Topic: [CLOSED] Avalon ASIC chip distribution - page 33. (Read 220163 times)

Thanks again, so are you going to confirm our orders for the 8th batch in a post or we are just assume you already logged the transaction?

OK，I dug around and saw this, so better share to everyone else that its unlikely zefir will let us just pickup refunded chips.

I'll take them all (100)!

Update: Limited Board Completion Order Window

Finally, good news from Avalon : they found some time to look into my tickets and resolved the issue I had with my cancelled 8th batch. They activated it again and it shows up with 'Chips ordered' with 1st of May as order date. Thanks to Avalon support taking so much uncertainty off my shoulders.

With that, I am now able to follow the numerous requests from people asking for some more chips to allow them to complete assembly of mining boards that otherwise would only be partially populated with chips.

As seen in the auction threads, with the removal of doubts on Avalon's ability to deliver, the chips are already traded over 0.1BTC each. I am not going to profit from this development and keep the original price of 0.086. But I am adding the following terms to ensure that the opportunity is taken for what it was intended (i.e. complete boards) and not for short term profit making:

Terms

• orders are for the 8th batch of chips, which might get delivered up to 2 weeks after the 1st
• limited volume: 3500 chips
• you can only order if you already bought from me
• the maximum number of chips you might order is
  
  • 50% of the chips you already ordered
  • but not more than 50 chips
• only one additional order per user

I believe this is the best way to prevent speculative orders and to favor smaller miners.

The order process remains as introduced in the OP, namely:

• select your number of chips N (not bound to multiples of 10 this time), max. as given above
• send the total amount (C = N * 0.086) to 162HWpt9njiDsk5nwGixw7fDPuNy55Kh9X
• send only from an address you can sign with (no MtGox, Pool, other services)
• ideally, send from the address you paid your previous orders, so your payment will be automatically assigned to you
• if your wallet does not allow to select sending address
  
  • select one address that was used as input from your payment
  • announce it via PM or thread with a single CSV formatted line: ;;;

This order window will close within a week, more precisely on 2013-06-29T18:00Z (next Saturday, 18:00 UTC). It will end prematurely when the 3500 chips are sold, you can check at any time for remaining chips yourself by ensuring the final balance on that address is below 301 BTC.

Please take care to comply with the terms and process introduced. I spent countless sleepless nights fixing invalid orders or answering the always same questions with the initial order processing. The mechanisms are really quite simple and need to be understood by anyone who seriously operates in the Bitcoin world (like what does it mean to be able to sign with an address).
