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

Count me in for 10-25 pcs.
IF There is enough time to consolidate all payments.
 
When do you plan on closing out this Group Buy?

[Spieder]

Put me down for 5.

[nubbins]

i may be in for 5, will know more soon.

it would be cool to cut this one off at 50 for a quick turnaround!

[xjack]

Canary, if I buy 5 here can you ship my 5pcs from buy #2 along with these together and count it as 10 for the USPS Express?

If it's too much to keep track of, I understand.  I'm going out of town and its going to kill me that my batch 2 are sitting idle for a couple weeks.

you can use www.bitinstant.com and do money gram to bitcoin address.

Count me in for 3-5 of these. Local pickup would be the best option for me.

Bitinstant now requires Photo ID Verification.
You Fax/Email it to them and a Half Day later you can use their service.


Coinbase has a 6-Day waiting Period!!!
Once you make the purchase from your checking account you Cannot Use the Bitcoins FOR 6-DAYS!
It' like having your money Seized!

Hey Canary, could you let me know if I've got a unit coming from the GB#1 sell-off this morning?  I'm 98% sure I got my funds in correctly but I haven't heard anything - if somehow I didn't, I'd be interested in this buy.

Looks like I won't make this order.
Thought is was closing earliest Tuesday/Wednesday.

Could you start a #5 Buy to close by Thursday/Friday?

Have coin to send for Order #4...

My calculations are that Bitinstant charges you a HIDDEN PREMIUM of 1.35% over spot when they purchase your BTC.
When using their service calculate in that extra percentage otherwise you will not have enough BTC if you're tight in calculations.

I PM'd it to you the other day.
You logged my info.


COPY sent to verify the message so I could send more from same address.
I don't want the prospect of singed messages from the same Address Interfering with one another.

if you can please follow the format I provide in the example, I can verify quickly without trying to guess what text is part of your message. your message is VERY long
also, messages are not specific to orders. they consist of an address and a text message which generates a string. the purpose is to confirm that a person controls the sending address and a way to collect your shipping address.

Will you be putting a #5 Group Order together that closes before the end of this week?

[CanaryInTheMine]

I just mean that if I wait to put my order in until there's only 2 hours left, what are the chances of my not getting units? Will I still get them or no? Will the manf cut you off at xyz units total?

cut off is time based.  when you see all 00:00:00 the orders are done and I send payment to friedcat

What's the average time from when you send payment to receiving the order that you have observed.

I.e. approximately what day do you think I should expect these to arrive in my location?

Payment was sent on 27th
Some received them as soon as 31st
However all depends on where the weekends/holidays are in relation to orders....

2-3 days if no delays

Canary,

Will you be putting a #5 Group Order together that closes before the end of this week?

possibly...  I will see how Monday/Tuesday goes with batches 2 & 3. I may take a day or two off though after batch 4...

Hey i want 10 I am 90% sure but What wallet will let me send a private signature I have my Bitcoin-qt updating now but it's only at like 60% any other wallets i can xfer my btc too that lets me send a signature?

you don't need to send a signature as part of the  transaction...  you need to send me a SIGNED MESSAGE with an address that you sent bitcoins from.
there's 22 hours to go, your QT wallet should download in time.

[CanaryInTheMine]

$11.70 shipping? Flat rate box is $5.65?

Why the increase in S&H?

it's not just 5.65

I used Coinbase to send funds and now can't send a signed message using bitcoin wallet as i don't have the private key for the sending address. Is there a work around?

Good to know since I just transferred from my bank.
I will transfer to a blockchain account or BitcoinQT then make payment.

[CanaryInTheMine]

I used Coinbase to send funds and now can't send a signed message using bitcoin wallet as i don't have the private key for the sending address. Is there a work around?

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.

 I can send back, then you can send to your qt wallet and re-order.  will you get it back into your coinbase account? anyone know if this will work?

[sf2]

 

[MikeMike]

I'm afraid to take that chance. Might forever be lost. Coinbase has a comment section but not signed so i have no idea what their sending address is. I was able to get the transaction hash but the sending address i guess is theirs.

I'm guessing if you use Bitcoin wallet you own the sending and receiving addresses?

"snipped"

I mailed them and response was pretty quick.
Help page has contact by mail on right upper page.

Yes on owning the addresses...

Canary, I've purchased 5 already in this group buy #4. If I were to order 5 more, would I be pushed to the end of the shipping queue or would the 5 be combined with the first order?

