Added you guys!

[goodney]

Woah! ryanfromrethink what's your plan for all those chips?

[DrG]

Will an escrow be used to collect the payment? Perhaps John K?

I don't think anybody on these forums should be comfortable swinging 782BTC around.

Tip him 5BTC for the work of documenting the group buy and have him forward the BTC to Avalon.

guys guys guys... ill be glad to pay someone a little extra if anyone can ship me an assembled chip.. maybe some donation ill be giving would be my little "thank you". i've seen the page, but im not really an electronics engineer or enthusiast

[Tomatocage]

You guys are using escrow to hold these funds, right?

With 9-10 weeks lead time for the chips to be made, plus the time to ship, and the time to build a working system from these chips.  You are looking at least 3 months if not longer for a working system.  Batch 3 will be shipped in half the that time and will earn you 40+ bitcoins (assuming 4x increase in difficulty) by the time you gets your homemade avalon asic system running and who knows how much higher the difficulty will be in 3-4 months...  But I am still in for 60 chips (5 BTC) just for the fun of it!  It is not all about making absurd profit..   This is not to say I don't like profit, but I am happy either way for not having to spend/risk too much money.

The value of batch 3 @ 75 BTC for 65 GHash (230 chips) then each 1 chip = 0.28 GHash = 0.33 BTC.

The value of 10,000 chips if priced in an avalon would have cost 3300 BTC = 2800 GHash.  

So a 10,000 chip order for 780 BTC is a steal - about 0.078 BTC/chip.  24% of the batch 3 costs (of course I understand that this doesn't include the remaining costs to build the full miner).

I would only be interested in a group buy if I didn't have to build the unit myself.  If someone planned on building/maintaining a rig, I would buy some shares.  I like the cost value, but I know I could never build a working miner from the chips.

I'm interested: 10BTC

Thanks!

[DPoS]

put me down for 3 BTC

curiosity, history and maybe some mining 

[SebastianJu]

about 230 chips in an Avalon = 65Ghash

780 = 2.82 Thash or 2820Ghash

MOTHER OF GOD!!! lol

Somethings odd with your numbers. 230 chips = 65GH and 780 chips = 2820GH? I think it cant be 230 chips...

[Bogart]

There are 240 chips in a regular Avalon, not 230.

3 modules, each made up of 8 submodules, of 10 chips each.

Put me in for 2 BTC!

Will there be escrow for this order?  I might be able to find some additional funds.

[Todamont]

Yes, my first post out of the newb section! Put me down for 1.5 btc please. I have a degree in computer engineering and experience building PCBs, I can help the design along, or I'll just produce my own. I'm interested in making single or double-chip USB miners.

[perseus]

Hi,

Put me down for 2 BTC worth of chips.

Thx!

[sun]

Put me down for one bitcoin, please! It's been a while since I made a PCB, but it might be fun to dig out the ol' soldering iron and play around a little...

[alexuk]

put me down for 20BTC

[jeprokzki]
