Great News. Can't wait for the new ones.

Was that news?

well, it's better than the bombshell that avalon dropped.

Who is this "teek" guy for Canada? Never heard of him.

Right here   www.wtcr.ca

you'll be hearing from me the second pricing on new blades is announced! Based on the block erupter prices and profitability, hopefully we can see prices in the 0.8-1.1BTC/Ghash range!

[Bitobsessed]

Thanks for the updates.

[miffman]

what will the erupters cost?

[AngelSky]

I'm asking myself: who is going to buy these old machines. Is it for a museum ? Do you really expect some ROI ?

Money making machines (only for those who made it with your money ; )

Well this is the Aliexpress price:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/ASICMINER-Bitcoin-Miner-5GHS-new-version-Contact-me-before-you-pay-Limited-quantity-Old-customers-first/1112611704.html

It's about 15-ish BTC for 5GH/s model (keeping in mind no one currently has 5GH/s+ units in stock in the West). Seller guarantees delivery in 15 days.

friedcat, are these models on Aliexpress illegal clones or are these legit models selling thru a different channel?

Aw, OK got it.

Pricing: 0.69BTC

Why the significant difference over US pricing?

[Trongersoll]

I wonder how they decide which color to make the Erupters. Mine are mostly Black & Red. out of 30, i have 4 Gold ones and 1 Silver one. I think they should make new ones Blue.

[Transisto]

When will the share transfer mess will be solved with deadterra / Bitfunder ?

You haven't replied to my emails about it.

Now that the USB buyers are getting coupons and are eligible to buy another one at a lower price.
Any word if there is any coupon program for buyers of the blades during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd auction paying >= 50BTC .?

I feel betrayed since we are the first and the foremost guys who vetted trust in ASICMINER hardware and got the sales going.

I feel betrayed

I recommend a short holiday in the BFL or Avalon threads till you regain a little perspective.

Honestly, anyone buying the blades was well aware of the price vs. hashrate at the time and has benefited from before the difficulty rose dramatically.  This is why people are being so cautious about hardware purchases now, as 10BTC / 5GH may sound like a good thing until you realize just how quickly difficulty will rise.  Even buying old/new blade as soon as they are available is a risk because you're hope is to get hardware online before any larger Bitfury implementations, BFL suddenly solves their supply chain issues (hahahahaha, hahahaha, just had to say it), or Avalon manages to fight off the Triads and ships some chips.

Thanks for your thoughts. It is fair enough and makes sense. That is what we all thought when we invested in blades.
However, the same philosophy goes to USB BE's buyers as well. But now they are being compensated. My question, then why not us who invested in ASICMINER hardware earlier than them.
