+1 for the deadline.
Also, where is OP going to be shipping from? If they're in the USA, I might be interested in making a face-to-face pickup.

This is my main interest in this thread. Hoping that this goes through and we get an assembly person here in US, it would be way faster than going though the zefir/burnin route, even with the delay in chip ordering. |

+1.
I was going to jump ship today. But, since we are all on the same boat as far as the deadline goes, I'll fish around a bit longer.

Yeah, I'm definitely in it for the USA delivery too.
Also, I'm going to be trying to use one of the local plants here in Oregon to print and assemble the circuit bkkcoins is working on. PM me if you're interested in maybe pooling our chips and getting a group rate.

I'd love a US option to burnin. I have 13 chips, enough for one board +3 left over. I heard rumors about a single chip usb and would be interested in those too if they ever materialize. |

The OP is shipping from CT, USA most probably. Regarding the deadline issue, I have been in talks with Ataxx and OP with deadlines below. Ataxx is waiting an order of his BTC to go through, via a P2P deal at a local Bitcoin meetup, and that he will be dropping around 200BTC+ and covering most if not all of the group buy (previous paid sales will be honored, of course). OP's waiting for MT.Gox, and I expect him to take no longer than Ataxx.

I'm definitely interested in this as I'll have 95 chips to find a PCB home for. Seems like this would be faster than shipping them to Germany and back which could take weeks. |

Wow, I'm late to this party. I'm interested in 30 chips, but I don't know how long it will take to buy bitcoins, and get them transfered, as I've never done that before. Is there still a snowball's chance in hell of me getting some of these?  |

lets get this thing thru before the next zephir batch ! +1 -- There is still space available everyone! And this is an escrow Tx so your precious BTCs aren't going to go poof. |

Is there still a snowball's chance in hell of me getting some of these? If you do so before the next Tues/ Wed that is. Ataxx expects his order for coins via a local bitcoiner to go through before or by then and will be sweeping up the rest of this group buy. |

Alright, I am going to have to call shenanigans on this timeline. Friday was acceptable. I will set a specific time and call/track an actual vote to return funds by a specific time later today unless someone has the time to write it up. I think the criteria should be majority of BTC, so you vote your weight in BTC. I only have 1 BTC in so we will need to contact the major contributors. |

A little update! I originally pledged 17BTC but went up to about 45BTC because some RL friends wanted in on this. I have the 17 BTC ready but I am waiting for my funds to be put into MTGOX so I can buy BTC for my friends, that is why it's delayed. We are still waiting on Mike (Ataxx) to get his BTC (over 150+) from a local bitcoin millionaire in NY (where he lives). It's just the waiting game for us. It is entirely up to the group if you guys want to have a deadline or not but I would be patient. This would have gone a lot faster if we just sent BTC to escrow address first instead of having pledges. We slowed down a lot because a lot of people pledged and then bailed out when they're supposed to be sending BTC. And I do understand that Myself, Ataxx and a few others are the bottleneck of this currently but I'm just saying that I can send my original pledge of 17BTC right now and it would make no difference. I would rather send the 45BTC at the same time. Proof:  P.S I sent this when BTC was lower unfortunately ;/ |

I'm trying to get more people in on the group buy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=187836.0The offer in that post also extends to everyone in this thread. I'll get your chips mounted along with mine for just a 5% markup from my out-of-pocket cost, plus shipping. (And if you're in Oregon, you can always swing by Portland for in-person pickup to save on shipping costs.) |

My take on the deadline issue: there would be no huge difference between getting the order in now and next week as I expect Avalon to ship in stages where orders from a similar time period ships at once. And yes, I'm every part as impatient for this to go through ASAP as this is taking a ton of time for me too. (with the bailing out, re-bailing in, uninformed questions etc etc)
Also, don't forget that zefir and burnin are in switzerland and Germany respectively, so I expect us to get the chips earlier than they do. (less customs issue especially if you're in the states)

I've been moving into my new house. I figured JohnK is the only person right now who can officially confirm BTC sent so my part was done until shipment etc.  I've been answering all PMs and such though I'll try to be more active in the thread so people don't get anxious lol check out my sweet set up!  |
