[CLOSED] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers

[iamnightelf]

I've just made the initial price drop for Block Erupters on the BTC Guild store.  As stated before, I am not going to work myself to death to be competitive with group buy pricing deals.  Instead, I'm going to keep the store operating on a 24-hour or less turnaround [barring a completely unexpected surge of orders].

Tonight I'm working on adding in a special coupon program for anybody who ordered units at 0.60 or higher.  These will not be the same as ASICMINER's coupon program (0.15/unit), which I still have no word about regarding when we will be able to get more of those (if ever).  The BTC Guild coupons will be made available tomorrow when the next shipment of units arrives.


For those considering ordering:  Units are currently shipping in 1 business day, and depending on the timing, may even ship out the same day you order them.  The current goal is to maintain this 1-day or less turnaround time until the units are removed from the store entirely.

So, what happened to the coupon program? Every other reseller has issued them to ALL their customers... Why has BTCGuild not done the same?

Be careful of the use of the word "all".  That is not true.

WRONG.  Every other reseller has issued them to approximately 30% of their customers, EXACTLY the same as what BTC Guild has done.

On the topic of coupons, is the coupon program that you were working on yourself ready yet? Or are more details available?

My personal (not official ASICMINER) coupon program should go live in the next hour.  All users who had placed an order at 0.60 or higher will get one for each unit they ordered.  Rather than the green notice users got before, there will simply be a red 'Coupons' bubble above the ASIC Store link if you have any unused coupons.

8/8/13 AsicMiner Promo 0.10 btc pricing - My promotional inventory has been distributed to all my past customers at the 30% rate. You should have been contacted by me and allowed to purchase 30% of past 0.89 btc+ USB miners from me at the 0.10 btc price. I was told to handle the 30% promo with my customers as I see fit. Thus, ALL(not the last 30%) past 0.89+ btc  USB miners qualify for the 30% promo, not just the last 30% of orders(which would have been unfair to everyone as the last large order I placed was for my own personal use). If friedcat allows 100 % promo on all  USB miners at 0.89 btc and above, I will pass the savings on to my customers. Everyone that is entitled to promo units will be able to purchase them. Thanks for the question and hope this clarifies it for all my valued customers.

You're obviously missing the point.  It says 30% multiple times and "IF friedcat allows 100%...", key word = IF.

"I was told to handle the 30% promo with my customers as I see fit."

That is not all order's. and eleuthria has said all but like 8 of the codes have been used.  If you don't like the way eleuthria distributed his 30% well tough, life sucks.

You're obviously misunderstanding.  NOBODY is offering to 100% of their customers, try reading a few more threads than the one with confusing language.  Troll on...

Troll on? LOL, please... I haven't misunderstood ANYTHING. I know how to read and I have comprehension. Don't confuse that with apathy, which clearly you suffer from...
Debate is healthy, name calling is not. Grow up

There is no debate!  He already clearly told you what you think you're reading is not the case!  Troll.

That is one reseller with terrible english, and their entire post references the 30% promo.  Only 30% of their total sales received coupons, just not the LAST 30% (which is SPECIFICALLY what ASICMINER told all US resellers to do when distributing coupons).

[iamnightelf]

There is no debate!  He already clearly told you what you think you're reading is not the case!  Troll.

Yes, yes there is. The debate is on whether it was fair to award the purchasers who made purchases @ the lowest prices instead of award the purchasers who purchased at the highest prices. It was handled completely backwards... Those who purchased @ 2 btc were NOT rewarded but those who purchased for 1 or less btc were? In what twisted version of history is that even logical?

Now, why don't you address that? Because there is no way to address that issue LOGICALLY and THAT is why nobody wants to have the discussion.

And to make matters even worse, the NEW coupons are MORE expensive than the going rate that OTHER resellers are offering. How messed up is THAT? For fuc*s sake, get it right...

It's not my decision to make and honestly not worth the argument, however, I do agree with your statement above.

"In what twisted version of history is that even logical?" perhaps the logic is based on difficulty increase and not purchase price? One could argue that those who paid the highest price had the longest time mining at lower difficulty? Just a thought.

[BZBFightan]

Do the coupons have an expiration date (and thus needing to make a bunch of one device orders to keep them) or can I just order one at a time as I hit the required amount of Bitcoin?

Who are you quoting here? I don't ever remember seeing .89 btc price on BTC Guild?

[eleuthria]

New coupons are now distributed to every order (from 0.60 to 1.05 orders) on a 1:1 basis.  These are not ASICMINER's 0.15 coupons as stated many times previously.  They will not expire unless the price on new units drops under 0.40.  The only orders that did not receive this batch of coupons are the orders made using the 0.15 coupons.

Yes, yes there is. The debate is on whether it was fair to award the purchasers who made purchases @ the lowest prices instead of award the purchasers who purchased at the highest prices. It was handled completely backwards... Those who purchased @ 2 btc were NOT rewarded but those who purchased for 1 or less btc were? In what twisted version of history is that even logical?

BTC Guild did not sell any at 2 BTC.  So that argument is invalid.  Additionally, they were given out PER ASICMINER'S INSTRUCTIONS.  If you want to bitch, bitch at the one reseller who didn't follow them, or bitch at ASICMINER.
