ASICMiner Rumors

[SilentSonicBoom]

Actually, now would be the time for someone to speak up.  We have one group buy now at .55, another one opening soon.  I know for a fact I *just* purchased from someone who is now offering a lower price, so it'd be awesome to get some clarification.

friedcat has not made official announcement. He has however let myself order units in advance at a new lower price. I was waiting for friedcat to make official announcement but will now start my group buy at the best prices as Canary has started a lower priced group buy. Please PM me if you need 50 or more and your transaction will remain private. My customers have been poached/spammed by other resellers in these forums and I will have no more of it. I can offer the best deals, just give me a chance. Thank you.

Sincerely,
SilentSonicBoom

Yeah, real weird seeing half the rumour come true but silence on the 0.1 repeat offer.
I would imagine many buyers are repeat and are unlikely to buy more until this is cleared up.
The community really needs a Yes or No on this to put us out of our misery!
If it's BS please just tell us so we can move on.

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.

Nice going!  I am NOT limiting coupon based on the number ordered from me. if you ordered and you are qualified for a coupon, you get it as my customer.

No limits here either. Simple math. 30 percent of 3 does not equal one miner. 30 percent of 4 or more does. I will take care of my customers the best way possible and you can take care of yours. My group buy is now listed here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263587.msg2816165#msg2816165 . Thank you for any orders.

Canary how many usb miners (at BTC0.1) do I qualify for?

Canary how many usb miners (at BTC0.1) do I qualify for?

Better question - what are the qualifications and when will folks be notified? Since people can order at the new price, I'd assume there is fair knowledge of what discount is being given to whom.  Otherwise the ~1BTC purchasers are at a disadvantage as to whether or not they should order, which is not good for a returning customer (or good for customer loyalty).

[chondrite]

I would definitely buy more on top of the rebate/discount offer if my original purchase qualified.

[notlist3d]

Awesome news! I really want to know qualifying factors.

Please read the note about .10 offer as posted by BTCGuild and shared a few posts above this one...
This is all the info resellers have.

55.5 btc for 60 units shipped via FedEx. I have excellent success sending to AU via FedEx. You will receive very fast and without customs issues.  I can ship as soon as payment is received.

Hey,

Im going to wait till you receive the offical notifcation from friedcat about the .6 each resell price.

I can purchase these from a Chinese reseller for .6 but would rather wait for a English reseller to honor the price reduction.

Please pm me when you have this notification.

Thanks

Oh the things I'd love to tell you... Buy I'm bound by confidentiality with the manufacturer... I'll contact you later and show you what could have been.

Purchase now

[WaRz0r]

This is just plain dishonest to me....

[CanaryInTheMine]

Example of how reseller tried to SCAM me to buy

So after your repeated attempts to extort an unreasonable price out of me, you post this nonsense?
Seriously?? Go troll someone else.
You're blacklisted with me. Don't want your orders for anything. Take care.

[WaRz0r]

post this nonsense?

Im directly copy and pasting my private messages to you??

How is this trolling just enlightening everyone else on how dishonest that was...

[arklan]

I see nothing dishonest. He quoted a price, you said you wanted to wait to see how the rumor posted out, he said ok, and alluded to information he couldn't share. I see nothing scam like at all.

Straight from newbie-camp to accusing a reputable reseller of scamming? There is a slight reduction in credibility there.
If those actually are real PMs post a screenshot as that is slightly  more effort to forge and will give you a little more backing to your claim as opposed to typing something and saying it was a PM that may or may not have happened.

Also, if "blacklist" includes "ignore" he wont even see your posts anymore .

Same view here.

Sorry not really a scam just very dishonest...
