Communication:
I live in Chicago (CST time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours) and have a day-job that allows me ample time to devote to this endeavor. I do sleep at night, so if I don't answer at night, please be patient.

Cheers,

Canary

The one thing anyone can do to make everything smooth and easy is sign a message with a wallet you control.  If you can't sign a message with your shipping info, you will create delays for yourself and slow me down too.

Next, when signing a message, most of the time I have no clue what the actual message is, it's hard to guess and in order to verify, it has to be precise.

For example:
http://i39.tinypic.com/nn660x.jpg

You should send me something like this:

Address: 1L6ZbfnfMmcqFPJ97aZNqozKZQjDWppcmj
-------------BEGIN---------------------
Please ship to:
John Smith
123 Way Ave
City, IL 60188

Can I order one?

Absolutely!

I would like to place an order for 10 of these. It might be local pickup. I'll PM you

responded

i sent a PM yesterday regarding local pickup. can you take a look at it for me and reply? interested in picking up 1-2 of these from you.

re-responded :)

Can you confirm/acknowledge receipt of my payment? :)

here's what yours might look like:

http://i41.tinypic.com/t9abyo.jpg

How many of these could my raspberry pi handle using a hub?

First and foremost, depends on how much power your hub can supply.

As a newbie, can someone explain the whole "signing" thing. I use Coinbase, if that matters.

Thanks a bunch, want to get in on these.

Assuming each of these take about 500mAh I would need like a min of 1amp hub. But lets take that out of the equation, I want to know how many of these could I have on my raspberry pi. I know by standards is that the max you can have is 127 on a regular PC. Can the Pi handle 127 of these lol.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195647.msg2291965#msg2291965

with a powered external hub you probably can have many... alot of us are getting these hubs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGQWL2/

https://blockchain.info/tx/b9cb60ee3b90586dc4181d125357455b1abe3fd665166dd256d3d8f463bba6ad
got it and your order is listed on OP.
Thanks!
Hope we reach 50 quickly, so that I can send the order to friedcat ASAP.

I am ordering 5, just need to transfer some BTC from a few wallets to my 'main wallet' and you will have them. 5 PCS will be paid for within a few hours from this group buy (feel free to hold 5 for me and I will send payment asap within a few hours).

Great!! that makes 12 solid commitments..  so we are up to 19/50 at the moment

Strike that. Apparently I am a moron and need to download the entire block chain again, will take forever. I'll send an order in when all is said and done but don't hold any for me yet.

i will take one. do we get to say what color we want? i might be interested in more but not sure as of yet.

If I receive multiple colors, I could let folks choose to some degree...

Realized I had my old BTC wallet on my laptop, and law and behold. It had a few BTC in it :)

<TheSwede75>; <2>; <BTC4.2118>; <13kPwnvBdLoMPmYqYEXW5r8DSx7j4avg7G>

If I can choose I prefer Red and Orange, but if I can't choose I prefer whatever the hell color they come in :)

Note: Verify this address. Don't just trust me. Though Canary might want to put it into the original post.

Dithering but definitely in for one. Just waiting for the requisite confirmations to be able to use a wallet I can sign with.

Just can't resist a Canary Group Buy …

Gathering for more....

MikeMike,
everything is tracked on the first post. Thanks

MikeMike for an additional 5 making a total of 11pc.

next day fee of .12 applied to USB Erupters since 10+ pcs includes next day.

Will confirm once BTC clear on my end.

You got it!

Using same sig.
The Public Note will show it's for-  "addition 5pc USB Erupters total 11pc. same shipping address"
I figured it could help close out this set.

 ;)

This is filling much faster than I expected.
Intended to add another to my order but funds won't be in til later tomorrow - Canary, do you anticipate running yet another buy after this?

Yes,  I just purchased advertising on Facebook... I will keep running these as long as there's demand and as long as friedcat has them on hand...

Canary,
I might be off by .0001 BTC
 :-\
If so I will make it up on next order.
 :)

I want in, but most likely won't have the coin in time. Glad to hear you'll keep doing them!

Let's get this order placed in the next 12 hours :) I will order 2 with next day shipping as I need to test them out before my UK group order ships. My payments will reach you in the next two hours. One payment of 4.2118 BTC for two units and one payment of 0.12 btc for next day shipping. If this 2nd group buy lasts more than 24 hours, I may add to my order with my dividends from AsicMiner shares ;D Congrats on your miners from arklan's group buy. I will post my order details properly once my payment has been sent. Thanks!

