[Closed]Avalon Chips - 0.081 BTC (Global+Escrow)-BATCH2 SECURED

[DobZombie]

I'm gettin excited

I recon we'll be hashing away before even before my August 2012 BFL order arrives!

[John (John K.)]

Awesome! So when is the order being placed?

yes, same question here. hope it was already ordered / order will be placed today.)

This is going to be one of those hurry up and wait situations. Direct from the Avalon website and also on the first page of this thread..."the lead time on the chips is 9 to 10 weeks."

IMHO, that's a conservative estimate. Still, entering the order a few days from now isn’t going to change anything.

The main factor is that this group buy closed fast - before the end of May. Major props all around!

I'm currently sorting out the payments, making sure everything is ok, processing refunds and passing everything to John to do.
Hopefully, i will finish in an hour and notify John to pay for the batch today.

Regards

Awesome - guess this just caught me when I'm back.  Just drop me a PM to confirm your address and stuff, and I'll pop the order in ASAP after I get the key from the safe. The sorting can be done in the meantime as the amount of chips and total payment will not change anyway.

Why do I image opening a 5' tall gun safe fully stocked along with gold, silver and a folder full of printed QR codes?

3 TRANSACTIONS TO BE CONFIRMED, WHICH BRING US ABOVE 810 BTC. THE CHIPS SOLD OUT, PLEASE STOP SENDING BTC!

I either timed that very well or very badly, let me know which  or 

Hi, to be honest, i think you timed it badly.. But no worries, i'm going to open another batch very soon. Let's use the hype of the last days and finish that one in notime.

Regards

According to the block explorer here

http://blockexplorer.com/address/12o8iQqAve6yN6QnjhVg1yuaASb66jPJhs

My payment and another in block 237257 took it up to 808.552

If I have missed this can you get johnk to send the coins back

Thanks

Yes, sure. I don't know if you have made it or not. Sorry about that, but there are lots of orders at the end and it's a real pain to sort it out.  I will refund the btc if you haven't gotten in, or you can opt to have the order pushed to the new batch. However you choose.

  That's about it I guess.

I've sent in the order and forwarded the order email to OP.

What's 10317?

Also, this might be late to ask but will it be an issue with me getting the chips etc to Australia?

Hi, the 10317 is the order number Avalon gave us.
There will be no issue in that, DHL is everywhere. Or FedEx.. or TNT..

[John (John K.)]

Order #10317 made on May 22, 2013. Order status: processing.

From Avalon's own system, processing means that they've confirmed the receipt of the coins, and the order is officially done. 

[t13hydra]

Thank you all for your time, efforts and orders.

For the sake of being fair, i will give up my orders for the two persons, who happened to order a bit late:
CryptoMaster and Tigggger, both of you have got a place in this batch. i've give a long thought to this and i have decided that i will have my own chips anyway, with a later batch, eventually.

Welcome aboard this batch. I'll update the main post too, as soon as i get to my laptop.

Best regards to all and see you in a few hours for the second batch! Got to go feed my son...

What a great move, respect for that!

Refunds and all fees paid out.

Now to hope they ship out soon.

Thanks for the very kind gesture, but now I feel really bad taking your own personal chips given all the time and effort you've put into organising this.

As we discussed in PM, when I ordered I checked the blockchain and the most recent posts saw it was about 200 short and thought I would buy in to get it over the line, I was trying to help and ended up making it worse.

If you change your mind and want them back at any time no need to ask, just send the btc and they are yours again.

PS: This is for the 2nd batch of group buy OP requested for.

I'm gettin excited

I recon we'll be hashing away before even before my August 2012 BFL order arrives!

Yes, may be... I don't know, but i have a huch that BFL is hashing away on our devices right now. It's called "testing the device" ....
There's no way they could be THIS late for all our orders, but anyway.. i'll stick to my plan: chips, then boards, then we'll see. Maybe a security fund

[t13hydra]

News!
2013-05-23:
- Batch number one Ordered:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4EbABa_SLVRekVtU3k1d2NPazg/edit?usp=sharing
- Batch number two Open. If we move well, we will have the chips in hand by the end of August. I will try to aquire as much funding as i can, to finish the order quick!
- I have a final price of 85 Eur for the Klondike16, 16 chip miner. I still have to get quotation for the heatsinks and fans, but the final price covers all.
- The chips cost 0.083: Why? a:) There is a lot of work managing the order. Also there is responsibility. You can't joke with people's money. I'm putting my unslept hours during the night into all this and i want to make sure you get the device you have paid for. I'm here for the long-run. Also, my identity has been confirmed by John. No funny business, no inexistent addresses.
- I'm opening up the idea of "Hosting". No need to send several kilograms across the globe. You will have the opportunity to leave the miner here in Romania, using cheap electricity, being up 99% and being able to control the miner remotely. I will have a chilled environment, secure location, with two internet providers (one for backup) and dedicated support person in case of any emergency. I'll also post some pictures of the place soon.