[Noitev]

Out of curiosity, will there be some sort of benefit if there is 300 ordered since there'll be a discount?

effectively that's the cost per unit if you buy 5:

Here are the costs for ordering:

Qt  2=1.99*2 + 0.2618=3.98+0.2618= 4.2418 BTC
Qt  3=1.99*3 + 0.2618=5.97+0.2618= 6.2318 BTC
Qt  4=1.99*4 + 0.2618=7.96+0.2618= 8.2218 BTC
Qt  5=1.99*5 + 0.2618=9.95+0.2618= 10.2118 BTC
Qt  6= amounts needed to order 5 and 1 added together
Qt  7= amounts needed to order 5 and 2 added together
Qt  8= amounts needed to order 5 and 3 added together
Qt  9= amounts needed to order 5 and 4 added together

Sending this message to coinbase. New to this. Hope i worded it right.

Dear Sirs:
I have a bitcoin account with you using this email: xxx

I sent bitcoin using your wallet. The person i sent to needs to get my mailing info through a signed bitcoin message associated with the sending bitcoin address. As it was sent through your wallet i can't do it.

He wants to return it back to the sending address but it would be yours not mine. i told him don't do it as you will get it and not me. Would it be possible for him to send it back to your address and it be credited back to my account?

Do you have a way to remedy this?

Thank you,
xxx

exactly! lets see what they tell you.

Don't do that, you won't be able to sign for it. Send the funds from btc-e to a blockchain.info wallet, it can be used to sign messages.

I appreciate the reply, M.  I sent payment an hour ago along with the PM with required info and have heard nothing back.  The strange thing is the transaction ID is showing that I sent the payment from multiple addresses.  Is this normal?

Olaf replied: *From Coinbase*
There is a one-time waiting period for new customers - their first purchase must clear before they can make additional purchases. You can purchase up to 10 bitcoin per day until your first purchase was made thirty days ago, at which point your limits will increase to 50 bitcoin per day. Transactions normally take 3-4 business days because that's the time it takes for funds to flow from your bank to ours. This is something we're working hard on to improve. Hope that helps!

50-70% price drop is needed. Unless BTC hits 200 soon. China made @ 10-20.00 ea. however the design engineering testing chip designs etc. kicks the overhead up considerably. Looks like they all will be getting their cut and be quite happy. A price drop may be needed to keep sales going once they meet their overhead costs if not already....

Copy everything.
1-Your "Sending BTC" address that's signed.
2-Your mailing address(which this should be the ONLY THING in the message. No blank spaced or lines.
3-Your Signature generated when you sign the message.
4-PM Canary all three.

Sample below:

CORRECTION:
Even though my bank says the ACH went through Coinbase did not update their site yet.
I will post when it's cleared by them.
I think they do some things Manually there yet...however I have same issues with paypal.
So far my calculations show a .3-1.2% premium when you buy the shares.
Not too bad on the lower end.
Much better than Bitinstant's 1.3- 1.5% premium.

Can you guys explain to me why you are buying these devices, which have no other value but for mining of BTC?

I just do not see how these would be profitable given the current growth of the difficulty.

One factor most do not take into account is Bitcoin has the potential of increasing in value into the Thousands of Dollars per 1- BTC.

They are readily available and they work.

They are also silent and efficient.

I've wanted to mine for a while, but was turned off by the power requirements of GPU mining.  I like having a source of bitcoins that isn't dependent on exchanges.

Value is the biggest idea people care not to mention when it comes to mining bitcoins. I have read so much about difficulty increase with ASIC and how there not going to be profitable. But the math is not static. You can make predictions on ROI with difficulty and current value but the potential value for the Bitcoin could be through the roof and make the coins you got from your USB miner very profitable even if it is very few. The power consumption is so low you have only Bitcoins to gain. The USB ASIC makes it so easy to mine. At the end of the day you can run them forever and still make something. Even if a very small %. They are over priced but take a look at what they re going for a ebay! Makes the bitcoin price look good. Anyways just my 2 cents.

WHEN IS GROUP BUY 5 STARTING???!!!!

LOL

SOON!!! get those funds ready...

The WULabsWuTecH ACH Saga has ended!  I got my funds over to campBX finally today!  Will the prices be the same, or should I hold off on buying BTC until you know what price group 5 will be?

[WuLabsWuTecH]

Novelty purpose!  I plan on sticking on in each of my work computers via a USB extension and let it sit as a decoration on my desk!

They ship. And they are the first mass produced USB ASIC, which is awesome in its own right.

People say that if difficulty increases too fast, you would have been better off buying coins.