Does this go by Gox weighted average or what ?

that's fine

i believe so

let me know when you send so I can update your order

I'm in for two, if Canary is on board.  I think that gives us 50.

We are over 50 easily 8)

Indeed we are

Thanks for the group buy. Good luck with your advertising efforts :)

Please update on who got in on time.
This is the first time I have bought something from this forum, and the first time I have put notes, labels, signatures, etc on a BTC transaction. I am medicated *cough* so there is a good chance I screwed something up.
Thanks

AnonBitcoinBuyer; 1; 2.2218; 1EwYcymFsTvYTx4FYSq8nsp6mYgbBaQbw

I would like to order one for 2.2218 BTC. 

Can I fit into this group order?

if you send now, yes

I assume you will be requesting shipping address via PM shortly?

Timer removed. End time: 2013-05-29+11:26:59

right after I send payment to fried cat and update the list of orders...

I can just add another to my current order for 1.99 BTC, right?

yes, you have like 2 seconds...

I am transferring the funds to bitcoins so I can pay.  Hopefully I can still make it.

sent 1.99 BTC

Time to start group buy number 3!? (Right after payment to friedcat and update of orders) ;)

Yanz +.12 for express shipping sent from 1GhNkFnaXgcEBuJwgJhXHLjXZJrqLNFKbV

This group buy is officially closed.
last transaction id for this purchase is 4803fed642a361e0d394ee0cd9f8f0451304a9f8a40abe0f3d0ef84739fff681

yes

so since I havent actually sent the BTC am I not getting in on this 1st 50+ group buy?  i can send the BTC around 3pm CST.

I will have a 3rd group by up by that time.  you will get in on that one

my impulse to buy 5 of them might have waned by then...   ;)

Woo, in before the cutoff :)

OK, no problem. if it re-emerges by 3 PM CST, you know what to do ;)

Looking at buy for 5 low end to 10 on high end.

order list updated on original post.  Please double check and report any discrepancies I need to fix.
now we wait for shipment :)

Don't see me on there. Don't see the transaction on the blockchain either. It's in BitcoinSpinner's transaction list though :(

If I take a screenshot of Bitcoinspinner, can you count my order? I wouldn't expect you to ship until you received funds. Even happy to double-fund from my other wallet when I get home at 6 central (if you'll send back the problem one if/when it finally goes through)

3rd group buy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219422.0

if it's not on the blockchaininfo then I will not receive your payment. ever.

once you figure out what's going on with it, feel free to place your order, I've setup a 3rd group buy here: 3rd group buy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219422.0

3rd group buy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219422.0

Bitcoinspinner is a light client which talks to a backend server. I'm thinking the transaction is caught up on their server and will likely jump out on to the bigger blockchain at some point (or maybe not. I guess that part of the chain gets orphaned or something?). I understand your position though and will jump on the 3rd buy when I get home and can get my wallet back online.

If the original transaction does somehow go through, I'll hope that you will refund it (minus network fees of course) with my apologies for the inconvenience.

no problem.  refund will be sent once it gets here.

I sent the 1.99 BTC to add the third unit to my order, but my third unit didn't show up on the order list.
Transaction ID: 4803fed642a361e0d394ee0cd9f8f0451304a9f8a40abe0f3d0ef84739fff681

Just as a followup, it looks like what happened is that BitcoinSpinner attempted to use an immature input that had been recently mined to make the payment so it was rejected. The author thinks it will still go through once the input matures though.

does that mean you found a bug?

Thanks for the info! no worries, I will double check later today and fix anything that's screwed up with your order.

Excellent.
And thanks for hooking us up with this group buy!
You rawk!

PM with signed message details and shipping info sent.

Thanks for organizing this group buy!

+1 on both counts - looking forward to these!

I sent you a PM about this, but please update list showing that I paid for overnight shipping on my two. Thanks!

Just signed message as per your standards and sent you PM with info. Thanks!

you're all set. sleep well.

Just sent a PM w/ signed message address details.

Any word on shipping for this order from friedcat?

LOL 
this group will be the first to know after I find out... I will post it.  Till then, we wait to hear about the tracking number.

I sent a PM with my ship address, signed. Can you update OP containing list of buyers, to denote whether a confirmed ship address was received?

good idea, will do this, gimmi some time for group 2.  I'll do this with group 1 first.

is this it? https://blockchain.info/tx/6b92ba8967f1a8794b30acc30e8dc13848e2cab70cb919d29c15631e184f0f3d
i can send refund?

