ASICMiner Rumors

[CanaryInTheMine]

BTCGUILD has announced this:
"Since all other outlets are announcing this even though it was not supposed to happen until August 1, yes, USB Block Erupters are having a price cut!

USB Block Erupters are now on sale at 0.60 BTC per device (free shipping to US). A huge number of units are en route, which will clear the backorder, and leave roughly 1,000 units available for next day shipping by August 1.

If you ordered an Erupter at 1 BTC, all is not lost yet. A coupon program is being initiated by ASICMINER and distributed by BTC Guild. 30% of the units sold at 1 BTC will be eligible to purchase a 2nd unit for 0.10 BTC (+0.05 Shipping/Handling). The exact method of coupon distribution will be announced when coupon units arrive, which should be around August 5th."

I've setup #15 at .55 btc: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263577.0

regarding .10, I will follow the expected coup distribution, per manufacturers parameters.  Once it is available, those eligible will be notified with redeeming instructions.  


Folks, my message box is getting full of requests regarding this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.msg2794058#msg2794058

My response:
"i don't get involved with rumors  
Being a re-seller, ofcourse I would follow manufacturers requests and promos, once anything is officially announced."

If you PM/email me questions regarding this, I will not answer but defer to the manufacturer.

Hope you understand.

Thanks!

Being you posted in my group buy thread about this link, I figured I would respond to it. My response is the same as quoted above. If pricing is changed by friedcat, my pricing will be adjusted accordingly. Any promos that AsicMiner MAY offer will be handled by me as well. Keep up the great work AsicMiner.

I think the news is already confirmed. I bought 7 USB sticks from you, so it looks like I can get another 7 for 0.1BTC each. Really good news. Just need you to confirm that with ASICMiner.

Thanks a lot!

[philipma1957]

okay I purchased in:

group 10
group 11
group 12
group 13     


 I believe a grand total of 36 sticks.   So if rumor is true I would be able to get 36 sticks at a discount.   
 If this is true I am right on it. It would be very good news indeed.

  yeah as much as I want to say there is an announcement I have not found one yet.!!!

Not really very good new. Just ASICminer want to keep the game on. Think about it, 1 month ago you put 1BTC into USB miner, your estimated time getting that back is about 170 days. Now you put 0.6BTC into it, your estimated time getting that back is about 125 days. So it's not really good news, but just better than not getting it.

If this is true, Canary will be swimming in BTC.  He can order as many as he has money for at .1 and then resell them to new customers for the list price... that is, if 100% of previous customers won't redeem the discount for themselves.  But I am not mad at that.

I can read Chinese so I saw resellers in China's most popular internet market place taobao.com are selling the USB sticker at 0.6BTC and returning buyer can buy it 0.1BTC for each of the USB miner they have bought (I will have my friends in China to contact the seller about it because I bought some USB miner though him in the early days).

Another reseller also said:
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fttbit.sinaapp.com%2Ft%2F50

I think the 0.1BTC thing is almost sure.

But you need to contact friedcat for that, I think it's very complicated job for you if it's true because you have to record and count how many USB miner each person bought from you. I can only say it's really a lot of work to be a reseller in this case.

Thank you for organizing those groupbuys even though you earn some fortune in them.

AM's cutting off the profitability of the k1 before it even gets to market! BRILLIANT!!!
Now when do we get more info on the blades.

[Damnsammit]

So Canary is going to be able to buy over 5000 USB miners @ 0.1BTC each?

Holy crap.

I can feel the difficulty climbing as we speak!

[notlist3d]

Bought 10 in group 11.  Please be true i would be in for sure at 10 @ .1 btc each.

[bkpduke]

Bought 4 in GB #7.  Would be down for 4 more at the discounted price if this holds true.

[awgilyas]

0.6 BTC? I'm all ears now.

[philipma1957]

Wow!

Are these resellers legit or are they selling the usual Chinese knockoffs? I remember a thread with official resellers. Will group buy organizers have the same status?

As said this will kill further activity as guys wait for the lower pricing.

If true, Canary you have another opening for a packer?

Canary will need one! he has sold about 5500 sticks! 36 to me that would mean 36x .1 = 3.96 btc for 36 sticks! even with a tack on of  .34 btc to ship and handle it would come to 4.3 btc.   by the way this is absolute brilliance by ASIC MINER.  IF IT IS TRUE!!   

[azwccc]

Also got a positive confirmation from a Chinese reseller in China, 0.1BTC for returning buyer.

[gateway]

Watching also, need a bit more hashing power .1 sounds awesome .6 is still to much :/

[west17m]

If true, Canary you have another opening for a packer?

Probably will need an accountant as well.  I can't imagine how fast payments will come in.
