-Group Buy- Avalon ASIC 63Gh/s unit in Batch 3 [UPDATED]

[sunblaster]

Update: Just lowered GROUP BUY entry point to 10+ coins for 5 or less people. Very manageable group, if you buy in now @ 10BTC it will pay for itself in 1 month @ double current difficulty, no other hardware will do that at the moment.

Update 3:23PST, Not Sold out YET! Just need about BTC50 to buy one unit.

Update 1.30PST: More Avalons available for purchase plus one unit my carts, just need two individuals for the group buy to make this happen!

Update 1.00PST: checkout my server room shot [/b] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158246.msg1675145#msg1675145

Hey,

I am looking for five or less people to partner with and purchase one 63Gh AVALON unit. I am short about 50 coins to complete the purchase, if you're interested then send me PM so we can pre-order it together. My plan is simple, I'll be running the unit in my server room and all mined coins will be split equally depending on amount of coins contributed. PM me if interested, only looking for 5 or less people with 10+ coins, I got one Avalon unit in my CART, it won't stay there for too long. This is a long shot but never know maybe I'll find someone

Terms:

- All mined coins are split based on personal BTC contribution, no deductions, my electricity cost is 0, and I don't feel it's fair to charge management fees for equal term partnership.
- Payout once a week

Way to join:

- Send 10 or more BTC to this address 1KUDwGZJ4ZmdEv388CugXm2BPL8Dk9sk6V
- Reply here or via PM once coins are sent
- I will reply with confirmation

Units are still available let get one before it's sold out

Someone asked about if electricity cost and other expenses will deducted from mined profit?

Answer is no, whatever mined will be split between myself and two other people, nothing deducted. My electricity cost is 0 and I don't feel it's fair to charge management fees on equal term partnership.

You should verify yourself with a senior or preferred hero member being that you are pretty new.   Due Diligence please.

[sunblaster]

True, will provide whatever info necessary to whomever is serious about buying with me, like I said I need only 5 or less people  

[sunblaster]

Got few PMs with some interesting counter offers, at this point just looking to pair up with two people @ 25 coins each, no smaller amounts.

There are few other Group buys for people who are interested in smaller coin contributions.

to late. sold out

[sunblaster]

Its been sold out on and off for last 4 hours I also got one in my profile on hold. Either way if i dont get one with two other people its not a big deal.

[relm9]

I'd be interested, but unfortunately I won't be able to buy the BTC until Thursday-Friday and dunno what the price will be like by then. Most likely it'll be sold out by then too. Ah well.

[sunblaster]

Keep hope alive!

Price won't change, I might get a personal direct deposit faster approved then that thought 

[sunblaster]

Someone asked about my hosting environment, here is a partial shot of my server room:

[sunblaster]

More units available, someone should join me quick 

[Furious]

199 units still available

[sunblaster]

Yep, I am keep an eye on this, will see what happens.

I figure 25coins is good entry point from risk perspective, I don't hold my breath for May delivery, so entering at higher difficulty sometime in June/July with 25 coins invested is better proposition.

Update: 3:23PST, Not Sold out YET! Just need BTC50 to buy one unit.

[sunblaster]

Still holding one Avalon in my cart, and still need 50 coins to pay for it so anyone with 25+ coins is welcome to join.

Will only take one person with 50coins or two with 25 each.

Are you sure holding it in cart will cut it ?

[sunblaster]

Batch 2 incomplete orders were given chance to complete payment. So hopefully same will happen for batch3, if not the Ill just refund the coins, not a big deal, never hurts to try.

I think part ownership is way better then paying $15000 for a pre order on ebay.

True.

[sunblaster]

BTW my corporate datacenter server room has failover ISPs, plus a private 100mbit fibreline, dual 10Kva UPS, and locked down security access. I could probably host 20 avalons there :-)

[sunblaster]

I am probably going do to direct deposit thru cavirtex and buy the unit myself if noone is interested by monday. Just dont have enough funds in my mtgox atm, hence willing to pair up with someone.

[sunblaster]

Also I am located in Vancouver BC Canada if anyone local wants to pair up its even better dealing in person.

One 63Gh/s unit still on hold in cart, lets get this thing purchased!

[sunblaster]

bumps

[sunblaster]

Got few people interested to join, just waiting for contribution. Also someone offered smaller amount then 10BTC, however I am trying to keep this group buy to as few people as possible, for manageability, so looking for investors with 10BTC+

Order is still on hold, there is hope  

[fractal5]

I might be willing to go into this buy. However, I'd like to snag a batch 2 pre-order off of Ebay if a trustworthy source can be found. If that works out then the batch 3 unit can be a 2nd addition. Is it possible you can delay your payment further to arrange for that to be a possibility?

[sunblaster]

Interesting request. However mainly looking for someone to buy-in now, since it's probably a good idea to pay for the unit ASAP.

