Topic: [Group Buy#1] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as escrow! FINISHED! - page 53. (Read 150659 times)

Actually, your prices are right in my ballpark for the first 20.  Also you're on the east coast.  This makes you a better choice than ryepdx whose in Oregon.  What part of the east coast, might I ask?  I'm in Western VA.

It is because people can just have their chips mounted here (where the chips are delivered) and not have to ship them out to other people. So they don't have to pay shipping and wait a lot longer

That's great and all but I don't know that your group buy thread is the right place to advocate a new venture.

Introducing NEO ASICs -

We are bitcoin enthusiasts who are highly motivated to push bitcoin to the next level and to make ASIC Mining easily available for a reasonable price for consumers like us. As I write this, we are ordering parts for Avalon Clone and Klondike boards to mount your chips on. We are located on the East Coast USA. Pictures will be coming when we have the parts arrive. Lead time is 1-2 weeks.

demo page:
http://neo-asics.com/ - Will be converting to a shop webpage soon.

This is a bring-your-own-chips project. We do not have chips to sell.

What we offer:

Hosting:
If you do not have enough chips for an Avalon Clone then we will mount your chips and give you a cut base on how many chips you have. Each Avalon Clone will house roughly 240 chips so your share will be based on how many chips you put in. The fee will be 2% of your profit + (expenses include but are not limited to, electricity, repairs, shipping, taxes etc.).

Avalon Clone aka NEO:
If you have enough chips for an avalon clone then we will mount them for you. You will be paying for the labor and parts required to mount your chips. We will offer 1-4 (possibly even up to 6) modules for an Avalon Clone.

I have 12 chips in this buy. I am looking to buy 4 more from someone here to make it up to 16 so I can full a K16 board.

Would anyone be kind enough to sell?

Yeah no one mentioned sample chips until recently, I'm with you on that, community consensus if I'm happy then everyone is happy.

Me happy = much faster shipping

sure that's fine.

The fee was pre-agreed upon, but I don't think any sample chips were allocated to you in the original thread.  With my small stake it's of little consequence to me, but I feel that that is indeed not what was bargained for.  If no one else cares, it's cool with me, but I think that should definitely be a community consensus, and not an assumption.

In the address field, can I just state "Stumptown Miners"? Most likely that's where my chips will go for assembly. Not sure whats the exact address, you might want to work that out with ryepdx, since I am sure other people are planning to do the same.

Btw, nice form, defensively simplifies the process.

Thanks.

Yes but you forget I have my own project and it is a lot of work doing this group buy as well. 8 so far and I will keep the rest for development.  I am only getting 1% (7.8BTC) for doing this group buy. If you guys don't think this is fair then please let me know.

ALSO!

Please fill out this new form:

Ahh!  Giant Pics!  Tiny screen!

Seriously though; all sample chips should be allocated based on percentage of the buy holding, right?  What about these other 22 chips?  No one weigh in?  To me it seems from the spreadsheet that you personally are entitled to .686 or so chips. 

Just want to make sure everything is on the up and up.

For a holding tank I don't use substrate. Going bare bottom because if a fish has ich it will be much much harder to treat. It's more like a QT than anything,.

ALSO Guys

anyone figure out the import costs yet?

This is how it will be charged:

xxx chips / 10000 * import charge. If the import charge is less than $500 I will be able to pay for the chips myself and then when I ship them out you must send me equivalent in BTC before I can ship to you.


The guy that called me asked if the values for the chips were true (I think avalon listed it as $3) ... He said it was listed as IC... he asked what is IC? I said just computer chips, he said ahhhh intergrated circuits O.o

I said yes.

It seems you're missing substrate.

8 So far sounds good.

I just got a call from some guy named Gary yesterday saying they received the chips in the shipping location in California and will be shipping them off to me today. We should get the sample chips sometimes this week. I will send pledged chips to BKK but I will need the rest for my development over here as well.

I'm pretty much almost all set as far as setting up the house. I will be 100% putting all of my efforts towards shipping the 10,000 chips when they arrive. I will work day and night. I will call in sick from work for you guys.

Also if you haven't emailed me your shipping info yet please do so with the following format to [email protected]

Username:
Real Name:
Address:
Phone Number:
Email:

Also if you need to make changes to your address please email me. If you bought chips from members in this group buy email me as well (do it again so I can confirm).

When the chips come I will personally call those in the US to confirm to me via PM on Bitcoin talk your shipping address so I can go ahead and ship it.

I'm dedicating today to make sure everything is 100% updated.

Check out my sweet bedroom set up:

You can send my portion of the sample chips to BKK

Enigma

30 chips per 10,000.  256 / 10000 = .0256 or 2.56% of the group buy, which entitles you to 2.56% of the sample chips.  This gives you .768 chips.

I will be supporting ryepdx's west coast board manufacturing effort, so in line with this my sample chips should go to BKK.  I haven't been able to make heads or tails of the sample chip calculation.  I've got an order here for 256 chips, so that gives me ... half a chip?

Yea, I'm @ 20 myself.  Originally planned on going with burnin but shipping chips to Germany and then getting them shipped back to the states sounded pricey, so I'm going with ryepdx for this group buy.  1 K16 + 4 K1s = happiness.

Check the spreadsheet... someone didn't think it through. Should have made it impossible to do that oh well. I have exact chip numbers so I don't need to worry.
