Title: ASIC Status Thread Post by: Minor Miner on April 08, 2013, 03:32:09 PM Could we start a thread that just posts news and rumors about shipping status of the three companies that could possibly ship ASICs this summer? Like a place to post what BFL throws out in the shout box that we may miss on their status or if Friedcat posts something more solid on the 50TH auction or if an avalon batch II starts showing up at someone's door?
Just string about current rumors or facts and opinions on them. Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: Minor Miner on April 08, 2013, 03:34:25 PM As example, Josh at BFL had said on Saturday that he expected to have final firmware yesterday or today (monday april 8th). Vacuum since then. And has said that they have two more units running in the office and that Luke Jr.'s unit is rock solid and now is up to 30GH

Avalon - Shipped and is building more units. Butterfly Labs - May be a scam (highly likely) GXMining - Definitely a scam bASIC - Ran off with money Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: dan99 on April 08, 2013, 04:08:26 PM bASIC is issuing re-fund.

BFL: Delays after delays. Hopefully SoonTM Reclaimer: Canceled ASICMiner: Online bASIC: Scammer Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: nathanrees19 on April 08, 2013, 11:06:07 PM bASIC is issuing re-fund. Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: mezzomix on April 09, 2013, 05:01:45 AM bASIC is issuing re-fund. As far as my refund is concerned - definitely no!

Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: Rampion on April 09, 2013, 06:11:31 AM Avalon: Shipped
BFL: Epic delays. Possibly a scam. WARNING: do not order until (and if) they ship consistently Reclaimer: Canceled ASICMiner: Online (selling hardware soon) bASIC: Canceled (issuing refunds - some not fulfilled - some users claim it is a scam) Primeasic: Scam Dragon ASIC: Scam Lighting Miner (Computer Multiverse): Scam Cedartek: Scam Helveticoin: Unknown yet Kncminer: Unknown yet Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: E3V3A on April 10, 2013, 11:01:10 PM BFL: Epic delays. Possibly a scam. WARNING: do not order until (and if) they ship consistently BFL is definitely a SCAM, and if people can't get this into their heads, they might as well give away their wife/husbands and kids as well.

WARNING: do not order until (and if) they ship consistently BFL is definitely a SCAM Red text makes it true. Yes, they're late as fuck, disorganised and incompetent, but compared to all the actual scams on the list, they actually have an office (and several community members have been there), they actually shipped FPGA products previously, and there's pretty clear evidence that they (finally) have chips that work, other than using much more power than planned. And yet, whenever their site goes down to a DDOS, there's people posting, worried about how they've finally run off with the money or some shit. The level of paranoia on this forum is somewhere between sad and amusing. and if people can't get this into their heads, they might as well give away their wife/husbands and kids as well. When someone doesn't have the same beliefs as you, it's not a lack of ability to "get it into their head". I would suggest reading up on how people form beliefs before declaring everyone who disagrees with you to be a lost cause. Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: StringTheory on April 11, 2013, 12:08:43 AM ITT: Everyone except Avalon has not proven the ability to produce ASICs.
Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: nathanrees19 on April 11, 2013, 12:11:34 AM ITT: Everyone except Avalon has not proven the ability to produce ASICs. It is true that only Avalon has demonstrated the ability to ship ASICs in quantity. Title: Re: ASIC Status Thread Post by: StringTheory on April 11, 2013, 12:13:05 AM As much as I'd like to believe BFL's claims (for network security purposes). I still cannot say I am convinced they have a working product yet. That picture and video isn't enough to convince me.

It is true that only Avalon has demonstrated the ability to ship ASICs in quantity. but I would correct the other post to say that friedcat has pretty much proven that he can make 7TH worth of asics no?
