The Block Erupter USB sticks passed all the tests and we are about to produce them in quantity.
"In quantity". I like those words.
Very many ideas thrown around here for the auction of these (possibly good, but experimental and possibly confusing to customers).
So let me throw in an idea too: fixed price 2 BTC, first come first served! Much more manageable, affordable and relatable. And a price/hash a little above what the Blades have been getting.
Works for me, I'm first in line and I will buy them all (to auction later).
what about blind auctions with a minium price?
2,000 Bitcoins have been reserved for the re-investment:
1. Deposits for the long-term pre-order of hard-to-get ICs.
2. Costs of mass production of Block Erupter USB sticks.
@friedcat,
Please re-consider your auctioning off the usb sticks, I will definitely by some, however I am like many others here are late to the game as far as bitcoin is concerned and would prefer to pay with conventional means.
By selling them off at a flat rate you will have a much larger user base, which is good for the BTC economy.
just my 2 cents
What about a set price and the ability for all shareholders to buy one, just one, so those of us without hundreds of BTC can actually get and hold an actual piece of AM? And after say a week and all shareholders have had the ability to buy one at say cost, or just over cost the auction goes hog wild. I have all my BTC invested... I don't wanna sell my shares of anything just to buy one but I really want one.. as a shareholder shouldn't we be able to have a small slice of the pie. I am not asking for a handout, Those usb things are just a genius idea and I would love to have one!