They are right, so I do both.

should be the same price table, although i'm going to change minimum required for free upgrade to next day shipping (current model wasn't priced all that properly), will up the Canadian minimum (to encourage Canadian purchase groups... I really don't like dealing with customs forms when I have to ship outside of US) and the add on to next day fedex will cost .3.

grp 4 is closed. miners are already on their way from friedcat.
group 5 is starting soon.

Awesome! Money is in all the right places this time so I'll be ready to go.  Any idea when soon is?  Before the week is out?

[HorusFTW]

Canary: Understandable about the costs/qty increases for Canada. I'm hoping that i can combine my group 4 purchase with another 5 units in group 5. That would cut down on one customs form and some shipping costs likely.

This must be a full-time job atm! You're time is appreciated!!

[drlukacs]

One factor most do not take into account is Bitcoin has the potential of increasing in value into the Thousands of Dollars per 1- BTC.

If so, then why would you spend your BTC now instead of wait until it goes up, and then exchange it?

I was considering profitability or breaking even when everything is calculated in BTC (and even ignoring electricity costs).

Yup, was delayed by the four hour Newbie timeout. Just got unlocked this morning.

If difficulty rises too fast, miners won't sell.  Cutting the supply therefore the price will go up

If we have express shipping,  should we have these by Monday or Tuesday?

Good job though. You've established quite the reputation now. Could probably be used as an escrow.

I have to say im a bit disappointed that my express overnight shipping order only was mailed out today and not friday. I was one of the 1st 25 people to order and paid extra for overnight shipping.....

[CanaryInTheMine]

I have to say im a bit disappointed that my express overnight shipping order only was mailed out today and not friday. I was one of the 1st 25 people to order and paid extra for overnight shipping.....

I shipped it out within 1 day as promised, using the shipping method you had paid for.  Sorry that you're disappointed.  If you don't want them, please refuse delivery and I'll refund your order.

I want them, I just don't understand why you would have shipped priority shipping orders that were placed after mine before mine.. I guess it wasn't 1st in 1st out... that's what disappoints me. Had they shipped in order I might have had my devices today

You stated Friday 15 orders did not go out... Understandable.. but there were 32 orders placed after mine..

[GuiltySpark343]

I understand your disappointment. Looks like you bought 6 units, which if delayed by 2 days would cost you a total of $11.85 in lost profits at current rate of $91.90/BTC.

However, I believe CITM did the best he could given the number of customers he had. I think he has fulfilled the terms of this Group Buy, and did ship out using your requested method, and within 1 day as he promised. Even online etailers do not always ship 1st in, 1st out.

Once again I appreciate what he has done, but this has nothing to do with bitcoin. My sole purpose has always been intentions of resale. Time sensitive matter that's why I paid for express overnight. Every one that gets their shipment before me and gets them to sell is lost revenue. CITM is not a e-tailer... You placed your order 4th... how would you have felt had you paid additional charge for express and 50 other orders shipped the 1st day and yours did not? I think under those circumstances you would be a little disappointed also.  Like I said I have complete appreciation for the job he has done, and if you look at a question someone posted in group 3 looking for a new buy I still would undoubtedly buy from him again.. I just think if someone places a order express mail.. and they are one of the first few to get you paid.. they should ship out ... not after 37 other orders or whatever number it was... I run a etail business thru Amazon marketplace and eBay, I certainly ship first in first out. Its good business practice and it prevents this situation. Look how many people are up in arms about BFL shipping out of order etc. It matters maybe not to you or the seller, but the person who is effected it matters.

No sense going on with this.. maybe I should have just taken the conversation up with CITM in PM so there is no drama . let me say this. CITM is a totally trustworthy guy in the age of Internet scammers its a refreshing site.. you know how hard it is to trust someone you don't know.. or even someone you do know with $1500 worth of bitcoins? Thank you

[GuiltySpark343]

I gotcha. A week ago on eBay they were goin for $450, now it looks like they're about $350 and headed down.

[mdude77]

Received units as promised.  They were professionally packed and got here fast.   All are hashing with no problems.  Excellent job all around.  Thanks CanaryInTheMine!

I made it to the post office today and got my order just before they closed.  Four of the 6 are mining.

Setting up CGMiner 3.2.1 was really super easy.  I was expecting problems but they just took off and worked after installing WinUSB via the Zadig utility.

Thanks,

i think that number (the +1 in my case) is dependent on feedback from hero members.  feedback from Hero members carries all the weight

At the risk of showing this to those of you who have already seen it:

I've got a t-shirt group buy on the go for those of you who could use something snazzy to wear.



3-color silkscreen print on 100% cotton shirt. $18 plus S&H, but the price drops to $15+S&H if we can get enough orders.
