Just speculating... using erupters 1Gh/s = 1.8 BTC(approximately) so a 10Gh/s blade better be BELOW 18 BTC or there is no benefit. I'm curious to see although I'll be stuck buying erupters for quite some time before I'll make enough BTCs for a Blade.

no sir, you are off by two decimal points ... (with 4 erupters @ ~333 MH/s each) it is 1.332GH/s = ~.018 per 24hr shift at 100% uptime... |

At this time, I do not believe the current generation of ASICMINER Block Erupter Blades will be added to the store. Due to the low RoI expected, the knowledge that newer ones ARE coming out soon, and the very non-user friendly nature of them (no racks, no cases, no active cooling included), I will probably wait until their next generation of blades (and mini blades) before adding new products to the store.
If you're determined to buy them, I may offer private sales under the condition that you understand these are targeted at advanced users, and you will need to add your own active cooling/mounting for the units.

I thought this was a game to see who could make the most BTCs in the least amount of time at the lowest cost. Nobody told me i had to make a profit too!!!  geesh. |

Do you have any idea what the price range would be? As has already been mentioned, it would take about 30 of the USB Block Erupters to get the same hashrate. |

Current thinking: 13 BTC/ea for #1-3, 12 BTC/ea for #4-7, 11 BTC/ea for #8+ (as in, if you order 10, it's 3 @ 13, 4 @ 12, and 3 @ 11 = 120 BTC). Based on comments in #btcguild, this is roughly $100/GH (11~14 GH/s are the rates people are getting). As usual, this price already includes shipping+handling (Domestic). I would not be selling them international (too expensive). |

Depending on where you buy...anyone can find BE's cheaper than .6 each. |

Every time I make enough, I buy a USB Erupter. All that does is keep up with the Joneseses. It's a zero sum game for me, but its addicting!

A patch is going to be deployed to US Stratum servers in the next hour. The bitcoind version used on the new servers apparently has a bug that is causing it to lock up randomly, which is why a few users had problems this morning, and some other users had problems a few days ago. I'm rolling back to a known stable version. Hopefully this process can happen without any disconnects/performance impacts.
Luckily this lockup has not happened frequently, and the pools/DNS generally do a good job at getting users moved to a still working server when it happens.
UPDATE: The bitcoind replacement has happened, and it appears that no server disconnected users/stopped responding during the process!

Strange, because I was still disconnected again on one machine later on. Fortunately I had a failover pool so no issue to be had (aside from PPLNS fail :-P). Maybe it happened again prior. |
BTC Long.

Hello, I order 1x USB Block Erupters from BTC Guild, and I have an important question.
How the customs value placed on customs declaration? I ask because in my country is not the official currency bitcoin. And if the customs value of more than $ 30 I will have to submit a purchase order and invoice in USD no BTC.
Thank you for reply.

The envelope with customs information includes a small invoice form. The conversion rate used was $30 per Block Erupter on all orders. If for some reason they need a 2nd copy from you, I can email you a copy of the invoice (but the one inside the package should work). |

Unused coupons for Block Erupters (64 in total) were redistributed. These now go back to Order #894. As stated previously, there has been intent shown by ASICMINER to eventually extend the coupon program, but as of this time there is no way for resellers to obtain additional coupon units beyond what was initially provided.

Lame, I missed it by 9 orders... When are you going to drop the pricing to what the others are offering? Citm is offering .31-.35, Eligius is offering them @ .38 and there is another vendor selling @.32 btc... What gives? |
