Group buy detailsChipsChips are 28 mBTC each, with a minimum order size of 10 chips. The amount of Bitcoin required to cover the shipping cost is based on the "Shipping" table below and the current "sell" rate on Coinbase. Calculate what you owe in bitcoin for the chips and for shipping, and send your payments to 1LZPtQvZejprmQUovDc7CGENm2cKCftyRX. Once you have sent payment, PM me or email me at
[email protected] with the number of chips you ordered, the transaction ID for the payment, your forum screen name, your first and last name, the mailing address you want your chips shipped to, and your email address
Send your payment from a wallet you control and can sign messages with. DO NOT SEND FROM A WEB WALLET. In the event there is a dispute over who owns a particular transaction, you will have to sign a message to prove ownership of the sending address. Also, refunds will be sent back to the address the funds were sent from, which can cause bitcoin to be completely lost if they were sent from a web wallet. If you send from a web wallet and then lose your bitcoin because your refund gets sent back to an address the web wallet doesn't associate with your account, you will have no recourse save to try to work things out with the web wallet. I will not be able to help you, and you should have read this and followed directions anyway.
Miners (tentative)If we can get at least 20 2nd generation K16s ordered, we'll go ahead with that as well. Cost of components and assembly for each K16 at a total of 20 miners is $218 apiece. The price will go down if we can get more orders, since about half of that price will go to pay for JohnK to design the new PCB and to cover the cost of new components. If you're already a Stumptown Miners customer and you haven't requested a refund, your cost will be $110 per miner. Again, that price will go down with the number of orders we can get above 20, since the cost of redesigning the PCB for the new chips is fixed. Please use the Coinbase "sell" rate to figure what that comes out to in BTC.
Buyer ProtectionJohnK still has my identity information, and will likely be willing to do another identity escrow like he did for the first Stumptown Miners batch. I've PMed him and will let you know when he gets back to me. In the meantime, you'll just have to take my word that I will refund any funds I receive if the group buy is not successful.
However, if the group buy is successful, the chips will be ordered and refunds will no longer be an option.

How to Purchase ChipsCalculate the total BTC you owe by multiplying the number of chips you want by 0.028, and then calculate shipping cost based on the shipping provider you want (see the table below) and the current "sell" rate on Coinbase. Send that amount to

Send your payment from a wallet you control and can sign messages with. DO NOT SEND FROM A WEB WALLET. In the event there is a dispute over who owns a particular transaction, you will have to sign a message to prove ownership of the sending address.

ShippingShipping costs will vary depending on your stated preferences, but by default I will be using USPS flat rate Priority Mail shipping. If you are not in the US or want me to use a different shipping provider, please specify your preferred shipping provider in your initial message to me.
