ASICMiner USB group buy- orders closed, pay for extra!

[tvbcof]

Fun with Google Spreadsheets...and group-buy slackers...

It's not perfect because it catches the bottom total and mis-represents the value.  Could use some polish, but the point is that it can actually be quite useful to know of these types of features.  Have fun!

I ended up increasing my order (again) since a friend of mine wanted one.


So I ended up buying five units. Payment has been sent and just sent my verification/shipping email.

oh, nice!

serious logisitcal question - anyone know if it's possible to insure, apply tracking, and pay postage on a package online somehow? if i could just go to the post office and do a drop off that'd be A LOT better then rocking up with over 100 packages to process.

i'm blind. one look at USPS.gov and it's right there...

For the sake of the postal employees, please do this.

I noticed in an Avalon chip purchase thread that they are anticipating customs fees. I do wonder if Arklan is going to get a surprise.

I'm sure that in that case good people on this group arrange a collection to help you out. Also, in the European group buy thread OP is this sentence: "The devices have all been tested. friedcat sends additional devices so that I can replace directly, should a failure occur." If there are no defectives, I think Arklan gets to keep the extras.

Just curious, what is the warranty on these product??

[arklan]

according to the original posting about these, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195004.0

there's a 6 month warranty.

My 'back of the envelope' calculation below is based on the Google Spreadsheet. And, of course, assumes that everyone with an order pays. If not, then the numbers just scale down some.

Taken when Google Spreadsheet was at Total: 434


 2.1013   Price Paid ea.
 431      Num paid (arklan doesn't pay for his three)

 905.6603      Total BTC paid
-18.113206   Escrow 2%
-846.3      Pay to ASICMiner for 434 units (431 buyers + 3 for arklan's fee)
-21.7         aggregate shipping to buyers at 0.05 each * 434
         ("something like .05 btc per usb stick maybe")

19.547094   BTC collected beyond itemized / known expenses

-- edit - Removed an opinion and left only the calculation.

well, bear in mind i won't be getting that until AFTER you all have your miners. still, i doubt it'll be an issue.

[LazyOtto]

i doubt it'll be an issue.

Won't be an issue to me. If you come out nicely ahead, I approve of the entrepreneurship.

My initial thought was that for payment of three devices, about 6btc, you were committing to a lot
of work which would on an hourly basis probably come out to a lot less than minimum wage.

However, if the above numbers hold you will have done ... 'OK'.   

And there are two big assumptions in the above. The assumed 0.05 per device for final shipping
and that no assessment is made at the import / customs point.

Arklan,

[arklan]

ok guys, i'm going to go pass out. if i get any more orders i'll be paying attention to their time stamps!

also, you stragglers, i'mm be PMing you when i wake up.

[MineForeman.com]

Your a brave man Arklin, thanks for organising this for us.  It looks like it will be a lot of work for very little reward!

I got my 2 of them off you because my PM box is full of people asking if I can make sure that there is support on the Raspberry PI (I build minepeon, see my footer).

Neil

[Landstander]

Thanks arklan, payment and signed message sent!
