My loyal USA customers:

If you've been satisfied with my service thus far and want it to continue, I encourage you to contact ASICMiner and provide them with honest feedback about my business practices so they can make an informed decision regarding a re-seller partnership. It would take you 60 seconds to do just one of the following:

PM friedcat - tell him how your experience with me has been and your honest opinion about me becoming an exclusive US re-seller
Email ASICMiner (asicminer.usb AT gmail.com) and tell them how your experience with me has been and your honest opinion about me becoming an exclusive US re-seller

Please see my OP ... TL:DR - I would love to continue serving you all, but only as an exclusive US re-seller with standard privileges and protections.

Exclusivity is generally a bad thing, no matter who it is.

good evening, These devices are classified as being part of our open source project. Do you have any way of contacting the outfit that is producing this hardware under the bitcoin logo? This for profit use has never been authorized by the foundation and goes against our mission statement...Ira

Bitcoin itself is not exclusively an open source project.
I don't think you represent the Foundation (if you do, you should be fired for making stupid posts like this).
I am relatively sure that neither the Foundation nor anyone you represent hold any trademarks to the BTC symbol.
I don't see any way Bitfountain's consumer devices go against the mission statement of the Foundation.

good evening, Yes, Bitfountain is a large group of developers out of New York City. I'm so happy to be able to share with you what I know. We believe people need to gain a correct understanding of whats really happening here. Bitcoin is an open sourced project. Demands by administrators has fueled the larger part of this recent push. One example is keeping a way for participants and chaotic leaders on universities from corrupting servers. The blockhain networks are the backbone so proof of work protocols are built on armour txt base nodes. I urge you to read Satosjis' CPU paper again. Satoshi he joined up with the iBrunch development and research team several weeks ago...Ira
