Topic: [Group Buy#1] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as escrow! FINISHED! - page 60. (Read 150591 times)

Raginzazn, can you add enough boards on your order to Klondike to cover mounting my 70 chips? Would be nice to just have mine ride along with yours until the last shipping step, if possible. I can pay / tip you for letting my chips ride on your order. Cheers~

[edit] Ok, looks like Klondike is just putting together and shipping PCB boards, but not doing the final chip mounting in a reflow oven... I'm looking at the reference design myself now, might go with my own favorite PCB assembly house. Has anyone started working with their own PCB assemblers on this yet?

I think I will be buying Klondike as a last resort as well. I already talked to him about buying a mass order hopefully I can get first in line!

Sent 25.619 BTC to dserrano5 at 1G2EVPuQedeyq66iQSSSsssh1hMNQMBPe9

As agreed with ecliptic via PM, this is a quick public message to state that I'm selling my 320 chips to him for 25.619 BTC. He is now expected to send that amount to 1G2EVPuQedeyq66iQSSSsssh1hMNQMBPe9 and post the txid here.

Avalon Reference for chips:

ragingazn, any updates on PCB design on your end?

There is this company in California... maybe.

Also, if anyone has 10 chips they want to transfer to me, please PM.

Are there any other batches for avalon chips so far?
Where i can get 18 or 20 chips i want?
I can help either to PCB assembly if anyone interest it

Put this out again...

Looking for 4 or 36 chips at original cost and transferred within the group to anyone needing a quick payout.

Do this through JohnK escrow and Ragin will confirm transfer to my total and BTC then released.

PM me.

Looks like I'm going to be buying another user's 12.8 chips. I would really like to end up with 20 chips for a 20 chip unit though - I know it's a long shot but is there anyone in this thread that wants to sell 8 chips worth of their share?

edit: for that matter I'd love to buy someone's 18 or 28 chips, and would pay a bit extra for interest

I am buying them for my friends

Thanks shiba I have about 13 more BTC for chips guys - if you are selling your chips in this order PM me asap!

I would like to tell you my little avalon chips story and my efforts to be in the batch.
When i saw the opportunity to be in the batch, i try to get some BTC's for my chips.
I 've started with the official way, mtgox.
I had subscribe and give my credit card account. They answer that need to refund. "Ok" i said and try to put some money. But how?
bitcoins, bank account, okpay, reedem etc.
I was forced to make subscription to okpay. But they ask me from there to make subscription to other funding methods.
Not saying much, i spend about 3 days without purchacing anything yet, even a shatoshi!
Having said that you must consider that the time was passing and the batch train would gone forever.
After continous pressure to get btc's i finally found the bad way called virwox.
I had managed to get in and make a subscription too.
After a couple of hours, i finally managed to get 0.4 BTC for 60Euros!
"Damn you" i said but the batch train was about to leave!
The virwox didn't let me to get more the same day, because of "their policy"
Ok lets try another method to fund elsewere.
I went to okpay, reedem, monebookers, skrill, UVWF, SEPA, and i dont remember how many of them i forgot to mention.
Next day i spend another 60 euros to my virwox account, and the train starting to rising steam pressure and my nerves getting like a rock.
Finally after 2 more days, i managed to get my 180 euros in 1.5 BTC but now the train has left forever.
I tell you my story because i don't want someone else getting screwed like i did.
Thank you for your attention to read this!

ragingazn628, could I get 32 of those chips? That'd bring my total order to 512 chips.

I wouldn't mind picking up some extra chips if someone needs out.  If someone organizes something with the 16 chip design, I'll need 12 more to get two boards.  I'd buy 12 from someone on the condition that there is an organized build for the 16 chip boards, or 10 if we go with the 10 chip design burnin is working on.

I hereby declare that I have traded in my 100 chips order to ragingazn628 for the full original payment. I no longer have the rights to these 100 chips ordered in this thread.

Thanks,
shibaji

That's my hope as well. I'm also in preliminary talks with a fab company on the east coast but I don't have the ability to actually design the boards. I was hoping to use an open source version and get them built and delivered prior to receipt of the chips. I also wanted to see what the turnaround time would be if I had the chips shipped to the fab company and had them bang out the lot. It may be faster, actually. I just need a design I can use so I'm a bit stuck at this point.

This occurred to me as well. I assume in that case the parts already in place would simply re-solder themselves. Definitely interested in this idea so long as it is safe to do.

I'm hoping to have the boards manufactured and assembled PRIOR to the arrival of my chips. Then I can just drop the chips on and bake them in on a reflow station. Seems like the quickest way to be up and running after chips arrive.

What do you guys think? Any interest in getting together a group order of pre-assembled boards, minus chips?

Hi all just checking in

Is the plan this for most of us:

Buy some boards from Bkk(16,64 or USB 1 chips)
Then have those boards and our chips all sent someplace for assembly?

Do we need to have the in between steps of us getting the chips, getting the boards and then sending them to a place?  Can't we just bulk ship them and us buyers just it in our hands once chips are on boards?

Thoughts?

Hey guys I have about 21BTC for your chips message me if you would like to trade!

Very interested. I was hoping to be able to get more chips on the 2nd group buy, but it doesn't look like it will go through in time.

I'd be interested in all of them, but to be fair to erschiessen (or any one else needing more chips), maybe I could just get 64?

Obviously provided its okay to transfer ownership in the first place.
