Customers in the rest of the world
Minimum Order Volume of 50 USB sticks. Price of 0.99 each. 2% sent as redundancy (not in warranty). Shipping is free.
  If you reach the total volume of 1,000 USB sticks, price is dropped to 0.89 each. We will also pay back the price difference of all your historic transaction (timeline started from the 0.99 pricing) of USB sticks. For example, if you bought more than 1,000 sticks, 500 for 1.99 and 500 for 0.99, the new price will be 0.89, and we will pay you the price difference for the 0.99 USB sticks, that is (0.99-0.89)*500=50BTC.
  If we get an excluding deal with resellers in some certain countries we will stop directly supply USBs towards there, as in the case of China zone, Canada zone, and EU zone.

Shareholder
If you are a shareholder of ASICMINER, you will have the privilege of paying later. You will have 15 days to pay after shipping. The maximum volume of USB sticks for this policy you enjoy is (share number / 3, rounded down). Your (USB number * 3) shares will be frozen, thus not trade-able, as collateral, till payment for the USB. If you fail to pay, the shares will be collected back by ASICMINER. The minimum volume requirement of 50 USB sticks still holds for shareholders.

This is great news!

Preparing to close my International group buy as well, in fairness to people who have been arranging bitcoins and are nearly there it will close fully on Wednesday at Midnight UTC so if you still want some of these devices get them while you can at;-

Hey Friedcat!

Thanks for being explicit (and pretty well thought out and fair) about delivery details and such.

Getting hashing power widely distributed to non-commercial enthusiasts is something that I think important and I have a lot of respect for your efforts in this direction.

I'm going to need a bigger hub...

[buyer]

Have you established discount pricing levels?

Hi friedcat!

Will these work on OS X?

[MineForeman.com]

Hi Friedcat,

I am in the process of ordering packaging and I just realised that I have no idea of the dimensions of the devices (in whatever packaging you supply).

Can you grab a ruler and tell me?  (In mm)

80mm x 40mm x 18mm per package.

Will these work with MinePeon?

[MineForeman.com]

Will these work with MinePeon?

Probably, but it is untested at the moment.  Kano from cgminer is also doing a lot of work improving support and as soon as that is out I will be including it.

Can the R Pi power a hub with miners?

Can the R Pi power a hub with miners?

It will actually only work with a powered USB hub, the pi power output to USB is rather pathetic (something like 50ma) and wont power very much.

[mr_john]

No, you will need a powered hub. The raspberry itself only provides 100mA on the USB port (IIRC).

[edit]: sorry, didn't see MineForeman.com already answered

[daemondazz]

Can the R Pi power a hub with miners?

The RPi will not be able to power a single one of the devices, let alone multiple on a hub - you will need to use a powered hub, that is, one with an external power supply.

[LogicalUnit]

I plan on using an RPi with MinePeon to drive my five Block Erupters, through a powered USB hub. Apparently the next version of cgminer will support these devices right out of the box. Kano is working on it.

Could you post your R Rig and components list once you're up and running please.

Sounds exciting!

so i cannot plug this in my computer?
I need a powered usb hub to get this to work ?

[mr_john]

in short:
Will this work without a powered USB-HUB:

in your computer: YES
(because "normal" computers provide 500mA power on the USB port - but you may need a powered hub if you plan to use several devices on your computer)

in your Raspberry Pi: NO
(because the Raspberry does not provide enough power and therefore needs a powered hub)
