you guys won't kill me if fro mthe day i get the package to mailing it all out is 3 or 4 days, will ya? christ there's a lot of you, and a lot of chips...
That's kind of what I expected. The chips should be shipped in order of size ordered; the more chips you bought the more you are affected by delays. I ordered 20 and if I don't end up piggybacking on a group pcb build, fully expect to be shipped somewhere near last. |

The Gratis Chips...
1. We should all vote on it.
I personally think it is best if we as a group spread these chips directly to developers with promising DIY open source designs.
What do others think?
I agree, although I'm betting some of the developers have group buys themselves where they will be getting dev chips. |

We don't have any time for trolls. We are busy being productive.
Bravo. I for one can't wait to see what you guys can do. |

I hear you. But if someone doesn't pay up.. I'd be happy to take their spot (for 2).  M If somebody doesn't pay up, their spot disappears. We already have the minimum in escrow. Canary will be VERY happy to include you in the other group buy. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195647.0Cutoff for payment is less than 7 days now right? We down to what? Six? Do we have a counter or something? I like counters. |

[edit] Ok, looks like Klondike is just putting together and shipping PCB boards, but not doing the final chip mounting in a reflow oven... I'm looking at the reference design myself now, might go with my own favorite PCB assembly house. Has anyone started working with their own PCB assemblers on this yet?
Yea, I think we desperately need someone to put together something to turn these chips into a final product. Burnin is doing great work but he's in Germany, and that sucks. I would put it together but I don't really know anything about electrical engineering or where to go to get PCBs + parts assembled. |

Raginzazn, can you add enough boards on your order to Klondike to cover mounting my 70 chips? Would be nice to just have mine ride along with yours until the last shipping step, if possible. I can pay / tip you for letting my chips ride on your order. Cheers~
+1 Also, if we go Klondike, I'll have 4 chips left over after one board. I want to obtain another 12 to get two boards. Anyone here need to part and parcel some of their chips out? |

I count 561.0471 as paid in the spreadsheet and 558.99840078 in the escrow address. That's 2.04869922 needed in the escrow address to match the spreadsheet. That's 0.05260078 short of one extra. Arklan are you aware of any partial payments? Also, what's "NZ" on line 48 (timewaster)?

also i am one to get screwed on that block...
17925 2013-05-08 14:13:44 1:27:14 11634278 4758 0.00000118 235160 25.21733124 50 confirmations left
Guys and gals - let's stop complaining about that 17925 block. It's more than abundantly clear that something went wrong (or at least doesn't meet our expectations). For good or bad - Slush is the only one that can tell what exactly happened and fix it. And after all - for majority of us the lost amount is rather insignificant - the daily income would be affected by a single-digit percentage. So - let's stop whining about it. Slush hasn't posted for over a week, so he might be on vacation and therefore won't be able to fix it. If that's the case - we'll have to live with it. I for one wasn't complaining (I was the first to notice, and yes I want a cookie), but rather pointing out that something had gone wrong. As a developer myself I assume its of interest to the admin when something doesn't work right since it points out potential issues. No whining here; my loss was equivalent to about fifty cents. |

I hate to sound stupid, but how would I NOT maintain ownership of the address you sign with?
I guess it is probably unusual, but I've sold entire wallet files. Probably not relevant to this topic. A much much much more common way is to have a wallet file stolen from your computer. Even more common than that would be to sign up for an on-line wallet or other Bitcoin related venture and have the proprietors fold up shop with the secret keys that the users (incorrectly) considered their own That has been repeated ad-naseum since at least right after I got actively involved and the 'mybitcoin' scam went down. If you send it directly from MtGox or Coinbase or some other exchange that maintains the private key to the wallet holding your coins, you won't be able to sign it. |

I hereby declare that I have traded in my 100 chips order to ragingazn628 for the full original payment. I no longer have the rights to these 100 chips ordered in this thread.
Thanks,
shibaji
I wouldn't mind picking up some extra chips if someone needs out. If someone organizes something with the 16 chip design, I'll need 12 more to get two boards. I'd buy 12 from someone on the condition that there is an organized build for the 16 chip boards, or 10 if we go with the 10 chip design burnin is working on. |

the noobs talk and asking questions here on the pools thread is why we need a slushs forum rather then trawl through 5000 pages on bitcoin talk.
then the chat could be subdivided out and handled in a general forum system while important things could be moved and modererated by a few chosen
+1. There are tons of free forum plugins /standalone systems out there. Phorum for php comes to mind. 380 pages of posts is daunting and most of it usually irrelevant to the topic at hand, which is generally the last 3 or 4 pages. Telling someone to wade through 380 pages of "Is the forum down?" to answer their question seems a bit harsh. Search. That's what it's there for. No one expects you to wade through 380 pages. But with 3 clicks most questions can be answered. Yea, if your search terms are right. And then once you find the question, track down the answer, which may or may not be mixed in with three to five other conversations. I'm saying, this is not the most efficient way to handle discussion about a range of topics with one central theme. An out of the box forum would do just fine. I'd even volunteer to throw one up if someone has a domain they want to host it on. It's honestly like 5 hours total worth of work to get set up. Moderating, filtering now may be more cumbersome, but Slush's pool is pretty popular. I think it may be time to at least look into a standalone forum. |

 Seems to be an issue here. From my calculations, 1784 / 11634278 * 25.21733124 = 0.003866825163724, not .00000048 What's the deal? Give it time.... Wait at least a half hour after a block before complaining about your reward please. I see. I thought it stayed in "Processing" until it was done, and then what you saw is what you got. I don't mind being patient, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I saw an invalid block earlier, thought maybe this was some kind of adjustment. Thanks for the quick response. |

I just want to make sure the math is right:
Minimum Order 300 units @ 1.99/unit = 597 btc to factory
2% escrow fee to John K on 597 btc = 608.94 btc total needed for a shipment
297 units required to ship (not counting 3 for OP organizing fee)
608.94 / 297 = 2.0503030303... each
.05/unit shipping (that's shipping to our door, not from factory; factory shipping is free).
2.0503030303 + .05 = 2.100303030303
Right?
What's the extra .001 for?
Also, this is a minimum purchase of 300. Does that mean if we get more demand we can go over 300? Are we cutting off at exactly 300?
we will gladly order more then 300 if we get that many. and your math is different cause you didn't include the shipping inthe amount john gets a fee on. so it's (1.99 x 300) + (.05 x 297) = 611.85 + 2% = 624.087 / 300 err.... i think. Ah, ok. You're right. |

I don't want to pee on your cereals, but have you considered the possibility that someone doesn't pay their order in timely manner or at all? What do you do then? This of course isn't a problem if you gather interest for over 300 pieces, because then you can just drop out those who haven't paid, but if you end up on exectly or just a few over 300 then everybody must wait for the last payments and because time is of essence when purchasing mining gear you might end up with some very angry customers.
In my last group buy, once orders were open it was first come first serve. This is just to gauge interest before beginning. |
