I preordered Bitfury's Asics thinking I can sell shares of my mining operation in my homecountry, but I was only able to sell some as I was new to the forum (same on this forum). I don't wanna bet on the difficulty rise and therefore I decided to offer to sell one unit here. The chips for this Asic are being tested right now, but everything seems to be fine. The project has about 14 days delay and there are updates on it almost every day. You can search for Bitfury on this forum and you will find many posts both in English and Russian, mostly optimistic.
My preorder is from June 9th. There had been about 250 units ordered before me, but it is still the first batch (of 366, I believe). It is supposed to ship August-October and based on the current data (working sample chips, developer's activity), it is reasonable to think mid-September will be the lead time.
The Asic has 120GH/s hashing power and estimated 84- watt power usage. The already working chips's power usage is about 0.3-0.4/(GHash/s) watts.
The proof (somewhat) that I have indeed preordered the Asic and paid for it:

You escrow BTC to an honourable community member (I suggest The Koolio). I deliver the Asic to your European address (preferably near Czech Republic) as soon as I get it. We test it and if it works, the BTC will be transfered to me. The money will be returned to you if I fail to deliver a working Asic to your address within 21 days of its first available pick-up time in Moscow or before November 21st. (I will try to do this asap though and expect the delivery no later than by the end of September.)
I am bearing most of the risks for you and I expect a margin for it. You will only pay if you get a working Asic to your hand, in time. That is, on this forum, an offer unheard of.
The auction will end by the end of Friday, 21st of June. If I get an exceptional offer or I see no rises on the price, I may decide to end this auction earlier.
Starting price: 30 BTC.
