Assuming we have the schematics and complete gerber files, I have a source that can assemble and fabricate in a matter of days to a week. I will hopefully have more info on this shortly.
Topic: [Group Buy#2] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! 1 chip = .078BTC = 282Mhash! - page 6. (Read 21656 times)
Of the various projects I've seen proposed, I'm looking most closely at Burnin's, followed by BKKCoin's. I'm not ready to commit to either until we actually see confirmed designs (and recommend others hold off too), but they're both quite promising.
Ultimately, I'm liking the idea of Burnin's "Double Density" option, which puts 20 chips per board, and is scaleable with multiple boards. It'd be awesome to be able to just get some PCB prints, and have the boards built for a group shipment here in the U.S. and then assembled by the end users. I've got a local hackerspace shop that probably has a decent reflow station. I might have to join up and get these things assembled there.

the chips from zefir will be sent to a DIY PCB project.. any update on your PCB plans?
At the risk of repeating myself
I'm most interested in BkkCoin's board https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/klondike-16-chip-asic-open-source-board-preliminary-190731 , if anyone wants to buy from this group and send to BkkCoin in Thailand maybe we can get something organised? 
I just want to clarify why I pulled out of this: it's not because I have any reservations against ragingazn. No. I think he's a great and generous person for doing this. The reason I backed out is because I'm in a hurry. I want those chips as soon as I can.
Thanks. Already noted a few days ago.
BTW guys, you can buy and resell your chips in this group to other people!
I've got about 350chips available from zefir batch #3 (6.1btc) and from ragingazn628 (20.1btc) first batch order - willing to unload at cost
Thanks

I meant that people can buy from this group and resell later. Zefir says you can't resell now.

No not yet.

You can put me down for 24 BTC worth of chips, maybe more (if i can get money out of places) - can send the 24btc before the weekend

Are you willing to ship directly to BURNIN?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/work-in-progess-burnins-avalon-chip-to-mining-board-service-179769
Yup. I've already talked to Burnin about it since group 1
Looking at the spreadsheet now. Probably going to buy a BUNCH of these... Thanks for making this group order.
Same here, we just need to figure out the fastest non-prohibitively-expensive way to get these assembled once the chips arrive.

Hmm, seems to be short a bunch. Why no escrow this time around?
No need. Besides JohnK has all my information from the other group buy.
So John did one escrow for you, and he is hooked up for life to back all your auction ? Nice. Don't forget to send him a hefty tip.

Hi guys, my name is Mike and I just wanted to formally introduce myself to the buy group. Let's help Raging get this order shipped out ASAP. We have an incredible opportunity ahead of us in making money. Let's encourage others to join.
I'd like to also extend an incredible appreciation to Raging for putting this together. In the coming days and weeks ahead, I will be in the process of documenting possible sourcing options to either build the boards ourselves, and or direct any all necessary recommendations to Raging to helping him expedite production.
In an effort to help move this along, I will probably look to secure another 100BTC+. These chips are in ULTRA HIGH demand, which means we have an incredible limited window of opportunity to get as many as possible.
