I would suggest someone else facilitate the group buy if escrow is not an option. Perhaps a party more reputable that offers escrow would be willing to facilitate it for their escrow price. $80k is a pretty large incentive for "misunderstandings" to occur.

Is there a timeline on when you plan to order?  I might be in, but have to talk to some people/get the BTC.

Well the biggest pending we have is for 390BTC let's see if he is committed I'm still waiting on him to confirm in the thread at this point.

Ragingazn628 have you made any progress on setting up escrow or taking payments?  Zefir claims he thinks he has almost enough to make a 2nd order.

Like I said I'm up for an escrow but as someone pointed out I'm not sure how it would work in this situation since I will be ordering from Avalon using the pool's BTC.

I was wondering about that.  It'd be one thing if you had the cheddar to do it yourself, but I assume not...

I guess it will depend on the other group buy contributors to see if they want to send to you directly in lieu of escrow, or the escrow-er would have to make the purchase (which defeats the purpose)

So it comes down to whether or not the group trusts you, or if the buy should be made by a trusted member and you get credit for organizing  Smiley

Does avalon have another batch of 10k chips ready?

Avalon will sell as many 10,000 chip orders as they receive through the end of 2013 from how I read their disclaimer.  The max order of 200,000 chips seems to me to be a max singular order of 200,000 chips - there was no limit to the cart counter like there was on Avalon Batch #3 however.

That being said, that's a scary amount of hashing power that could come online by the end of the year.

I'm still in as well.  Waiting on info for escrow.  Will keep checking board throughout day.

Ragingazn628 should get some kickback from setting this all up.

if you do not have a single clue on what to do with the chip better consider buying a complete set..

yeah this is for engineers or people who knows how to follow the DIY guide and put together a system. I already have a few local guys lined up to tackle this. I will let everyone know the progress and if they would like their chips assembled once they arrived and I have some sort of prototype ready. But that's all in the future just planning ahead for now.

Yes we can use an escrow.

I guess we would have to send our coins to you first so that you then can buy the chips once you have collected all 782.1 bitcoins.
I'm not sure how an escrow could work here, could you give some details on that?

I really have no idea I've never even used an escrow before. I'm just trying to give what the crowd wants. We can use John K just let me know how guys!

Just tell me what you want to do. Again I do have a little past history but it was a misunderstanding. I didn't scam anyone.

I have good feedbacks on Overclock.net as well...

I'm not out there to make people's lives a living hell.

We have past the thresh hold. Let's get this thing pre-ordered by the end of the day! Smiley

Sorry guys I've been busy with RL stuff. Yes we can use an escrow. Yeah the heatware stuff was a misunderstanding. I didn't scam anyone. And as for eBay I just said fuck it and neglected it ;/ - I definitely took my losses though. Lesson learned.

I would be very hesitant to send this person any BTC based on his history on hardforums and elsewhere.
