Blades are available for sale on my threads at 3.1 btc now for those interested.
they work flawlessly through bfgminer running as a proxy.  Thanks Luke for making it easy!!

packed and shipping.  Thanks!!

Post a pic!!

I'm hoping my blade inventory doesn't last through Sunday night..

Weekend promo: Blades are at 3.1 btc. Have a good amount on hand, would like to move them into your hands

backplane is free with a purchase of 10 blades.  you do not "need" a backplane to run a blade.

there was no price change by the manufacturer.

it's what Klondike project never became due to Avalon issues.  can you imagine the difficulty right now if Avalon delivered all the chips and all those projects succeeded?

no, they are not ASICMiner.  they are based on bitfury chips.

I was contacted to be a "reseller" by an assembler.  However, this is a misnomer with these devices... Whereas ASICMiner actually manufactures their devices and has a network of resellers, bitfury DOES NOT.

There are assemblers who have contacted a few people and even setup "authorized" resellers.  but this is a little bit misleading.  these assemblers simply assemble the purchased bitfury chips.

They have no risk in this at all.

they pass on all the risk to the person collecting a group buy and ultimately the buyer.  Anyone wishing to get the USB sticks based on bitfury chips should really go out and purchase chips and have them assembled in US for example instead.  

This may sound strange to you but the granular issue here is that price setting is not done by a true manufacturer but an assembler who has 0 risk in this.  ASICMiner for ex. manufactures a bunch ahead of time and then adjusts the prices as necessary to drive and keep demand. and they are in stock now, you are not prepaying ahead of time to have them made.  by the time folks receive bfury based sticks, they will cost you more than currently in stock products from others.  Ofcourse, I think everyone should get at least 1 just to have a device for historical purposes.  it is a neat development and I support in principle any positive btc development.

therefore, I declined to "resell" them since there's no true manufacturer behind these devices and I see alot of unhappy people down the road and don't wish to hurt my reputation.  it's not worth it.

plus, ASICMner will have it's own next gen chip and devices at a later time too.  at that time, I'll probably get busier than ever, so for now I can rest and prepare.  

  that number is outdated actually... I need to update it, but it's a low priority atm.

Next batch/thread is finally up: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303640.0

ghs?  you mean bfury chip based?

Received a few PMs about USB hubs, here's a good thread on it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.0
how to send a shipping label:
you will essentially download that pdf label from usps and email it to canary.btc@gmail.com (email used for labels only, contact with questions via PM here)
thank you BorisAlt for putting together a quick how-to guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=271054.msg2928336#msg2928336 (shipping from zip 60181)
in the body of the email, you will have 4 things:
1. transaction id of your order
2. 1st payment address of the transaction
3. tracking number (no spaces)
4. Signature (your will sign ONLY the tracking # from item #3)
additionally, if you use this method, you no longer need to PM me shipping address as a signed message.  trying to make things simpler for all.
I will check that the tracking number in item 3 matches the label exactly.
--------------------------
here's an example of a signed message you email me with an attached label (each lines corresponds to #1,2,3,4 from above paragraph):

guidelines for your own labels:

small priority box fits 14 USB miners
medium priority box fits 100 USB miners
large priority box fits 140 USB miners
20 USB miners fit into a flat-rate padded envelope (Priority or Express)
Region A Priority box fits up to 72 USB miners (not a single over 72!) weight: 10 miners weigh (10*35+20 grams) /~456 to get pounds. so 10 USB miners are: 370/456= .811 pounds or*16 = 13 oz

New Blade Shipping boxes:
- up to 4 blades fit into a medium priority box.
- up to 4 blades fit into express flat rate box.
- 1 blade fits into either priority or express padded envelope.
- up to 3 blades WILL fit into Region A box (each blade is 2 pounds)
- large priority box: up to 6 blades.
Backplane: fits into Regional Box B (only!!) does not fit into other USPS provided boxes.
--------------------------
If you are a re-seller on eBay or other outlets, I can handle your shipping of USB miners.
- you sell
- send me the appropriate label (pdf) you generate for your sold order.
- I ship from zip 60181
- sit back and relax... don't bother shipping. I do that with my elves for you.

Thanks,

Canary

If you are new to this (aka noob), please read this so that you understand what to do.  This is the single most problematic step in the ordering process.  Here's how to sign a message with a blockchain.info wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=180068.0 Please verify the signed message yourself before you send it to me

See post #2 below for an example.

Common Questions:
When will I receive my order? Answer: I ship out the same day I receive inventory from ASICMiner/friedcat.  I do reserve up to 1 day to get it done in case DHL delivers later in the day.

Can you confirm my order? Answer:  you can confirm your own order by looking up the transaction id of your payment.  if it has confirmations that is your confirmation that your funds were received.  This is what I would do to "confirm" your order.  bitcoin is designed in a way to allow you to confirm and see what you've done.

Folks and miners,

As announced in the Official ASICMINER Hardware Information thread, I am a reseller in the USA of ASICMiner products.  International buyers, please contact your respective re-sellers.

Please Note:
Only send payments from an address you control (i.e. you can sign with it). If you send from MtGox or other exchanges, you risk loosing your funds since you can't prove you sent them. Please send from a wallet you can sign a message with.  You will send your shipping address via this method.

Policy update:
Refunds: Your orders are binding after your funds have been used to pay for an order.  Before that (while coins are piling up for the next batch), you can ask for a refund and will get it paid back in full. Understand that after you get refunded, I will not accept future orders from you.

post 1 & 2 have shipping label instructions/info

taking orders, .11 btc per USB stick.  emailed label, as usual.  will create a separate page sometime tomorrow.

If you don't want to wait till then, payment addy: 1L3XSZpfsZtEXLwDDYjJfJHncaPxAngAyV same instructions for labels as usual.

3.5 btc per blade, have plenty in stock.

if friedcat changes prices, I'll reflect them, but I've not heard about any new changes from him in the past few days...

You have to be a total idiot to send btc or a wire transfer to ANYONE who promises to deliver something sometime to you. (Instead of in stock product)

At least, send PayPal or credit card but dispute if nothing is received within the 45 days.
There are business people here who don't fall in love with an idea and execute and there are suckers here.

Where do you land?

PS I disputed right before 45 days and got 100% back.  Thesweede75 can confirm.

chirp... chirp...
awaiting info from friedcat to see what pricing I can use for next batches. hopefully will chat with him in a few hrs.

Will be back after 24th, currently traveling.
Blades are 3.5 or less at that time. Sticks within 15-20% of .10 or less.

sorry man!!  good luck with sales! 

Welcome to sales if fc does make you a re-seller.  I'm actually underwhelmed since demand is dried up and I don't take more than a day to handle an order, most orders go out the same day.  I can easily handle 2-3K USB orders per day and can scale up easily if necessary.
