I never sold any but Id be willing to if anyone was interested. Id have to get a larger USB drive as the blockchain will not fit on a 32Gb drive anymore.

As someone who can only barely keep up with the blockchain's current growth, I was actually thinking of offering this for a while, but obviously have limitations which'd make that pretty difficult. Cheesy Good on you for taking initiative. One of my greatest fears is ending up with a corrupt blockchain I need to re-download from scratch, so it's nice to know there's somewhere to turn if that happens.
Thanks!
My biggest issue I think is proving that the stick is virus free. If anyone has a suggestion on that let me know, otherwise it will just have to be trust.

I only have a 1mb DSL connection at home so I hated redownloading the block chain. I assumed others were in the same situation, which is why I decided to offer this. I do have access to a 50mb connection if I need to get other chains or anything.
I've got a 300mb connection, but it was still a pain downloading the blockchain.
I don't know my exact connection speed (but I'm sure that I'm faster than you, at least 100mb), but downloading full blockchain from scratch takes +6 hrs, even with the core 0.10.0! So if I knew this before downloading full blockchain, I would have bought this. (Of course, tragedy is that downloading blockchain is 1000x faster than waiting for international post delivery.... :p)

Forgive me i have no clue about that but why buy that on usb ?  Huh

No problem. Its because the file size of the Bitcoin blockchain is currently 23GB. In order to send any bitcoin this needs to be downloaded (for some wallets). Rather than waiting days, possibly weeks depending on your internet connection, I offer to ship it to your door on a USB stick.

Sounds like a great service. I'm curious, what brand of flash drive is it? Not all flash drives are created equal haha.

The ones I have currently are ADATA UV128 32GB USB 3.0
