even if I got these this weekend, my two K16 would take 50 days to break even
if it goes another month, probably be around 80 days or more.
I feel for you guys with the big orders, this is ugly

I don't usually reveal PMs, but this is a peculiar scenario.
I got an offer from prodigits7 (supposedly raginazn's business partner) for my chips. 12 BTC through escrow contingent on raginazn delivering or not. It seems even his "business colleague" (still not convinced that isn't a sock puppet) thinks there's a chance raginazn is going to scam us. I just thought it was kind of fishy and wanted everyone to know about it....
This just gets worse and worse...
I think it is time for JohnK to attempt to re-rout the chips to a more trusted person (I do not want to do it btw- too busy). He should probably look into rerouting ragin's other group buy's KNC orders as well. This still stinks like scam.

I was under the impression that the decision to reroute the chips to ryepdx was made a couple weeks ago (by clear popular opinion) and John had already submitted a support ticket to Avalon to do just that. The point of the escrow was to arbitrate situations like this one.
John - can you comment?

Zefir ordered that batch on 4/18 and I believe this batch was ordered on 4/27. Hopefully we have some good news incoming soon.

Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that all 10k chips were stuck in customs.
On that note, I'm taking offers for my 179 chips.
Buy it now price is 12 BTC (I paid 14.34+ BTC)
You can even take ownership of the 0.06197 BTC I overpaid.

Please don't send me any offers via escrow contingent on raginazn delivering the chips or not.
My point of selling is to wash my hands of this group buy, all risk will be transferred to the buyer. If I still have to risk raginazn delivering or not in the sale of the chips, then there is no point in me selling my chips for a lot less than what I bought them for. I would rather just take the risk myself and receive the chips when/if that happens.
On that note, I'm lowering my buy it now offer to 11.5 BTC
August 22, 2013, 12:19:15 PM
just a FYI - I am pulling my above offer since there were a few that backed out, so I mineaswell just stick it through

Thank you again for the 10K clarification JohnK.
I talked to Gary yesterday about the status on the sample chips and he said they met with US Customs yesterday and expect a resolution by the end of the week.So I will follow up with him on Friday.
I'll keep you guys posted.

Bear in mind I think some people received their chips without it being reflected in shipping info (if I'm remembering correctly). They just showed up unexpected, apparently.
Yep, that's true. That occurred with the sample chips for the last few orders I had. The shipping info was updated about 2-3 days later.

Note that the 10k chips itself are not sent yet.
SS of my order page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262371.msg2983646#msg2983646
Ragingazn's current order is not in the SS (as my order page is too long), but according to it just now we're still stuck at this:
Order #10129 made on April 27, 2013. Order status: sample-chip-shipped.

I don't get it.
Is there any chance of getting the chips out of customs?
Can the tracking number be posted into this thread so we can call the customs and ask the wtf is going on??

I can assure you that I'll be working with Noitev in NYC over the weekend to get a resolution in place. Anybody else that wants to meet with me is also welcome, just send me a PM for time and place.
Being only a mediator, I can handle only one "crisis" at a time. So I'll be focusing more of my time and energy on this group buy now.

Thanks for the update. I'll be anxious to hear how the meeting with the customs agent in NYC goes.

I have 26 chips from this group buy up for sale. PM me for offers 
August 21, 2013, 01:04:44 AM
I am dropping from 4 to 3 BTC if any takers let me know
I am selling my 38 chips and two K16s to Noitev for 3BTC,
once I get the 3BTC into 1Ki3sFg6bCasB6tkuMW41DCCpGFDgDHVgL they are his. Then I will confirm with ryepdx since they are headed his way.

I have no idea how much this costs, but is 3 BTC a good offer?
Daniel, if you go up to 4 BTC I'll sell my 38 chips and my order of 2 K16's in ryepdx's group
you end up with 6 extra chips to sell as well
let me know!
I might do that.
I will also copy JohnK, so an independent 3rd party can put eyes upon this.
