Yup reported to the admins.
Do the controllers come with the power adapter or are we on our own for those?
I'm sure it does, but to be honest I totally forgot to ask my friend about this. I would not think he'd have any other use for the power adapters so my preliminary answer would be "Yes" it does come with a power adapter for each block erupter controller.

So basically 2 tubes and a controller for roughly 1BTC seems pretty fair. How much is shipping to the USA if that is an option?
It would depend on location. PM me your postal code and we will try to figure out the most economical shipping option. If you live somewhere close to Toronto or Montreal it would be ideal to drive up and pickup the hardware.

Update on the block erupter controller power adapters. Apparently these did not come with any power adapters. My friend says he bought a bunch of 5v cell phone style power adapters but he did not test them. He is currently powering the controllers from a standard ATX PSU. He said he can add the chargers for $5 to $10. But naturally if you can source a cheaper alternative yourself it may be best.

Yeah I don't think they were included in the original shipments from them that's why I asked. Thanks for the update.

They don't actually require 5V. There's an internal switching regulator so it'll take up to 12. Most of the ones in my hosting ran on 12V.

Good to know. It should be fairly easy to find one that would work.

This is a long shot, but any chance you would sell a single board from one of the tubes?

That is a weird request but I will pass it on to my friend (they are his miners, I'm the "marketer").

Are you in the Ontario/Quebec region by any chance? It would be a lot easier to sell you a bunch if you could pick them up. Shipping is not worth it maybe for this older gen gear. But I'll ask my friend what he wants for all the remaining ones. I think he's sold 1 or 2 already but I will confirm.

I spoke with my friend and he has 8 complete kits left. Let me know where you are located and if you can do pickup. Meeting would have to take place one week from now though as he is around the area doing some research.
