Title: Avalon: Where is our chips? (chip eta status thread) Post by: ionstorm on July 20, 2013, 12:12:15 AM Gonna post this now since it will end up being posted sooner than later, it seems as if Avalon is or is about to be late on their shipping time estimates for ordering Avalon chips.
Here is steamboat's orders and their estimated ETA's: Quote Batch 1: Order #10177, Purchase date May 1,2013. Expected delivery date early July (already surpassed early July) Batch 2: Order #10265, Purchase date May 11,2013. Expected delivery date mid July (already surpassed mid July) Batch 3: Order #10325, Purchase date May 22,2013. Expected delivery date mid/late July. Batch 4: Order #10425, Purchase date May 28,2013. Expected delivery date late July, early August. Batch 5: Order #10553, Purchase date June 5. Expected delivery date early/mid August. Batch 6: Order #11253, Purchase date July 6. Expected delivery date mid September. If you reply with your Groupbuy's shipping date and Expected delivery date I will update this post. Title: Re: Avalon: Where is our chips?

Well, there is millions of dollars worth of chips in limbo and no status updates to be found, its quite possible Avalon is making more off chips than by selling their own hardware, I think we all deserve some status updates and an updated estimate ETA for chip orders. I know allot of us have invested a considerable amount in this and steamboat and the others who are already getting PCB's manufactured need to know. I hope we hear something soon :) Title: Re: Avalon: Where is our chips?

Somebody already received their chips which was ordered in Apr.But at the same time, batch#3 which was ordered in March just started to ship. Avalon team is dig his own grave by doing business like this. Title: Re: Avalon: Where is our chips?

It won't be perfect, but should give us a minimun amount of time that shipping will take. IIRC, it was about two weeks from initial reports to when steamboat received his.

Now, doesn't this take the cake. A la betting on the wrong ASIC outfit, surely I haven't been beating on the wrong dead horse, have I? Title: Re: Avalon: Where is our chips?

If you reply with your Groupbuy's shipping date and Expected delivery date I will update this post. 94 days seems to be the current time frame based on this recent delivery: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=258231.0 So at best you have 2 more weeks to wait on your May 1st order |