What that looked like in my head …

https://i.imgur.com/o4mpZnA.jpg

Apologies - back to business …

 Anyone,

My search ran dry looking for a viable client to set up a Verified Bitcoin Account with that links to my checking and accepts bank wires, cash, check,
paypal balances, moneypak cards that's secure and not too costly.

All the ones I was looking at are bye=bye...
They don't have to accept all the above but 1-3 of them could work.

 :(

Have you tried btcquick.com?  relevant thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=123961.0

8%! of transactions!  :o
What happened to the 1% place???

Which one was that?
I ran across a decent one last week but lost the link.
You can trade and 1% for all cash in transactions a little high OK percentage.
HHHHEEEEELPPPPPP!!!!MMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!   Sorry I got "Caught in the Web"...

If you want to purchase btc and have it in your wallet within a day the only places I know of are BitInstant.com & BTCQuick.com
Have you looked on the wiki?
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_Bitcoins_(the_noob_version)

If you are in the US coinbase.com is good, although they won't let you withdraw the btc until the deposit from your bank clears.

Still looks fine for me.  If you are just seeing the normal pages that don't require login, click on your name in the top right and then on "transactions".  Then you should see the menu that has buy/sell bitcoins.

They cancelled Capital One as a Depositor and linkeable account.
I think Chase is gone too now correct?

THEY should give you a list of Banksters that they deal with.

I haven't heard anything about them not working with certain banks.  But we are way off topic anyway :-\.

Yea,
Cap One is dead...
I'd open an account somewhere IF I knew where to go!

Get a load of this:
Cap1 and Chase both hooked up with BTC and dropped them HARD hoping they could Break BTC.

Fuck them then... find a local credit union.  You'll get better features, lower fees, and better customer service.  I never understood why people continue to use the megabanks when they are obviously creating problems for the economy.

I'm in a small Town.

Don't get me wrong BTC IS the future and scares the h***l out of the banksters.
BUT- The first man to the "easy crypto currency" wins...

All these sights need to have video tutorials that talk to you giving you all the most common answers to the questions
and a high end tutorial for those not savvy...
 :-X

When will you have them?

Our order has shipped.  I've received the DHL tracking number. :)

Wow, that was quick, hopefully customs is nice to us. :)

Does friedcat ship from within the US? or are they shipping from a warehouse in China (I assume so since he's using DHL)?

China I believe.

SHENZHEN, CHINA. They ship via DHL Express Worldwide which usually means delivery in a day or so if customs plays nice.

Wow, that should mean that I could have the miners here in Missouri next week! :)

Just following up - can you please update the OP to reflect this for me? .12 upgrade to next day shipping

I'm trying to understand the photos of the USB Erupter. Am I correct that one side has a colored metal plate, and the other side has exposed electronic components? Because I also see photos where one side is components, and other side has heatsink fins visible. Me confused :(

Those pictures with heatsink fins are from prototype batch, Emerald, that has green board. The batch now on sale is Emereld, it has blue board and metal plate with bitcoin logo as heatsink.

Yes the Blue PC boards with total AL closed in box are the SAPPHIRE model.

done...

Been searching for best software and inputs for these usb units.
Could someone post a relevant thread for bcg and cgi running these units?

Just look in the Auction forum for Friedcat's posts reg the miners. There are also threads here for the best powered USB hubs etc.

It tough sifting through hundreds of posts trying to figure out if what's being discussed is even Relevant.

Fantastic!

Thanks Canary for all the time and efforts putting these orders together!
 :D

Thanks Will Do more research there when time allows.

I Got an Idea...

I'm sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere, but are you going to do a 3rd group buy?

Group buy #3 is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219422.0
But that has already closed. Looks like #4 will happen next week.

Thank you!

If Group #1 is any indication - and everyone works on saturday - it should be in IL in the next 24h!

Thanks for the updates Canary!

That's Incredible lead time!
firedcat sure does it right.

Payment-->shipment in 24 hours?  Wow.

Avalon and BFL, are you paying attention?

Really interested in the next group buy, what would be the shipping time to Chicago?

Seriously!
All week I have been asking myself if it is better to have a superior product in the future (that meaning sometime between next month and next year) or any product at all right dee folk now.
At this point, I have opted to hedge my bet and do both. Time will tell which was the better investment.

you can pickup in Chicago if you want

 :D With anticipation!

