Topic: [Group Buy#1] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as escrow! FINISHED! - page 76. (Read 150591 times)

yes If anybody is interested - I am selling my chips, 20.1 btc worth of chips were ordered and are available - pm for detail's

I have 6.83077137 BTC sitting in my walled, and just now gave up on a deal that would've gotten me the other 2 I was going to buy in order to hit 100 chips.

It's ready to go, and gets the group a step closer to sealing this deal, in the event that the other guy can't come through. I would've loved to round it out to an even 100 chips, but I'm prepared to send the coin I already do have, if I'm not going to be given the same opportunity that this other guy is getting (deadline of Sunday).

Is there, in fact, a strict limit of 10,000 chips only?

If so, why are you guaranteeing a set number to somebody based on his word alone, and kicking out somebody who has "cash in hand"?

If not, why limit people from getting in their money beforehand? If we can buy, say 11,000, or 12,000 chips, why not just set a deadline of Sunday, and let anybody who can get their orders in before the deadline order, and buy whatever amount is needed?

Either way, I don't know if you realize how royally this screws me, when I scrambled to get this stuff lined up, paid a bunch of fees, took part of the day off work today to go run around and play Bitinstant's reindeer games, only to get shut out, literally at the last minute.

I sent a PM an hour before you closed the thread asking if I would be okay waiting until I got my last 2 BTC (sunday at the latest) or if I should just send what I had on hand already. I was ready and willing to do that, if that's what it came to.

Please let me send my payment. I'm willing to take whatever my 6.83077137 BTC can buy me at this point, if that's what it takes. Although I'd really prefer to be given the same opportunity as everybody else, and have until Sunday to get my full order placed.

But beggars can't be choosers. I'll be very grateful to you if you'll let me do either one.

Please, please, please, I'm begging you, don't put me out in the cold!

I'm going to have to agree with you on this.  There is no reason why Ataxx should get special treatment after it has been clearly stated that pledged payments would be bumped out by new confirmed payments.  What happened to "first come first served?"

I am interested in buying more chips. Can't put the BTCs together on time, only was able to deposit partially. If anybody is interested in selling their chips, please let me know.

I am planning to order PCBs for assembly as soon as Avalon deliver the promised Reference Design and I be able to check and test everything and only after building a working prototype. I can help anybody with the assembly and testing of their boards if requested.

Not to discourage anybody, keep in mind that going with the Avalon design, requires more than the main board (80 chips Module) to make it work i.e. it requires the power distribution module, CPLD control unit, back plane, USB interface, etc.

There are other DIY projects going on, but I understand that they are only for a single or a few ASIC chips in a standalone board.

This is absolutely not correct. You cannot make such bias against all of us - this is not autonomy. This really leaves a bad taste. If you are so much confident, put your btc in for him and get paid back.

Please re-open the thread! If Ataxx misses, it is his fault, and he still can get onto zefir's thread.

Come on- this is outrageous. Your this stance alone encourages me to pull out of this.

In fact, if you do not open this thread, I WILL pull out of this crap.

If wrenchmonkey sends his BTC to escrow, he should bump folks that haven't yet escrowed, but are saying 'trust me'.

Seconded. Ataxx needs to fight the clock on this, we can't trust a person with no forum reputation to come through on $12,000+.

I don't like the fact that we are relying on one person to pay such a large amount to save this thing.  Shouldn't others have a chance to get in on this if they have their bitcoins ready to go? 

Dude, you CAN'T BE SERIOUS! I sent you a PM about an hour ago asking for a total. Please tell me I didn't just pay ton of fees to buy bitcoin, only to miss out on this anyway.  

We are now closed! Please stop sending btc! Ataxx has assured me 100% that he will send btc by Sunday!

I wish we could have gotten this done yesterday.  I want to be able to finally sleep tonight damnit!

Can take up to a day for Gox to add funds via Dwolla, typically I see clearing times of 4-7 hours.

All aboard the awesome train! Choo choo motherfuckers, 90 BTC to go!

it takes like 5 hrs for mtgox to clear it from dwolla. so its gone, out of dwolla, kind of in limbo until mtgox decides that its legit and you can use it. only then it appears in your account, but it was gone out of dwolla long before then.

The money is already gone from my account. Dwolla already cleared it, why is there no money in my MTGOX account?
