[Guaging Interest - Group Buy] Avalon ASICs

[Walking Glitch]

I am gauging interest of a group buy for Avalon's 55nm ASICs; for things like Klondikes, and HEX 16B miners. There is another, however, they don't take BTC, and want you to bank transfer to them. If there is sufficient interest, I will start a group buy. We need to order at least 2500 chips. I am thinking of a minimum of 10 chips per order, at .0085BTC per chip, plus shipping, which seems fair considering my personal effort, and shipping supplies, which you will not be charged for, just the shipping itself.

Thoughts? Feedback?

EDIT: I would discount orders of sufficient quantity, say .008BTC at 100+ chips.

I'd be in for 10 or so, just to play with, but their price/performance specs compared to bitfurys, plus your 50% markup, pretty much put them out of the running for anything except legacy support and tinkering.

Yes, but tell me again, who besides a company/group buy is going to plunk down 15 BTC for 2500 chips, which then have to be mounted on a PCB?

I may reduce that markup, I haven't really run any numbers yet. I will likely make it a bit lower.

EDIT: I'm off to bed, I will be checking back when I awaken.

Bump.