Called DHL to see if I could maybe go pick it up this weekend, but was told that they will arrive in Chicago on Monday and that delivery to me is scheduled for Monday as well.

:(
oh well - at least I can stop hitting refresh on this page :)

4th group buy here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=222960.0

If you are using USPS/FedEX for next Day Delivery:
Could you please ad Signature Verification to my orders.

Good I see you are Including Insurance for the Orders!
Not only that but you have to wait till the FIRST transaction is completed before you can do another.
*first time only*

I already do that on all shipments

Excellent. Don't want these puppies left at my door.

Coinbase has a 6-Day waiting Period!!!
Once you make the purchase from your checking account you Cannot Use the Bitcoins FOR 6-DAYS!
It' like having your money Seized!

The one thing anyone can do to make everything smooth and easy is sign a message with a wallet you control.  If you can't sign a message with your shipping info, you will create delays for yourself and slow me down too.

Next, when signing a message, most of the time I have no clue what the actual message is, it's hard to guess and in order to verify, it has to be precise.

For example:
http://i39.tinypic.com/nn660x.jpg

You should send me something like this:

Address: 1L6ZbfnfMmcqFPJ97aZNqozKZQjDWppcmj
-------------BEGIN---------------------
Please ship to:
John Smith
123 Way Ave
City, IL 60188
--------------END----------------------
Signature: INB7sIYNK8eJ/qZZ/wS/l5nYjjdkOx6zXLZvjUMBGw/l+sjYfRcWgDi4B/+/Op9Y/uRqupjtpjSdMB2TLK96FBw=

The waiting period is not a set number of days.  You get the BTC as soon as the ACH payment clears.  You don't expect them to let you withdraw BTC before they get their USD do you?  At least you can lock in your price, vs other methods where you wait for the USD to move and hope the price doesn't go up while you wait.

Oh, and I'm from a small town too.  In fact, we don't have any nonlocal banks.  Nobody here wants to bank with a huge nationwide bank because history shows it is a bad idea.

Could you please confirm if sent PMs / signatures were validated?
OP could have the nice table design groups #1 and #4 got now ;)

Tks Sir.

+1 :) Hopefully CITM gets them from DHL tomorrow (Monday)!!!!

Only if coinbase had mentioned that simple fact...
My research found they are trying to change that soon.

The two smaller banks I used to deal with were bought up by the nationwides.

It would be great if Credit Unions went Local. Like one in every town.
One problem is many Credit Unions don't offer the services the banks do.
If somehow they got together to offer competitive services that would go a long way for many on the sidelines.

They give you an over estimate on the time when they show you the details and ask you to confirm.  I'm not sure how they could make it more clear, but if you have a suggestion of a better place to post the terms I'm sure they would appreciate feedback.

What features are you looking for?  With mine I have free checking with 1.77% interest and refunds of any ATM fees.  There is no minimum balance.  I have access to free online bill pay, but I don't use it.

In my experience, credit unions have much better options than banks.

I love Credit Unions!  ;D

IF I had one in my town I could use it.
Features as hours from 8am-6pm and closing 2pm on Saturday for small business is very helpful.

Ah.  For me, the lobby is not open past 4, but the drive through is open until 6.  They do close at noon on Saturday though.

I like that "snip" feature :)
If I deposit a check by ATM before 8pm it clears the next day. Very handy when you work late...
The drive through till 6pm could work for me though.

Just a quick question about shipping; is the FedEx option is the same as overnight shipping? Thanks again for hosting this sale!

fedex is next day via fedex.  primarily applies to those who ordered 10+
overnight shipping is USPS Express which can be added on for .12 if you bought less than 10 units but want next day shipping anyway.

Canary, can you confirm that you got my signed message? Thanks kindly.

Hi Canary,

I just PM'd you a second attempt at a signature. This time, I closely followed the format of your great looking example, so hoping that resolves the verification issue. I was able to get it to verify with the brainwallet.org tool. Sorry for the trouble :/

Did anyone else make payment from a blockchain.info address and, if so, are you having trouble getting your signed message verified for this group buy? I've now signed my message twice in blockchain.info, tested the signature in the brainwallet.org verification tool, and then sent to Canary but he says they don't verify in QT client? I checked in my own installation of QT, and indeed the blockchain.info generated signature is not verifying in QT (however it does in brainwallet). Very puzzled and not sure how to proceed because, as far as I know, there is no way to import an address into QT which is quite problematic here since that appears to be the only way Canary verifies signatures...

