Total: 53 Units

Ordered from Canary on July 11th, expected arrival within a few days

When would they ship?

Within 1 day of me receiving them from friedcat. I'm trying to get in touch with him for a payment address and estimation right now.

Days? Weeks? Months?

Any estimate would be helpful.

Assuming shipping is in July, I'll be sending payment for 3 units.

Payment received, 17 left. I'm waiting to hear back from friedcat. If he does not ship in July, I can refund your payment.

Sending payment now.

3 units.

Received, 14 units left

Sent payment, 2 units.

Received, 12 left.

Sent payment for 5 more units + upgraded shipping.

8 units total for me.

If the product isn't shipped before the end of July, please let me know. I may be interested in receiving a refund like Radivent.

Received, 7 left.

I've contacted friedcat and still waiting for a response.  Orders for most users are expected to start on the 11th so I hope to receive a payment address soon. If for some reason friedcat does not respond, I will be refunding all payments in full.

About to send payment for yet another erupter (total 9).

No point in not getting a whole hub running if I'm already buying 8 :P

EDIT: Sent. I'm down for 9.

Sent payment for 3 units + shipping.

where are you based ?

best regards,
ilpirata79

Sent payment for 1 unit + shipping.

Payments received, 2 left

Bought 2,sent signed message to you in PM.Hope thats where I was supposed to send it.

Thanks !!!!

Received. 50 stick purchase is set to go, hopefully friedcat starts contacting non-VIP resellers tomorrow. I've decided to extend the first group purchase at cost for another 30 chips, or until friedcat provides a payment address.

PM sent with a few questions.

Cool,more for sale  ;D  How can I add to my orginal order?? Or can I ??

I must have missed the memo. How does one become a "VIP reseller"?

Hi, just sent 0.99BTC payment for another, my total now = 3

Thanks.

Phil

Calculate total for number purchased and send a new payment with the difference


Someone else's terminology. There's a few that say they've received contact from friedcat saying units are back in stock(only individuals that have sold 1000 possibly?). It appears though that most have not received contact, yet.


Received, 29 left at cost.

sent you another PM on my potential order. thanks

Ok,1.98 BTC sent for 2 more  ;D

Thanks again!!

Will probably be putting in an order for another miner sometime today.

Not 100% sure right now, though.

I'll be interested in 2. Will send my payment sometime tomorrow.

Will you refund us if you dont get a confirmation from friedcat on the 11th or 12th?

I have spotted a few group buy co-ordinators on the forum that have finished their deals with friedcat already, but that may be timezone related, I dont know where friedcat is but if he is on this side of the world that may explain it.

17 hours ahead of you in the USA, and off to bed now. (its 9.30pm here in Brisbane)

Goodnight all.

Phil

Yes, you are all welcome to a refund at any point actually. For what it's worth, friedcat is still showing out of stock on the main announcement page. I'm not sure how long it will take for him to respond to me but I'm willing to wait in order to develop a rapport for future orders. For those of you willing to wait with me, I've got the coin to cover any orders that drop out.

Also note that I've been contacted by Canary and I may complete the group order through him if I don't receive word from friedcat today.

Still no response from friedcat, I'm going to go through with a purchase from canary tonight at a discounted price. Because of this, I'm willing to take .03 BTC per unit off of each of your orders. Going through canary does mean you will have to wait for shipping from canary to me before I ship the units to all of you. If this is not acceptable, please let me know and I will refund your purchase.

With this news, I am closing the group buy at 53 units.

Sounds good to me CG  ;D   How long for shipping then ?? Just a guesstamate will do  ;)

So we get "cash" back?? You've been watching too many commercials on TV,haven't you  :D

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

BTW,that trust thing on here don't show correctly does it??  How can we add "trust" ??

Haha, thanks, I'll get an estimate and let you guys know tonight. They will be shipped via express to me, so very soon after canary receives them.

Canary purchased yesterday and says they'll be arriving within the next few days. He will be sending express to me and upon me receiving the units, I will send them immediately to all buyers still participating.

Works for me.  The .03 refund/unit is a nice touch.  Thanks!

Barely made it to the post office in time, but I received from canary and shipped out all orders today. I'll send tracking numbers tonight. Thanks again guys, sorry I was unable to get in touch with friedcat for direct orders.

Did you get my shipment out? I know I PM'd you a little late.

Yep, Just in time actually, all have been shipped. I'll contact you each individually with tracking within the next couple hours

Thanks CrazyGuy,got em today & followed the instructions from BTCGuild's tutorial & violia,mining away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just changed where I mine to & all is well  ;D

https://www.btcguild.com/index.php?page=support&section=blockerupter

Excellent, thanks for linking the tutorial!

I just got my USB erupters in the mail, thanks a lot!

Sooo,is there any news on the discounted BE's (.175 BTC or something to that effect)?? Can we who bought from you participate?? 

Thanks!!

From my understanding, you and n4ru are eligible for discounted units amounting to 30% of your order. This comes to one unit for you and 2 for n4ru. Since I ordered through Canary, I am waiting on word from him on the coupons. I'll let you 2 know what it's going to cost when I get word.

Was going to ask about this... thanks.

Isn't it a coupon for 0.1 per unit bought though? :/

From CanaryInTheMine:


I think you bought our batch from him,so I figure we should be included,correct  ???

If you need a little extra to sweeten the deal,let us know  ;)

Yes, whatever price Canary gives me, I'll pass on to you guys, plus a small amount for shipping. Also, it looks like it's actually 1:1 on the units you ordered from friedcat, he's just guaranteeing 30% upfront. I'll update you guys when I get word from Canary.

Thanks!!!!  ;) ;D

I'm waiting, I will be purchasing 9 units immediately.

Good news guys, you are all eligible for 100% of your order amount in Canary's first coupon batch. Once again, Canary will be shipping to me, then I will ship immediately to you. Cost is .15 BTC per unit from Canary. Add .025 per unit in United states for shipping from me to you.

Please send .175 * number of units you ordered to the following address:
1LxM7gFtzyG2cW5sJoTcV28mGunei269Ba

If you are not interested in ordering at the coupon price, or you were the international order, please contact me via PM

Sending 1.575 BTC to you now. If you need my address again PM me.

EDIT: Sent. Do you have an ETA time for it to get shipped from you to us? I'd like to know so I can order hubs accordingly.

Ok,.70 BTC sent for 4 BE's  ;D   Thanks CrazyGuy !!!!!

Oh,do you need us to sign our transaction again???

Just received the shipment, I'll have your coupon orders out monday morning.

 :o  Wow!!!

Thanks!!!

Are you doing another group buy?? If so,can you match Canary's price .31 BTC or lower ??

I know some folks who may be interested in a few BE's  ;)

There are only 3 resellers in us at this point designated by friedcat: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270573.0

Very good,Thanks Canary  ;D  I may be in touch  ;)
