[shibaji]

Sweet! Less QQ more pew pew! Lets get this order in guys! Send them bitcoins!

What does this even mean ? Also why do you mention "Please do not make me regret this decision!" - what is there to regret ? Either we get full before Ataxx, or Ataxx comes in and fills the rest. Please clarify.

Our lead developer said that he can put together an Asics machine for the chips easily even without Avalon releasing their schematics. We're researching the necessary parts now another step forward!

  Really ?! I would love to know how.

[Rallye]

Ok! I am going with the people! It is opened up again! Send now! Ataxx will get the remaining btc by Sunday. Please do not make me regret this decision! Carry on gents! Send your btc to escrow nao!!

Thank you!  Don't forget to re-open the thread and edit the front page.

Cheers.

Well, we're on the right track again anyway. Hopefully we get this done and settled by Sunday.

I'm going with the crowd. Ataxx is seems like a really powerful friend to have. He is buying 206 btc with cash just like that. He owns and operates city.com and has a lot of influence and friends in high places. Seems like a very resourceful and trustworthy guy. I meant that by opening and letting more btc fill up he will be able to buy less so I hope he's not too mad about that. Because originally he wanted in for at least 100 btc.

All operations a go! Lets get on the train again! Choo Choo!

How long have you known Ataxx?  I hate to point out that he was just in newbie jail a few days ago.

True but he's provided me with sufficient proof for me to trust him.

But anyway you guys are right first come first serve.

Sorry about the confusion. Have a good night everyone!

Can anybody tell me what the amount should be for 100 chips with fees and everything? I can't make sense of the spreadsheet. I've sent a couple of messages to the OP, but I'm sure he's swamped right now.

I just sent my 6.83077137BTC from address 1Dq9q8MBbXFVSSHBtoysxnMwRzeG6rGtTo, just to ensure I don't get kicked out again, or miss the boat if somebody comes in and closes the buy early by making a large payment...

I will submit the balance if/when the seller I just bought another 2 BTC comes through with his end of the bargain.

As far as signing my account, do I just need to copy and paste the text of the contract into the message, or what?

Ragingazn, glad to hear you're still here and on board.

As far as signing my account, do I just need to copy and paste the text of the contract into the message, or what?

As far as I can tell, simply posting the link to your transaction on blockchain.info is sufficient.

Added. The chip calculator says you need 8.03BTC in total, so you're needing 1.19922863BTC more.
Signing is not mandatory unless there's conflicts where someone else claims your balance or the balance stays unclaimed for too long.

Got it. Will forward the balance as soon as it arrives, provided I haven't missed the boat. In the meantime, here's the blockchain link for my payment: https://blockchain.info/tx/883e85f8e5a58918975a2284205b73e009e40ca3f77c32753740f1da9e7bfcb1

Alright everyone we raised 115 BTC in the last 24 hours! 85 BTC to close this out should be a piece of cake!

my responsibility for the funds stop at the point when the funds are in to Avalon.

Are you involved with making sure we get the chips from OP?

He has OP's home address and proof of identity.

As per the contract, JohnK is only responsible for buying the chips to the address OP has provided.  OP has presumably provided a driver's license and bills for this address.  FWIW OP has tons of reputation and will only get more positive rep from this. He will be very careful to do it right, quickly, and make no snap judgments IMO.

[AMuppInTime]

Agreed.

Oops, I forgot in my post, as a digest for anyone lazy -> escrow holder will hold OP's identity in escrow for legal action, too.  

So there's that, since these are ~103,000 USD in real goods, we cross the bar for legal action.

[skang]

I want to buy 1 BTC worth.

What is the procedure? Should I simply edit the sheet and then send to the address? Or do I pm JohnK?
Also, in case I need it shipped outside US, when will the shipping cost be figured out and paid?
