Wow.Good news!thx.

how to buy

Reserved.

These prices seem pretty good. Too good to be true....

Freidcat, I am suspicious, is this "Operation Offload" before my hardware becomes completely obsolete?

What about Gen 2? Any news on that?

Edit: Super suspicious timing.... Right after Bitfury begins shipping their miners.

Nice to see an ACTUAL PRODUCT for a change!

Wow!!!!!Amazing!!

Price is really amazing compared to 2 months ago.......

Contact resellers if less than 20... email as described above for larger orders. 

If anyone is ordering some of these but do not want all 20, I would be happy to take 1 or 2 off of your hands :) PM me please.

nice cat!

Waiting for group buy ...

I'll set up a group buy/hosting now.

Very nice price drop.

Seriously wtf?? Get a life/job/friend.

This is actually a very good deal from ASICMiner, I am impressed.  Even at today's difficulty and insane growth these look to be at positive RoI in just 52 days.  Even if you use 150% monthly difficulty increases (65-164-411-etc) it hits RoI in under 70 days, and at 200% it's still in 90 days.  This is actually a product I'd buy if I had the money to get 20.

Competition is a great motivator.

How much for new clients? Or is this only for past auction winners?

NM Seen the price  :)

I'm not sure. Maybe the problem is US$868.97
4BTC is not worth that much, but that's what you're asking for the blade, but that is no reason to report the post.

Just ignore him and enjoy these products  :)

Nevermind. I was planning to host a huge quantity of these again but forgot just how 'old' this hardware is now. Overclocked its nearly 10W per GH, compared to even avalons which are 10W/GH but much higher density, easier powering and cooling. Very hard to direct the heat from blades.

Then we look at the new Bitfury generation, less than 1W per GH...

Nah - he keeps spamming his fucking site in multiple threads whenever he can.. I'm not reporting this thread.. just his fucking spam posts..

yes power is a factor.

Don't know for the other threads, but as a reseller he's perfectly right to post in this one.

And having them delivered the next day is another  :)

how much for shipping (20+ units) ?

resellers still appear to have the old non-roi price. lame.

Can I also remind friedcat about his outstanding promise the community, which is still unfulfilled at the cost of 100s of btcs:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=282910

Friedcat just fucked his re-sellers. I don't actually mind. Good job FriedCat.

Dogie, not going to budge on your hosting/group buying idea for these things?  I would imagine you would get a lot of support of people taking you up on that offer and I am sure that you could set your own hosting price at a pretty high percent...

This is at least the 2nd time from what I've read.  At least the guy who bought USB in bulk at .31 could at least break even or get a miniscule profit though.

oh, i meant for those interested in less than 20. Certainly its a good thing that prices come down but it seems only way smaller miners will see that price is if we've bought direct before or via a group buy (which will eat into valuable mining time).

Financially it doesn't work because the resellers are clearing their stock at 5BTC, and once clear will get the new stock and probably retail at 3.5 again. The distribution network makes it pointless for anyone else to attempt to challenge this.

Good news！

Linking to my company's site in the three relevant threads... the tyranny!!!

I am doing something wrong here it seems. I don't see any ROI for 10Gh at 4 BTC:

http://www.btcinvest.net/bitcoin-mining-profit-calculator.php?diff=65750060.149085&dcosts=15000&diff_mincrease=40&blpbtc=25&dhsmhs=392000&diff_mincreasedecrease=5&btcusd=100&dpowcon=0&btcusd_mincrease=5&pcost=0.345&calcweeks=52&dleadtime=2&action=calc# (http://www.btcinvest.net/bitcoin-mining-profit-calculator.php?diff=65750060.149085&dcosts=15000&diff_mincrease=40&blpbtc=25&dhsmhs=392000&diff_mincreasedecrease=5&btcusd=100&dpowcon=0&btcusd_mincrease=5&pcost=0.345&calcweeks=52&dleadtime=2&action=calc#)

With 10Gh/s, 100w, 4 BTC, and as low as +30% per difficulty step (minus 5% each time!).
Even with these, as I believe too conservative (=too positive) numbers, I accumulated 3.4 BTC in 2015.

*shrugs*

Operation:Offloading

Gen2 incoming.

Operation "stock liquidation".

