Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It
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).
So, should that be considered a binding offer?
Anyway, I think there are more than enough people willing to pay that price. (Even though there are apparently many people also not willing to pay that price.)
Well the only other off the shelf ready to go equipment is a GPU. So $150 for a GPU or $200 for an ASIC.
Also you can hope BFL ships in the next 6 months, or go make your own ASIC...
I'm sure people are sad they are not being sold at less than market price but meh. We should just mine with them if no one wants to pay a fair price.
Thanks.
I don't know guys... 1.99 per piece seems like too much to me. If it were auction, than I would understand, but fixed price... I don't see the demand for 10 000 usb miner at 1.99 BTC
agreed. as i posted in my group buy thread:
minimum order of 300 x 1.99 btc = 597 btc exactly. ...wow. that's insane, when you realize avalon sells 10,000 chips (33 times more chips, but bare chips) for 780 btc.
i mean, that's what, .078 btc a chip? and then you have burnin offering 10 chip board for approx 80 euro, and 20 chip boards for approx 100 euro (plus chip cost of course) that's approximately 5 ghash for under 200 USD, if my math is right.
Yes, but these are real products, made and ready to ship. I can use one of these right away. What would I do with a avalon chip? it would take me 10 years to figure out how to do anything.
I agree totally with Goat here. 10,000 will sell for 1.9 BTC as fast as we can ship them. I'm sure everyone wishes they were $50 so they could make a huge profit right away, but that would make no sense for ASICMINER, and it's not how markets work. Those who think they are overpriced can stick to GPU mining or throw more money at BFL and hope they get something before the 21 millionth coin is mined.
