Topic: [Closed]Avalon Chips - 0.081 BTC (Global+Escrow)-BATCH2 SECURED - page 44. (Read 100390 times)

Yes I really need Steve to tell me to order boards on his website, apparently clear communication is not something you are familiar with.  So I will re-iterate the point.  As it's was not clearly states in the OP or on the website at that time that any order would be adding to this group buy.  I asked.  reason? because the clearer the processes is, the more likely the people who are not sure about ordering might be convinced to order with Steve.  Fortunately Steve understands that which is why he made the clear and simple statement on his op for the website. That any orders placed there will add to this group by.

Hi,
1. Unfortunately the prices refer to eighter a batch of 100 or 1000 pieces. Making a price for 10 pieces from a batch of 100 takes away very little incentive. Making a price for 10 pieces straight from the manufacturer boosts the price up to 150-200 eur.
You could group with other people and order 50 pieces straight from my website. You get 20% off by ordering 50 pieces. Also, it would make sure we hit the 100 pieces target faster, so i can secure the funds for that (at least, if not for a 1000 pieces order).
2. The shipping does ot cover insurance as it will cost a lot more (+ $150). I will make a shipping option WITH insurance also, so you can choose exactly how you wish to receive your miner. I have spoken only to DHL for now, but i need quotations from FedEx and TNT too. There's also the option to keep them in hosting service. You can start earning coins as soon as the facory delivers the goods, i mean on the same day for a fee of 10% out of the miner's power. No additional costs exist here, the 10% covers all from electricity to employees.

Steve

Good morning Steve,
Got two questions.

1) Could you make a price for 10x Boards aswell?
2) Is the International Shipping price comprehensive of an insurance on possible damage/package lost?

Everyone, 5.184 BTC popped up in the escrow address. Who has sent it? No PM, no reply to the topic..

Calm down guys Come on, it's Friday
Yes, the orders from the site are officially open. I've opened another thread with this, but it was 3 am last night and i have't had time to copy the news here too. Anyway, here it is:

>>---------------------------------------->>
Hello everyone,
I'm creating this thread to announce the GoLive of my website, www.AlphaHPC.com. The site was created in an effort to make ordering Avalon Chips and Klondike / Avalon miners easy. Also, it's a good way to keep everyone updated though the newsletter (don't forget to sign up). I've already finished a batch of 10k Avalon chips and have opened anpother one. I'm using John K.'s escrow service to hold the funds for the Avalon chips.

SO! What do we have now? -->
 - Website working
 - Payment gateway working
 - Ordering / notifications / customer communication working
 - Automatic status change based on payment (after n confirmations)
 - Newsletter for major updates
 - Blog for minor updates
 - Hope you like the visuals

About the Hardware:
 - Klondike16 prototype, barebone PCB ordered (lead time is about 2 weeks)
 - A good, firm price offer from the factory for 100 pieces of K16. Tomorrow i'll ask for a price on 1000 pieces. I bet we can shrink the miner prices that way.
 - Place and manpower to setup the hosting service for the persons interested in this. The hosting fee will be 10% and will cover everything, meaning no additional fees above that.

What we don't have: some clarification on the main Avalon reference boards. Some parts don't have parameters. Help is on it's way, so we need a few more days to sort the bill of materials out and then we can ask for a quotation on the main Avalon boards also.

That being said, i'm opening the order window for the Klondike boards. Go to www.AlphaHPC.com, create an account and configure yourself a miner.
- The Avalon chips ordered from the site will be part of the Group-Buy already open here. Hopefully it will fill up faster.
- The Klondike boards and all necessary parts will be ordered after we (and BkkCoins) have successfully tested a prototype Klondike miner with the sample chips from Avalon. If there is demand for 1000 Klondike boards, i will have a stunning street price for them, if not, the price for each board will stay at around 0.7 - 0.85 BTC.

For everything else i have forgotten in this topic, please ask.
My main contact e-mail address is [email protected].

I ordered chips in first batch here, and once I read this announcement (The website is ready for orders!) from OP, I also ordered and paid boards and linked it via signed message with chips. All is clear and support from ordering webpage communicate really fast. As I already mentioned, my order is now in processing status.

what is your problem? you need to receive PM from Steve, that you should order boards on his web or what?.)

As someone who has a very vested interest in this Group buy going through, I have read every word in this thread, probably a few times over.  An no where does Steve clearly state that orders for boards with chips on his website adds to this Group buy.  He can be selling chips that he would have ordered in the first batch he submitted.  He does mention that he has opened his website and that this might help move this group buy along, but again, it's not clear that purchases from the site actually add to this batch.

So thanks for your comments, and helping to keeping this OP alive, but asking someone if they are blind for asking a question doesn't really help anyone.  The more information available and the clearer the message on this op, the more people may want to make purchases here.  But if that have to worry about being slammed for asking questions, they might think twice.

this is some kind of bump or you are just blind?.) pls read OP.

Hey Steve

The website is looking good, is it officially open now?  meaning if someone places an order there for board and chips, will it automatically add to this Group buy?

I'll buy Bitcoins this week and order

No, Thank You!

ha 5x Klondike16 Board + Assembly paid by BTC. order is in processing now. thanks.)

Thank you

Bump.  just to keep this Group buy in every ones focus

The Law of Attraction is good book, but there's something better it is not like a other books - manual for life, but You just take what You know, and connect it with this mirror of Yourself http://www.psi-book.com/the-book

STOP WORRYING, PEOPLE START ATTRACTING GOOD THINGS BY THINKING POSITIVE. If you worry and are afraid, shit WILL happen, because you attract it. General Law of Attraction.

Very interested. Need to do a little more research, but John K escrow seals the deal really. I'll order some either tonight or the weekend.

Bit worried about not hitting the order target though :-/

Hi,
Yes, your calculations are ok, but consider sending only BTC, no fiat money. A PCB costs 0.85 BTC (quantities in 50 and 100 have reduced costs - more offers coming in the separate thread)

1. Approximate date of delivery is the beginning of September (+- 1 week)
2. Date to pay for miners: you can do it now. At least for the chips, you can pay in the escrow address given in the first post. For the miners, you can send payment to the cold address 1FhKsXT3M1kyhfiUg3iXnf4VGubt13awPx. Please find the address, if you wish. I already have some (17) BTC in the address, because someone already ordered PCBs from me.
3. Yes, you could personally pick-up the miners. I'm from Cluj Napoca. I'll give you exact address and phone number via PM a bit later.

Best regards,
Steve

My order will be:
1.Number of chips: 160 x .083 = 13.28 BTC
2.Fully assembled, tested, ready for use Klondike16, 16 chip miner: 10 x 85 = 850 Eur
Is this OK ?

Questions:
1.Approximate date of delivery
2.Date to pay for miners
3.Since I'm from Serbia could I personally take the product to eliminate the problems with customs (in which town in Romania).

P.S.
I want to buy only fully assembled, tested and ready for use units
