You will need to email me a label per below info (please read the OP in it's entirety)

For shipping labels here are your choices with USPS:

If ordering a single unit, you can use First Class Mail label if you would prefer that method for cost savings over priority mail for a single U1.
Total weight is under 2 oz in a padded yellow envelope.

1-10   units: Priority Small Flat rate box
1-24   units: Padded Flat Rate Envelope (Priority or Express)
1-81   units: Priority Medium Flat rate box, or Flat Rate Express label
1-127 units: Priority Large Flat rate box.
1-55   units: Region A box (for better shipping rates)  each unit is 1.105 oz. so multiply by number of miners. example: for 55: 55*1.105 = 60.775 oz or 3 lbs and 13 ounces.

those who have fedex accounts or can email me a fedex label, you can do so.

When creating the labels via USPS/FedEx, it's up to you to choose the type of service: Priority/Express, Ground/Next Day etc...

Insurance is recommended but it's up to you when purchasing a label.

no PMing me your shipping address as a signed message anymore.  You will sign 1 string only: tracking # of your label/s

I provide The Fastest delivery to you, bar none!

This batch has a simple setup.  you pay 1 price, provide a label and I ship.  I don't care where you want me to ship it to (domestically).

You don't need to spend btc on shipping! spend USD instead and provide me with a shipping label you buy

HOW TO SIGN A MESSAGE TO ME (YOUR SHIPPING INFO): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195647.msg2291965#msg2291965 Please NOTE: the above example is NOT the same as sending a signed message with your transaction. If you are new to this (aka noob), please read this so that you understand what to do.  This is the single most problematic step in the ordering process.  Here's how to sign a message with a blockchain.info wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=180068.0 Please verify the signed message yourself before you send it to me

how to send a shipping label:
you will essentially download a pdf label from usps and email it to canary.btc@gmail.com (email used for labels only, contact with questions via PM here)
in the body of the email, you will have 4 things:
1. transaction id of your order
2. 1st payment address of the transaction
3. tracking number (no spaces)
4. Signature (your will sign ONLY the tracking # from item #3)
additionally, if you use this method, you no longer need to PM me shipping address as a signed message.  trying to make things simpler for all.
I will check that the tracking number in item 3 matches the label exactly.
See post #2 below for an example.

Common Questions:
When will I receive my order? Answer: I ship out the same day I receive your payment as long as your order is verified before I head out to drop off packages at USPS/FedEx.

Can you confirm my order? Answer:  you can confirm your own order by looking up the transaction id of your payment.  if it shows confirmations >=1, this is your confirmation that your funds were received.  This is what I would do to "confirm" your order.  Bitcoin is designed in a way to allow you to confirm and see what you've done.

Please Note:
Only send payments from an address you control (i.e. you can sign with it). If you send from MtGox or other exchanges, you risk loosing your funds since you can't prove you sent them. Please send from a wallet you can sign a message with.  You will send your shipping address via this method.

Policy update:
Refunds: Your orders are binding after your funds have been received and verified.  I do not accept returns or issue refunds once your order has shipped.  If you sent payment but have not emailed me your label and the signed message, you can ask for a refund.  Refund processing takes a significant amount of time and should not be expected instantly.  Transaction fee will be deducted from total amount refunded.

----------------------

Ordering:

There is one common payment address: 1Kt9enkaUCpqqFTok1wbFv6hTgWpg29kV6

To buy:

pick the number of AntMiner U1 USB devices to order: N.
send the appropriate amount C=N * price  listed above. email me a label. I ship.

ensure the sending btc address is under your control, so you can sign with it in case of disputes

Warranty
90 days. per manufacturer, overclocking voids the warranty.

Communication:
I live in Chicago (CST time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours) and have a day-job that allows me ample time to devote to this endeavor. I do sleep at night, so if I don't answer at night, please be patient.  I'm pretty open and transperant with info.  I post it as soon as I have it, I do not withhold from anyone.  Please respect everyone's time.

Cheers,

Canary

If you are a re-seller on eBay or other outlets, I can handle your shipping.
- you sell
- you pay me
- send me the appropriate label (pdf) you generate for your sold order.
- I ship from zip 60181
- sit back and relax... don't bother shipping yourself.

Thanks,

they have had a tradition of  year change problems.  try 2 or 3 times and it my go through.

[philipma1957]

 to canary these sticks are really good.

 BTW they are the exact same size as an asic miner stick.  the plastic case is nicer.  

they clock to 2.0 with ease really stable.  

I will order some soon.   I have around 40 left from the 105 that i purchased from other sellers.

It is good to see you have these in stock.

this thread has lots of info on setup

yes, they very much remind me of ASICMiner's Erupter USBs all the way down to the edge cut on the heatsink.

[CanaryInTheMine]

Does it work with bfgminer?

bfgminer support is being worked on by Luke-Jr.  no estimate on his schedule just yet.

however, they work nicely with the cgminer build linked on the OP.  there's also a thread "U1 tips and tricks" that is very useful.

[Beastlymac]

Does it work with bfgminer?

Should have native support in.
Bfgminer
Cgminer
Bitminter
Minepeon

Soon.

[guytechie]

Glad to see you stocking these now!  Will you also be selling the Antmindr S1?

[CanaryInTheMine]

an order of 100 USBs gets a free 49 port hub. see OP for fine print.

[visdude]

My current setup comprises a variety of miners (AM USB miner arrays, Blue Furies, BFL Single SC and Cubes) that are all mining off of BFGMiner.  I have never used CGMiner before.  If I get these AntMiner U1s at this point in time, will CGMiner and Zadig (I have no idea what it is or what it is for) conflict with my current setup?  It seems that the CGMiner setup is more complicated.  Should I just postpone my puchase and wait until BFGMiner supports them?

I would sell your AMs you can get $30 a piece for them and use those slots for Antminer U1's. Your going to get with no problem close to 2.0 GH/s. That's about 6 AM BE's.  Selling 3 BEs you should get about $90 on eBay you can turn around with that $90 and buy 1 U1.  1GH/s vs 2GH/s and 2 freed USB slots.

If you take a look at 10 I have running currently you will see how much more efficient use of your usb slots. Hell, your probably close to what you get with a unmodified Blue Fury at WAY less cost!
I just took this screenshot its been running a little more then 24 hrs

no you can run cgminer and run bfgminer at the same time.  In fact as I type I am running 1 version of cgminer for LTC 1 version for the antminer sticks and 1 version of bfgminer for ice fury= kind of like a blue fury.


 Do your self a favor sell all your .333gh asic miner sticks on ebay today.  then use the money to buy these sticks..  I am running 36 sticks on a 49 port hub with a simple overclock to 2.gh  I get 72gh and use less power then 36 am sticks that you have.  and 36 am sticks would only hash 12gh.  get rid of them before people figure out they are terrible compared to these sticks.
