July 10th, AFAIK, was to be an announcement for new blades 5GH/10GH. I haven't seen any mention of "new" USB miners coming, has anyone?

As you are in the united states of america, it should be simpler for you to just give a call to the postal company and ask for clarification (instead of just saying that you are sure). As far as I understand, they could be kept there forever, if no one reacts.

fyi, that does not work....no way in hell can you call those guys and get info... |

BTCGuild on the Asic store page says: "ASICMINER currently has no USB Block Erupters in inventory to ship to resellers or individuals. At this time, they expect new inventory to become available around July 10th. New orders are currently disabled until inventory is ordered from ASICMINER. Sorry for the inconvenience." With no tracking # do you think Friedcat is OOS and cannot fill this order? I would think BTCGuild has a lot of pull with Friedcat. Or perhaps Friedcat is going to fill orders with the new product (that would be sweet) Bitterdog we're all in the same boat tell him Bitcoin mining and speculating is like rolling the dice in Vegas. Or like day trading. It could just as well hit $200 per bitcoin this week as it did $62. All the people who bought at $30 when it later hit $260 could have just as easily seen it drop from $30 from $3. The ones hardest hit are the ones that paid $130 x 1.99B = $260 a couple weeks ago and are now mining $65 bitcoins |

As soon as I get an indication either way, I can share the info and make a decision on what to do. Stay tuned. |

From a look at the other group buys it seems like they are also having difficulty even getting ahold of friedcat |

this is not coming from any inside info but i bet these usb sticks were old inventory that he wanted to clear out in a hurry before gen2 came out with faster hash and/or lower price, and btcguild blew threw them faster than he expected - they ordered 1k, sold it in 40 minutes, then the next day ordered another 3k. if they say he's OOS for resellers he's probably literally all OOS with a bunch of unfilled orders. If anyone has first dibs with friedcat its btcguild.
i bet he's finishing production on gen 2 usb sticks and his plan is to do some sort of substitution but he doesn't want to blow the lid off it until 7/10. so he's keeping quiet trying to stall. but starting to piss off a lot of customers in the process.
thats my 2 cents worth but its all speculation.

Just got this from friedcat: " They were already shipped. The tracking number will be reported to you as soon as it's generated. Please note that we added more variance in the new products (LED color). This batch's LED color is a little less annoying (yellow green instead of green) when the USB idles." so group 9 has shipped, awaiting tracking number  on to setup group 10 since stock is again available. |

so we're getting v3... i wonder if the specs are the same or better... we'll find out july 10
i'm not understanding how he said they were already shipped (does he mean the rest of the old supply was shipped to other people), and that ours isnt shipped yet "when tracking number is generated" because arent tracking numbers generated when you generate a label (before it actually ships)?
Or is it translation error and he is saying they are in the process of being shipped and will have tracking # when its actually shipped

I don't know why people have created this idea about July 10th being related to USBs. I have not heard that from ASICMiner and have not seen anything about USBs and July 10th. As you can see, they are back in stock and are not awaiting July 10th... I do believe July 10th is going to be dedicated to other products (particularly blades). Anyway, this is the only comment I will make about his, PLEASE DO NOT turn this tread into a discussion unrelated to group 9. specifically. You are invited to discuss other ideas/questions on their appropriate threads which can be found in the Speculation sub-forum on on the "Other Hardware" sub forum where there are a couple of posts by friedcat. |

One thing for sure is that all these rumors has driven prices down. I do not have ANY indication that price for USBs in btc will change. in fact, price of .99 came out when btc was trading at 100 USD, today it's trading at $70. so I guess that is a discount. |

cool.
Please pm fedex tracking when you get a chance.
If Coinbase goes thru fast enough might be able to get in group 10 for 30 units.
edit: Looks like I better buy 28 units to save for the next batch
