Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open tomorrow 2/18 Post by: nathanrees19 on February 17, 2013, 11:43:07 PM Does anyone want to take bets on whether the sale actually goes as planned this time?
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open tomorrow 2/18 Post by: MonsterZero on February 18, 2013, 12:12:01 AM I'm 100% sure they didn't get the money for the parts before CNY :D I remember that was their big batch #2 push.
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open tomorrow 2/18 Post by: cypherdoc on February 18, 2013, 12:16:39 AM so do you have to create an account to make an order? why isn't there an option to do this in the store?
do you have to have a Wordpress account and who will be the payment processor? if its Bitpay or WalletBit, do you have to have and account with them also? Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open tomorrow 2/18 Post by: subi on February 18, 2013, 12:21:12 AM Lots of threads on this, still no confirmation on if able to order with a credit card accepting payment service?

No you do not have to create an account. You can fill out the information and submit the order. This will then send you to Walletbit for payment. Sent BTC as a guest. This will give you an address to send the amount of BTC too. Once you sent payment wait a couple mins and you will receive a confirmation email from both Walletbit AND Avalon Asic. This has been tested and confirmed by myself. Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open tomorrow 2/18 Post by: wknight on February 18, 2013, 01:00:13 AM Lots of threads on this, still no confirmation on if able to order with a credit card accepting payment service? No you cannot order with any credit card service. Avalon accepts Bitcoin and Bitcoin only as currency. If you like you can use Bitinstant to transfer money from a store to mtgox and buy Bitcoin. Money Transfers take about 30-45 minutes in most cases. Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open tomorrow 2/18 Post by: wknight on February 18, 2013, 01:02:04 AM Hmm, yeah but where are the batch 1 units?!? Please refer to all updates for shipments here. http://www.btcmu.info/articles/145-miner-speculation-who-holds-the-cards.html This should answer any questions you may have.

No, you can pay as guest from your Bitcoin Wallet.Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: Dhomochevsky on February 18, 2013, 09:39:49 AM Thanks. One more question - any idea how much shipping costs? Is it included in the unit price or is it extra? While at it, were there any other fees when you guys ordered the first time in the second batch?

Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: Dhomochevsky on February 18, 2013, 12:19:18 PM Ok, another question - If I send the money to my WalletBit account, when the time comes and ordering opens on the store can I pay straight from Walletbit somehow? Are there any advantages to doing so (faster payment, confirmation or whatever)? Or is it just the same as paying as a guest?
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: BitSyncom on February 18, 2013, 12:22:04 PM there's no real benefit.
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: Beepbop on February 18, 2013, 12:32:09 PM In case of technical issues arising again though, I think WalletBit prefers if you send the money from a bitcoin address that you also can receive money to. At least that's what they preferred last time, since it would make less manual work for refunding partial payments.
I wouldn't deposit BTC to WalletBit though - they take a percentage fee from it. As for the avalon store, it takes a WordPress account, so registering before ordering is recommended (by me at least) ;D Edit: Link for registering: http://store.avalon-asics.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register (I have no affailiation with any ASIC manufacturer.) Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: fresca on February 18, 2013, 12:50:58 PM Thanks Beebop.
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: cypherdoc on February 18, 2013, 01:00:17 PM there's no real benefit. yifu, will there be an option to order 4 modules per unit and how much will that be? Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: bvoid on February 18, 2013, 01:02:43 PM OMG what a fail, the countdown counter on the homepage went to zero, and then continued counting down below zero :')
Anyone succeeded to order something? Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: Dhomochevsky on February 18, 2013, 01:11:30 PM Wait, where did you see that? I thought ordering was done from http://store.avalon-asics.com ?

Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: dopamine on February 18, 2013, 01:19:13 PM was looking at the count down launch :D
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: shmadz on February 18, 2013, 02:01:24 PM tempted to attempt a purchase from batch 2.1 solely to see what comes first,
a shipment from avalon (when very few confirmed shipments have appeared, from batch 1 shipping, like a month ago?) or shipment from bfl (who hasn't even built the device yet, and no idea when my order from early feb might arrive, if ever?) - meh, if I'm expecting the price of bitcoin to correct back down to around $15-20, then it's not that bad of a gamble? like 50 or 60 btc? I'm thinking I'm gonna order one just to see how the race finishes ;D -- though judging from the last preorder fiasco, I probably won't even get my order in, and all of this is moot... let the chaos begin! Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: cosurgi on February 18, 2013, 02:03:37 PM I tried adding to cart, but I get "You cannot add that product to the cart since the product is out of stock."
It's sold out 60 seconds after reopen? EDIT: it was 334 in stock, now is 330, but still I can't add to cart. Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: Vicus on February 18, 2013, 02:04:42 PM No, right now I see 330 in stock :)

Last time around there was no (obvious) way to pay from your own wallet. If you sign-out and checkout again then you should get the option to pay from your own wallet. Bad interface.Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: bvoid on February 18, 2013, 02:10:10 PM Do you have to pay to make your order valid?
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: Beepbop on February 18, 2013, 02:11:07 PM Sign in to the avalon store (or you will see other people's shopping carts again). Do not sign in to walletbit. Right?

I cannot "add to cart".Not sure, I created a Avalon ASIC Store account beforehand but I don't know if it's required. I created a walletbit account but did not sign-in since I see no way to pay from my own wallet if I do that.

It amounts to like three dollars! What a joke. I spent too many BTC before this. I'll watch the clock tick down and wonder what it would have been like to see the inside of an ASIC box. Ce la vie!
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: freeman on February 18, 2013, 02:15:28 PM Do you have to pay to make your order valid? On the walletbit checkout page, there was a countdown timer (about 7 minutes). That must be for their UI since the bitcoin transaction won't confirm in that time. Last time around it seemed liked they gave you a long time to complete your payment. That was a gigantic cock-up though so maybe it will work differently this time.Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: HorseRider on February 18, 2013, 02:16:22 PM walletbit is down again. I have paid the coin to the address but have not received the confirming email as days ago. And the page lead me back to the check out page again. So I guess today Avalon will receive bitcoins more than 300 units.
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: rampone on February 18, 2013, 02:16:40 PM Same like jgarzik. walletbit shows ... repeatedly after sending the btc...
And now after paying and valid time counted down i got sent back to the store... Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: cypherdoc on February 18, 2013, 02:17:28 PM got a problem. was able to get an address to send to from WalletBit. sent full payment to said address apparently successfully but checkout cart, in WalletBit, got stuck at that point in thinking mode.
after waiting about 7 min, i got kicked back one window to the checkout cart and got a notice that my order failed. coins are already gone and i'm waiting for confirmations from the network. never got a success message from WalletBit. never got a confirmation email sent from Avalon or WalletBit. Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: rampone on February 18, 2013, 02:18:01 PM It also says when sent back: order cancelled
Only have screen shot, no email no nothing.... Well that escalated quickly i guess TX ID: 6c7e97569eb62b87e9de12aeff7122853af0ef61007851e4b5947e7fa05a4735 Order #1409 56.82106592 btc Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: arsenische on February 18, 2013, 02:19:03 PM got a problem. was able to get an address to send to from WalletBit. sent full payment to said address apparently successfully but checkout cart, in WalletBit, got stuck at that point in thinking mode. after waiting about 7 min, i got kicked back one window to the checkout cart and got a notice that my order failed. coins are already gone and i'm waiting for confirmations from the network. never got a success message from WalletBit. never got a confirmation email sent from Avalon or WalletBit. same happened to me Update: received order confirmation to my mailbox Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: fresca on February 18, 2013, 02:19:44 PM It's sold out. When I refresh back of the timer, it says no longer available. The remaining says 327, but it probably just takes a while to propagate down to zero.

