You offering any other payment method? (paypal and such)?
Let me think about this process, I haven't really gave it deep thought for BitCoinTalk forum. If I do I'd like to limit it to a few units per person, due to fraud/charge-back possibility overall (I've dealt this a few dozen times over the past 15 years doing online ecommerce via paypal/ebay), and have lost money more than a few times. How many you thinking? Was thinking only 1 or 2 depending on exchange. (I'd recommend Coinbase's value @ time of transaction) I understand the wearyness of other forms of payments, if it was me I'd limit it to 2 peices untill repeat business and make them pay as a paypal gift (don't know if they still offer this), that way there's no possibility of a charge back and no fees, then shipping to be paid as a seperate payment through paypal so you can get their confirmed address (non-gift payment). Most you'd be out is $2 if someone did a chargeback (shipping cost for first class from my experience with AM sticks). Downside is you'd get 2 payments from each paypal address and have to keep track of it. To scale it, I'd only let each person get 2 @ first, wait a week to see if any b.s. happens; then returning customers get bumped up to 4, again a week's wait, so on so forth. But never anymore than I could ship First Class (AM experience was 6 in a padded envelope (5x7 I believe) @ bellow $3). That way the only thing you loose is shipping if even that, use the shippig manager in paypal and it tracks everything for you making a chargeback almost impossible. The downside to this is that it does not provide any protection for buyers from the seller, and I beleive it's against their t.o.s. too but that never stopped us from doing it that way to non established traders with low/no feedback on the forums. On another note, why hasn't anyone mentioned the use of "heatware" as a reputation tracker? Back when I did a lot of forum trading/selling this was and still is the best tool. The forum one is o.k. but only a 10th of users use it. Example here's mine: heatware = TongIt can be used accross multinle boards, provides people a layer of protection as long as others are honest. I've seen people catch a troll before he gets too far just by using this. It's a way to rate the experience, as a whole, of the transaction with the person NOT THE PRODUCT. Tong

What difficulty pool does it mine too? Efficiency (in the software the blades have) is calculated by percentage of shares accepted. Basically: 29% efficiency = 100 difficulty 1 shares but only 29 where accepted by pool, proxy, ect. If you use a getwork proxy like BFGminer, you should see ~99% efficiency. Blades ONLY do getwork. Use a stratum proxy.  What he said. I had the same problem connecting to a stratum with the blade by default. didn't realize it for a few days, then setup a local stratum proxy and bam... 100+ efficiency.

i would buy 1000 of them for that price
dont be silly
if you have some erupters to unload i will buy them pm me a fair price (below last bulk selling price point of course)
Thanks for interest but they're selling hot on eBay. I have them listed for 119 after getting a few low offers... But the last one I sold for that price. Do yourself a favor and lock the thread before it gets out of hand, you sold them the way it was recommended and, not only mined with them, but made ROI on investment by reselling them after so good job.

The 49-port hubs I received today unfortunately didn't have fuses in them. Though the fuses are on the way in a separate shipment, I can't wait for a couple of days to be able to used them. Upon inspection, it looks like they take automotive blade-type fuses. Is it the Mini Blade fuse? What's the required fuse amp rating for these hubs? I wanna head down to the local auto parts store and get them ASAP.
40 amp Regular in car fuses. Philipma made an observation that the 40 amp fuse it comes with is way too much for the hub, if each miner uses .5 amp and there's 49 ports, max it should draw is 24.5 amps. I got a 30 amp in mine and definitely runs cooler than the 40 amp it came with. The 40 was wicked hot all the time. Going to try a 25 amp and see if that's the sweet spot. Don't want an accidental power spike taking out the hub or all them miners. Thanks for this info. It seems that 25A makes a lot of sense as you alluded. I may have to try it myself; if it doesn't keep blowing up, then it should be good. Can you verify if it's the "mini" size blade fuse? I wouldn't call them the mini's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_%28automotive%29They're the regular or "ATO" sized fuses. your standard in car fuse for most American made vehicles up until the late 90's.

Actually, sidehack usually uses high end products and cleans up the voltage variations also, probably even extends the life of the product even with the overclock.

Qouting another member from a different thread: 320-500W wtf... so this is nothing more than the 5ghs blades that were only available in china earlier this year? same chips, same inefficiency, just packaged up to look like a bfl little single....  must say im very disappointed in ASICMiner right now... If this is the case then sidehack's usual skills should be able to push one of these to a theoretical limit of 45ghs, with improved power handling also it should not go much more than the 500w. Question is with dual pcie for power only, how's it going to do that; as someone else stated, pcie only does 75w per lane. Either way a disappointment from them, I was expecting a new product, not the same thing as before in a shinny new box.

So now I'm confused... sounds like I need to wait to sell, then.
list a set of 5 on ebay for 99 usd. If btc goes up they will sell. I'd agree with philip. put them up at 5 lots or split them evenly into lot sizes that you have.

I want to sell my lot for a fair price, but what might that be nowadays? Obviously I won't get my investment back, but I see them for sale ranging anywhere from .06 to .15.
If you use eBay, they're going for $15ish used shipped, minus 14% for fees for eBay/PayPal = $12.50 . That would be my asking price a price, shipped. So I just looked on eBay, and I see 1 ad for $15 all others are more, around $20, and for $45! Are people still paying that amount? Thanks to those who PM'd. The price is rising due to the fact that production seized on these, and the last few are going nuts. Before Friday I would expect to see them at over 20 on average.

Sold out of USBs... No mas! Blades are in stock.
Two things: What do we do if we got a stick or two that need replaced? And can you please update your sig to a final number of Tera/petahash you've sold to the world? Seems like the difficulty isn't climbing as high now that the USB product is gone...

^^ I just wonder if this monster hide seven 5$hubs from e-bay inside with boosted +-wires pretending they are high-end device  Nope, I can verify its not a cheapo eBay, circuitry is built better and meant to handle more, I had mine apart to check it out, I also got like 20 of those cheapo 10 port eBay hubs (for sale btw) and had those apart to verify they could handle the amperage and can tell you these are better built. I can't take a pic of mine apart due to its mining but will post a pic of the internals of the eBay ones once I get a chance.

Canary, have you noticed any oddities on USPS shipping recently? Thought I'd ask here rather than PM. Of the last few USBs you shipped on the 4th and 5th, they are still all showing as "Delivered to sort facility" with no other updates since the 4th and 5th. Not that its been a very long amount of time, I found it anomalous for a few packages.
sometimes they don't get scanned in through the machines... just give it till tomorrow... I'll also inquire about them when I drop off today's packages in a bit. thanks! All packages were delivered today. It was very odd, but I thank you! they didn't scan between my post office and until they reached your neck of the woods... lazy USPS locations in between I guess... glad all is well! thanks! Happens more often than you think, I've had at least 3 dozen or so that scan here at my local post office, then nothing till delivered. I've also had them assign tracking numbers that were already used.

@ Nemo, I think the current cost per port is 0 if buying 50 units...
This is so untrue. Nothing is free. Instead of giving you a quantity discount for buying 50 they are applying the savings to the cost of Hub. This just makes it harder to see the actual cost. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!! These come with out power supplies, so you need to figure in the cost of a power supply when figuring the per port costs as well. "Free with purchase" is never Free. .10 btc for a dedicated 5v psu .09 for the custom made cable to connect it to the hub So your new hub costs you .0039 per port as long as you order 50 B.E. Grab the B.E.'s put them on eBay, earn a profit so the hub + psu + cable is free with $ left over for other things.... You're right it's not free with purchase, it MAKES you money to take it off their hands. Tong
