I am also interested in buying shares from people of the group... With so many candidates (despite BFL announcing they will ship next week (lol)), I guess we won't ever need to let outsiders get in

Same thing, you can PM me or we can set up some kind of collective arrangement for attribution of the "abandoned" shares, as members of the group wish.
Yea... I'm not worried about BFL yet. All they said is that they MIGHT ship next week. You have to take everything BFL says with a grain of salt.
When they show pictures/videos of actual devices hashing then I will believe they are shipping soon... I'm not talking about some prototype they wired up like Frankenstein either, actual devices that they will ship to actual customers customers in their fancy wannabe Apple cases.
