Why do you people support a company that increases their own network many times over with your own money?
Units are in the field. Only buy second-hand if you must. Don't contribute to this madness.
We wouldn't settle for BFL or Avalon mining with their own equipment. Why do these Chinese ventures get a free pass from that scrutiny?
ASICMINER is and always has been primarily a mining company, selling hardware is secondary. thus, anyone who cared to look knew well in advance that, IF they sold hardware (it was an if at the start) they'd have their own mining farm too. |

Nice. Does it improve your hashes?  considering how much those two little boxes must be earning, i think your security might need beefing up...  |

hurry up and sell people's before you can't sell that these low prices. quiet you! |

at this rate, i'll never get more then my currently holdings... of 1 share...

stop reading the thread for a few weeks (june 7th till now...) and there's 300 pages of posts... bloody hell guys.
to catch up: what's the word on WHY the price is dipping below 100 lately? anything major happen?
The bubble has popped in April and now it's deflating. that's what i figured... |

John K. forked over the money to Friedcat. I would say that he just got a pretty nice little pay-day. What think ye, John K.?
Anyone could have seen this price drop coming as soon as the BKK drawings were released given the very high price. I specifically suggested that Friedcat drop his prices before the first delivery do avoid the complexity (to lazy to dig up the post right now.)
If this at least some of this windfall makes it's way back to the wallets from which the BTC originated I'll be shocked even given Arklan's and John K.'s historic level of fairness and attention.
considering i have no intention of running another group buy (real world obligations...) unfortunately, there will be no windfall from this group buy. Actually I was mis-reading this. I thought Friedcat was simply refunding the overpay for historic orders. Silly me (though not silly enough to pay 4 to 8 times what they are possibly worth do run a (very cool) USB-based mining farm.) I've yet to plug my single device into a USB port. Not worth the hassle to me. It does seem logically like John K. is authorized to leverage the price break on behalf of future group-buy efforts, and it would be right for him to do so. Unless there were a three-way deal between Friedcat, John K., and Arklan, Friedcat got the funds from John K. If that is true and/or John K. decides to leverage this, he has my blessing. Some percentage of a kick-back on the basis of my wallet funding the savings would not be rejected but nor is it expected (on my part.) i'd have no problem with john doing so... god knows he's over the 1000 minimum... |

OP Updated
If you reach the total volume of 1,000 USB sticks, price is dropped to 0.89 each. We will also pay back the price difference of all your historic transaction (timeline started from the 0.99 pricing) of USB sticks. For example, if you bought more than 1,000 sticks, 500 for 1.99 and 500 for 0.99, the new price will be 0.89, and we will pay you the price difference for the 0.99 USB sticks, that is (0.99-0.89)*500=50BTC.[/b]
Sorry for the original ambiguation before that misled some customers that the price difference we pay back is 1.0BTC. What we expected to say is for the price difference based on both new prices.
If you didn't know friedcat has a deal for all those early adopters of the USB Block Erupter. I guess it is only available to arklan if he organises another group buy.

Rating added Can someone explain what this means? Thanks. look at the lower left of your, any any, post. there was an addition to the forum a short while ago allowing for "trust" ratings. |

arklan, torusJKL still does not show as shipped.
What is the story there, please?
was waiting on him for an address. it's shipped now, but i haven't updated the spreadsheet to reflect that. i'll do so now. |

Awesome work Arklan!
thanks. |

That looks like an ancient power supply in the front.
I might change it to an ATX psu later, depends if I can find one in my stash that is more efficient. It was originally from a 3Com 24 port 10mbps network hub woah. |

quick question: what do we need to do RIGHT NOW, if anything, about telling you to send our chips, when you get them, to our assembly guy of choice?
You can tell me the target address now. Ill store it. The amount of assemblers is high enough now but you still can change it later as long as the batch didnt arrive. When the chips nearly arrive i know where the chips all go and can calculate shipping cost then. Its only that this is done before the chips arrive. k. well, mine go to burnin, for what that's worth. not that batch five will get to you any time soon... heh. |

i can't imagine that this kind of increase in difficulty will last too long. 6 months, a year at the outside, then we'll start to stabilize. ...i hope.

mine is getting hot, noticed some screws, is the heat sync upgradeable?
i've unscrewed those screws on some defective ones i have - they're all that's holding the heatsink on, and its a flat surface it's on, so yea, there's no reason i can see that you couldn't unscrew it and replace it. |

Does anyone have, the "lower reward" syndrome?  After every round i got much lesser reward than usual... I am beginning to panic! These are usually around 0.0025, but now 18452 2013-06-07 10:39:27 0:14:40 2847270 229 0.00187782 240218 25.28180000 98 confirmations left 18451 2013-06-07 10:24:47 0:36:58 7112700 622 0.00193577 240216 25.46560009 96 confirmations left 18450 2013-06-07 09:47:49 1:31:11 17439636 1328 0.00158006 240210 25.31299996 90 confirmations left It's not hard to work out. The overall bitcoin network hash rate is increasing rapidly whereas your own mining hash rate remains the same. So you will get less unless you increase your own personal hash rate in line with the overall bitcoin network hash rate. and, in short, you have to do this FOREVER. thus, don't speak of a desired hashrate goal, but percentage of total network. personally i'm hoping to eventually maintain .1% of the whole. So, with ~1GHs, that I have, I can expect to find the block - never, and constantly decreasing reward from mining? Right?  Fraid so... current network hash rate is approx 120000 GH/s - so if you wanted to follow arklan's (admirable) plan and maintain 0.1% of the total network hash rate - you would currently need to be mining with approx 120 GH/s. If and when I finally get my bfl 30 GH/s I am going to move my GPU's to LTC mining - seems to be the preferred model according to some... [EDIT] meant to link to this http://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rateyea... i'm slightly far off from my stated goal... 6.5 ghash right now, and that's only cause of the USB miners... |