Pretty overpriced for being a soon-to-be obsolete technology.

This is great! :)

How much are your resellers going to be selling them for?

I'm definitely going to pick up a few soon.

Operation Offloading: Confirmed.

I'm eager to see the free market price these things,

How about a no-reserve auction for ~500 blades ?

It seems like your prices are still based on the first auctions, where people would buy into it mostly for the novelty aspect of it.

By "returning customers" does he include anyone who was in a previous USB or Blade group buy through a reseller (doubtful) or does he mean only those that bought directly from him?

It may seem like a good deal, however you're unlikely to get one in the next few days.

So, change delivery date to September and you will see these will never ROI as well. http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/b686d6f969

Same ole' overpriced ASICMINER... don't be the bag holder of this ancient technology please.

Don't say no one warned you when you don't make your BTC back.

+1 to dogie.
This is a sad day for the people who supported ASICMINER initially. I was part of the B3 auction who paid 50BTC / blade.
They never ROI'ed.

Even with the new price of 3.5Btc per blade for returning customers, these blades don't seem to ROI.
http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/d0775c4b7b

@Friedcat : When you replied to my PM earlier this week, i was expecting something better. You have let us down this time.
So much for taking our chances and vetting on ASICMINER

Man hope I can get a couple from the Canadian reseller at 3.5 BTC since I paid $11,500 for 2 of them at the beginning of June! (facepalm)

Drop the price to normal levels and I'll take one. Otherwise fuck off.

Forget these, they'll make MAXIMUM BTC4 in their lifetime before they become *obsolete*

So you're hoping to make MAXIMUM 50 bucks with each (at current 2.5% difficulty increase per day, which is the most realistic average)

I'll offer BTC100 for 100 Blades not a *fart* more.

A Bon Entendeur

selling for 3.5 btc, probably cost <$100 to make one, so freidcat's true profit margin on those are finally clear and more importantly you guys should now realize where the bottom is. Once those cards are worth only 1btc (assuming 1 btc is still ~$130), that's when the difficulty will stop going up 35% every 2016 blocks.

end is near.

Is this the new weapon for all suckers blockchain protectors ?
Or some  kind of souvenirs?

/sarcasm over 9000

This is what I like to see, at 3.5 btc I may just pick one up to add to my collections.





you sure to post that a lot O_o
Just add the link to your signature, no need to spam the exact same message all over the place. ;)

Ensure you are reporting this assclown's spam to the mods - "Report to Moderators" bottom right of message..

Sorry for the confusion brought.

The lowered price for returning customers is just an option as a favor. Of course we won't treat initial purchasers like this. The compensation/reward we talked about before would be different and more attractive.

Fantastic. Thanks for the clarification Friedcat.
+1. Will look forward to hearing from you with regards to the Compensation / Reward

friedcat

will you offer some sort of coupon scheme for those people who brought blades at over 10 btc.

thanks

Any information of your new generation of miners ?

Could you lower prices even more to the break even for folks here. 2.9BTC for > 20 would be a nice price.

You could roi in 3 months.. and you want it to be  even quicker? O.o

Which calculator are you using?

Did anyone receive a reply via email from him yet?

Well in genesis block its 3 months at that price. I used the one put earlier and i wont get back btc. http://www.btcinvest.net/bitcoin-mining-profit-calculator.php?diff=65750060.149085&dcosts=8400&diff_mincrease=40&blpbtc=25&dhsmhs=240000&diff_mincreasedecrease=5&btcusd=100&dpowcon=0&btcusd_mincrease=5&pcost=0.345&calcweeks=52&dleadtime=2&action=calc#

Given how fast and far prices of ASICM hardware have fallen in the past month, the obvious move is to simply wait and not buy anything until things stabilize.

I don't want to be the one to try to catch a falling knife!

Difficulty rose abruptly too. Make your calculations, but the diff climbing won't stop any time soon, either.

we're still missing that huge batch of avalons not to mention KnC... hard to tell.

3.5 BTC price makes me drool. Wishing I was in a previous auction. I could pick up 1-3. :(

Could someone point to some reseller in EU ???

You wish you had paid +50BTC for 10GH/s?

Wow.

