[ASICMINER] [Block Erupter USB] [Price Update] [Australia]

[erk]

Yeah, @4BTC the blade pricing is totally out of the question, which is a pity, there is nothing wrong with the product, it just can't make ROI.

Recieved my block eruptor USB yesterday. Fun to play around with and arrived in amazingly good packaging.

[erk]

I got a PM from julz yesterday who has taken over from dadj saying the Block Erupters are back in stock. They seem to have gone up slightly to 0.175BTC.

[Zeek_W]

^ Still pretty cheap. I'm awaiting an email from him now regarding postage.

[julz]

Hi All,

I have only 4 or 5 USBs left depending on what payments I receive today and I'm hoping to have more USB Block Erupters (and Blades) at the end of the week.
Price is still 0.175BTC ea at the moment - but from the next batch I will be able to honour coupons for reduced price for those who bought earlier at higher rates from Leo (I still need to confirm details)

Currently I have about 6 Gen-2 10.7GH Blades available at 3.9BTC each.   
Blades arrived from China without green power plug but I just nipped up to Jaycar and am throwing one in each box. (They were $3.90 ea.. I'm sure they can be sourced more cheaply - but I felt it best to help people get set up quickly)
(I don't ship those plugs for people ordering 10 blades - as a 10 blade order gets a power backplane thrown in)

I ship by express post with signature required - (optionally with insurance for loss/damage) and will quote that when given a shipping address.

Thanks to Leo for passing on the enquiries.
Sorry to those who missed out on the current batch.  As these are time-sensitive - I really have to go with allocating these in payment order - which currently means payment by BTC.
For the next batch I may accept payment by bank transfer for orders under about $300 if you're able to quickly supply evidence of the transfer.

Cheers,
Julian Noble

do we still post enquires in this thread or so yuo have your own?

once the new batch arrives i would be interested in some different colors as im looking to have some fun with some.

at the new pricing they are basicly throwaway so i may as well have some fun with them.

[julz]

I'll monitor this thread for now.

Gen-2 Blades only in stock. I'll update when more USBs arrive.

[Trillium]

julz if possible could yourself or Leo keep us updated in this thread in regards to stock, I'm pretty sure 5 USB's will sell out in no time. I am possibly going to place an order soon for a few more than that so please advise if you get more in stock. I don't have the funds right at this time so I can't place an order immediately 

[julz]

Stock is 6 gen-2 blades of which 5 are 'tentatively' allocated.  I'll ship this afternoon if I get payment in the next hour or so.

Expecting another 100 USBs + 30 Blades either late this week or early next.

Orders of 10 Blades get a power-backplane at no additional cost aside from possible increase in shipping price due to size/weight

edit: I probably shouldn't refer to them as 'gen 2' - as I assume the chips are the same as the old blades. These are the 'new blades'.

Hopefully my payment came in quick enough!

Also if anyone would like to overclock the sticks im happy to modify them for a small fee.

I currently have a small stock of the parts with more on the way and can do more if you supply the parts.

im in melbourne but shipping on these is easy so anywhere in AUS is ok.

Jaycar have a powered 10 port hub, it's only 3A though, anyone know of something better without having to import?

dse have a 10 or 13 port one. but its like $60

just get a standard 10 port one and get a separate power supply would be my suggestion.

[TylerRice]

julz can i get that last Gen-2 Blade off you please.

If you can give me a postage price to: P.O Box 319 Mannum, South Australia 5238 via an Inbox.

Thanks

I'm currently running 7 through the Dick Smith 13 port hub. and the 4A power seems to be going fine. The ports on it are too close together to fill all the slots, so you can only fit 3 each side without using extension cables.

[julz]

I don't yet know my landed costs for the next batch of USBs - but at this stage I anticipate selling at 0.16BTC each for new orders & 0.145 for people who have previously bought from me or Leo.
I expect to be able to start shipping these on Monday or Tuesday.

Please supply at least your suburb/postcode when enquiring and I'll quote for shipping & handling (express post with signature required on delivery).


I'm less certain there will be Blades available early next week - but if so I expect the price to be 3.85BTC each.

[Zeek_W]

Sounds great!
