Title: SAY NO TO "PRE-ORDERS"! 2asic.com starts shipping ASICMINER hardware world wide.
Post by: JordanL on August 28, 2013, 01:10:38 AM
The world’s most efficient Bitcoin mining hardware is now available world wide and hassle free.

2ASIC.com (https://2asic.com), a company founded by Bitcoin veterans including founding members of the Black Lilac Financial Corporation, has been created to provide quick and efficient sales and service of ASICMINER Block Erupter Bitcoin Mining hardware to miners in nearly every country on earth.

Visit 2ASIC.com (https://2asic.com) for product information, availability, and pricing.

We have a limited amount of hardware, products are only available while supplies last.

Please use this thread to to ask questions about us or the hardware, and of course to discuss how much faster and cheaper company X and Ys products will be when they ship "in two weeks".


UPDATE: Wow, the Price of Block Erupters has been dramatically reduced. Previous customers have been compensated to make up the difference. It is nice to be a distributor for an amazing company like ASICMINER.   8)

Can we also "say no" to overpriced stock in hand?

This is the second time I've seen a mention of this site outside the marketplace section.. it saddens me..

Is this a joke? $1900 CAD for a blade? They are 10.25 BTC new. Thats ~$1300 and its only that high because of the surge in price the last couple days.

I was excited when I realized your located in Vancouver, I figure shipping would be fairly reasonable to me from there..

I too was a little disappointed when I saw the price.. Teek's shop although a Canadian distributor only, is a fair bit cheaper currently quoting $1622CAD or 11.99BTC which based on Cavirtex last 24avg works out to an even cheaper $1362CAD. I don't see your prices listed in BTC, or any information about how it would calculate the price in BTC.. I didn't want to go all the way through the checkout to find out.

I hope you re-consider your price point, and maybe offer a discount if paying with BTC? I'd be a customer for sure if you can be a little more competitive with other options.

We don't presently provide discounts for paying in Bitcoins. Prices will be adjusted regularly based on the price of BTC vs the Canadian dollar.

Ummmm CAD $69.99 for a USB Block Erupter? I get these on Ebay for between US $40.00 to $45.00.

Like I said before...These are brand new at 10.25 BTC from ASICMiner. At current BTC market price that is roughly $1300. But you are asking $1900. That's a nearly 50% markup cost. Totally ridiculous price.

If you guys know of a cheaper place to get Bitcoin mining hardware (real, not theoretical), please let me know! Anyone can tell you they will send you a 200 TH/s miner in three months for $5 (of course they will ask you to pay today). Some people want real hardware that will actually mine Bitcoins at the advertised rate! That is what we can offer.

If I posted this in the wrong section, would a moderator please move it to the correct place? Thanks in advance.

Big thanks to everyone for your orders and comments.   :)

Some people want real hardware that will actually mine Bitcoins at the advertised rate!

However, the devices are useless, because they will never generate any ROI.

Example: the USB block erupter:
Price: 70CAD (~67USD, ~0.5BTC at current rate)
Speed: 0.34GH/s
Power: 5W

So, if I get it this instant and start mining, it will generate about 0.08BTC/month. If the difficulty froze at the current 66M, it would take the miner a bit more then 6 months to generate the 0.5BTC I paid for it. However, difficulty is increasing really quickly, so in reality it will take much much longer to generate the 0.5BTC and it probably never will because the point where the 5W to run it costs more than it generates.

OK, the USB block erupter is a toy essentially, so how about the blade?

Price: 1900CAD (~1800USD, ~15BTC @$120/BTC)
Speed: 13GH/s
Power: 120W

If I plug it in now, it will generate 3.02BTC/month. If the difficulty stayed constant at 66M and I had free electricity, it would take a bit less than 5 months to generate the 15BTC I paid for it. In reality it will take much longer and probably will never reach the 15BTC before it starts producing less than what I pay for the energy to run it.

So, both devices will result in a loss, if you hope that BTC price will increase then spend the CAD to buy BTC directly or just keep you BTC if you were planning to buy the devices using BTC.

This is the reason why people pre-order stuff. If the unit arrives on time, then you will hopefully get ROI. While there is no risk involved in buying ASICMiner devices, there also is no profit (potential or otherwise), just loss.

So the idea here is that a in hand dead-on-arrival product that will hardly break even is better than a preorder?
Not hating, just curious about the business model...

Stupidly overpriced.

Same same from all ASICMINER resellers. They should rename this to "SUCKER THREAD"

Those overpriced things will never see ROI.

Wow, how quickly things change in Bitcoinland!!

The price of Block Erupter Blades has been dramatically reduced, and are now available for only $899 CAD! Thanks to friedcat for greatly expanding the supply and lowering the price on this hardware.

All customers who have purchased block erupters through 2asic.com have been compensated for the difference.

Happy now???!!!!

You are still selling them for pretty much double the new price.  100% markup seems ridiculous since you're just reselling it.

If you look at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270573.0 you will see the USB are selling for .35 in large quantity amd .399 for 1.  That indicates your pricing on them is at least 20% higher then could be gotten there.  In both places they are listed as "IN stock", so if I were foolish enough to buy one, it'd be from them.

When I see them @ $500.00 USD or 524.54 CAD I would pick up 2. So long as it's soon :D Difficulty makes hardware devalue at an alarming rate.

Most others are sold out of blades, we have a very limited number left. Get them while you can... it may be a month or more before any new ASIC hardware becomes available.
