I admire your enthusiasm, but I think you're a leetle bit optimistic about the blades. friedcat said 278 blades sold total, so that's 60 from the first 2 auctions, and 218 from the 3rd auction plus a week and a bit since. It could be that many people who wanted a blade have one now. I think less than 50 by next week is probably more likely. USB, hard to say?

I presume from friedcat's comment about choosing a design for the 65nm chip that will allow it to be put on a USB stick that the amount of interest in it is great and Bitfountain have high expectations for the product. I mean, it almost sounds like he considers USB sales in the long term to be rivaling blades in importance. Wow.
