Just ordered mine, back to the BTC mining game for me.
You just couldn't stay away.. Nope! It was pretty much fate in my book: Skimming through reddit and see some link about Avalon Batch #2 Click link, see about 14 left Research for a few minutes, refresh, <10 left Ordered mine and now have 0.07 BTC left in my wallet Just barely enough BTC to buy it in my wallet and finding it right before it runs out..... FATE! Most def. Congrats.

<-- Is hoping for a batch 2 Avalon with 6 module bays.

I think they're manipulating the number in stock to control the order rate.

I know most of my answers are the same to each and every one of you guys but the question has already been asked dozens of times. Avalon 2nd batch orders are only being confirmed through Walletbit. Thats it. Opening support tickets through avalon wont do you any good. Sending him PM's wont do any good. Work with Walletbit. They can confirm everything from your order to your shipping address. All of this information went through Walletbit.
That seems to be in conflict with Yifu's post this morning: they are actually being sent as we speak. pm me your order/email

I have a reference design 5970 that will post, but won't output video.
BAMT detects it, but when it begins mining the machine hangs.
Make an offer.

The deploying is in process. We are stress testing on btcguild with a portion of our devices. The current computation power is close to 2TH/s.
So it's confirmed then. Very nice. Congrats. "asicminer is the only one that will make it before the chinese new year" -- Diablo-D3, 27-September-2012 on #bitcoin-mining

I'm interested in one, if anyone has one for sale. Will offer 10 BTC.

BitSyncom, I recall reading where you paid $400 to get Jeff's unit to him.
Can I pay for the same service? I have $400 in BTC ready to send.

^^^^ I agree, I would rather them focus their efforts on shipping Batch #1 and Batch #2 by their deadlines period. He stated "no news is good news" as we need to take it at face value that they are on schedule and have focused their resources on meeting these goals.
you're not concerned about the 53 units they said they shipped out by January 28th? At least 16 days in the mail now and not a peep. He said that they were attempting to ship out 53 units, and they would know by Feb 2nd if they had "made it out" or not. I'm guessing that no news is bad news in this case, and they did not in fact make it out.

Forum user Bogart has requested I put notice in this thread that I have transferred 50 of my shares to him in exchange for 18 BTC to be received at the address 1MtpYXDzZa9XdrXf5JVeFrU99zmYqcBJvE ( http://blockchain.info/address/1MtpYXDzZa9XdrXf5JVeFrU99zmYqcBJvE) I am not looking to sell any more of my shares at this time. Thank you On a more thread-related note, it is exciting to speculate on this mystery miner. We can only hope that it's friedcat! Can't wait for Thursday's news. Sending the funds now. Thanks. Cheers!

Dividends will be paid for nine months only. After nine months, these shares will be worthless, so consider that when bidding.
Nine months beginning when?

About time About DAMN time So if i bought one today, I am waiting untill November? bull shit... they better drop that price by $300 if they think I am waiting 7 months for delivery of the products. MFG costs should go down as time continues, or the Machines should have considerably more hashing power, or Power efficiency a year later. Have you even read the BFL forums If ordered today,you may possibly recieve your unit by April or May (2-3 months)...............If they ship by late Feb More entitlement mentality Yea, well, that's what they (BFL) are saying right now. They also said they'd ship in October 2012. Look back at the FPGA product's history. They said it would ship around October 2011, and it ended up first shipping in March 2012. Then it wasn't until November 2012 (after they quit taking orders) that they finally got all of the orders caught up: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/36-fpgas-through10-5-shipping-today.html

I'd like to buy one shipped to an eastern US address. Must use escrow and delivery confirmation. PM me.

for some reason 5850s sell almost as well as 5870s
Maybe it's because 5850s (and 5870s) can be used with OS X in a Mac or Hackintosh, but 5830s can't.

It's Chinese New Year folks.
How convenient. So another 3 weeks before we get another 2 Avalon units in customers hands? That's what I'm thinking. I sure wish we'd get some official word.

Don't pop your top just yet. They still need to be bumped, packaged, and most importantly, thoroughly tested.

Another reliability update:
Now that difficulty is sufficiently high, no longer seeing machine or cgminer restarts.
The most common symptom now is a cessation of mining; cgminer and machine are both responding to status queries, but no work is occurring.
This symptom occurs every 24-48 hours.
A simple machine restart fixes the problem immediately.
Sure sounds like a memory leak. If you could check and record every hour or so, the free memory reported by 'free', and maybe capture which processes are using how much with 'ps axu', you may be able to find more definitive proof. 'free' is happy as a clam. The previous behavior can be attributed to a memory leak. Now that difficulty is sufficiently high, the box reaches a condition where the controller (linux kernel, cgminer) are active and accessible remotely, but no work is progressing. The box will restart if the memory leak condition is reached. The box does not restart upon this no-mining condition. I see. Does 'dmesg' report anything new once this condition is reached?
