Topic: SAY NO TO "PRE-ORDERS"! 2asic.com starts shipping ASICMINER hardware world wide. (Read 3823 times)

Super outdated price, or am I missing something???  $64.99 for a BE??

Has someone ordered from this site? Just want to know, as there are a lot scammers out there...

Most others are sold out of blades, we have a very limited number left. Get them while you can... it may be a month or more before any new ASIC hardware becomes available.

and dont forget the inventory clearance for the blades from CanaryInTheMine member

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/inventory-clearance-10-13-gh-blade-for-5-btc-282785

When I see them @ $500.00 USD or 524.54 CAD I would pick up 2. So long as it's soon Difficulty makes hardware devalue at an alarming rate.

If you look at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-asicminer-hardware-information-270573 you will see the USB are selling for .35 in large quantity amd .399 for 1.  That indicates your pricing on them is at least 20% higher then could be gotten there.  In both places they are listed as "IN stock", so if I were foolish enough to buy one, it'd be from them.

You are still selling them for pretty much double the new price.  100% markup seems ridiculous since you're just reselling it.

Wow, how quickly things change in Bitcoinland!!

The price of Block Erupter Blades has been dramatically reduced, and are now available for only $899 CAD! Thanks to friedcat for greatly expanding the supply and lowering the price on this hardware.

All customers who have purchased block erupters through 2asic.com have been compensated for the difference.

Happy now???!!!!

Those overpriced things will never see ROI.
Calculator answer: roi considering reduction: NEVER.
Good only as a gadget or to show it to your grandchildren.
"Take a look my grandson, this is how monetary revolution has begun".

Stupidly overpriced.

Same same from all ASICMINER resellers. They should rename this to "SUCKER THREAD"

So the idea here is that a in hand dead-on-arrival product that will hardly break even is better than a preorder?
Not hating, just curious about the business model...

However, the devices are useless, because they will never generate any ROI.

Example: the USB block erupter:
Price: 70CAD (~67USD, ~0.5BTC at current rate)
Speed: 0.34GH/s
Power: 5W

So, if I get it this instant and start mining, it will generate about 0.08BTC/month. If the difficulty froze at the current 66M, it would take the miner a bit more then 6 months to generate the 0.5BTC I paid for it. However, difficulty is increasing really quickly, so in reality it will take much much longer to generate the 0.5BTC and it probably never will because the point where the 5W to run it costs more than it generates.

OK, the USB block erupter is a toy essentially, so how about the blade?

Price: 1900CAD (~1800USD, ~15BTC @$120/BTC)
Speed: 13GH/s
Power: 120W

If I plug it in now, it will generate 3.02BTC/month. If the difficulty stayed constant at 66M and I had free electricity, it would take a bit less than 5 months to generate the 15BTC I paid for it. In reality it will take much longer and probably will never reach the 15BTC before it starts producing less than what I pay for the energy to run it.

So, both devices will result in a loss, if you hope that BTC price will increase then spend the CAD to buy BTC directly or just keep you BTC if you were planning to buy the devices using BTC.

This is the reason why people pre-order stuff. If the unit arrives on time, then you will hopefully get ROI. While there is no risk involved in buying ASICMiner devices, there also is no profit (potential or otherwise), just loss.

marketplace goods/auctions on this board. honestly, not sure if is now superclever to buy any mining HW.)

If you guys know of a cheaper place to get Bitcoin mining hardware (real, not theoretical), please let me know! Anyone can tell you they will send you a 200 TH/s miner in three months for $5 (of course they will ask you to pay today). Some people want real hardware that will actually mine Bitcoins at the advertised rate! That is what we can offer.

If I posted this in the wrong section, would a moderator please move it to the correct place? Thanks in advance.

Big thanks to everyone for your orders and comments.   

wrong section, overpriced HW. go away.

2asic? More like 2expensive!

I was agreeing with you.

break even is what? 2 years? if you lucky enough it doesn't break apart lol

Go back and re-read.. I wasn't touting that this was a good deal by any means..

Like I said before...These are brand new at 10.25 BTC from ASICMiner. At current BTC market price that is roughly $1300. But you are asking $1900. That's a nearly 50% markup cost. Totally ridiculous price.
