Also, given the amount of people who seem to love pulling out the last minute and wasting all our time, please just send the coins in to the escrow if you want to get your place in. This should go like a first come first serve basis based on the coin input now.

It would be very useful to know how much is needed for the order to be complete. Is the title 714.4/780 still valid ? Implies 65.6 btc needed ?

Hey I'm about to send my 20 BTC payment tonight. But before I do I just want to make sure I understand everything clearly. Could someone with a good knowledge of all this contact me so I can get some questions answered? I would really appreciate that.

Ask here or PM me/ragingazn628.

ragingazn628 please start/continue PMming people who haven't paid or gauging interest in replacing spots with other parties... aka earn the 1% fee and get this order in! I know there's interest as zefir continues to get payments on his thread.

I'd switch this to a first-pledged, first-served group buy. Calculate how many chips remain in the spreadsheet and edit the OP to say we've still got some availability. 24 hours in and not half of the funds have been collected... Waiting for non-payers hurts everyone. Avalon has sold at least 500,000 chips at this point in time (https://blockchain.info/address/1FGAftzSTztFSB8LMwsrdCKTyqGY6zr3sU) and the longer till the order is placed the further back in the production queue we go.

+1 Yup!

PS: I've sent out the PM's around 7 hours ago. I have a few confirmations in with various timelines, hopefully this gets done before this Friday. This is starting to make me feel like the organizer now. Undecided

Come on guys, lets get this order out the door.
Time is money Wink

John. I am interested in having my order shipped directly to Burnin for assembly, save some time in process. I'll pay for any additional shipping costs. If this is doable, can we setup some kind of confirmation method between the involved parties, similar to what they do on zefirs group buy?

Thanks

You'll have to PM ragingazn628 - I am only the escrow here.

The thread title says there are more contribution needed (714.4 / 780) - is this correct ? In later posts I see that it is oversubscribed. I am a bit confused.

Anyway, if there are still contribution needed, and ragingazn can figure out an assembly service within USA, I will contribute as well. I have subscribed to zefir's thread (despite higher processing charge), only because zefir and burnin are close. I did not see a point for shipment to come in USA and then goes to Europe and then comes back to USA.

Earlier Dalkore expressed interest in assmebly (+chip purchase), not sure what happened.

However, it is hard to believe no one is available in US who might provide this service.

I hope you realize that zefir's group is now on their 4th batch, right ? So, even if you are able to make this batch order before zefir's 4th, there are still 3 orders of chips before yours reaching burnin (divide that by whatever percent you want, but I would think it would be very close to 90% than 50%).

Ahh. I was not aware.

That changes things a little.

Are there any other options besides using Burnin's service at the moment? Sending the chips to Hamburg and then waiting in line behind all the other PCB assembly orders seems like it could take weeks if not longer. Ragingazn, you had mentioned working on your own PCB project. Any news on that?

Seconded. Although burnin looks to be shipping 500 boards a week (5000 chips); so he'll probably move them pretty quickly; especially if the chips can make it directly to him from those of us who would like him to assemble the boards. There's us and zefir so the total number of chips shipped to burnin probably won't go over 10,000 (assuming even half of both orders ship to burnin). I'm expecting about 3-4 weeks turn around (total) after the shipment is paid for. Seems quicker than waiting in line for a BFL.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves guys. Let's get this thing pre-ordered first.

Once everything is shipped to me you can decide on whether you want the chips to be shipped to you directly or to Burnin. If you want it to be shipped to Burnin you have to sign his contract or what not.

Keep in mind that I am also gathering members to form a team that will develop ASIC miners with these chips as well. We are currently following the DIY thread closely. It's a bunch of local engineers that I've been contacting. But like I said that's all in the near future. We have about 2-3 months before we actually get the chips but I am gathering info and talking to people now.

Let's get all the BTC sent to escrow's address and then we can discuss about the shipment and what you plan to do with the chips.

I would like more info on this as well, after the order is placed.

The procedure will likely be the same as zefir's group buy: you sign a message to burnin stating that he is to receive your chips.

I am also interested in shipping the chips to burnin. His post says he's working with you ragingazn628.

Once we get the order in, let us know how to coordinate shipping to burnin for creating the PCB boards.

I am sorry, given the number of chips that have already been sold (around 500'000) i no longer believe this investment is worth it for me. Therefore I am retracting my offer. Best of luck to you all!

Sorry for the inconvenience.
