...Looks promising but the group buy is a very odd process to me. I've never seen anything like it online. You just blindly trust someone will take your coin and mail you chips? It kinda feels like lemmings to the sea . . .
But what other way is there to purchase Avalon chips you know? I personally can not afford 10k worth alone?
I think the majority of people cannot afford $780,000+ for chips. The way Avalon is selling these chips is brilliant, in my opinion. If they sold chips individually, how many people would even know what to do with them? Buy selling them in batches of 10,000, they are indirectly creating alliances among bitcoin miners, who will in turn, create new ASIC products. This goes in line with their philosophy of decentralization.
