Topic: Avalon ASIC CHIPS Groupbuy AUSTRALIA - page 2. (Read 3967 times)
I was just about to place an order in steamboat's group buy, as he will also build the miner. Having a local (Australia) group buy is a good idea though.
I am interested in Avalon Asic groupbuy in sydney Australia. Are you still keen JollyGood? 
How many do you think you could buy from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-avalon-chips-0082btc-k16-miner-assembly-60eur-200067 to keep the order to under AU$1K and avoid the 10% tax (assuming you're also getting the assembly)?
Er .. I'd be interested, but bitstamp has no useful info about it 
LMAO I fixed it mate. That was stupid because I posted off the iPhone and you know how big the screen is hahaha

Hey fellow aussies.
I found a group buy and I'm ordering 160 chips which will cost me around $2,500 build and ready for mining (45ghs). I'm from Sydney as well, the group buy URL is https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-avalon-chips-0082btc-k16-miner-assembly-60eur-200067
PM me if you're still interested.

I'll commit to 100 chips for now, will probably up my order once I have a more solid idea of the fiat costs in making these usable.
Hi ausbitbank. Unfortunately after 24 hours I'm going to declare that interest has been too small for me to continue gathering interest for a group buy. It may seem like 24 hours is too short a time but speed is of the essence here, and I'd rather that other bitcoiners find a place in other group buys, even if it's international.
It'll be interesting to see what the hashrate difficulty is by August when the ASICS finally flood the market vs the price of bitcoin. Regardless of which the network looks like it's strengthening against a 51% attack from all the interest I've read on these forums.
Good luck guys and I wish you all the wealth and happiness as we enter the new age of a global economy and the true start to a class one civilisation!
All the best
JollyGood!
Hi guys,
Well, ... I have a Group Buy. My country isn't that far from Australia. Maybe we can consolidate there. Together, hopefully we get to 10,000 chips fast.

JollyGood! jolly bad, I've already spent most of my BTC on zefir's Batch 5, 200 chips. So I won't be pledging any BTC to this Group buy. Maybe in the future when DIY boards comes to fruition.
Be glad to collaborate to get the chips working tho. Are you an EE? I'm not, but I work with a bunch of EEs and S/w dev. who said they would give me a hand. Unfortunately they are not into Bitcoins, yet. I'll be following the Open Source DIY project closely. Was that your plan on development? Or do you have a development team?
QG
PS: BTW, I'm in Sydney.

Hi QuiveringGibbage. I looked at Zefir's group buy as well. Customs and duty into Europe then Customs and duty into Australia. I liked though that Burinin was "just down the road" in Germany and might be able to make the boards.
I'm not an EE, but I work for a large Consumer Electronic company here in AUS but all our stuff is manufactured in China. I would want the boards manufactured here due to time and quality control.
Lets see what the interest here is on the chips. Most people seem to want escrow and I really wanted to meet people and make something more formalized...taking TRUST out of the equation and going for something a bit more solid. Saying that the future is Bitcoin and we have a window of opportunity. If we order a batch here we will get 8 advanced chips from avalon to start developing the boards in May. Lets see where we are with interest this time tommorrow.
How far along is this? Any pledges yet? Time is of the essence. If you are further along than [Group Buy #2], then I'll tag along with you instead.
The pledges are the ones you see here. I'm just sounding out the idea to see if there is enough interest. I agree though, time is of the essence.

QLDer here. I'm interested. Escrow a must for sure.
Count me in for whatever needs to be done. I've ordered 20 from Switzerland already, but we need a big local buy and some people organising PCB's and DIY Kits etc.
I'm not sure what JohnK needs down for a security deposit yet, but I'm looking for about 2k chips myself.
That amount would be decided by your participants I guess.
