I joined a group buy in the Custom Hardware forum. Check there for details. What we need here in the Philippines are two things:
1. Group Buy, with third party escrow if you prefer (with additional 1% fee). Or just blindly trust someone (me?) to do this. Physical pick up of chips when it arrives, or send to you by Air21 / LBC / DHL.
2. Electrical Engineer who knows what to do.
I can volunteer to facilitate the group buy, however, we need 782 bitcoins. I have 10+ branches of my shop in SM Malls and Robinson's Dept Store so you can pick up your chips there when they arrive, or wait for some EE to do something to it.
Or I can have it sent to Germany and have that guy there do something to the chips. In that case, much easier to just join those European group buys already.
There is no news about Avalon Batch 4 yet, so the chips are the only option now. Time is important.
Do we have 782 worth of bitcoins to do the group buy?
I think if we are going to do a group buy, it should go like this:
1. Choose a multiple of 10 chips. 10, 20, 30, 100, 500, 1000. Basta kailangan multiple of 10.
2. Pay 0.086 per chip. Or 0.86 for 10 chips.
3. We have to reach 10,000 chips.
I can start a new thread there in Custom Hardware, for a group buy, for Philippines. So tayo tayo lang mga pinoy, or in fact any other person who is residing in the Philippines can participate.
This can also be my first escrowed service here, and since I am in Metro Manila, wag na kayo mag duda. I will provide all information and be as transparent as possible. In another thread, I offered escrow for high value bitcoin transactions. Maybe I should start with 782 BTC.
According to zefir's thread:

Pricing
I am asking for a 9.9% surplus for my nerves (risk compensation). the 10k chips totaled to 782.1BTC, which results to a resale price of 0.086BTC / chip.
On top of this BTC denominated net price, I will add a fiat based component to cover expenses, including
tax and custom handling fees (~10%)
effective shipping cost from Switzerland
flat handling fee of $20 per order
Since these items will be paid in fiat, they will be charged after I receive the chips and before they are sent to you.

So I will just copy the same. Pick up will be free if you get it from one of my stores within Metro Manila. Yung mga nasa provinces will have to pay extra for shipping.
Our problem now is who is our Electrical Engineer? Meron ba kayo mga kilala?
