I would consider this if Avalon didn't mention possibility of Batch 4...kicking myself for not buying another in Batch 3.

Zephir used all his own money to buy chips, then re-sell with a small markup (which is fair). This thread is a group buy, for people to pool money together to get the needed BTC to buy 10,000+ chips.

His batch is already ordered (and re-sold) , this batch will not order until the necessary funds come together.

Put me down for one bitcoin, please! It's been a while since I made a PCB, but it might be fun to dig out the ol' soldering iron and play around a little...

Yes, my first post out of the newb section! Put me down for 1.5 btc please. I have a degree in computer engineering and experience building PCBs, I can help the design along, or I'll just produce my own. I'm interested in making single or double-chip USB miners.

Will there be escrow for this order?  I might be able to find some additional funds.

There are 240 chips in a regular Avalon, not 230.

3 modules, each made up of 8 submodules, of 10 chips each.

about 230 chips in an Avalon = 65Ghash

780 = 2.82 Thash or 2820Ghash

MOTHER OF GOD!!! lol

Somethings odd with your numbers. 230 chips = 65GH and 780 chips = 2820GH? I think it cant be 230 chips...

With 9-10 weeks lead time for the chips to be made, plus the time to ship, and the time to build a working system from these chips.  You are looking at least 3 months if not longer for a working system.  Batch 3 will be shipped in half the that time and will earn you 40+ bitcoins (assuming 4x increase in difficulty) by the time you gets your homemade avalon asic system running and who knows how much higher the difficulty will be in 3-4 months...  But I am still in for 60 chips (5 BTC) just for the fun of it!  It is not all about making absurd profit..   This is not to say I don't like profit, but I am happy either way for not having to spend/risk too much money.


The value of batch 3 @ 75 BTC for 65 GHash (230 chips) then each 1 chip = 0.28 GHash = 0.33 BTC.

The value of 10,000 chips if priced in an avalon would have cost 3300 BTC = 2800 GHash.  

So a 10,000 chip order for 780 BTC is a steal - about 0.078 BTC/chip.  24% of the batch 3 costs (of course I understand that this doesn't include the remaining costs to build the full miner).

I would only be interested in a group buy if I didn't have to build the unit myself.  If someone planned on building/maintaining a rig, I would buy some shares.  I like the cost value, but I know I could never build a working miner from the chips.

You guys are using escrow to hold these funds, right?
