[CLOSED] NanoFury NF1 USB stick - Group Buy + Product Assembly

[bitterdog]

Final price is currently estimated to be in the 0.3-0.6BTC range (depending on total quantities this GB attracts) and price of BitFury chip (currently anticipated in the 0.2-0.3BTC range pending announcement happening supposedly this weekend)

It seems punin has put up pricing for September chips, approximately 0.21633 BTC if I did the math correctly.

So the high end of the final estimated price per unit is 0.6BTC + 0.21633BTC = 0.81633 BTC correct?

dentldir sorry for the confusion - I guess I need to expand on the pricing box a bit more.

The anticipated final price (including BitFury chip AND assembly) is in the 0.3-0.6BTC range. It is made of two components: BitFury chip (0.2-0.3BTC anticipated for October delivery) plus assembly and all other components (which we anticipate to be in the 0.2-0.3BTC range depending on quantity).

So the high-end estimated final price is 0.6BTC at the moment.

Who is WE?

Excellent.  Thanks.

0.4BTC for a stick is eccellent...
propabilly will never ROI, but I always can resell them!

So if I want to order 5 o 10 of them incl. shipping to Italy what I've to do?

The amount of 5 is 2BTC, right?

I will get some at the price of .3 btc fully assembled. 
I will commit to 6btc on sept 30. 

  so if it is the max price of .6 I get 10 sticks.

 if it is the min price of .3 I get 20 sticks. .

I will book mark this thread.

Definitely watching, would be a neat fun factor evolution over the asicminer stick.

 yeah if it is .4 btc  and is 2gh  at 2.5 watts it would be pretty nice.

 that is about 3x the price of an am stick but 6x the hash.  same watts

I have the hubs so it would be a lower setup cost for me. 

 I can run 100 sticks so 100 at 2gh would be good.

Based on the schedule you're really in November by the time these are in my hands.  And that is only if everything goes perfect.  November, even with NO cost on power never returns their value.  And by never, I mean before I die of old age.  (Based on the Genesis Block)  At this point, the only safe play is to wait until these can be shipped on-demand to know what the difficulty level is and btc price.  Otherwise it's a loser.  Not to say I wouldn't like to have them, it's just that they won't actually make me any money.

I'm interested in 25 if this GB starts to get going.

Hello bobsag,

we did exchange a few messages:

Is this what you're referring to?

Or was there another message? (which I may have somehow overlooked? and my apologies if that's the case)

=== PRICING UPDATE ===

With both punin and buzzdave now having officially released October pricing it seems the BitFury chips will be closer to the 0.2-0.25BTC range. If we exceed the initial target of 3000 devices that would put the final price also closer to 0.4-0.5BTC (as assembly and all other components will likely also get closer to 0.2-0.25BTC).

The final cost of course will be dependent on the number of devices this GB attracts. But even at the low range of 500 that still leads to a bit lower final price (than our initial estimates) which will likely be in the 0.50 - 0.55 BTC range.

We'll keep you posted.

I will still keep a 6btc commitment by sept 30th.

I will turn in  6btc.  hopefully I will get  15 sticks (.4btc each) for that rather then 11. (.55btc each)

Will this design be opensource? I'm asking this because I think components + assembly can be lower than 0.2-0.25, especially if you consider + shipping costs for us European based. If not, please don't forget the kit option you've mentioned in opening post.

[bitterdog]

Where are you located in SoCal?

[bigbeninlondon]

@.4 I'm in for 10

[vesperwillow]

I would certainly buy a whole bunch if their total cost was .2btc plus shipping.

[Xian01]

I'm interested in 100 of these @ 0.3 BTC

On the several questions:

Open Source: Yes. We need to iron out a few legalities but the goal is to release the entire project as open source. We'll probably do a similar thing as BKKCoin.

EU Assembly: We've been in talks with Marto74 and we're seriously considering to manufacture some boards there and ship EU orders from there. It isn't impossible that we end up making all boards there (as we're still negotiating with two assembly houses here in the US).

DYI Kit option: the only reason why we didn't put it up from day one is that it is really such a hassle to cut out tapes and count and package tiny components
But if there is enough interest we'll probably hire some unfortunate local soul and will offer that option. A rough pricing estimate for the DYI Kit option is 0.1BTC (+ BitFury chip's price) and I might be off +/- a bit depending on how much we end up paying for shipping.

Don't you worry about the interest for DIY kit option at 0.1BTC + chip price, people will by them in dozens. This is only realistic positive ROI option for small miners and hobbyists.