[sassm430]

Finally I can post

As I I told youn on the PM's  and the emails we have exchanged I am willing to put 15-16 BTC that I have curently in my walet In case you can not consentrade the whole ammount and only a small ammount is missing I am willing to buy them from the free market and add them too.

Please let us know if there have been others willing to contribute and if we are close to the goal!

[sunblaster]

Hey, I have three others like yourself waiting for someone to contribute and get the ball rolling  someone just needs to commit.

[dchou]

I would be in for 25.  Where we at?

[sunblaster]

Have another potentially interested person, I figured once someone actually contributes it will fill up very fast.

[sassm430]

dchou      25
sassm430 16
artem      20
____________
total 61

we are missing another ~13.5

I have one suggestion @ artem everyone send the money directly to Avalon so that way it will me clear and safe for all participants

@dchou please comment the above ? what you think?

the 13.5 if we can not gather maybe we could try to split it beetween us? so then we will be 3 pesons, very small group easy to talk to each other etc etc I could try to find 1 more person intrested but he will have to buy the BTC from free market

that was my 2 cnts

Numbers seems right, I am good for 17-18BTC (daem that exchange rate). Total price is 74.46 shipping included, I didn't PSU.

I wouldn't send BTC directly to Avalon since I my order is ONHOLD, I should probably contact them or BITPAY first and see if it can be paid for and be completed.

Will let you know what answer I get from them.

[Rampion]

On-hold means not paid. Not paid means cancelled unless you have bought 50+ units and paid in RMB by wire transfer.

Avalon batch #3 is sold out and you won't be able to validate an unpaid order ("on hold"), this is 100% guaranteed.

I am going to contact them and see what they say, you are probably correct, however some of the Brach2 orders were given an opportunity to complete the payment, when the order process when haywire.

Keep hope alive

PS: Some people who actually paid got ONHOLD as well - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159879.0

[ninjaboon]

I want to chip in. Do you still need some BTC for the group buy ?

[sunblaster]

With dchou & sassm430 onbord I am 17btc short.

[simonk83]

I may be interested.  Got the coins ready to go, no issue there.  

This is pending identity verification of yourself, and confirmation from the Avalon people that the order will actually go through.    Sort both of those out and I'm in.

[sassm430]

I think that I found another guy who has already a confirmed order but wants to sell he is in NJ If we dont get a confirmation on your order we could all together try o buy his oder , ofcourse everyone should judge at his own

my 2 cnts


PS I edited this since while  I was writing 2 more posts showed up I just want to say that what I said is valid (I am in with the 16BTC) and if needed Maybe I could find more in cash SO to make it short I am in my offer is valid, just wanted to make it clear since I am not a native English speaker so mywriting might got people confused  

@SimonK as said above if Sunblusters orders is not valid we could all together here explore the possibility of buying the other confirmed order (hat includes sunbluster too ofcourse)
@all in that case we could talk on a small realtime chat and evaluate the other order I can pm you the link would not like to make it public I want to have the change to be part of 1 unit since I was late

Waiting for an answer from BitPay or Avalon staff. PM me for id details.

[dchou]

As long as we have a valid order, and we have the total funds necessary, I'm in.

[stallker99]

PM send.

[sunblaster]

No one has sent anything yet, people are just committed to contribute and are on standby for order status update from Avalon.

Got an answer from BitPay that I need to contact Avalon. Hasn't received anything from Avalon team yet.

Hasn't received anything from Avalon team yet.

Oh well - good luck with that. Any contact attempt with Avalon from my side has been reciprocated with pin drop silence.

[Noogsy]

The dude sent me his driver license and power bill!
Seems legit, but with pending info on bitpay I don't think well get any machine.

[shibaji]

Have you guys checked this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=162332.0

May be you as a group can strike a deal with him ?

@subnluster
@all intrested in this group

seems intresting maybe we could have a small group session and decide off public up to what amount we are willing to bid this auction!

please tell me what you think especially you sunbluster since you started all this (ofcourse only if we cant finally get your order, thats obvious but i just mention to make it clear and avoid any misunderstanding)

 

[Matthew N. Wright]

It can be difficult to order now since they're all sold out, but if you guys are still looking for options in a hurry (before there are none left), you can stop by my auction and give it a shot. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=165105 It's not for a 63Gh/s though, it's for an 85Gh/s with PSU shipping next month.

[sunblaster]

Thanks everyone who was interested. At this point I got enough of my own fiat converted to buy the unit if I get a reply from Avalon. I haven't heard anything from them yet, but never know.

Art

PS:  Also, I appreciate for pointing out third party offers, however I generally would like to deal with vendors directly.

[Matthew N. Wright]

You weren't able to purchase one yet? Aren't they all sold out?
