Title: Did anyone else just miss the latest Avalon batch?
Post by: InspiredEye on March 27, 2013, 07:53:26 AM
At 11pm I saw Avalon was selling their top-end ASIC machines for 101 BTC, less than an hour later they were sold out.  Did anyone here manage to get one?

One? One fella got 50. They were in and out of stock all day as unpaid orders were returned to the store.

They were still in stock an hour or two ago.
It may be worth retrying the order form over the next couple hours.

These are like fucking $8000 each ... well bitcoins are fucked. Already over 50% of the mining is being done by 'unknown'.

50?!?!? I cant even afford to buy a house worth that much, let alone 'play money'

Yea gets me down :(  First I didn't have the cash ready.
 Then they made the payment in bitcoins and even if I could have the cash I couldn't buy one.
 Got the email that evening they were going to be available
and there was no way to get it done in time :(

Got 2.... 85Gh/s .... Now just have to wait and see if it is still going to work the way people are saying. What do you think. About how many coins do they mine daily at today's difficulty?

I'm happy to have gotten in on Batch 2, but batch 3's should still make the purchasers a nice profit. Especially since it looks like BFL won't be shipping anything anytime soon.

I got this message from BFL when I asked for un update on my order status.


We are not shipping product yet as we are still testing the chips.

We are working to start shipping in the next couple weeks and have a backlog in the queue,

so new pre-orders, regardless of product, will likely ship sometime in July, sooner if possible.

Thank you for your interest in Butterfly Labs, and our products.

BF Labs, Inc. Customer Service

I ordered in October

Lighten up man, i thought it was a blatant running joke.. if you thought i was serious that speaks volumes by itself. lolz
If youre a BFL fanboy or a customer who has many orders on infinite hold .. i meant not to take advantage of youre position.
I hope people get whatever they are building as soon as possible..

i would imagine BFL customers are salivating with razor sharp teeth from nawing on walls with pictures of BFL miners like hungry zombies!!

 
Yeah maybe lol


That sounds about right.. a good old maybe.

 Just put the word "big" right before maybe and were good! :) :)

Not at all spreading FUD bro. I'm waiting on a decent order from BFL and another from Avalon. Iv just been waiting a long time that s all. It's a passing comment making light of an insertion situation.  ;D

It doesn't look like a joke for me but hey, we are from different cultures and we must have a different sense of irony.
