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

[turtle83]

I'm mostly with ya, but am pissed and disappointed that ~friedcat does not seem to be reliable and proficient as a counterpart.

This seems off-base, given friedcat and ASICMINER's history to-date.  They are the only Bitcoin company who are actively mining and shipping meaningful quantities of ASICs.  In the three previous Blade auctions, the blades were shipped within a day or two of payment.  Heck, one guy got his overnight.

Don't get me wrong, everyone is anxious, a lot of us have been burned by BFL/bASIC/Avalon, and the golden rule is "Trust No One."  That said, I don't see how anyone could look at ASICMINER's performance and call shenanigans.

Thats not the problem. The problem with ASICMINER is that they haven't lied about ship dates and taken money...

i'm really hoping he meant without the heatsink on, or got the wrong thread entirely and meant the blades...

but hey, if not, no big deal to grab some fans, eh? ...though come to think of it my usual stores for doing so don't exist in this state... hmm.

[mdude77]

I said this earlier, and it's still true.

I'm interested in 2 at face value here, if anyone wants to back out or isn't able to meet their obligations.

Arklan/John

Mdude77 says that he is interested in my 7 units.  Could you please confirm with him that if I put my receiving address out here and he puts his sending address, that even if I dispute receiving the funds, that you will still be able to see that he sent them and change where the units are shipped too (for a small fee of course)?

If he is absolutely against such a solution, John would you be able to escrow this service.  He sends funds to address, Arklan switches shipping info, funds released to me. (assuming he will pay escrow fees since he doesnt like my first escrowless option)

i'm good with that, yes.

edit: also, the order has been submitted. refunds direct from john are no longer possible. but feel free to work things out among yourselves and i'll adjust who gets what.

This works for me.  ATM I only have the BTC for 6 of the 7.  I assume that might put a wrinkle in the plans.

M

EDIT: I can send you 13 BTC now, with the promise to send the remaining as it's mined.  Assuming avg luck, that'll be about a week.

Small usb powered fans!! Hell, if i don't hear SOME kind of fan going, it just won't feel like real mining!!! 

I will take 2 pieces from anyone that doesn't want their order. Won't have enough coins until Monday the 20th however.

PM if you want to do a deal Monday. I can send coins and post signed transaction here and with Arklan.

[arklan]

like i said, whatever you guys (mdude77, debitme, auseeker, whoever) work out between yourselves is on you guys at this stage. just show me verifiable agreements and i'll shift the numbers around.

[John (John K.)]

Whew, I confirm that I've received the address to make the payment for 429 USB sticks from friedcat. Will post TXID once I send the coins, and ask friedcat to confirm here. 

Order is in some time ago already, was only waiting for the poor address...

[John (John K.)]

Funds sent for 429 miners: https://blockchain.info/tx/c36ce498b4b4d9c75824f6a1f386b6d2d1185be6f72a52f4c3c15bebc748936f

The remaining funds (~13 BTC stored here: https://blockchain.info/address/1FFyoorSfwQC15Xv7zNZ4Lv5yZcM6WFKuF) will be released to arklan once Arklan provides the address to do so, to pay for the shipping and etc. Arklan, please provide your name, shipping address and phone number again for DHL to do its magic once friedcat is prepared to ship. Of course, I'll confirm the details with the previous data you sent me.

Thanks guys for the successful order - now we can be sure that we'll be the first few orders in.

now and Ill transfer 6 units over and then we can talk about the last one next week when you get the funds if that works for you?

Confirmed, and the order has been paid for. 
And yes, Arklan should be able to escrow this easily as the paper-miners can be changed ownership easily.

I asked Luke, and that was in fact without a heatsink.  The original Emeralds that went out to devs apparently didn't have the heatsinks yet.

Emeralds do not have heatsinks AFAIK, but these we're ordering will have them on (Sapphire).

Thank you, just got to work, but I will verify tonight when I get home that the funds are in my wallet, and then let Arklan know to switch some shipping addresses around.

Thanks for a smooth trade!
