Communication:
I live in Chicago (CST time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours) 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,

The one thing anyone can do to make everything smooth and easy is sign a message with a wallet you control.  If you can't sign a message with your shipping info, you will create delays for yourself and slow me down too.

Next, when signing a message, most of the time I have no clue what the actual message is, it's hard to guess and in order to verify, it has to be precise.

For example:


You should send me something like this:

Address: 1L6ZbfnfMmcqFPJ97aZNqozKZQjDWppcmj
-------------BEGIN---------------------
Please ship to:
John Smith
123 Way Ave
City, IL 60188

Canary,

Many thanks for all of your efforts. I just sent BTC for 2 units and only put my forum nickname on the label. Were you expecting a shipping address to accompany the payment? If so, should I send another small payment with the info on the label or just PM you? Sorry for all the questions. I just bought my first BTC today. Used Bitinstant and ZipZap to fund my first local wallet. And the payment to you was also a first. What is the label for anyway?

label is for you to attach some name/description to an address.

no need to send more payments for shipping, although you are always welcome to buy more units.

you will use the "sign message" feature to send me your shipping info. sign with your sending address for the transaction. how to sign: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195647.msg2291965#msg2291965

I'm thinking USB cable extensions from the hub and place the heatsink side on a larger metal block, possibly water cooled?

Will be placing my order between 6 and 7 CST. Anyone around Nashville/Dickson/Franklin TN up for doing a small local group buy to save on the S&H?

It may work to put the "Hot Side" down on a thick large piece of Aluminum on a piece of Granite or tile or cement floor...
Weight the top down the middle or rig it so you screw the hot side to a larger heat sink or AL plate.

my .00015117BTC - these things really dont get THAT hot when you just have a standard fan blowing on them.  you dont need to do anything special to keep them relatively cool.  i ran 10 of them without cooling at all for 13 hrs with no problems.  while they where pretty hot to the touch, it wasnt complete burn type of hot.  as soon as i pointed a normal desktop fan on them they were just above warm to the touch, definitely bearable to keep my finger on them for extended periods of time.

once we figure out how to overclock them, we'll need something more than just a fan... they will get hotter!

As soon as my deposits go through i will definitely be putting in an order for 1-4 of these puppies. Had my wife call BFL today for giggles to see when our order would ship, they indicated the first batch of orders from last year "should receive them by the end of june". I just wish these little guys were a bit less pricey.

[josiasrdz]

I'am going to order one tomorrow, because campbx has temporarily disabled bitcoin transfers in my account for 1 day (because of dwolla  )

Possibly it wouldn't be a bad thing to wait. Either these or something else will likely be cheaper before they pay off their first bitcoin. I'm still buying one though. I'm just hoping this round will make it to 50 after the last two rounds (seems like there's a good chance though).

Sorry Canary to cause so much trouble. I originally tried to use the bitcoin-qt client for a wallet but after 24 hours it is still not sychronized. I was in a hurry not to get left out of the next group buy so I tried the Multibit client and it worked like a charm. Unfortunately it does not appear to support signing. I'd like to export my private key into bitcoin-qt but the latest version does not appear to support this. There isn't much left in the wallet so exporting it to a wallet on the web would probably not be a big issue. Any other suggestions on how to facilitate authenticating ownership so I can give you my shipping address. Thank you.

And the rest of you people get ordering to get this up to 50! I need some new toys!
