You are welcome... talk to BigBen... he can help you out.
Bicknellski, Thank You for your quick reply 
I'm interested
I'm interested Will the K1 Nano have a Avalon ASIC chip on it or will we have to provide the chip? If we do provide the chip how much will you sell a K1 Nano for?
These units will be complete.
Heat Sink
Flashed PIC
Avalon Chip
Casing with Big Picture Mining Cooperative logo
24 hour burn in test and QC testing
You will receive a full functional miner ready to go from the fabricator.

Any link or where to download the cgminer for these?
Not sure. I believe it's discussed in BKKCoin's thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/klondike-16-chip-asic-open-source-board-preliminary-190731
We will be using CGminer developed by BKKCoins for the Klondike as mentioned in the GitHub for burn in and testing. As more of the community gets these in hand I suspect that other mining software will be available as well. Remember throw some BTC to Kano and Cklovas for their support of the CGminer. Note that Kano has helped a great deal with guidance and support to BKKCoins while he was working on the software. Make sure if you use CGminer to also support him with some coins as he deserves as much support as BKKCoins for this project. I suspect further improvements will be coming depending on volume of K1s and K16s out in the wild from people wanting to optimize and further OC the units.
I was under the impression I could pay with USD since that is what prices were in. Unfortunately you will have to remove my order since I don't have any btc to spend.
OP updated; this is a BITCOIN ONLY group buy. I don't have the funds to absorb a chargeback from Paypal. I'm still trying to figure out how to mitigate risk. John K has done a bunch of escrows, so hopefully he has some experience. Suggestions are welcome.

Hmm how gard is it to get these setup. With all the guides out it was pretty easy with cgminer for the USB eruptors
Evidently BKKCoins has a version of CGMiner that works with these. I'd bet when they get released into the wild the other mining programs will release revisions to make them compatible. They're supposed to be plug and play.

So shipping prices on Bicknellski's page have changed.
Here's a breakdown of costs:
For 1-4 miners, looks like the group buy is worth it. After that it's a toss up. For $2.40 I'd probably get it shipped directly to me. Let me know.
Here's a breakdown of costs:

I'll just order directly from them. Please remove me from this GB.
At current prices, it's cheaper to buy 6 directly and pay shipping ($328.99) than it is to buy through this GB ($331.42).

So it is. Removed.

OP Updated. Prices modified downward.
All; please watch the OP for updates. They will occur below the OP, in chronological order, marked by date and post number. Post number will reset every day, and every day will be delimited with a horizontal rule. In addition, from this point forward (for those using bitcointalk's watch thread feature), I will reply with a new post every time OP is updated.
In for 1. When is payment due?
Will notify; still working escrow and shipping out with John K and Bicknellski, respectively.

At least 4 for me 
Maybe more if we have another week to send BTC 
Maybe more if we have another week to send BTC I think we've got a week; Bicknellski doesn't have chips in hand yet.
I will let you know guys as soon as chips hit our shores and personally take them in hand to Batam from Jakarta. Fingers crossed these chips start landing soon not just for our K1 production but for every DIY builder out there. We need the CHIPS AVALON we need those chips ASAP.
Thanks Bicknellski; I appreciate the personal attention. Definitely bodes well for confidence levels.
Put me down for 5, but I need to have priority shipping (neighborhood sucks, they actually knock for priority boxes).
