Real name, phone number, and email are all unnecessary if you ask me. I don't mind giving this info out, but there are others that may find this an issue. I know some people that communicate via pm and only receive shipments at their PO Box. Either that or send the info via signed messages. Just my 0.01BTC

I do not have any problem giving them out, but I certainly want to know who I am dealing with - it should be reciprocated.

I suggested this as well when I sent over my personal details and he said he would not be reciprocating due to security reasons.

I don't wan't any more drama to come of this, but that sounds kind of sketchy. Can we at least get John K's details then, since hes got the OP's info. I've got a considerable amount invested here and I would like to know who to track down if I don't get my chips:)

He is handling a large expensive order; I for one don't mind not knowing his personal details, but then again I've only got 1.5ish btc invested so far.

I tipped JohnK .2 BTC.. I feel like if everyone were to do this, it would compensate him more than enough, especially with the 1% fee added to it.

NICE work JOHNK....

That will do.... that will do.

Thanks - whew. For 1.5%, the workload is crazy.

$1800 for 11 days worth of work ain't that bad ;p

The workload for John was pretty high. Not trying to be curt, but he really carried this thing. Your part will come (the shipping part), and then you'll be able to decide whether it was worth your share of the work as well. The only person who can determine whether the amount of work he put was worth the reward is John. He says it ain't worth it, I believe him. I will personally be sending a significant tip as soon as I'm able to start mining with these chips and generating some bitcoin, and I will be sending a meaningful tip to those involved.

John says it should've been another 1% minimum to make it worth his time. I'll personally be sending an additional 15%-20% in tips, when I'm in a position to do so, since what John did was WAAAY more than those assholes at Paypal or Bitinstant do, and they're taking 2.5% and 4% off the top, respectively, and screwing customers over left and right... John offered WAAAAY more service, and didn't screw anybody.

John has also effectively earned my escrow business for life, and I'll refer others to him as well. Wink

Agreed 100%

JohnK is awesome!

What's the expected weight anyone know?

Just throwing out some guesses, I'd say each chip is less than half a gram. Assuming .5grams per chip you'd be looking at about 11lbs minus packaging. If we assume a 1:1 ratio of chip weight to tape weight (again, very high), but let's assume it, we're looking at 24 lbs. Figure another nice liberal number for box(es), and call that 6 lbs. 30lbs all told, if we're talking reels.

If they actually do come in trays (which I've never seen for a chip that small), it's a whole different ball game...

Bottom line, we WAAAAY over-paid for shipping. But that's a fact of life when dealing with China. They jack the shit out of shipping... But what do you do, when it's a 'take it or leave it' type of deal?

I balked at paying an equal share of shipping for an unequal share of chips, but again, I'd rather have the chips than not, so we pay what we gotta pay. Wink

Just so you know, the chips are 7mm x 7mm QFN48 packages. Considering the size and quantity, they may be shipped in reels, though I don't have experience with large chip shipments. Looking around, it seems like a 13" reel would hold 2,000 7x7 QFN chips. So five 13" reels.

Reels would be easy, I'd imagine, since you can just cut the tape into strips, put the strips into anti-static bags, and ship those.

At one point you asked how Avalon would ship the 10K Chips. I don't think I ever saw it answered.

Almost without doubt, they will ship them in JEDEC Trays. It's kind of the de facto standard for chip transport.

Thank you ragingazn628 and JohnK.

@ragingazn628

1) do you intend to propose hosting the chips in exchange for a percentage of revenue ?

2) is that you can estimate the time required to assemble the chips once the receipt ?

If I send you my info now, can I change the ship to address later once I have decided where to have the miners assembled?

Of course!
