May I ask what is wrong with wanting to be the *official* US reseller?  This is how channel distribution works, the manufacturer relies on a channel (group of partners, generally arranged by geography) so that they only have to ship to a trusted partner and the trusted partner handles individual sales.  

IMHO, this would be a problem is Kosmo went and purchased 1000 at the .89BTC price and then sold them for 1.5BTC.  But he's been reliable and honorable in all group orders (I research anyone I'm gonna send BTC to, he passed the test).  

Reliable hardware service is something BTC needs.  Right now we're all throwing money at KNC shares and BitFury pre-orders not knowing if the hardware exists / will work.  A lot of people poured money into BFL and they're finally shipping.  Not even gonna touch on Avalon and whatever has happened around batch 2.  And AM seems to have realized that offering hardware at a decent price point for the current dif/share rates makes sense, especially when you can grab all the GPU crowd before they shut down and turn off their BTC operations, or worse move to pump-n-dump coin of the week which only makes a joke of the ideal behind BTC.

But if I know I can reliably order hardware from someone I've ordered from before, I'm happy.  No pissing BTC into the wind hoping magical hashing boxes show up.  

BTW- Full disclosure, ordered 10 erupters from Kosmo that are arriving today, ordered 15 from Eleuthria @ BTCGuild (simply a question of who had or would have inventory).  I trust both of these folks with how much coin I've thrown their way, so I'd be happy to see either or both of them have some exclusive deal so we can order AM hardware in the US with greater reliability.  I've got nothing against the Chinese despite seeing that their country happens to have the manufacturing capacity to make or break BTC right now, but I'd much rather order from the US and have my item shipped from the US than deal with some of the customs issues I've read about recently.

"Ira H. Fuchs" is a bot. See his nonsensical posting history. Avoid replying to his posts.


good morning sir, So do you have any questions? There seems to be a considerable amount of confusion on this board. We are actually looking for designers and engineers who have innovative skills to contribute to the bitcoin project..Ira

What would be really great is if he just sent a few hundred thousand of them to Amazon to sell for him.  Grin

Is there a reason only BTC is accepted for them? Just the principle? With BTC being so volatile, I'd think cash would actually be preferable if you're not adjusting the price in BTC to the market...

One thing people might not realize when you sell on Amazon. You do NOT get your money right away. Amazon pays out in 3 week blocks.
So if he sells 1 Block erupter today he will not get paid till 3 Sundays from today. ACH pushes are every Sunday around 2PM PST.

I would agree, but then again "cash" is harder to move around and well you have the regulatory banking industry to deal with.  Given FC pays dividends in XBT, so accepting cash complicates the bookkeeping and dividends.

Moreover, FC has to convert the XBT to RMB to pay expenses, so  it is good that he has to sell some, and well the rest of the market gets access to that.

So in conclusion its good for the XBT economy that it works this way.

Not sure where you get that from - Amazon pays me weekly or on demand, my choice, and that includes all shipped orders at that point. I just wish they didn't take 20%. At least it's better than the 30% they take on Android apps (which they do delay payment on by a month).

Well, at least the advantage to the buyer is that they've gotten a whole lot cheaper in the last week...

You can buy them on Amazon for $150 USD. You can buy them on BTCGuild for 1 BTC (~95$). So it's only a 50% upcharge to pay with USD.

Has Friedcat replied to anyone about further USB sales?

I PMed him about 5 days ago about buying more. He replied with an address to send the coinage to for purchase. I sent the coins to him, but haven't heard from him since I sent (on the 11th). According to the blockchain, he hasn't redeemed them, either.

Does anyone know what's up? I've E-mailed him / PMed him about this, and no response. This has me rather worried if not aggravated, because I was hoping to get them soon.

I know that I had a similar experience, and he finally replied after a few days with a tracking number and I actually received them the next day from that.  overall process after sending him the BTC was right at 7 days.

p.s. - you wont see the BTC "redeemed" until it is time for the dividend pmt (Wed)
