There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

@kosmokramer
pls stop to spam the Forum with your request to flood friedcats mail and PN box. Make a poll or something
------------
@wernerno
within the EU there is no need for a GB
you can buy directly, no GB, no minimum they will be in stock within the EU. shipping will be from Germany with DHL oder registered priority mail
But friedcats update was a little bit surprising for me. Because there are still a few things to clarify. Must first talk to him and my business partner
so pls give me a few days, thx
best yxt

Apologies for my previous post (since removed) - friedcat gets enough emails/PMs. I took your advice and created a poll. Please check it out when you have time and answer so ASICM and other manufacturers know what you value when making your hardware purchase: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241926.msg2565390#msg2565390

Take that 1 Bitcoin and invest it into something which might make a return.
ASICMiner shares? It's at 3 Bitcoin per share and look at their dividend payouts...terrible. Terrible? Go to Vegas and put it all on red then, man. You won't find a much better investment anywhere in the world right now.

It is too optimistic to expect block erupter blade yield 13Gh/s - It's overclocked with a voltmod. Yes overclocked yields 12+Gh/s. One can see 13Gh/s ocasionally in blade web interface. But it is not something you should expect. Speed reported by pool and stratum proxy is lower anyway (I have no idea why). my blade consumes 150 Watt. I recall someone posted his numbers and they were close to mine, not 100 Watt - Look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204030.0citation: Hashrate: baseline 10 GHash/s, rated 10.752 GHash/s, maximum 12.829 GHash/s with overclocking and proper cooling Power Consumption: 70 - 75 W on 1.03 - 1.05 V, 83 W on 1.1 V, 100 W on 1.2 V, 120 W on 1.2 V and overclockingSo you should at least tell it is 120W at 13Gh/s in your table, not 100W. Again I have the blade and can tell the consumption is higher:

So you should at least tell it is 120W at 13Gh/s in your table, not 100W - I may agree with this statement, so corresponding value in the table was modified. Thank you.

If you bought 950 at 1.99 and now 50 at 0.99 they will pay the difference 50 x 0.1 = 5 BTC 950*1.99 = 1890.50 BTC , 50*0.99 = 49.50 BTC1890.50 +49.50 = 1940 - 5 = 1935 1000*0.99 = 990 BTC , 1000*0.1 = 100 BTC990 - 100 = 890 BTC890*2 = 1780 BTC for 2000 USB Block Erupter... 1935 BTC for 1000 early adopters. Early adopter get's Scammed... And community still says friedcat u done well...

Early adopter get's Scammed... And community still says friedcat u done well... I assume this is in jest and not an actual accusation against friedcat for scamming/price-fixing/etc (I say this because the cost could have remained the same, however I believe production has become more streamlined and demand still high enough to warrant continued production and now we all can benefit from a lower cost). Awesome. Bought 6 of these at the old price 12 days ago and still don't even have them, and now a price drop. Fucking great.
I'm not sure who you ordered from (although the original order is likely placed if you are expecting them in the mail, so I'm assuming you are not up for a refund), however if you ordered direct, a friendly (lol keep that in mind) PM couldn't hurt.
Anyway the real reason for this post was regarding running a Block Erupter from a Raspberry Pi. Given that you are providing the Pi (although I would only recommend doing so with a Model B, Rev. 2 unit) with enough power (I recommend a custom adapter rated at 5.25V/2A - the reason being that voltage is lost due to the cable in use and other fun electrical reasons and this will give your 5V products 5V, instead of 4.75V; also regarding amps, the Pi can use up to 700mA on it's own, if available, so the reasoning behind this should be obvious) you will likely be able to run 1 Block Erupter, however I take no responsibility for whatever happens to your hardware (most likely the worst possible outcome would be tripping the fuses on your Pi's USB port, and if you can afford to buy one of these units you can likely afford another Pi ). Note: I have an extremely bad habit of writing in parathesis when I am tired and seeing as I've been up for hours without coffee, I made the main sentence bold to be more easily read, however please read the entire post before acting on it.

By buying USB Block Erupters at 1.99 BTC, you made the decision to give your money to friedcat in exchange for the product. If you got your product, nothing is wrong. There was never any promise that you would be refunded if prices dropped.

And that would be like any product with a price drop anyway. Like those massively expensive plasma screen HDTVs.

Teek runs wtcr.ca, you can buy them there or on bitmit It's at 3 Bitcoin per share and look at their dividend payouts...terrible.
I actually rage when I see things like this. <Personal insult removed>. Even at current all-time-high prices, AM shares have an annual yield of 28%. Now, go out and find me ANY OTHER INVESTMENT IN THE WORLD offering that sort of return. Jesus Christ. EDIT: Sorry, name-calling is mean.

I can't believe so many people are complaining about price drops.
News flash, bitcoin difficulty is going up fast, so ASIC price drops are going to be the name of the game from here on out.
If you thought a block erupter was a good enough value to buy at 2 BTC, it should be a screaming buy at 1 BTC, so buy some more.

Now that its .99 each I would like to order 200 units but I want to do it via Escrow so I know I'm not getting screwed by sending that many bitcoins to someone I don't know.
My asshole is already to big because of BFL and Avalon delays I'm not going through that again.
I don't know what does this mean... "Customers in Canada Please contact forum member teek, whose RRP is agreed by us."
Last time I wanted to order Someone with a gmail address gives me a bitcoin address and tells me to send money. Come on!!! Lets get real here I need some sort of security.
