Topic: [Closed]Avalon Chips - 0.081 BTC (Global+Escrow)-BATCH2 SECURED - page 50. (Read 100377 times)

Hey
Order confirmed! Thanks. I guess i won't have a choice but to roll over the chips till the next batch. However, if i will have some spare chips, i'll create a full miner for you and send it your way (or hold them in hosting, whichever you choose).

1st thread updated with the current, Second batch orders.

What's important is the K16, the 16 chip design, because it will be daisy-chained together with other 1-3 boards to get to the 32 / 64 chip miner. The nice thing is, that if you connect them through the special connector, you will use only one USB port.

Are you planning to make 32 chip ones? Or 64 maybe?
Is the PSU included in the price?


I hope you are going to receive -> build -> ship also, i don't know if electricity in romania is so cheaper than somewhere else, talking about ASICs. Maybe i can send you my GPU, that would be nice

You are very generous, however you should be rewarded. I ordered 40 chips thinking we may do the 20 chip boards, however my gut tells me we will be doing the 16 chip boards so I will have 8 over.

I have just added another 8 to the second batch (to make 16) so if were going for 16 chip boards please feel free to roll over 8 chips from first batch to second and use them for yourself until the second batch comes in.

Just wondering, were we every able to get a quote on a 32 chip miner? Or a 64 chip miner?

Read my mind. Yes, of course

@OP:

Small nagging request: could you please put the thread updates newest on top (i.e. reverse chronological order) so the freshest news are seen first.

Thx

Szia, Hydra!

I'll be using english so everybody can understand, as I have a few concerns I'd like to share with everybody to ensure everything goes alright.

 I have been watching the group buy from the corner of my shadowy man-cave and I would like to congratulate you on your work, and want to let you know that you have my full support, since we speak the same language, and live close to each other. Hopefully we can meet soon enough back in Romania and have that beer we were talking about ! .

Firstly, and excuse me if I missed it reading up on the group buy, but can you offer us invoices?

Secondly, Can you offer us a secure way of shipping the chips? i.e an insured shipment in case of damages, or lost packages( I realize that the chances are slim, but still)

Thirdly, I must admit, I have a sick mind, but this is a business and I need to protect my(others) investments.

Have you considered hiring personal guards while picking up the chips? I'm sure everybody including me would be happy to chip in for extra security measures to make sure everything goes smoothly. I know this might sound absurd and I am indeed a bit paranoid but this is a legitimate risk that we need to take into consideration. With a bit of googling I can easily identify you. And if I can do it, I'm sure somebody else can too.(I think you know where this can go...) This brings up security problems. Somebody could easily rob the chips from you in a matter of seconds the day you go and pick them up from customs or post office. And to be honest, I haven't seen anybody complaining about this...maybe because the escrow service covers it?? I honestly don't know and would like to be enlightened about this matter. I don't know how heavy the chips are, but I've estimated a maximum of maybe 5 grams each, thats about 50 kilograms in total + packaging for all the chips. Not a heavy lift for 100k.

I'm planning on getting a decent amount of chips in this second batch, I will be back with an order sometime this week hopefully

Best of luck and keep up the good work!

Confirmed, marto74!

News!
2013-05-23:
- Batch number one Ordered:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4EbABa_SLVRekVtU3k1d2NPazg/edit?usp=sharing
- Batch number two Open. If we move well, we will have the chips in hand by the end of August. I will try to aquire as much funding as i can, to finish the order quick!
- I have a final price of 85 Eur for the Klondike16, 16 chip miner. I still have to get quotation for the heatsinks and fans, but the final price covers all.
- The chips cost 0.083: Why? a:) There is a lot of work managing the order. Also there is responsibility. You can't joke with people's money. I'm putting my unslept hours during the night into all this and i want to make sure you get the device you have paid for. I'm here for the long-run. Also, my identity has been confirmed by John. No funny business, no inexistent addresses.
- I'm opening up the idea of "Hosting". No need to send several kilograms across the globe. You will have the opportunity to leave the miner here in Romania, using cheap electricity, being up 99% and being able to control the miner remotely. I will have a chilled environment, secure location, with two internet providers (one for backup) and dedicated support person in case of any emergency. I'll also post some pictures of the place soon.

Yes, may be... I don't know, but i have a huch that BFL is hashing away on our devices right now. It's called "testing the device" ....
There's no way they could be THIS late for all our orders, but anyway.. i'll stick to my plan: chips, then boards, then we'll see. Maybe a security fund

PS: This is for the 2nd batch of group buy OP requested for.

Thanks for the very kind gesture, but now I feel really bad taking your own personal chips given all the time and effort you've put into organising this.

As we discussed in PM, when I ordered I checked the blockchain and the most recent posts saw it was about 200 short and thought I would buy in to get it over the line, I was trying to help and ended up making it worse.

If you change your mind and want them back at any time no need to ask, just send the btc and they are yours again.

Refunds and all fees paid out.

Now to hope they ship out soon. 

What a great move, respect for that!

Thank you all for your time, efforts and orders.

For the sake of being fair, i will give up my orders for the two persons, who happened to order a bit late:
CryptoMaster and Tigggger, both of you have got a place in this batch. i've give a long thought to this and i have decided that i will have my own chips anyway, with a later batch, eventually.

Welcome aboard this batch. I'll update the main post too, as soon as i get to my laptop.

Best regards to all and see you in a few hours for the second batch! Got to go feed my son...

Order #10317 made on May 22, 2013. Order status: processing.

From Avalon's own system, processing means that they've confirmed the receipt of the coins, and the order is officially done. 

wow... 100k $ on the way
