oh, and as per john's suggestion, i'll set up a spread sheet for this later. right now i need food...

[Bogart]

for all you people complaining about price(count me in as one of them, 300mh for 200$ is a ripoff).... the only way to make it go lower is for everyone to request refund and refuse to order at these prices. But, because u guys are so impatient to get the slightest increase in hashing power at no matter the cost...they will continue to sell at such prices(pathetic)

That's the free market in action for ya.

Given how this GB is shaping up, it looks like they've priced them at a level where they'll sell plenty.

[arklan]

ya know what, i just realized something - i think my math regarding my fee is wrong.

it's 1.99 per unit plus .05 = 2.04 + 2% = 2.0808 x 300 = 624.24. but im an idiot and didn't include the 6 btc that would be my fee. even if i'm taking it as miners, it's gota come from somewhere. cause as is it stands, it's 2.0808 x 297 = 617.9976. so... so there's a remaining 6.24 (call it 6 btc  even since i don't have to pay myself shipping) that needs to becover. so, 6/297 = .02020202~ so that DOES change the price.

price revision is 2.10812 btc per unit.

man, i hate math. someone double check this for me?

[Xian01]

 Is the price of 1 unit locked @ 2BTC static, independent of fiat/USD exchange value vs BTC ?

yea, that's ASICMINER's pricing. technically i could set up the shipping to be in USD, but... well, frankly, that seems like a massive headache.

Please be aware, you will need a lump sum of cash to pay for the shipping of units to individuals. I hope you have this cash or an easy way to convert btc to cash to pay the shipping costs.

[Klestin]

My math:
297*2.04 (296 shipping items)
3*1.99 (arklan's fee)
-------------
611.85
+ 2%
--------------
624.087
/ 297
--------------
2.1013

This essentially "charges" arklan for shipping his one original order, but he is repaid the same amount.

i've got that part covered, yea.

good catch! i was charging myself shipping for the first one, wasn't i?

[Klestin]

I think so.  Also note that due to rounding, 2.1013 leaves you short 9 bitcents, so either your fee is 3 units minus 9 bitcents, or round up to 2.1014 and call it a day.   I expect everyone would have been fine with your 2.10812 price, but you did ask for a math check!

Great! Sign me up for one unit at this time. Thanks!

i'll add the 9 bitcents to my purchase, for 1.99 + .09 for a total of 2.08 btc that i owe to the fund.

well, atually i won't get ANY btc as a fee. just 3 more miners. which, you know, earns btc... so, yea.

Don't pester me with your mundane 'facts'. "Nearly 3 miners" is not nearly as impressive as 588 MILLION satoshis!

900 MILLION hashes per second is even more impressive
