Hoping to gauge interest in a group buy of the ASICMiner USB Sticks for Australian Residents ONLY.
The purchase will be on a similar format to other group buys, one of which is quoted below (and will be the template for this buy), and the charges and escrow fees and arrangements similar.
Please reply with your INTEREST ONLY, and if there are enough, we can do a formal agreement with finalised fees and charges.
I am not sure if we can get the 300 minimum, but hopefully if there is a significant number (ie 100 or so) we can get that amount from one of the other bulk buys going.
Cheers
Adam
QUOTED from CanaryInTheMine
Please Note: Only send payments from an address you control (i.e. you can sign with it). If you send from MtGox or other exchanges, you risk loosing your funds since you can't prove you sent them. Please send from a wallet you can sign a message with. You will send your shipping address via this method.
Policy update: Refunds: Your orders are binding after your funds have been used to pay for an order. Before that (while coins are piling up for the next batch), you can ask for a refund and will get it paid back in full. Understand that after you get refunded, I will not accept future orders from you.
Folks and miners,
As discussed in the [Announcement] Block Erupter USB thread, I want to support the ordering of individual Block Erupter USBs and act as a distributor for the 300 units offered in bulk order by ASICMiner.
Product Description:
the only payment accepted is Bitcoin. the minimum order quantity is 300, maximum has not been specified, but there probably will be a maximum. Each one mines at more than 300MH/s, powered only by the USB port. It serves as a replacement of GPUs for mining hobbyists. Your GPUs could be freed from calculating hashes and resume rendering for you. It is also a perfect gift for getting people to learn about Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining. The Sapphire Batch: This is the first batch under production in quantity. Its lead-time is conservatively 15-20 days. Color of PCB changed to blue Adding a LED which blinks when a share is found Fixing the cgminer compatibility problem Reducing the heat generated and the current to <500mA
Pricing: The minimum order size for the group buy is 300 units at 1.99 bitcoins each.
Shipping cost: $5.80 for Priority Mail Small Flat Rate box. I will ship up to 5 USBs per 1 USPS shipping box. At the current exchange rate ($110 USD/BTC) the cost of shipping up to 5 USBs is .053 bitcoins. I will not use anything else like a padded envelope and risk crushing of USBs while in transit.
Insurance cost is $TBA for $1000 of declared value. This adds .0218 btc at current exchange rate.
Handling and processing is .15 btc for up to 5 USBs
So this is about 1.99+.053+.0218+.15 = 2.2148 BTC per single USB device.
Note: If you want to pickup your order in person, you may do so by appointment, after I finish shipping first, your cost is 1.99 btc per USB under this option.
Ordering:
If you still want to buy and are fine with the above pricing model, then you will have to participate by paying for your order upfront.
There is one common payment address: to be advised
To buy:
pick the number of ASICMiner Block Erupter USBs to order: N where N is between 1 and 5 only send the total amount (C = (N * 1.99)+ 0.2248) to the given address post your order in the following format: <forum nick>; <N>; <C>; <sending address> ensure the sending address is under your control, so you can sign with it in case of disputes
You can order in multiples of up to 5. Meaning: if you want to order say 6, you would place two orders: one for 5 units and another order for 1 unit. to order 7, you would place 2 orders where N=5 and second order where N=2... and so on.
If there is enough demand to order an additional 300 batch, I'll do so (given they are available to order). Those not getting into the queue will get their coins returned (to the sending address).
Shipment The USB miners will be shipped to you within 1 day of me receiving them.
Communication I live in East Coast Australia and have a day-job that allows me ample time to devote to this endeavor. I do sleep at night, so if I don't answer at night, please be patient.
Cheers,
Canary