I need you to send just the shipping address in your message.  you are sending a very long message and spacing is getting messed up, therefore I can not verify.
if you can follow my example that would be great,
Thanks!

With Canary's guidance, I was able to determine that have empty lines in the message is likely the culprit. He had me retry with a message containing only my address and it did indeed verify in brainwallet.org and QT client. Thanks Canary!

Folks, anyone with a red NO please use this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217981.msg2290766#msg2290766 to send me a signed message ASAP to avoid delays.

All with a green YES, please do not resend me anything.

good night

I had an issue. There were no blank lines.
All I can think is the Page I was on was not connecting to the server.
Maybe close out & try again?

Sweet! ;D

Original payment of 2 miners here https://blockchain.info/tx/f4a98221132d4c4875f93a9aeacfffda7442a0e5f19eb4bc6a3aebe5174ccec2 with payment for next day delivery here https://blockchain.info/address/1MTQWeCvRRevN7fpDdnNk4ijpEEZJB3krA .

ok... group 2 and 3 all at once... let's do this!!

Please do!
 :)

Sweet.

Any idea on colors? I'm trying to get my hands on a white one and a gold one to complete my set!

Everything shipped out for group 2.  Stale needs to come pickup, that's it.  now to deal with group 3 and the impossible to verify messages... (after I get back from FedEx location)

Thanks CITM! Can't wait to receive mine. If you mailed it USPS Priority today, I should get it by end of week latest. Keeping fingers crossed! Once I get it, I'm sure the next thing will be screaming at it, trying to get it to work properly!

PM'ed, thanks!

i'm going to be incognito for 1 hr, need to finish entering shipping info into insurance system... got 1 hr till cutoff

Thanks for the prompt shipping. Excellent way to run a group buy. Maybe these miners will get to me before other miners that I ordered! ;D

Thanks for all your efforts!

You've got me running to the door every time the neighbor's dog barks.

Your neighbor trained his dog to bark at ASICS?  ;D

LOL! But I'm depressed. Total network hash rate has shot through the roof the past 1-2 weeks. I believe the next difficulty increase is going to be up 25%-33%!!

My lonely 333 MH/s erupter is going to be pitiful lol!

My wife says mine just arrived at home. Opened them up to find a red and a black erupter. Thanks Canary - you clearly do an amazing job with all of your group buys (incredible turn around upon receiving them!) and you're an asset to the community.

Your hard work is very much appreciated by all of us!

ICA 2 and ICA 3 have way high HW errors and way low accepted shares... is there an RMA process?

that's just variance over time, however, feel free to send back. and pay return postage, I will send you different sticks.
you may want to give it a few hours there...
edit- on second glance, your HW errors are pretty high on those... where is it plugged in? are they in a dead airflow zone? post a pic plz..

get more! sell off those GPUs... LOL

your welcome!!

It appears my computer was just smoking some crack or something....
No matter what order I plugged them in, logical positions 2 and 3 were always getting hardware errors.  So I unplug them all and try them one at a time... they all work.  I start with one and add one at a time.  I get to the last one, and it still works.  I've got no idea what my problem was before, but it seems to have worked itself out.  Thanks for the eagerness to resolve the issue, but it looks like I'm okay.

Hoping people don't have to RMA these puppies and that they last a long time. Although I understand there is a lifetime warranty on the board, it would be a PITA to ship back to China!

My order arrived at noon on Tuesday in Las Vegas. Thanks a lot!

your welcome!!

Received my unit today. Packed very well, fast ship. CITM is da bomb!

Group buy #5 is setup here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=226656.0

Thank you CanaryInTheMine. Received mine today and am mining today. Great service and great communication skills. Good luck with the new group buys!

Please, Could those who can consider posting relevant information to setting up your mining rigs for the USB Erupters here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220905.msg2326671#msg2326671

Hope this is not considered spam.
 :)

MikeMike, you're gonna become an expert at this!!  ;D

Thanks! It helps...
 ;)

honestly heartwarming to witness such an evolution =)

If ya'll bought Miners from Canary, why not give the man some trust points!

I did, but it looks like I'm the only one.

no, or the feedback only shows up if it's from a trusted member.

what does my numbers say?

mods, please close this thread
