This batch will be for group-buy and retailers. The quantity of each order should be more than 300 devices. The price is fixed at 1.99 BTC. We will start the group-buy threads as fixed-price auctions in the auction subforum.
Hm... i thought these would be good for people with small wallets. Is it the work included to ship many single units or why it the minimum quantity to order 300 units? I thought the shipping is excluded anyway? If its the auction that would become a problem because of to many bids then maybe some website script could be used to automate this. A min of 300 means probably a couple thousand units to be sold. A person couldnt handle it but an automated script could do.
Of course groupbuyers will start new auctions with their batch and start selling to smaller buyers. Is the missed earning worth the work or isnt their missed earning at all?
Im not sure what to think about.
The internet shipping and the replacement service of retailed sales will take too much portion in the total value of one device. The shipping/support could only be done in batch to be efficient and practical. The retailers/groupbuyers could save a lot of money when the distribution targets are within the same country.
Ok, i guess you thought this trough good enough. Of course wholesale has to work another way. I only thought that, in case you make the buying fully automated and outsource the shipping (while the buyer pays the shippingcost + envelope + the fee for the packer) it shouldnt mean much work. The support will most probably go mostly to asicminer anyway.
But i think it will work out.
great work!
I would prefer a batch without led.
The first few days certainly nice to see. But who needs a disco on usb port

I think it should be easy to kill the led by yourself. Maybe even make it a service as a retailer. When the buyer wants no led you kill it.
Awesome product.
Unfortunately, your price point is, to be blunt, retarded.
What a convincing argument you've made, thanks for your wonderful contribution to this thread
he is right..stop trolling and tell us, why you think that it is good pricing/selling model (300pcs/order) - for end-user device.
Its a business you know? So its very easy? If no one buys the price has to go down. Simply as that. But these claims, that it will be too expensive came up all the time. In reality there always were people that bought for these prices.
I can mine LTC or FC with GPUs... there are also the designed non-cryptocurrency applications.
These doodads, can they mine LTC?
Nope.
If you want to pay 2BTC for something that will cost $25 in a couple of months, that's cool.
Why do you have to mine litecoins? Currently they have an advantage of 33% against bitcoin mining. But freicoin has an advantage of 147% against bitcoin mining. And that is SHA-256. So there are even better alternatives to mine with asics than litecoin.