I clicked the link it gave, but it showed an error saying my wallet was already opened, so I just sent payment to the address it showed me... I hope this worked, it's kinda exciting/scary to just randomly throw bitcoins around though, I felt much more secure about my credit card purchase from "that other ASIC company" Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: TwinTurbo on February 18, 2013, 02:21:45 PM Well, I just ordered 4 units, but it didn't go smoothly so far.
I created an account on Avalon's page, entered all my details, added 4 units to the cart and then headed to check-out. Once there, the timer started counting down. I checked out as a guest (no walletbit account). The timer continued counting down regardless, even after I sent the coins. The clock hit zero, returned me to the Avalon cart, and a message at the top said "Your order was cancelled." Nice. I'm going to be pissed if I just lost 227 bitcoins into the void. For the record, I was order #1561. Anyone else have this experience? Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: diego1000 on February 18, 2013, 02:21:55 PM same problem here:

wtf? Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: wknight on February 18, 2013, 02:25:37 PM Since a few people on Freenode also had issues.. mostly they hit a timeout on sending bitcoins because walletbit timed out..

Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: riqpit on February 18, 2013, 02:41:11 PM While I did receive WalletBit email confirmation, the Avalon store shows my order (1185) status as cancelled. After being prompted for BTC app, it left a blank page and the other WalletBit window timing down; with no other prompts to follow. Should I being jumping around laughing or screaming like a madman/pisssed OFF??

Order was pending, but received receipt mail from Walletbit shortly after and 20 seconds after that a confirmation from Avalon. Order was changed from "pending" to "processing". Received a second email from Walletbit with the same receipt.
So, until now: Order number 2241 Receipt from Walletbit: yes, twice Confirmation from Avalon: yes Order status: Processing (upgraded from "Pending") Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: cypherdoc on February 18, 2013, 03:01:00 PM ok, there's the Avalon email. i'm good.

Got two identical receipt emails from Walletbit (lol) and I've both created a helpdesk ticket with Avalon and emailed Walletbit and Avalon with all documentation showing that my payment was within the time alloted, and asking that my order not be rebuffed (because Avalon lists it as "canceled"). Walletbit responded to my support request email! Quote We are are of this issue. If you paid your then your order was successful despite it saying cancelled. We will be following up with confirmation emails shortly. Sincerely, Adam So this bodes well for us "order shown as canceled" avalon customers, or possibly for the lowest numbered ones in case they allowed more people to pay than they had units to offer. :Q__ (I would have posted all this a good half an hour ago too, if it wasn't for the meddling newbie posting limits ;P) Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: ArticMine on February 18, 2013, 03:05:09 PM Got confirmation email from walletbit and avalon despite 10m counter timing out. yeah, systems are a bit slow, but everything is checking out so far, hold your horses guys. I started trying to order at 6:00 am PST an hour ago and still have not been able to place an order after multiple attempts. The furthest I got was entering the shipping information only to be greeted with a various errors. And why the the number of units in the shopping cart keep changing to some random number between 0 and 20 when all I am looking for is one unit. I am not going to be holding my horses after this fiasco.

I also had 2 orders I had to cancel the first time around (I was logged in to Walletbit and missed the option to pay as a guest; got stuck at the secure card thing and then when Walletbit said I didn't have enough balance). Now they were showing as "pending", probably Yifu changed them wholesale. Since at my third try the order went thru and I have it on "processing", I canceled the first two again. Just wanted to say sorry if this messed up your tally, guys.

Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: cosurgi on February 18, 2013, 04:48:32 PM I created an account on walletbit, only to find out that I must be logged off in order to pay. Otherwise it would ask me for some "secure card" which I obviously don't have. And I couldn't even disable this secure card in account settings (and it's enabled by default).
EDIT: but since I was logged off, I have no idea how walletbit knew where to send the order confirmation.

They pass your details along with how much you must pay. Some don't like this, but it sure helps in case there's a mess-up with the ordering process. Also Walletbit is in the EU so it has to comply with its anti-whitewashing and anti-terrorfunding regulations. They must have your name.Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: wknight on February 18, 2013, 05:08:20 PM 128 still in stock.. GET SOME

