you bought @67?? damn!!! did you use any tools to analyze the charts?
I've been thinking that I need to start hedging so that I can keep prices more predictable for USB sales regardless of USD/btc rate... to keep costs predictable for shipping, packing handling etc... any good platforms out there yet to trade in bitcoin/usd rate contracts?

nope, all black.  I think the Gold ones are elusive... I had gotten some a while back and all shipped out.

Some of you might be interested in this news from Coinbase:


Good news! All level 2 accounts can now purchase bitcoin instantly on Coinbase!

With this change comes one additional requirement: all level 2 accounts will now need to complete an identity verification step.

To restore your level 2 status please complete your identity verification from the verifications page.

Kind regards,

Please take a moment to read this ENTIRE post.  Absolutely New Pricing, make sure you understand it.

I am 4 miles from a MAJOR DHL hub that receives these orders from China.  My delivery times are the best.  It takes me 11 minutes to drive to DHL when necessary.   My location is in a major metropolitan area next to a LARGE international airport that is a hub for shipping for all delivery companies.  This gives me access to DHL, FedEx (also just 4 miles away, open till 9 PM for next day shipping).  I have access to several Post Offices around me.  I can ship USPS till 7 PM.
Simply put, I am in the best position geographically and logistically to receive an order and to get it out to you ASAP.  Period.

Pricing:
Pricing is now based on $85 USD/ 1 btc exchange rate. (mtgox as of now)

The cost of shipping is 0.09 bitcoins for orders of 10 or less.  USPS Priority Flat Rate shipping is free for orders of 11+
You can upgrade to USPS Express or FedEx.  you need to contact me for a quote based on the # of miners you wish to have shipped (weight dependent).

Domestic Insurance:
Now optional.  Be aware, if you choose not to pay for insurance, you absolve me of any liability or claims for lost, damaged etc... packages.  In other words, buy the insurance.  I just got a kick ass rate and am very happy to extend it to you all!!
 
Insurance cost is $2.40 for up to 10 miners ($1000 of declared value).  This is 0.028 btc and the minimum if you are adding insurance.
cost of insuring each additional miner beyond 10 is $0.24 or 0.00282353 btc.
so for 11 miners for example (N=11), cost would be (N*0.00282353)= (11*0.00282353) where N is the number of units ordered.  If N is less than or equal to 10, then the insurance cost is fixed at 0.028 btc

Handling and processing is a flat rate of .10 btc per order.  (this pays for a hired person, yes, this has created a small job (for now)   )

so for example, if you order 10 miners with insurance, the cost is:
.95*10+.09(shipping)+.028(insurance)+.10(handling)= 9.718 or 0.9718 per miner.
if you order 10 without insurance, the cost is: .95*10+.09+.10= 9.69 or 0.969 per miner.

if you order 11 with insurance: .95*11 +0.0(free shipping) + 11*0.00282353(insurance) + .10 (handling) = 0.96191444 per miner.
if you order 11 without insurance: .95*11 +0.0(free shipping) + 11*0.0(insurance, i'm not responsible) + .10 (handling) = 0.95909091 per miner.

Note, local pickup is no longer available for orders less than 50 units.

Ordering:

There is one common payment address: 1PCoLuL2mty7vXqkCVubr9oRvePzUeKJPn

To buy:

pick the number of ASICMiner Block Erupter USBs to order: N.
send the appropriate amount C based on Pricing paragraph above.

post your order in the following format: forum_nick; N; C; sending_address; Y/N (insurance flag)
ensure the sending address is under your control, so you can sign with it in case of disputes

Shipment:
The USB miners will be shipped to you within 1 day of me receiving them.  Shipped in cardboard box, not padded envelopes...

Communication:
I live in Chicago (CST time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours) and have a day-job that allows me ample time to devote to this endeavor. I do sleep at night, so if I don't answer at night, please be patient.  I'm pretty open and transperant with info.  I post it as soon as I have it, I do not withhold from anyone.  Please respect everyone's time.

Cheers,

Canary
