For the others near my region, don't forget my Asian Group Buy. Good if you want your chips sent to BkkCoins in Thailand.

i want to buy more Chips Smiley . is there some available ?
Not yet, only minor refunds issued (less than 300 chips).

Since in every batch I sold more than initially planned, the returned chips are going first back into a reserve pool. I will announce publicly should that number reach a given threshold over what I intend to reserve for the DIY and my own projects.

Avalon releasing Reference Docs
As announced in his thread, BitSyncom released an initial set of reference docs that can be found on GitHub.


Buy backs and Refunds
I have currently more folks interested in buying more chips than those asking to get them refunded. Therefore I am opening a limited buy-back window for all of you who changed their minds. The current demand is for ~4k more chips, so here is the process how to get your coins back:

  • PM me your refund request with
    • a single CVS formatted line: ; <-N>; <-C>;
      Note:
      • this is the exact same line you bought your chips with, but now with negative number of chips N and negative number of coins C
      • all or nothing - no partial refunds, i.e. if you bough 100 chips with one particular order, you can't get only 60 chips refunded
    • a signature of that line signed with
  • if within demands, I'll refund you for the chips you gave back in full



Next Steps
With the initial set of reference docs provided, the active DIY designers have started to refactor their boards. BitSyncom assured that the docs are going to be completed in the next weeks.

The next relevant step will then be the delivery of sample chips, which should happen somewhere during the next 4 weeks.

Next Steps
After finalizing the batch orders, all further processing steps are depending solely on Avalon's actions and responses.

The rough schedule I am pulling out of thin air looks as follows
  • beginning of May: wait and see <-- we are here
  • second half of May: Avalon releases reference design and documentation
  • end of May: first chip samples get shipped
  • beginning of June: developers finalizing their designs and ordering sample chips
  • mid of June: developers assemble and demo their mining products
  • second half of June: I collect shipping information for the chips ordered
  • beginning of July: first batches produced and shipped to me
  • mid of July: chips get delivered and I start distribution shipments

This is the ideal schedule based on the numbers provided by Avalon. We all know that realistically each step will be delayed by some non-predictable amount of time, so let us sit and wait a while. I will post updates as soon as they are available - no need to explicitly ask for them.



Notice: After Sales Trades / Speculation
Several buyers changed their mind (either realizing they don't want the chips any more or speculating for a quick buck) and approached me to update my data on file to account private trades they did. Please understand that I am not supporting those trades, mainly because I don't want to carry the responsibility for something going wrong or find myself in the middle of disputes.

If you want to trade your chips, the correct way to do this is as follows:
  • find an agreement with the new buyer
  • organize and process escrow
  • when the time has come to supply shipping address, provide that of the new buyer and sign with your original payment address
  • wait for the chips to get delivered and release escrow

Alternatively, since there are still interested buyers asking for chips, I might be able to buy them back from you -- PM me to check if there is demand. This is a limited offer and (as sales are final) I reserve the right to refuse to buy at any time.



Cheers,
zefir

Hmm, i suppose there's no speed difference between this 'batch 7' or another batch '2', since it's just the batch of the person ordering from avalon.  Meaning that it's all down to

* When the order will hit the 700something BTC to be able to go through (the sooner the better)
* Fees
* Shipping costs from Switzerland (or for someone else - wherever else the chips are going)
* Trust in the person doing it

Or did this entire thing just close because it's now May 1st?

Ok, looks like youre right. In my country its summer time. +1 hour on top during the summer. Annoying not only because of the change but because of calculation too. I hope government cancels this soon. Not that its needed anymore in our times...
OT:
If you launch a Volksinitative you can count on my vote.
The problem is that Switzerland was somehow forced into adopting the DST because it's neighbors had it and it was causing difficulties in joint schedules like trains.
I'd guess that's still true.