It will sell, but even if it didn't they'd just make the number that's been ordered. Avalon has said that they're strictly build-to-order. In other words, they're not like Walmart. They're like a company that Walmart orders 3000 pickaxes from; they don't buy the wood and steel for the pickaxes until Walmart has made the order. Walmart has to take the risk that the pickaxes won't sell, and they'll have to take care of warehousing costs. Inventory is a major concern in modern commerce - often you'll have large assets tied up in inventory that may go unsold, or at least has to be insured, guarded from burglary and fire, storage space rent paid, etc.Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open tomorrow 2/18 Post by: ralree on February 18, 2013, 05:25:54 PM Hmm, yeah but where are the batch 1 units?!? +1 Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: Herodes on February 18, 2013, 05:30:25 PM Do anyone have answers to these questions: - If a unit is damaged in transit and as a result of that or something is DOA, can it be exchanged for a new unit ? - What if a unit just stops working after a couple weeks or months, is there any kind of guarantee offered? - Is there insurance for shipping ?

Might want to also check how much it will cost you to ship 15kg to China, cause if there's a problem you'll at least be out that. Haha - good point! :) Here's the fine print, copied from their check out: Quote Read this first before considering purchasing batch #2 Avalon ASIC. The no bullshit, no fine print terms of sale We Accept Bitcoin Only – Bitcoin allow us to collect large sum of assets in a short period of time, and due their nature the bitcoins can also be move to where they are suppose to go in a similar time frame. We are aware this will introduce Import issues for certain EU and SA countries. Avalon ASIC hope re-sellers will take this opportunity to grow and take care of this problem. No Refunds - The Avalon units are made on a built-to-order basis. This means when you place an order, your bitcoins are used to order parts to construct your Avalon Unit. Refunds therefore are impossible. Utilizing a short time frame, batch based, and built-to-order method allows to manage finances properly and reduce risk for all parties. e.g. Avalon ASIC, the re-sellers and the buyers. Limited Customer Support - The Avalon team is comprised of a small group of capable people; however, we are also extremely limited in manpower. Every one of us handles multitude of tasks, and for this reason we will have very limited customer support. No news is good news. We apologize for this, but we do not expect this situation to change until batch three is in its production to shipping stage. Trade-Ins - Avalon will continue to honor our old customers providing trade-in programs of old generations units, FPGA, and in the future for first generation ASIC modules. The Trade-In Orders are not part of the 600 unit limitation existing in Batch #2 and will be continue be honored until April 1st, 2013. The Potential Risks - Avalon ASIC will not be responsible for if a bitcoin bug is introduced rendering it useless between the period of time a batch of Avlaon units are being built. - Avalon ASIC will not be responsible for any bitcoin price fluctuation between the time the order is placed to the time the units are delivered. - Avalon ASIC will not be responsible for if a proper Integrated Circuit company like AMD enters the market and produce a full-custom ASIC chip. Please evaluate your mining projections properly when purchasing Avalon ASIC. Please read this carefully, as with all things Bitcoin one should treat this as an investment and make the decision best for you based on the liquid-able funds available at the moment when placing an order. Basically, anyone ordering, is doing a 1500 USD gamble then. Perhaps you will come out on the other end happy, perhaps you will not, perhaps one idiot will toss your package somewhere on it's path to you, or it is squeezed between a couple other big heavy objects and become broken, sorry, no returns, and no chance to do any chargebacks then. So really, if you order, then you should be ready to write off 1500 USD the moment you order.

Trade-ins aren't available for this second batch, or are they? If they are I must have missed the option to have a trade-in during checkout or something, because I paid full price for the units and didn't see any possibility for a trade-in.

If it's been thrown under a truck, then the shipping company has to pay for the damage. It might be hard to get them to pay for consequential damages though. If you miss a month of mining due to the damage, the shipper probably won't pay for that. You/Avalon will probably only be compensated up to the value of the item (if they chose the appropriate shipping method/insurance). Let's hope they didn't declare it as a "gift" with "value 10 bucks" when they sent it, or DHL might just give you 10 bucks in compensation for your flattened ASIC and take the aluminium for themselves ;D. (15 kg of aluminium is worth almost 30 USD on the open market.)
The "no refunds" bit is to avoid guys that order an ASIC now and chickens out because Bitcoin becomes unpopular tomorrow or something like that. Whatever Avalon says they ARE responsible for delivering to you the specified product, and that it sort of works. They are NOT responsible if tomorrow some hacker breaks the Bitcoin protocol and buys all the weed on Silk Road for himself. Avalon delivers an ASIC that mines Bitcoin. They don't deliver a machine that creates gold out of thin air.

