Title: **SOLD** [WTS] Qty 100 BFL Chips ACCT XFER - 30 BTC for lot
Post by: kosmokramer on September 23, 2013, 11:42:27 PM
I have 100 BFL chips (default mixed grades) that I've been told will ship this week. Expected hashrate of the lot is estimated to be ~382.5 GH/s.

I noticed I now have the ability to transfer the chips from my account to the buyer, so expect a prompt transfer immediately upon payment in full.

Also cross-posting to BitMit (https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/62224-qty-100-butterfly-labs-asic-chips-bfl-expected-to-ship-asap).

Please PM ASAP with interest.

Offering 1 BTC bounty for anyone who arranges a completed sale of the whole lot. (proven by buyer stating 'this user informed me of your offer' and then following through with completed purchase). Bounty to be paid upon successful delivery of chips (or account transfer), likely within a week or two. If you know of a mining friend looking for chips, get to it!

You got me at "mixed Quality" i do get the bad feeling that instead 400 Gh/s you merely get 280 Gh/s with these Chips

This morning, I called Paul at BFL. He confirmed they would be shipping my order this week. Granted, I have no control over that, but I'm relaying the info I've received (plus, he's always been honest with me with previous orders). Based on other orders that were placed around the same time, I'm fairly confident my order will indeed ship out this week and will arrive in my hands next week ready to re-ship to a buyer.

Are you suggesting that instead of purchasing these from me, someone should place a new order with BFL and apply a chip credit? Go for it. Not sure where you would fall in the shipping queue, so I'm not sure you're comparing apples-to-apples if you're evaluating that offer next to mine.  An order placed now that ships in a month and a half certainly isn't on par with what I'm offering, given recent difficulty increases.

I don't know why this would give you a bad feeling. It's common knowledge that all BFL chip orders are delivered in mixed quality. I'm not sure where you're getting 280 GH/s from, but based on my calculations, a 100 chip order with the grade distribution cited below will yield a hashrate of approximately 382.5 GH/s. Directly from BFL website (https://products.butterflylabs.com/65nm-asic-bitcoin-mining-chip.html):

Chip grades:  Chips come in four grades of performance.  Chips are sold in mixed grade lots.  A grade has 16 engines, B grade has 15 engines, C grade has 14 engines and D grade has no less than 12 engines.  All chips run at a minimum of 250 mhz.  Higher grade chips will run up to 294mhz.  The percentage distribution in each lot is 60% Grade A, 20% Grade B, 15% Grade C and 5% Grade D.

Wow this is a great offer!  I've done business with Kosmo several times and have had an incredible experience.  He really takes care of his customers.  I'm sure the order is legit on his end but I'm too heavily invested at the moment to snatch these chips up! :/

Obviously not wanting to steal potential customers, but if anyone is looking at this and is wanting more chips than kosmokramer is offering, then I have a further 248 also due for delivery that I would consider selling.

Please fulfil his first order first and only contact me if you are looking for more chips than he has for sale, otherwise my posting this here would be unacceptably rude.

I will match his prices but will not undercut him, because again this would be unacceptable due to posting this here.

@kosmokramer - if you'd prefer this post removed then please just let me know via PM and I will delete.

Glad you managed to work something out, not at all surprised it was a smooth transaction, kosmokramer seems like a good guy! Enjoy the miners! :)
