The OP is shipping from CT, USA most probably. Regarding the deadline issue, I have been in talks with Ataxx and OP with deadlines below. Ataxx is waiting an order of his BTC to go through, via a P2P deal at a local Bitcoin meetup, and that he will be dropping around 200BTC+ and covering most if not all of the group buy (previous paid sales will be honored, of course). OP's waiting for MT.Gox, and I expect him to take no longer than Ataxx.

Yeah, I'm definitely in it for the USA delivery too.

Also, I'm going to be trying to use one of the local plants here in Oregon to print and assemble the circuit bkkcoins is working on. PM me if you're interested in maybe pooling our chips and getting a group rate.

I'd love a US option to burnin.  I have 13 chips, enough for one board +3 left over.  I heard rumors about a single chip usb and would be interested in those too if they ever materialize.

+1. 

I was going to jump ship today. But, since we are all on the same boat as far as the deadline goes, I'll fish around a bit longer.

+1 for the deadline.

Also, where is OP going to be shipping from? If they're in the USA, I might be interested in making a face-to-face pickup.

This is my main interest in this thread. Hoping that this goes through and we get an assembly person here in US, it would be way faster than going though the zefir/burnin route, even with the delay in chip ordering.

i also vote for a deadline, there are lots of chip orders going in and we don't want to be behind more than we already are.

Alright, 4/27 Midnight UTC might be a little too fast (this is equivalent to 4/26 @ 7 PM PDT), as our two big pending contributors (that gets us over the 780 BTC) haven't communicated their timelines on the board on Friday.  

Yay on the deadline. If friday midnight is too soon, then saturday 11:59:59 UTC or 23:59:59 UTC might be good candidates.

there's deadline after which we can get our money back?
we lose much time and buy from Zephir becomes each hour more interesting for us all.

I second the need for this. People will be more willing to commit if we can set a deadline.  OP seems like a pretty busy guy, but most of us are interested in knowing by Friday.  

Can we set a hard deadline for funds disbursed by 4/27 Midnight UTC and if this fails then JohnK distributes funds back minus 1% for being a good escrow and working diligently regardless of the problems?

Can I get votes yea or nay on this and can we do a tally?

Voting yes. I say we set a deadline for 24-36 hours from now. Everyone has had plenty of time to get their BTC in.

JohnK, how quickly can you disburse funds if the timeline expires?  I think if you can do it right away, we could set the deadline for 4.28.13 Midnight UTC, which is equivalent to 4/27 @ 7 PM PDT, or 50 hours from now.  People are most interested in hitting the deadline set by Zefir here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-avalon-asic-chip-distribution-177827 if this falls through.

edit: Here is a quote from Zefir: The buying window opens now and closes by end of this month, or precisely 2013-05-01T00:00Z (May 1st 2013, 00:00 UTC).  So, 50 hours should be a rock solid estimate for those wishing to defect if we can't hit our deadline.

Vote yes on deadline.  JohnK has been present, but OP has not and there is no indication that this purchase will ever finalize.

Well since some people back out I'm down for another 20 chips!

Confirmed, although you overpaid a bit if I am not wrong. Noted that down and it'll probably go forward for shipping from OP to you.

Hmmm I used the little calculator formula on the spreadsheet...If you're not worried I'm not worried...

Edit:
I just noticed you have a tip box up top. Take my left overs and add it to the tip Wink
You mean the one for nebiz who created that spreadsheet? I'll add that to the count, then.  Smiley
