HOW TO SIGN A MESSAGE TO ME (YOUR SHIPPING INFO): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195647.msg2291965#msg2291965 Please NOTE: the above example is NOT the same as sending a signed message with your transaction. If you are new to this (aka noob), please read this so that you understand what to do. This is the single most problematic step in the ordering process.
Here's how to sign a message with a blockchain.info wallet:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=180068.02013-06-23: This group is now open to international orders. It is limited to those countries where FedEx can deliver. I charge an additional 1 btc for the first pound of weight to ship
internationally. the minimum weight I can specify with FedEx is 1 pound. It takes a hell of alot of these units to weigh 1 pound. I reserve the right to switch carriers if I
can not use FedEx to your location. for international only: please include your phone number that will go on the fedex shipping label
2013-06-24: payment sent to friedcat for over 400+ miners! let's keep those orders going!
Timer removed. End time: 2013-06-27+11:59:59
Pricing:The minimum order size for the group buy is 50 units.
The cost of shipping up to 10 USBs is .09 bitcoins. Shipping cost in this batch is different than other batches.
Insurance cost is $2.40 for $1000 of declared value. This adds .0218 btc.
Handling and processing is .15 btc for up to 10 USBs
So this is about (10*.99)+.09+.0218+.15 = 10.1618 BTC per 10 USB devices. which is
BTC1.01618 per USB device when you buy 10.
Note: If you want to pickup your order in person, you may do so by appointment, after I finish shipping first, your cost is 1.0 btc per USB device under this option.
Ordering:If you still want to buy and are fine with the above pricing model, then you will have to participate by paying for your order upfront.
There is one common payment address:
1JzCPZvUsnTTcedDfCyz1SV52Lc1aLSRhmTo buy:pick the number of ASICMiner Block Erupter USBs to order: N
where N is between 1 and 10 onlysend the total amount (C = (N * 0.99)+ 0.2618) to the given address
post your order in the following format: <forum nick>; <N>; <C>; <sending address>
ensure the sending address is under your control, so you can sign with it in case of disputes
You can order in multiples of up to 10. Meaning: if you want to order say 11, you would place two orders: one for 10 units and another order for 1 unit. to order 12, you would place 2 orders where N=10 and second order where N=2... and so on.
Here are the costs for ordering:

If there is enough demand to order an additional 50 unit batch, I'll do so (given they are available to order). Those not getting into the queue will get their coins returned (to the sending address).
Shipment:The USB miners will be shipped to you within 1 day of me receiving them. Shipped in cardboard box, not padded envelopes... Here's the shipping sketch:
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,
