So is that address one controlled by you, or by Gridseed?

Do you need money sent now, or at some later date?

Is there a time limit on this group buy? What happens if you cannot get enough orders in time?

Can I pay with Bitcoins?

Escrow?

Does anybody have the firmware from the RPi on the original dragon miners (5 board version) available?  I really need a copy of the software since there seems to be something wrong with our SD card.

Okay.. correct me if I am wrong.

USB miners= dual miner from gridseed?

3000 of them for 1350 dollar, 1350/3000=0,45 each usb miner? Or am I making a mistake? Should be 45 dollar each? btw what does the /LA3M means after the price?

Does anyone see a trend here?

Some of the first bitcoin ASICs were 333MH (bfl doesn't count) and were sold at $100.  10 months later and they now are not even worth $1.
Then along came the 5GH block erupter blade and were sold for $500-$600.  8 months later and they are barely worth $20.

The prices for these scrypt asics are way too high.  At best these would ROI by the time Titans come out.  That is if we are lucky and things stay the same.  If we go by history profitability has been declining 100% every month since December.  If and only IF we are so lucky for things to stay the same, by the time that 6 months is up they will be useless and all that time/effort would have been for nothing.

To be honest I don't know if I'd even pay the $1200 I quoted earlier.  $1000 each and that's a maybe.

This is not to say your products are not good, they are indeed spectacular and 6 months ago I would have happily paid the full $3000 price tag for each unit.  Actually I probably would have paid 4-5k for each.

And when you think about it, it's basically a heatsink enclosure with 2 circuit boards.  I bet it doesn't even cost more than a few hundred bucks to produce.  There is no need to assrape the public with these outrageous prices.

I still think that is too expensive for the market right now. Try again and I would seriously consider it.

Assuming difficulty remains constant, which it won't, the blade will earn about $12/day at today's rates.
That's puts ROI out 5-6 months when better asics will be shipping.

Jack,

Is there a way to get replacement controllers? I updated to the first version of the V3 firmware and after that, it won't allow me to update the firmware again. I get "failed to unpack firmware" errors on both of my controllers. I don't want to miss out on the improvements in later versions.

AsiaBTC has been at a much higher price point than other sellers so that shouldn't surprise you. I'm curious what other resellers do, I wouldn't be surprised if no one is allowed to sell under a certain price for the first 1-2 months.

pretty good price, do you refund if you fail to ship in 2 weeks ?
