[Group Buy#1] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as escrow! FINISHED!

[Rallye]

Hey I'm about to send my 20 BTC payment tonight.  But before I do I just want to make sure I understand everything clearly.  Could someone with a good knowledge of all this contact me so I can get some questions answered?  I would really appreciate that.

Come on guys, lets get this order out the door.
Time is money

John. I am interested in having my order shipped directly to Burnin for assembly, save some time in process. I'll pay for any additional shipping costs. If this is doable, can we setup some kind of confirmation method between the involved parties, similar to what they do on zefirs group buy?

Thanks

You'll have to PM ragingazn628 - I am only the escrow here.

[Bicknellski]

ragingazn628 please start/continue PMming people who haven't paid or gauging interest in replacing spots with other parties... aka earn the 1% fee and get this order in!  I know there's interest as zefir continues to get payments on his thread.

I'd switch this to a first-pledged, first-served group buy.  Calculate how many chips remain in the spreadsheet and edit the OP to say we've still got some availability.  24 hours in and not half of the funds have been collected... Waiting for non-payers hurts everyone.  Avalon has sold at least 500,000 chips at this point in time (https://blockchain.info/address/1FGAftzSTztFSB8LMwsrdCKTyqGY6zr3sU) and the longer till the order is placed the further back in the production queue we go.

+1 Yup!

PS: I've sent out the PM's around 7 hours ago. I have a few confirmations in with various timelines, hopefully this gets done before this Friday. This is starting to make me feel like the organizer now.

Ask here or PM me/ragingazn628.

Also, given the amount of people who seem to love pulling out the last minute and wasting all our time, please just send the coins in to the escrow if you want to get your place in. This should go like a first come first serve basis based on the coin input now.

It would be very useful to know how much is needed for the order to be complete. Is the title 714.4/780 still valid ? Implies 65.6 btc needed ?

Take a look at the spreadsheet - I had too much people pulling out the last minute that updating that number wasn't worth it.
It's at 693.614~BTC though of the 780 needed. I have confirmation from the biggest buyers here (OP himself and Ataxx) that they'll pay in a couple of days after gathering funds, and probably soak up more chips.

I'm interested.  Count me in for 50BTC.  Do I just need to send and then post the transaction?  Not trying to be lazy, but I don't have the time to read the whole thread right now (going to sleep), but I wanted to make sure I'm involved.

Yes. Please calculate how much chips you would like (take a quick look at the spreadsheet) and send accordingly. To get an even amount of chips, you'll have to send a bit more or less than 50BTC exactly.

Where's the OP?  I'd feel better if he were answering these questions.  The last I head is that he said something about being a part of a group of engineers that have big asic plans.  I'd like to know more about those plans, (as may of us here will need that kind of expertise.  Myself included).  Are any of them in the bitcointalk community?  Just hearing from them here would go miles towards building trust here.  John is only responsible for the coins.  Ragingazn has ultimate responsibility for the chips.  And, yes I do agree with these terms.

I'm in for 20 coins.  Raging has said he will post his coins (about 40) in a few days.

He's probably sleeping now due to timezones as he's in US. As per what he said, he wants to get the preorder in first before doing the ASICs. There's too much incentive to send the order in first as this is a queue for the chips.

Yes. Please calculate how much chips you would like (take a quick look at the spreadsheet) and send accordingly. To get an even amount of chips, you'll have to send a bit more or less than 50BTC exactly.

Looks like 52.802 for approx 660 chips.  Look about right?   (entered 51.48 in column B)
