Happy to contribute to all your dividends.  As shareholders, you'll be happy to know that BTC Guild's initial stock (1,000 USB Block Erupters ordered, 800 available to public sales) sold out in under 40 minutes, and already has over 200 units on backorder.

People must want these as novelty items. I don't get it. 40 minutes???

They are just too sexy to resist. A triumph of form over function

That and 100 years from now it will make a sweet museum piece

DAMN I was going to order from BTCguild as a way to support them for taking this step... then again... guess I did not need to.

Looks like I will have to buy some in the next wave...

CANT WAIT for next week divs!

That and the price - 1B is definitely the "sweet spot" for a USB stick. They should keep this price for all future USB sticks, just up the performance. Who hasn't got 1B to spare?

I registered asicminer.bit using namecoin yesterday.

If friedcat provides a namecoin address I'd be happy to transfer it to him (gratis).

[aahzmundus]

how was asicminer.bit not already taken... I need to become a domain squatter!

[romerun]

about the questions TAT compiling to friedcat.

Nobody is interested to know how he came up with the 15BTC fee per block ? Did he say so to increase the value of AM ?

Go take it then 
Any interesting sites in .bit?

Yes, but... 800, 1B each, in 40 minutes? That's roughly $75,000. On USB sticks. In 40 minutes.

I do understand the novelty aspect, but that kind of sales rate sounds a lot more like the way things sell when people expect to make money off of them. And they won't off of these...

Wow fantastic news.  

I can't wait to see ASICMINER's recent sales totals.

Now, just for a moment, imagine that ASICMINER had a top-notch retail website.

Yes, I was surprised too

Have not mapped it to anything yet though & would love to hand it over to friedcat.

Because .bit isn't an ICANN domain name i.e. it doesn't sit in their root servers.

So you need a plug-in to access it.

Not really what you want for a company site ....

Until ICANN, Gets a take down notice and you face terrorism or money laundering charges.

Repeat: .bit has *nothing* to do with ICANN. Completely outside their system. Its just a browser plug-in "domain".

This surprises you? With all the hype surrounding ASICs, these are the only ones actually available right now.

As to your comment about these not making money... that's just like, your opinion man. At the current rate they will earn .25 BTC/month, and even if the difficulty increases by a factor of ten, they will still be making 0.025BTC/month. It's pretty hard to say that they will NEVER make a profit... perhaps a more accurate way of phrasing that is that you don't THINK they will make a profit... or that they won't make a profit as quickly as you'd like.

How about "they don't make a profit in a way that appears more attractive than going to a casino"? 

But, yes... it is my opinion. A lot of people apparently do not share it.

[TsuyokuNaritai]

I sold as well.
Took my profit and now will invest in AMC.

You are now doomed to experience lonely and miserable Wednesdays.

Haha right, we'll see.

Quoted for lulz.
