Topic: [CLOSE] Avalon ASIC group buying - page 2. (Read 3151 times)

So let me see if I get this:
I send you 0.1BTC. 11 other people do the same, and the pool gets 1.2BTC. Then the pool orders 12 units. All 12 people place their BTC for purchasing the units in escrow, and then the escrow pays for the units (to ngzhang). Where do the 12 Avalons get shipped to? Who mines with them? Do I get my 1 unit mailed to me? If so, what's the point? If not, why would I want to do this?

Again, sorry if I'm really slow today, but I'm just not getting it. :/

Wouldn't a pooled escrow make more sense?

You will need to send your BTC address which you used to send 0.2BTC for confirm your orders after you sent them. Otherwise I might be difficult to identify which one is your orders.

Im not really following either....

So I send you 0.2BTC, which means I want the group to buy 2 Avalons for me. But then who actually pays for them? I'm assuming me? If so, what's the point?

Exactly!

I don't understand (havn't had my coffee today). So for every 0.1BTC I send, means the group is buying 1 Avalon?

Summary:

To simply group buying for more than 10 units total as goals. Based on the voting results to decide the carry out.


Vote:

If you are sure you want to participate in the group buying please send 0.1BTC (every 0.1BTC = 1 unit. Example: If you want to buy 2 units then deposited 0.2BTC) into the address, and please PM your payment address for verify and statistics:
