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

[arklan]

I mean fucking honestly USPS... I could have gotten on a bike and took a small vacation and received my miners faster...

How is it possible to take this long to deliver something?!!!?!  Oh and the "tracking info" makes it seem that the package has not even been received by USPS yet... it just says "electronic shipping info received" like it was entered into a system... and just is sitting on some shelf somewhere now... that cant be the case... right?

USPS does suck unfortunately unless you pay for every bell and whistle. Delivery confirmation is not even technically proof of delivery, they call that "signature confirmation." USPS routinely scans the packages at the office as "delivered" and then loads them on the truck for delivery. This means you can have a package marked as delivered but not actually show up until the next day.

i've had that happen to me, two days in a row now....

mine officially "got lost" and i've been assigned a case number from the USPS... great

ARGH.

And still no device in the mail... If it does not come by Friday of this week I am going to have to assume it was lost in the mail, there is NO WAY it could take over 2 weeks to ship right?

definitely not. sounds like it's lost for you too. there was one instance i know of 2 packages of two sent to someone who ordered only two. i assume those are shep's missing pair and have sorted that out. for you guys... uh... well, i have the warranty ones, and my personal 5... 19 total.

If anyone is interested in more, I've got a new group buy setup: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=226656.0

edit: never mind... it turns out the guy dropped it off in a weird place that I didn't notice at first... but I found the package, everything is ok!

[PeZ]

My Fedex guy rang the doorbell, stuck it in the mailbox and took off. Unfortunately high priced items should always be sent with signature required. The people who haven't received theirs yet should contact Fedex now.

FWIW, all the ones I got from Arklan were Silver, and all the ones I got directly from friedcat were black.

my board says Rev 3.0 what does it say on the ones from friedcat

 Same stuff. Rev 3.00

You should have just stolen our 1,000 BTC and hightailed it to Mexico.  It would have been a lot easier.

Oh thank heavens!   I was worried they were REALLY lost and I was going to have to prove that somehow... or just be out some miners.

Did you already ship them?  If not.. Ship them NEXT DAY air... like... I will pay any extra shipping costs you are willing to cover... but I want them here as FAST as fucking humanly possible!

Thank you again! Lets just hope they get to me this time.

[arklan]

i wasn't able yesterday - didn't have funds available - but yea. overnighting for sure.

Thank you!  I am kinda glad they got returned... because now I will have tracking info that actually tells me something!

Just reporting in.

Received a warrentee replacement unit from arklan today.

--

Rearranged some fans for more aggressive cooling.

The one I already had from the original delivery is running with 0.5% hw errors.

The replacement is at 0.93%. (Which I consider within spec / good enough.)

With 7hrs of runtime.

Note: Room ambient temperature is kept at about 77 degrees F.

The rosewill hub can be found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182057
The hub has been modified with the Astec PSU shown in the picture to provide 5A on the USB ports to happily power five erupters and the raspberry pi

[PeZ]

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
