Also interested in purchasing ordered chips if someone is looking to get out.  PM me.

Terrahash started accepting reservations for assembly today on their site. I reserved one of their K64 boards, if anyone else is still looking for assembly options. I still have 6 chips I'm trying to get into K1 units as USB-miner gifts for friends, anyone know of a good place doing K1's?

Hopefully we can at least get Raging to update his new shipping address with JohnK, if needed. I hope that happens soon!

Just for posterity, I need 64 of my chips sent to Terrahash:

1800 Wyatt Drive,
Suite 15
Santa Clara, CA 95054
USA

In my care, with 6 being split off to either myself or a K1 assembler. I'll have to pay extra shipping, I guess.

Cheers, all

He's been real busy with the knc group buys, and that looks like some serious work keeping track of that now and especially once he has to divy up the mined coins

I think his PM box is probably stuffed.  Hopefully he'll just jump in this thread and give us all a heads up



Again... were just need a little heads up form him as soon as his family situation is cleared up. In terms of builds etc issues with the PICs for Klondikes are going to be an issue so check before you leap into other builders to see if they have the BOM completed as there could be long delays. Check BKKCoins thread for that info. I think there could be a real mess of problems for those that haven't secured some key components on the BOM.

Is anyone in Raginazin's region that can help oversee this situation if necessary step up?

It's sad that this is falling by the way side. The KNC group buys seem to be the Flavour of the Month ... hopefully the same doesn't happen in the group buys.

So...

We've got an unresponsive group buy leader, whose sample chips still haven't arrived (even though other group buys have had sample chips for weeks), who was supposed to be running an assembly service whose website account is now suspended, who is moving to a new location of which the escrow service is unaware. 

Tell me again why I shouldn't be a little sketched out?

+1

I practically want to vote a new group buy organizer if possible.

I thought about that myself.
If he has personal family stuff going on, he should concentrate on that first and foremost.

Also waiting on a reply to email/pm from raging.. avalon chips have begun shipping, zefir batch #1 for starters.  my hunch is there will be very little window between them even if ordered weeks later.  TSMC doesn't do small batches.  they probably came together.

need to send my chips to burnin personally..

Sigh. I was planning on using NEO-ASICS for assembly. Can anyone point me to the current best option to get in line for US assembly? We need to make sure the chips get delivered to a verified address, that seems to be the top priority right now.

I'm now planning to use steamboat's assembly and fervently hoping that Raging still delivers chips instead of just disappearing into the ether.

Pitchforks and Tar not needed yet.

We are all on edge let us try and be patient. No one yet has received group batch orders even from earlier buys.

Pins and needles time.

Hope all is well with his family. Also I think it would be prudent to get updated info John K on Raginazins current location / residence just in case it is necessary. If that is part of the escrow service... just asking about it not demanding. Your thoughts John?

If he's willing to share them of course I would be willing to store the data of course. Personally, I think that wouldn't be really relevant here as the chips are being sent to the address I verified back then though. Smiley

Do you have his new address, John?

Nope, but the chips is going to his old address (?) here which I do have proof of residency though.

Which one is this group-buy, John?
The May 22 order?

Oops, just realized that the Avalon store site does not show all orders even if I press 'View Order Page'. I've manually inputted the order number to show the actual order now, and updated the screenshot.  It should be April 27th.

My assembly service is currently closed to new orders, but I may do another batch if it turns out there's enough interest.

I'm starting to get a little nervous about this.

Raging did you get the sample chips out of customs? Is Neo-ASICs still on, or is that venture dead?

Raging, we need you to update this thread regularly. You told us that this group buy was supposed to be a way for you to re-establish credibility.



Neo-ASICs is clearly dead. Other groups have already started making boards (mine has, at least), and Neo-ASICs doesn't even have prices or sign-ups yet.

I wouldn't panic about the chips. As long as he ships immediately on receipt of the chips, I'll be happy. He did say earlier that he's been busy and trying to get everything in order so he can focus on the chips.

Basically: everyone calm down and make sure your plan is in place for having your chips assembled.
