So, 8.04 btc for 100 chips right ? Please confirm and I will send now. It is complex to compute.

Should be 8.03 if you're a new addition to the list.

Yes, new addition.

Sent 8.03 btc:

Thanks. Hoping that OP can find an assembler in US itself.

I've cleared out a few non-responding pledgees.

Looks like on the spreadsheet I am getting 99.9999 chips, and it says to round down. Should I send few more mBTC to clear that up ? 99 chips are hard to mount on board - even number is better - that's why I was trying to compute for 100 chips.

Nah, according to the OP 99.99999 is getting 100.

Confirmed .9999999999... = 1

1/3 = .3333333333...

.3333333333... * 3 = .9999999999...

3 * (1/3) = 1

therefore

.9999999999... = 1

MIND BLOWN!

@ ragingazn628 :

Please see if you can get the assembly done in US without back and forth with burnin's group - this will have significant advantage. I bought in your group with this hope (this is not a binding expectation, but a hope). Thanks!

There's discussion on this few pages back - OP stated he's in talks with local engineers to get this done though.

Ok, great - but this sort of discussion needs to be linked to OP - massively helps (a direct link to relevant post would do). Also the original post would benefit from some organized writing. This is just the ordering phase. Things will get more complex with passing days.

Also I can see that John is doing the bulk of the work here (read > 90%). I realize that 1% is too little comp for ragingazn (compare to 10% for zefir). So, may be he can get involved a little more, and raise his comp as well (to 5% or so). He is underestimating the massive work coming towards him - I would hate to see this fail completely if he feels demotivated by looking at work/comp ratio.

I will be working on a similar "build" plan that Ragin's trying to do in the USA, for those in Indonesia, and I would be interested in working specifically with people in Jakarta if they are interested.

Let Ragin get more details first I think then he can post another thread for everyone like Burin/Alten and DIY post. Let's keep getting MORE BTC in... we want to BUY this week right? Focus on getting more people to pay is the key right now... the BUILD focus can be after we get the purchasing in the bag.

Hey I'm trying to figure out how much of my budget I have left to spend on chips.  I'm looking at the DIY thread and reading the BOM document trying to figure out how much it will cost me to build these machines.  The only thing I don't understand is how man of each part I will need per Avalon chip.  and the numbers 1+, 10+, 100+ etc, means if I buy this many, they will cost this much each right?

nebiz is currently helping us redo the messy spreadsheet we have now. Thanks again!

Awesome, thats good to hear.  I'd love to send another 6 BTC before I go to bed tonight, but I just have no idea how much i need to save for other supplies.  I mean looking at the BOM as it is, all I can gather is that its going to cost me about 8 dollars in materials per chip.  which is obviously not true, but I can't really make any other estimates without either having some more information, or better understanding the information that is given.  Does anyone have even a rough estimate of how much it will cost per chip at 500+ chips total?

You get 12.8205 chips per BTC if I'm not wrong, excluding the 2.5% fees and fixed 0.035 shipping fees. Play with the current spreadsheet to get an idea of how much you're getting.

sorry, what I mean is I am trying to figure out how much it is going to cost me in supplies per chip, eg. power supply, PCB's, resistors, capacitors, etc.  I'm having trouble figuring this out using the current spreadsheet.

[Rallye]

If anyone can give me any kind of rough estimate within the next 10 minutes, I can put in another 6-10 bitcoins before I sleep.

Not sure about that as we're only doing a group buy for purely chips currently. I expect OP to inform you the costs should you prefer to have him manufacture the boards from the chips though.

Nah, according to the OP 99.99999 is getting 100.

I hope 94.997 is close enough. I can send the .003 if needed   edit: nevermind, new spreadsheet!

Also, thanks for making the process easy for everyone, John. I'm sure we all appreciate the time you're putting in here.
