8/28/13 Some USB Miners and all blades have arrived! All blade orders will be sent today and all USB miners in hand will be shipped today. Tracking numbers will be sent in the next 24 hours. USB miner orders will be caught up to August 18, 2013, 12:00:00 PM CST. Any orders for USB Miners placed after this are on there way to me. They will either ship this Friday or next week Wednesday. I will take care of you my customers and MAY add something extra to your orders due to the extreme delay in getting these last orders out(depending on the amount of time you have waited). Your orders have been placed and I await them to arrive from AsicMiner. My goal is to have all backorders caught up in the next week or less. Then, for the month of September, I aim to sell 10,000 USB Miners if at all possible and 100+blades. Thank you for your continued support!

8/26/13 Update I have been given the go ahead to offer the 0.10btc each promo/coupon USB Miners to the other 70% of orders placed in my group buy #7 or earlier at prices of 0.89+. Simply put, if you ordered in the past at 0.89+ BTC each or higher from me in group buys 7 or earlier, for each USB Miner bought at full price, you are eligible to purchase one at 0.10 BTC each plus shipping. If you already purchased some of the 30% promo miners, you will be allowed to purchase the other 70% now. You can place orders for these along with any regular price USB Miners now in group buy#9 here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270999.0 . If you bought from me at prices lower than 0.89 BTC each or from group buy#8 on, this promo does not apply to you. Please place all orders for promo USB miners and regular priced USB Miners in group buy#9 here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270999.0 . Any new orders will be shipped from me in about 7 days. This group buy is an ongoing group buy. All orders placed should ship in approximately 7 days.
  Any outstanding orders that have not received tracking numbers should ship in the order received with many USB Miners shipping out this Tuesday and Blade Miners shipping out Tuesday or Wednesday as well. If you placed orders in the last five days or so, I am waiting on shipment of more USB Miners from AsicMiner. AsicMiner is to reship the "lost" shipment of DHL USB Miners early this week which should get me back on schedule for timely delivery for all orders once received. Any PMs that have not received a reply yet should receive one in the next 24 hours. Thank you for your business and support!

8/23/13 Update #2 Any future orders are not affected by the delay for DHL in losing my USB Miners order. I have plenty on the way to fulfill all orders placed and will impatiently wait for my DHL shipment to arrive. USB and Blade orders appear to be coming by this Tuesday with more on the way mid week. All future orders are now being shipped FedEx (thank you friedcat) and will arrive sooner than in the past with DHL to me. I thank you for your continued support and words of encouragement. Sincerely, SilentSonicBoom

8/23/13 No USB Miners or Blades have arrived today. I have received new tracking numbers from friedcat shipped on 8/22/12 and new orders are being shipped to me by FedEx. I have an order from DHL that should have arrived on Monday that they somehow "lost" even though I received other orders the same day from them. This would have been around 500 USB miners, thus the delay in shipping. I don't usually post tracking numbers for security reasons but will post the lost tracking number so that you know I am being honest and upfront with you. Tracking number is 8677805975 at www.dhl-usa.com . As you can see,it left Omaha,NE on Thursday and should have arrived to me in two days on Monday. It was not delivered and I have requested a trace/investigation into where it is at. No USB Miners or Blades have arrived today as well. All orders are placed in a timely manner by me and I know it really is bad to not have these miners when they should have shipped by now. Thankfully I have ordered many in shipments to arrive by FedEx that are scheduled to arrive Tuesday at the latest. All orders for USB Miners that have not shipped this week will ship next Tuesday/Wednesday unless DHL magically delivers the lost shipment today or Monday. It is really frustrating for me as I strive for the best customer service I can provide. Hopefully with new shipments from FedEx, timeliness of delivery to me will be better and no more shipments to me will be "lost" by FedEx.
  On a brighter note, I have been given the go ahead to offer the 0.10btc each promo/coupon USB Miners to the other 70% of orders placed in my group buy #7 or earlier at prices of 0.89+. I will post details by Monday on how to order these from me. Simply put, if you ordered in the past at 0.89+ BTC each or higher from me in group buys 7 or earlier, for each USB Miner bought at full price, you are eligible to purchase one at 0.10 BTC each plus shipping. If you already purchased some of the 30% promo miners, you will be allowed to purchase the other 70% now. I will start a separate group buy for these orders with the chance to order full price miners to your order as well by Monday. Keep watching for details. If you bought from me at prices lower than 0.89 BTC each or from group buy#8 on, this promo does not apply to you. Get your BTC ready if you are eligible for the promo as details will be posted by Monday! Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Sincerely,
SilentSonicBoom

