Today is 18th June.. and the BTC price is currently $1200
As this time I can see that 500 pre orders have now been filled so there is 600 left..
How much can I get a SP30 for?
It is worth pointing out that if you are concerned about the fluctuation in BTC, Spondoolies has a very creative payment mechanism for you -- though unfortunately not a part of this group buy.
For August deliveries of SP30s (I am not sure which deals this applies to but I know it applies to the 3xSP30) you can choose to pay 40% upfront and 60% in BTC on delivery. Now the really cool trick is that you can choose when you order whether to pay in BTC valued as of your order date, OR to pay in BTC valued as of the shipping date.
So if you think BTC is going to go way up, you elect to pay in BTC valued at the future delivery date rate. Then when BTC is $1200 in August, you pay less BTC versus what you would have paid if you had to pay 100% today.
Or if you are worried about the price dropping, you pay in BTC valued as of the order date. So you get the $450 US current rate even if BTC drops to $200 in August when delivery comes dueThus SP is effectively offering us a hedge against a drop in BTC.

Though I am doing the group buy here, it was SP's creative payment approach with built in hedging that convinced me that these guys are really in it for the miners and are miner customer friendly as opposed to KNC, BFL, etc.
