Just curious. Not trying to run off your business or anything. But isn't it cheaper per gh/s to buy asic blades? I know the power consumption will be lower but the asic blades are already pennies a day to run.
Like right now I can get 10.7gh/s for 3.65btc by buying an asic blade.
or I could buy 4 Red Fury USB miners and get 10gh/s for 3.6btc.
But here is the kicker. I can get the asic blade shipped to me in under 3 days and be hashing immediately.
I would have to wait 2+ weeks to receive a Red Fury. We should see asic blades drop below 3btc each within 2 weeks.
Also difficulty of bitcoin will go up quite a bit in 2 weeks. We all know the more time it takes to get an asic the less you will make and the chance of making ROI goes down dramatically.
Its pretty obvious if you are going to be buying mining hardware that you should get an asic blade.
Can anyone counter this argument?
Yes. If you haven't got 3.65btc then for less that 1btc this is the best you are going to get. Don't forget blades aren't the most user friendly for new miners. I can counter this.... you can still get usb erupters for about the same cost as blades. 30 erupters @ .12 is about 10GH for 3.6BTC. Shipped tomorrow  . Still user friendly and about exact same cost of blades. I think people are looking longer term with red fury's based on the insanely low electricity. It is negligible when we're talking about 1-2 units, but when you venture off into the 333 Gh range @1k units =2500 kw/h month ($250/month @.10) which is no longer pennies. Same hashing power can be bought with red furry's for 7.5 x less electricity, consequently bringing electricity down to 333 kw/h per month ($33.3). I think this is why they can charge the same and still make people wait a couple of weeks. I guess my point is that there are a lot of option to fit your needs. If you're looking at only spending 1 BTC and you want something now... go with an erupter. If you want larger long term mining (and save some electricity in the process), maybe look at fury's, which you can probably even offload on ebay at a profit. Both have pros and cons, just have to look at your individual situation. |

Updated confirmed orders!  FYI : This Group Buy Will be closing in less than a week. I'll make an announcement and put up a countdown timer in a few days. I have 11 coins. I am working to get 6 more to order 20 sticks I look forward to handling your order! Man getting the 17 coins together is a hassle. I am at 13.2 So close! closer yet 15 coins. either sunday or monday i will have the 17 coins. |

ssinc is a authorised reseller of our products.
Would you mind posting precise figures on wattage and current draw for these BitFury USB units? "Electricity consumption as low as 2.5 watts and 500mA" doesn't really put it in the ballpark as a "plug 'n play" replacement for the ASIC Miner units. A table with typical hashrates and wattage/amps would be helpful. More info on programming is also requested. TIA. |

hello ssinc. Question for you....
Is this a guaranteed delivery of 1st week of October, and is there any chance that this group buy could get cancelled and all payments refunded??
The chance exists but is HIGHLY unlikely. BPMC will manufacturer all of the the orders on demand starting next week and begin delivery the following week (first week of October). If for any reason BPMC cannot deliver I will refund everyone's orders. This is correct delivery will start second week of October. |
Message me if you have any problems

I placed an order for 6 this morning via Paypal, I was just wondering if there was any volume pricing for Paypal orders (vs BTC orders)? As it stands right now, the same six would cost nearly $200 less had I purchased them with BTC. If volume pricing isn't available, it might make more sense to cancel my order, buy BTC, then replace my order?
Any input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Volume pricing on paypal orders would be nice but with paypal you have to remember that the USD's need to be converted to BTC then sent to purchase the units. Then paypal orders usually have a little bit more risk, with fraud and BTC price's changing. |

Do we have any pictures of what the packaging comes like? Is it just wrapped in bubble wrap or something more along the lines of the padded case from AM?

Both have pros and cons, just have to look at your individual situation. To add to this; Not only would electricity costs go down, but I'm running 4 blades in a separate room, the entire room is about 7 degrees (F) hotter than any other room, that is with 5x 140mm & 2x 200mm fans operating at all times. In short, they heat up, granted with the fans they are cool to the touch, but they do generate a decent amount of heat. I imagine these probably won't heat up that much (if they are anything like ASIC USB Erupters), we'll see... Which is why I bought only two, so I can see how they are going to perform, also what kind of temperatures they generate, how much cooling they need, etc, etc... |
