My friend already get the 5 USB miner for me for 0.5BTC from a Chinese reseller. It's kind of unfair if the US groupbuys do not have that offer.
Wow. If this is true, that it is only for Chinese resellers, which it appears to be since Friedcat is silent about it, ASICminer will be losing a lot of loyal customers. I think everyone needs to calm down a peg. Not only is it entirely possible that the Chinese resellers are NOT directly involved with ASICMINER but rather just selling their own privately manufactured USB Eruptors since the Avalon/Asicminer chips are now available and the USB Eruptors design is publicly available, but it is also possible or even likely that ASICMINER simpley haven't made the announcement as they are still busy shipping orders etc. I have dealt with Canaryinthemine several times and I can pretty much guarantee that is is definitely not keeping any information from anyone. People also need to remember that is the rumors are true this still does not mean that Canaryinthemine has any obligation to sell 0.1 USB miners. I am not so sure I would even want to package, ship and handle THOUSANDS of very small orders with little to no profit just because ASICMINER decides to change the cost of future products. Everyone, including myself purchased a product for a price. Not a future product or promise of one. Agreed, you should expect to pay the same markup he is currently charging for shipping and handling. .14/ unit for orders under 10 and lower handling fees for large orders would be fair in my opinion. Of course, this is assuming the rumors are true.

Hio Who do you recommend for the final board assembly ? I know Mr Teal is working on something, not sure if anyone outside of his group can send chips in to be mounted. I will be on the lookout for board assemblers and let everyone know what I find.

UPDATE 07/25/2013 - Batch 2 was purchased from BFL 7/25/2013, transaction ID below. http://blockchain.info/tx/d630d12342e068c87661d6135ed55235c00ace6e48c26033873d970cdf0f1a3eThis is my second BFL chip purchase, Batch 1 was purchased July 3rd here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=235578.0I have used my chip credits to facilitate a 112 chip group buy of BFL ASIC chips at a discounted price. You are not required to provide any chip credits for this price. Price includes shipping to continental US. Current price is $59/chipPlease go by last Campbx sale price, or bitcoinstore rate when completing purchase. Mtgox is no longer an accurate representation of bitcoin value. Current Batch and payment address:Batch #2 - 80 Chips left - 1Cio41HRnMK6bcRHtx9UWXVCTB9kNXzSwWhephaist0s - 24 chips djjacket - 8 chips
Payment:Users will be expected to pay 50% up front per bfl purchase requirements. Payment amount should be determined by buyer, using mtgox weighted average or ticker in thread. At the time of purchase, I will re-evaulute price based on BTC conversion rate and refund or request more money, dependent on where the conversion rate stands. The Second half will be required before shipment. To avoid shipping delays for all buyers, the second payment will be required within 12 hours of request. Inability to pay second half will result in forfeit of chips ordered. Please contact me before sending payment. Also, any payments made should be made from an address you own(not mtgox etc...) This will prevent any complication in returning payments. More Details- I will not be mounting the chips or providing a PCB. You will be receiving the bare ASIC chips. - Minimum order of 5 chips. - Price includes priority shipping to USA. Please contact for shipping rates outside of US. - Free international shipping if ordering 30+ chips. If you are interested in less than 5 chips, include an extra for shipping inside the US

Did a quick search on the forums but couldn't find if there is a design for using it. How do you plan to use these? Are these easy to use?
BFL released specs in the small board, there are a couple if users on the forums working on board designs.

Still no response from friedcat, I'm going to go through with a purchase from canary tonight at a discounted price. Because of this, I'm willing to take .03 BTC per unit off of each of your orders. Going through canary does mean you will have to wait for shipping from canary to me before I ship the units to all of you. If this is not acceptable, please let me know and I will refund your purchase.
With this news, I am closing the group buy at 53 units.
Sounds good to me CG How long for shipping then ?? Just a guesstamate will do So we get "cash" back?? You've been watching too many commercials on TV,haven't you Thanks!!!!!!!!! BTW,that trust thing on here don't show correctly does it?? How can we add "trust" ?? Haha, thanks, I'll get an estimate and let you guys know tonight. They will be shipped via express to me, so very soon after canary receives them. Canary purchased yesterday and says they'll be arriving within the next few days. He will be sending express to me and upon me receiving the units, I will send them immediately to all buyers still participating.