8/22/13 No miners or Blades received today. I have requested tracking numbers at least three times in the last three days with no reply. I am hopeful that several shipments arrive tomorrow. All of group buy #8 shipped and everything that I have received so far has shipped to group buy #9. I am currently waiting on more than 1000 USB miners to be delivered(some only ordered in the last few days). I am sorry about the delay but I have no control of when my orders are shipped or possible tracking numbers sent. I will get your orders out in the order received. I have placed orders for hundreds extra to try to have stock in hand for immediate delivery. The delays are killing me as well. I promise to do the best I can to get your orders shipped in a timely fashion. No shipments arriving at my door unfortunately means no shipping to you my valued customers. I apologize for the delay that is out of my control.

8/21/13 No USB Miners or Blades arrived today. 90%+ of orders shipped today. Other 10% or less were ordered in last week or less and should ship in next few days once USB Miners/blades arrive. I am getting some sleep tonight to prepare for more arrivals from China tomorrow. Some tracking numbers have been sent, others will be sent sometime tomorrow. Thank you for any new orders placed.

8/19/13 Some USB miners and blades arrived today. More will be here tomorrow and in the coming days. I will be busy the next 48 hours shipping out orders. PMs may not be answered right away. Any payments/new orders will be placed for shipping by August 27th from me. Thank you for the patience while I get your orders shipped.

8/17/13 Any new orders for usb miners will ship in 7 days or less. I hope to have excess inventory to sell by the end of this coming week. All blades received Friday have shipped. New blade orders will ship in 7 days or less. Thank you for your orders and continued support!

8/16/13 All USB Miner orders that were to ship Saturday August 17th will now ship Tuesday August 20th or Wednesday August 21st. My orders for USB Miners did not arrive today. A few blades did arrive today and will ship on Saturday August 17th. I will contact you if I received your blade or blades for shipment. If I don't contact you, your blades will arrive and ship next week. My shipments were to be shipped FedEx but did not happen this way. A reply from friedcat/AsicMiner is listed below. I am sincerely sorry for this delay and will do everything in my power to get these orders out ASAP. Please do not flood my PM box with angry replies as I have to have product in hand to ship. At this time, no product means no shipping. Please accept my apology.

  Power Consumption: 70-75W on 1.03-1.05V, 83W on 1.1V, 100W on 1.2V, 120W on 1.2V and overclocking
  Hasher size: 233mm x 116mm with a 227mm x 100mm x 19mm heat sink attached to its back
  Power module size: 192mm x 89mm
  Ethernet controller size: 86mm x 40mm  

ASIC-Powered Efficiency Each blade consists of 32 hashing chips. It has the baseline speed of 10GHash/s, the rated speed of 10.752GHash/s, and the maximum speed of 12.829GHash/s with overclocking and proper cooling. The power consumption is 83Watts per blade in room temperature on rated clock and voltage.

Modularity Each blades consists of a hasher, a power module, and an Ethernet controller. Each of them is easily replacable.

Independence The blades can be directly plugged to the internet and mine after configuration, with no host PCs needed.

Quick Installation The setup is almost self-explained. After assembly and powering up, access 192.168.1.254:8000 from your PC for configuration.

Safety Fusing and polarity protection are built in the power module.

Notes

Heat Dissipation Our blades work well un-crowded without fans on room temperature, but it is recommended to supply some airflow to the heatsink.

Over-Voltage For overclocking, you will need to adjust the trimmers on the power module to increase the voltage output.

