on the 17th?

People have been warned many, many times about the economics of mining and simply ignored it.

They deserve to lose - and it seems to be the only way they'll learn.
They wont ... learn

Seems to me people are buying these in bulk, getting that bulk discount, mining with them for a month, then reselling for USUALLY a little more than they bought them for effectively mining for free and getting a small return on selling each one individually.

And No I'm not talking about the resellers, I'm talking about people purchasing from these resellers.

The people buying from these individuals are the ones losing.

I bought 2 for 1.48BTC total (after taxes and shipping), mined 0.078BTC, and then sold them for 1.38BTC and 4oz of pure silver bullion (~$90)

I would love to buy more for the novelty, but not until they hit the 0.2BTC price range

just to quote what you said:

"(ASICMINER) have created thousands and thousands of pissed off customers that thought they were going to "print money" but got taken to the cleaners"

AM didn't tell them they were going to "print money", the customers didn't do their due diligence. Not AM's fault.

Presumably all these thousands and thousands of "pissed off" customers won't come back, and that will be the end of AM's hardware sales. Or perhaps they will sell out in days again?

I'm just struggling to understand why you are having a go at AM? They made no false promises with their products, did not guarantee or even suggest any returns, simply put a product out there that people couldn't get enough of. Nobody forced anyone to buy them. People want mining equipment now, not vaporware that may appear or may not appear.

If people can't use a ROI investment calculator then they shouldn't be in this business. Again, their responsibility, not AM's.


Again with the defensiveness?!?

I never said AM told people anything.  Stop reading me as an attack and perhaps you will understand.  I never stated AM is responsible for the foolishness of others.  I said they are taking advantage of them.  This is great for the shareholders and re-sellers.  Not the miners.

Yes thousands but there are thousands more waiting in line to get burned (for now).  I just don't think its a long term business model as the number of fools will eventually run out and then it will become a problem for AM.  Unless the business plan is "take the money and run".  It does not promote bitcoin in a positive way.

By your logic, people still fall for Nigerian 419 scams deserve to be scammed. Before you get all defensive again.  MY POINT AGAIN IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND FOOLS ARE BORN EVERY SECOND.  Do you really expect people to use proper ROI investment calculators?  Seriously?

This is constructive criticism for them to contemplate, not an attack.  If you don't want to listen, then I can't help you.  If I were a shareholder I would be concerned about this.

Cheers.


Cool. But businesses all over the world charge "what they can get away with". That includes AM, Apple, Microsoft. That's what business is in this capitalist world.

I am not being defensive. I am defending the right of a company to put out a product at a price THEY CHOOSE and see if it sells. Comparing them to Nigerian scammers is sad.

As people have pointed out in many threads, there are lots of reasons people have bought these things, not just for the ROI, or lack of it.

Shareholders should not be concerned about whether the last model sold out in a few minutes. They should be concerned if the next batch gets sold at a profit or sits on AM's shelves gathering dust. We have yet to see that. But presumably if they sell out again, you will yet again have a bitch about AM and how they are "taking advantage" of people that can't use calculators.

You have a very patronising attitude towards other people's purchasing decisions. Or perhaps you just bought some USB sticks and were pissed off when they didn't make the money back?

Interesting chart.  It appears that the Bitcoin hashing network is the most powerful distributed supercomputer on the planet by far...

yes, absolutely. but very dumb supercomputer indeed.

edit:
well, not dumb. just not a supercomputer but a "dedicated solver" Smiley

we roll dice REALLY well.

world's largest and/or fastest psuedorandom number generater?

<256 bits every 10 minutes isn't exactly quick (you can't count the leading 0s since they are predetermined)

every hash is a psuedo-random number regardless if it is used or not. at least in my opinion. People here tend to focus on what we are doing and not what else could be done.
Largest maybe, but certainly not the fastest.




Sure, but the reason block hashes are used is because they are verifiable.  For instance you can run a lottery and determine the winner based on the hash of block #X.  I supposed feeding the lower bits of your mining share hashes into your entropy pool would be useful, but most people have no need for that much entropy.  If they do have a need, they are better off with a hardware RNG.
