We're going to need a bigger heatsink.
If valkir isn't up for it I'd love to coordinate it--I also live in canada.

I'll probably be starting the next batch manufacture within a week or two. If you want to coordinate another group buy I don't have a problem with it. I believe bitcoinware is planning on restocking for their website sales as well, if that helps anyone. I'm not sure how their price compares to valkir's.

Maybe edit OP and Title to say that the group buy is finished/close. If you're willing to do it again for the last batch when it come out, then that would be cool to know too!

Humm you never confirm me via PM. I do not have the stick and need to see if sidehack still have some. I will let you know.

Edit: Please do not send any more BTC. The group buy is closed for now. Sidehack have sold all the sticks.

That's pretty ridiculous, even my bank realized this and is open till 9PM now.

I guess you can trust Poste Canada to continue digging its grave. It's evolving really slow and not keeping up with the pace of the modern age.

Are you sure you're not actually at a bank? Seems like around here they only work between 10AM and 3PM.

Our post office opens at 8AM and closes at 5PM M-F and noon Saturdays. The next town over, theirs closes at 4:30.

There should be no duty, as the items were manufactured in USA.  There should only be GST or HST payable plus whatever brokerage fee the courier charged (i think Canadian customs now charges $10 for assessing/clearing, on top of what a courier may charge).

Good will check that to be sure.

Indeed, slap them NAFTA in their face. Also you can calculate what it should have cost on their website;

Woah 125$ border fee? Thats crazy for a 525$ import, make sure they didn't do a mistake and are trying to fuck us over!

For shipping, for me just use a bubble envelope. For instance 50-100g would be 1.80$ postage fee. The envelope are 1.79 for one or like 5$ for a pack of 10. (All CAD prices)

yeah something is not right as the fees should be like 5%-10% ? It's like 2.5 times what it should be.

Make sure they did use the right category of custom fees for the package.

Sent me your address in a PM and I will come get them tomorrow ! (Or when you're available)

thanks

Like I said before, border will be hard to negotiate since they are already paid by canada post. I will check just to be sure but dont hope for a reduce on that.

Sending you a PM

I will check but Im not sure I can really argue with the border fee.
For the bubbleenveloppe, im going to the post office right now and will let you know later.

Perhaps, just sound like they did a mistake. I got 600CAD~ worth of ASIC recently and the border fee was 27CAD~. I'll pay and if they refund their mistake then we'll see but yeah its several time what it should be.

So I just receive the miner. (Well I need to go get them at the post office  Tongue )

The border fee is 125$ (124.21$ exactly)

I need the postal adress of every buyer to make the final bill.  Grin

Send me this via PM

Edit: Ok I check a little bit the price of canada post. Should be around 10$ cad + 5$ for the border. So 15$ cad instead of 15$usd+ border.

No so bad!  Grin Let me know what you guys think. 10$ is 3 day. You can get 1 day for 15$


-armedmilitia 2/paid = 5+5+10 = 20 Cad
-HerbPean 2/paid = 5+5 (if pick up in montreal) = 10 cad
-cryptoglance 4/paid = (5*4)+10 = 30 cad
-sk8erskid420 3/paid = (3*5)+10 = 25 cad

-tcrasher 5/Paid = (5*5)+10 = 35 cad
-Finksy 2/Paid = 5+5+10 = 20 cad

1 day for me! Can I have total BTC amount owed?

I need you full adress  Wink

Edit: I will have to do it tomorrow.  Angry

Looks like a few more details worked out and I'll have one of those 49-port hubs to play with. Which is pretty cool. Some of the bulk orders from resellers are 50 sticks, so I would actually be able to briefly max it out while testing those batches.

Hey, y'all wanna see something cool?



That's the 8 sticks that didn't get shipped on Friday, each having cooked at 200MHz for about 55 hours at this point. There's also a fresh 21 sticks I just generated today, waiting to be flashed and burned. I should have as many again done tomorrow, which means we could be shipping 50 sticks come Tuesday. That would get us through the first big order, the three pending international orders and another two off the small queue. The 30 after that will get us through the next big batch (which is Canada GB), probably going out Thursday. That'd give us an even 100 sticks shipped.
As of right now, I have 45 sticks in small buys going out after Canada, with one large buy (Venezuela) in the middle of it. So after 165 sticks the only things left to ship (as of right now) are large orders, including Australia and a few website resellers.

We will receive them near next week.  Grin

any estimates on shipping cost?

buying direct, its $40usd/1 or $150usd/5 ($30usd/ea)

presumably you could sell them for something closer to $25usd/stick + ($10usd/1) or ($15usd/5) in the reship. which is pretty small savings

if its cheaper than that though, sign me up for 2-3 sticks

32 hours mean if you guys want your stick, you need to make the first payments  Wink

Hi all

I will be doing a group buy for sidehack stick for Canada. It will give us the opportunity to paid one border and 1 shipping. I will then use canada post to ship to everyone.

This is the topic:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gekkoscience-bm1384-project-development-discussion-995675

The USB stick already have been tested by many good reviewer.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11817067



Can get as low as 0.3w/gh.

Just let me know how much you want to I can manage all with Sidehack. (Max 10 per person)

Total : 23 paid

Original 7 members

-Valkir 2/paid
-armedmilitia 2/paid
-HerbPean 2/paid
-cryptoglance 4/paid
-sk8erskid420 3/paid
-SFMiner 2/paid
-VirosaGITS 1/paid


Added after:

First payment to sidehack : https://blockchain.info/tx/96c9fe91568e1c08f9bae6502a094397835966c07d2475ce49e9fd145f1aee70

Second payment for shipping.
So, the border was 124.21$ CAD
Let see how much you would have paid with direct Sidehack.

example for 1 stick.
15$ US + Border fee and the stick + postal fee =
  
20$ (sidehack shipping 15$us) + 1.14975 * 33.38$ (25$us) + 9.99$ (postal fee) = 68.37$ CAD

example for 2 sticks
15$ US + Border fee and the stick + postal fee =
  
20$ (sidehack shipping 15$us) + 1.14975 * 66.73$ (50$us) + 9.99$ (postal fee) = 106.70$ CAD

Now let see what people have paid and need to paid.

example for 2 sticks
15$ US + Border fee and the stick + postal fee =
  
20$ (sidehack shipping 15$us) + 1.14975 * 133.47.73$ (100$us) + 9.99$ (postal fee) = 183.45$ CAD

Now let see what people have paid and need to paid.