There was inventory available! I couldn't believe my luck! I was logged into Walletbit. I was short of funds in my Walletbit wallet. I kept web pages open, went on a jaunt to the bank, which is closed for the holiday, thence to the ATM, and then the MoneyGram location. Moved funds to my Walletbit account, waited for 6 confirmations. Worried I would be an ASIC wannabe. I returned to the shopping card, re-activated the "proceed to checkout" button. I did get the pesky message asking for the "Secure Card" digits. On the Walletbit dashboard, I clicked on "three-factor" (secure card) That took me to this page. https://walletbit.com/businesstools/manage-account-and-personal-notifications#securecard I both added this card to my bookmarks bar, and also printed it. It may be a one time pad. You read the alphanumeric at the coordinates, and type them in. When I did that, the order went through.

But the 2 orders that were canceled are now pending. Does that mean I can purchase the 2 orders now? Has anybody else experienced the same thing? Any feedback would be great!

PM him, BitSyncom, and give him a Bitcoin address where he can see that you have 6-confirmed funds ready to pay, and request that he change your status back to pending. If there is another unpaid order, he can simply restore yours before he cancels that one without generating that much more chaos. You might include a user experience report as well, to help improve the future.

Now that I know what it is, I think that keeping the secure card, but with an obvious link on the page, e.g., your secure card here, is the way to go. Precisely, there was no explanation that I/my colleagues could see to explain what the hell the securecard part of the payment process was at the checkout, the knowledge seemed to be assumed. We had to go back to the main walletbit site, find the info, and even when we found the securecard bit, it still didn't explain what the hell it was. This was not helped by us frantically trying to make our order before out basket timed out. We eventually figured it out, and the one time card idea is pretty neat. But it was so different that it confused, and confusing is not good in a time crunch.

Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: dopamine on February 20, 2013, 02:53:47 AM the checkout was great with walletbit but confusing because once you made the payment it just counts down and does nothing and no quick email reply once payment was received or some sort of confirmation would of been nice... I got lucky but not so lucky because I wasn't able to get another one due to limits on mtgox withdrawal, had enough bitcoins but no access to all of them, kinda like a bank giving you limits to your own money :(

Could that mean another 19 units where purchased after the said "Out of Stock" notification popped up? I have no idea when that date was thrown up there.

And yes, I'm dumb because I placed the order the very day I saw BFL inventing such a ridiculous excuse such as "it's president way, we called and they responded, but our guy there was on holiday". No news until now, ridiculous is not enough. So I think that I did the right choose with this order, but I don't like dates being pushed foward the day after I order.

Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: crazyearner on February 21, 2013, 10:35:56 PM has anyone's status changed from processing? Nothing here yet still saying processing. Must be still dealing with batch #1 orders and making final shipping to them. I would like to see where they are upto with the first batch tho and where the first 300 units are at and who has actually got theirs. Am sure with the spikes in network power theirs more testing coming online and am sure their will be some out of that 300 solo mining as I have seen a big increase in Unknown status ie solo mining so more must be coming online and some people keeping quite about them. We can only wait and see, like myself am now waiting in batch #2 and would love to get it up and running before BFL. I would of gone to BFL but the amount of misleading emails I have had from them claiming if I order now it will be shipped out in May and many people have been waiting over a year so I cant understand how this is possible for BFL to claim will be shipped when theirs no doubt 10s of thousands of orders waiting to be sent out. If BFL do produce a product then I will buy from them once I see people are getting their units. Until then it is Avalon who is getting my custom and I hope they provide some bigger units in the future but using less power. Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: Aseras on February 22, 2013, 06:48:27 PM Even batch one never updated past payment completed.

Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: cosurgi on February 22, 2013, 09:25:53 PM I wonder if people who ordered will mine back those 56 BTC...
Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: shmadz on February 23, 2013, 04:03:57 AM We'd get about 1 BTC a day and it goes downhill from there. I get the feeling that there will indeed be a point where you will never get your investment back, like you might make half your investment back in the first two weeks, then half the remainder in the following two weeks, and so on. just like if you take a step towards a wall, and your next step is half the distance between you and that wall, and your next step is half the remaining distance again, and repeat, you will never reach the wall (though you will get very close), and the changing price of the bitcoins themselves may help you recover the costs in terms of dollars, but you may never return those 56 (in my case) bitcoins that you spent in the first place... personally, I'm hopeful that the decay rate will be less than half, and my gamble (note, I do not consider this an investment) will eventually pay off.

Placed some orders on Feb 3 at about 11AM CST (First wave Batch #2). I have the WalletBit receipts. I have received no updates from Avalon-Store.com regarding a order confirmation. Placed orders on Feb 18th at about 10:50AM CST (2nd wave Batch #2). I have Wallet Bit receipts and also received a Avalon-Store.com order confirmation. Checking the status of my orders on Store-Avalon.com I see only Feb 18th orders. Some show "Processing" and some show "Pending". #1 - Should I be eventually receiving a order confirmation for the 1st wave Batch #2 orders? #2 - Should the 1st wave Batch #2 orders from Feb 3rd be shown on the website? It's a bit frustrating having spent the money I did and not receiving even a single email thanking me for my order. If no email is going to to out, I would hope that at least the website would be corrected to properly show my orders.

1. Receive email on the night of Feb 17th saying orders will re-open 9AM EST Feb 18th 2. Scramble all night trying to learn how to cash in my USD for BTC due to the Federal Bank Holiday. 3. Stay up all night. 4. Log into the store.Avalon-asics.com website @ 9:03 AM EST - it says 330 Sold. (i think WOW 170 sold in 3 minutes? Well, I may still have a chance. 5. Leave my house to try to buy some bitcoins locally. 6. Come back at 9:24 AM EST, hit F5 (the browser was already open). Now it says "SOLD OUT". Hit F5 again to make sure. 7. I say "DAMN it really is sold out". 8. Go over to reddit, just to make doubly sure its sold out. I read this post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/18pemg/for_those_looking_to_buy_an_avalon_tomorrow/c8h71om 9. Give up. 10. 1 week later, I find this thread, and find out that they did not sell out until 3:30 PM EST. What gives?

Not a peep from Avalon more than three weeks later. Close this ticket and open a new one. Do this every week till you get a response...Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: creativex on February 26, 2013, 08:14:33 PM Same, save that I ordered on the 3rd and opened a support ticket on the fourth.

:/ Title: Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 Post by: CrazyGuy on March 16, 2013, 05:26:36 AM So did batch #2 start shipping on the 5th? If not, has Avalon revised batch 2 start ship date?

I think we can assume NO as all of the Batch #1 customers don't yet have their systems, even some in China it seems (thus no customs holds). +1 to the question though. Would be nice to know better information on progress through BATCH#1 and estimated shipping start for B#2. It seems to be Avalon has been about a month behind, I mean how long did it take after Jeff got his for any other units to really start appearing? I just wish we knew how far into B#1 are we? 50? 100? 200? That's the deal no one really knows.

Our team needs to leave, and the need to sum up the first batch of production, processing, and improved, and wait for these improved components produced. Therefore, we will delay the second batch shipment time, in late March to early April, the second batch of orders is only a small amount of shipments, from mid-April till the end of the month, we plan to ultra-high-speed quickly completing The second installment of shipment.

Batch #3 will be probably be shipped in mid/end of May.

That's 3.9 times the price of batch #2, that obviusly will give the chance to a very small amount of buyer to take one of your mining rigs, and i'm almost sure they will be heavy miners already...so mining will become more centralized. That's too bad, because I (and i'm pretty sure many others) will not be able to afford that (i could think about spending $1500, but not 4 times that). Very sad news...

Initial investment is big indeed, exposure is not trivial: why not to share both risks and profits with like-minded people?

Initial investment is big indeed, exposure is not trivial: why not to share both risks and profits with like-minded people? Absolutely, it's brilliant. I made an investment today with another miner, I would not want to invest in a full rig myself. |
