Would be better if it was in another subforum lol.

BTW guys I'm sorry for a little bit MIA. I've been moving into my new house.

I figured JohnK is the only person right now who can officially confirm BTC sent so my part was done until shipment etc.

I've been answering all PMs and such though I'll try to be more active in the thread so people don't get anxious lol

check out my sweet set up!

A little update! I originally pledged 17BTC but went up to about 45BTC because some RL friends wanted in on this. I have the 17 BTC ready but I am waiting for my funds to be put into MTGOX so I can buy BTC for my friends, that is why it's delayed. We are still waiting on Mike (Ataxx) to get his BTC (over 150+) from a local bitcoin millionaire in NY (where he lives).

It's just the waiting game for us.

It is entirely up to the group if you guys want to have a deadline or not but I would be patient. This would have gone a lot faster if we just sent BTC to escrow address first instead of having pledges.

We slowed down a lot because a lot of people pledged and then bailed out when they're supposed to be sending BTC.

And I do understand that Myself, Ataxx and a few others are the bottleneck of this currently but I'm just saying that I can send my original pledge of 17BTC right now and it would make no difference. I would rather send the 45BTC at the same time.

Proof:



P.S I sent this when BTC was lower unfortunately ;/

Confirmed .9999999999... = 1

1/3 = .3333333333...

.3333333333... * 3 = .9999999999...

3 * (1/3) = 1

therefore

.9999999999... = 1

MIND BLOWN!

Yes there's room. We're going by BTC sent now. First come first serve. We will be removing pledges that have not sent BTC soon!

yup got a guy with 100+ BTC and my own little group of RL friends for ~45BTC ... I'm waiting on MTGOX money transfer right now

Seems like a good deal. Good luck with sales man.

already contacted JohnK this should be closed!

says on their page costs: $100k to build.

They're selling for $90k

they love making a profit.

JohnK and I are taking turns pretty much lol - I am up when he goes to sleep and he's up when I'm still asleep.

Yes I've been talking to local engineers to start up a project. Everyone's excited about this. Nothing is set in stone yet but I will let you know once the team is put together and our website is up etc. But the plan is that by the time the chips start shipping we would be able to offer a service to build ASIC machines using your chips that you ordered. You obviously would have to pay for the extra parts (PCB / PSU etc.) and labor. But that's all in the future for now. I am just planning ahead while we wait!

haha

Well that and now you can only get them for $2500 ;/

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 have been doing that. Me and JohnK both. I'm not just sitting around and hoping people would pay. If you pledged and haven't paid yet then you need to.

I cropped out the last 4 digits

I'm interested.

Yes. Everyone should be sending coins to escrow's address! SEND! This will make the pre-order much faster and more organized! Send so we can confirm you!

then where will the BTC from waitlist go... lol

It's not complicated at all just add up the fractions at the end and do a quick random

Quick Announcement.

If you guys are wondering where those fractions of chips are going then if there are less chips than contributors just do a fun raffle to see who will get more chip? If it adds up to ~30 chips we can put usernames in http://www.random.org/ and top 30 people will get an extra chip! I think it would be fun!

Or you can do your own math and add the additional BTC to round your chip count to the next chip number.

10BTC will get you about ~128 chips a lil more