Guys you can hardly buy any asics now that are guaranteed to ROI. the 85% of BFL orders that havent been shipped are now officially screwed. people who paid $275 for 5gh jalapeno still in queue can now buy a 10GHs blade for $420 - essentially $210 per 5gh jalapeno. And the blade doesnt require a computer to hash with, ships in a couple days, not a couple months.

At least people getting into these are buying it at today's price at today's diff. They're not saying they'll sell it super cheap and deliver it whenever.

Even some of these guys promising December and Jan delivery for ridiculous hash rates for $10-20k you really don't know if THEY will ROI or even if they'll deliver it in Dec or Jan, or if it will be June or July until you really get it. Avalon as proved that even reliable, proven vendors can choke.

At least these have a small chance in ROI if these 28mm chips are stalled a couple months, or if BTC price keeps rising. And hardware is never worth zero resale. Look at BFL FPGA's still selling for $200-300 on ebay (which is quite silly considering you can get a couple USB erupters for less)

I thought it applied to the 10 BTC orders too.

The blades in stock are all sold out.

Sorry for the purchasers who missed the queue. If you are still interested,
please ask for resellers on later available products.

New blades (65nm) are coming after the reseller old stock is gone ?

who said that the new blades are 65 nm?

anyway, congrats to all who bought in time!

If any resellers out there are looking to unload 1-3 BEB for a good price, PM me please.

What about shipping? only DHL? or you can use UPS?

fuck I went offline for few hours and I missed all of this !!! where can I buy 4 of these ?

what price will they sell for, of course they will add 2 BTC to the original price !!!!

anyone a bit confused about asicminers pricing strategy lately? all stock seems to be flying out the door faster than it can be made, because the prices are just too low for the demand (no ROI?...waaaaaaaaaa, people still buy them..)

LOL 899, good try there, why don't you put it in another hole instead of my hole !!!?

there is no confusion about asicminer's pricing strategy, freidcat is a very smart guy.  It's just a race against time, whoever has the hardware and can dump the fastest wins.  Freidcat made a business decision to make less money and clear inventory to ensure he doesnt have a warehouse of paper weights down the road. Basically asicminer is the first out the door as the rush for exit starts.

the only part i am confused about is asicminer announcing all those sales to resellers than literally a week later oversteps them after resellers made the purchases. Unless the reseller price was very good (<3.5 btc) this is kind of a douche move.

down the road? these sold out in HOURS, not days / weeks. You think a 10% or 20% price increase would've made much difference to that time frame? I'd say not at all.

Do we know how many of them friedcat managed to sell?

Has to be more than 1k if he offered it.

yes it would.

wow. you've swayed me with your keenly observed and backed up opinion.  ::)

Anyone looking to resell at 3.5 in the US?

...and sold out.

+1 OP  :D

and therye.... GONE !!!

..lolz

yeah cool  :'(

..another gem:


Now we just need to figure out what "Yifu" means, huh?

Ente

Awww shucks I'm late.

I'm an old customer too, maybe I cannot get them at the special price anymore :S

I am pretty sure that everyone everywhere realizes that ROI is a unicorn and has been a unicorn for months. No asic anywhere from anyone including unicorns that are only promised to be born will ever make a positive ROI in nominal btc terms. Those days are long gone.

I am not sure why every five minutes someone feels the need to be noticed for pointing out that device "X" will never achieve positive ROI. Duh, and the sky is blue. It is certainly not an argument that matters for the tens of thousands buying asics all over the world. Unless you assume that anyone who buys an asic is an idiot, in which case, congratulations on being so much smarter than everyone else. I hope being that smart translates into btc for you.

We all agree that asics can achieve a positive ROI in fiat terms assuming that the value of btc increases over time, and that in most cases you are better off just buying and holding btc. Most miners however are quite happy with the fiat ROI and are not as concerned with the btc ROI. They have chosen not to buy and hold. I respect that decision.

Fiat ROI is not only possible, it is likely. These people are not idiots, they just choose a different path for their own reasons.

Can someone point me to a U.S reseller of blades? Yes, know they are out of stock, and it's too late to order to get ROI.

But still, who is the US reseller please?

Thanks

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283458.0

Thank you sir :)

SilentSonicBoom is also a US reseller.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283077.0

No, they're flat-out idiots.

Seems like the limited supply was really limited  :P
