I'm interested in the 2nd batch
regards from Gemany (Bavaria)

Looks like 807 btc paid right now.

First batch 860 * 5500/10000 = 473 saleable.

807 - 473 = 334 left over for 2nd batch.

334 / 860 = 2nd batch already 39% committed.

Thanks for all the fish and your coins.

Aaaand...they're (almost) gone.

No seriously, it went faster than expected: We have the coins ready for the second batch, but unfortunately there is some bug in the order script (which BTW seems to have been replaced by direct BTC payments instead of BitPay).

When I try to pay, I get the following error:

ERROR: cannot generate bitcoin address for the order. Host reply: 'Error Http Notifications Are Currently Disabled '


Already reported to BitSyncom, but since we are in different timezones, I might need to wait until tomorrow for order.

But what is more important for you: 10k more chips available for the masses

While blockchain blockchain.info is down you can check the transactions for this at:

Pre-Update

Folks,

back from day-work I find my inbox flooded, but sadly with mostly the same issues that are clarified in the OP. I don't really get if you are too lazy to just read it, or if my English is really that bad

I understand there are quite some newbies ordering (with sub-five total posts), and I am wondering if everybody really understands what he is doing. If you do not know what a private key to an address is or whether you control an address, mining ASICs might not be what you are looking for. I really don't want to be rude, but to openly warn that to prevent tears afterwards you need to know exactly what you are doing here. Note that your orders are binding, i.e. if you later decide you don't need the chips, I can't refund you.

A type of things asked over and over again are

• everything fine with my order?
• can you confirm the address I should sent to
• can you confirm my payment

Maybe it is still not clear what the beauty of having a common address is, so once again: the address itself contains the proof that your order was successful. Once you see your payment accounted there, there is no way for me to deny that you paid what you ordered - given you can sign with the address you sent from. That's why it is vital to send from your own address. If you have your coins at MtGox, you need to send them to your wallet first and then forward to me.

This is why I will not confirm your payment. It is up to you to check that it arrived and then post your order in the thread or via PM. There is no need to ask for confirmation or whether everything went fine - everything is in your hands. So please use your power.


The other type of questions are

• I want to buy ready to use boards, please help!
• I want to contribute to the development

Please follow the related DIY thread, I promise you'll find everything you need there. I understand it is active and therefore long, but I am serious: that is where you want to look into.


Please accept that I have no time to respond to to those PMs or posts any more. If you feel your request is not covered by the OP, I'm open to check and add further explanations, but since so many already ordered without a single question, I guess it should be good enough.



Other issues I skimmed catching up the tread:

See above. It goes the other way around: you send the coins and confirm yourself that your payment went through.


I am trying hard, but Avalon is not as responsive as I am (and I slowly get an idea why )


4500 chips are reserved for /me and the projects that will make their designs open source. That's like I am funding the motivation bounty that otherwise would have to be collected from all of us.
(counter question: why do so many mis-spell my nick the same way?)


That's what Avalon is doing and after my experiences getting some batch 2 units I believe managing it manually so far is the better approach.


Your advantage ordering here is that my order was already posted, while the group buy folks need to collect the coins first. Now that the order of my 2nd batch will happen maybe at the same time as the others, I encourage everyone to consider joining them.



Exactly this, thanks for clarifying. Since blockchain.info is still down, I have to wait for verification, but my impression is that there are almost enough coins in there for a second batch. I will post an order today or tomorrow, stay tuned.



Thats so far, an updated order status will follow as soon as I verify. Sorry if I missed something relevant that disappeared in the noise.

any details on a second batch order?

If you you want ready made mining boards:
Order the chips now.

I will start taking board orders after Avalon opens up their specs in early May.
If you order from me your chips will be directly shipped to me.
Sending chips back and forth would significantly delay proceedings.

awesome .... go go go go!

The first batch is sold out but you can send money. Once enough money is collected for a new buy it will be done.

hi zefir .
Can I add more chip?.did this  car full?

; <10>; <0.86>;

In a few hours I will send the BTC. Please, notify me by email if is all OK. Thx

; <10>; <0.86>; <17EGdqGPUhmuofSXyGiu1PRSfLY4rXPTP5>

My order was for 700 - so by my estimation we're already about 20% of the way to filling batch 2.

You send btc to address and notify with info as above. Read the OP back on page 1.

how do we get into round#2 if round#1 is sold out?

I'm in.

Thanks for you effort.

What I recall zefir saying is he plans to order more as long as more orders come in up until the cut-off date May 1st. If a partial batch is left unfilled then he'll return funds.

But if everyone waits for others to order and doesn't pay theirs then he won't know that another batch can be done. I don't believe he's interested in keep tallies of everyone's maybe, possibly positions. He's going to watch when the address balance reaches the right value and then order. If no one commits, no order happens.

I hoped I was in "reserved" part few hours ago as I posted earlier yesterday I'm in for 100 chips when I get info from burnin about final product as I can do heck all with chips on my own, guess I was wrong

Have to see how long 2nd batch orders would need to fill now..

Agreed. I'm quite sure that the next 10K badge will take much longer to fill up. On the other hand, without an escrow it's pretty risky to hand out 782 btc to anyone(in this case, a fresh college graduate(!) without any prevous succesful group buy campaign), no offense, but maybe zefir is more established for this.