Power Supply Please make sure you have an external source of 12V DC voltage output and at least 10A current output to power up one blade.

Internet You need the internet access via network cables if you want to plug the blades directly to the internet.

Notes
  1. Fans are not accompanied with blades anymore. They were more or less intended to serve as a help of quick setup and mining testing for users who haven't got proper cooling yet, but turns out to be quite misleading by making people think the fans are powerful enough to cool the (already)over-voltaged and (easily)over-clocked blades.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDERS! I HAVE DONE MULTIPLE AUCTIONS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS ONLINE. I WOULD BE HONORED TO GET AN ASICMINER USB MINER OR MINERS TO YOU AT A GREAT PRICE! PM ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDER!

Very cool! 

pricing estimates?

I am awaiting pricing from friedcat, orders will be placed immediately. Stay tuned in the next 14 hours or less for my prices. Get your btc ready!

blade pricing coming in next two hours!

New prices are now up on the blades! Thank you for your orders!

Is there a recommended power supply for these things?

That's the same GH/BTC as the USB erupters currently.  What are the advantages of blades vs. erupters?

if 1 blade = 32 BE then,

You have 3 less hubs (50$ a pop) to buy
Slightly significant power consumption 32 * 500mA vs 10A
easier to manage? more flexible (overclocking possible)

I wish the volume discount would be greater. How many people buy 30+ BEs. When they do, they have a small discount. That does not seem be present yet with the blades.

I guess it all depends on firedcat and it might eventually become more advantageous to go with blades than with BEs.

wish I didn't go balls deep with terrahash, might have had some cash to get a few of these!~

But im wondering what the new blade prices are going to be....

New blades are very similar to these. Will either be fixed at the low or high hashrate of these old blades. Will be around the same price.

Are these the new gen blades which are set at 10 GH/s or are these the old set which can be OC'ed to run at 13 GH/s

old

I haven't researched yet, but are these pretty easy to operate? What other hardware do you need, are these as easy as USBs?

you have to buy at least 3 fans per erupter, they dont have to be powerfull, quiet noctua 120 are best
you connect network cable from router and power from average PSU (u can use one from rig with stratum)
you need also one cheap rig with proxy software (could be netbook or old celeron) connected to the network

so

blade -> router <- netbook/crap rig

Thank you for the help. In my opinion, USB Miners are much more user friendly to use.

Do we know what the differences will be between the current and "new" blade models?  Also, will pricing remain the same?

What I have been told by friedcat is that they will be similar. The main difference will be they will either be locked at the low voltage lower hashing rate or at the higher voltage rate/hashing rate. Which rate they are to be locked at was undecided two days ago in PM from friedcat.

what is the difference between the old blade and the new one?

Shipping is now per 5 blades ordered!

hi sonic is it possible for shipping via Fedex international? usps its terrible for customs in uk.

2.00 btc per 5 blades USPS Global Express Guaranteed - 1 to 3 average business day delivery to over 190 countries

This GXG option is mailed at USPS but fulfilled by FedEx .Don't know if that helps. I currently am not ready to offer the FedEx option. Thanks for the question.

So one shipped to Canada would be BTC10.24 + BTC.70 for shipping?

Hello! If you shipped to Russian would be BTC10.24 + BTC.85 for shipping(0.85 btc per 5 blades USPS Priority Mail International Shipping)?

Anyone need help setting these up just pm :)

What is the weight on one blade?

I read your awesome comprehensive guide. Great work!

any word on rack availability?

Yes it is. Thank you for any order that you may place.

Yes.

Thank you for the help and your excellent online guide in the forums. It is of great use! Thank you!

I don't know the exact weight or size as I have not received them. I also have not received this information. Thanks for the question.

Not available to my knowledge. This is not certain though. I will try to get an answer on this.

Update: Multiple orders have been placed. The vast majority of orders ship August 17th assuming I get them by Friday the 16th. Any orders in the last two days should ship by Wednesday next week at the latest(possibly sooner). Thanks for the orders and your support!
