Ship the chips Yifu!!!!! Please...  |

They're OK but are a bit hard to tell apart. I like the style through! I'd probably suggest a lot less thicker lines. Indeed the lines were too thick (Fixed my post)... going to try some other things to differentiate them! |

Progress, finally. Shipment notification received for 45xx and 59xx, both 4 module batch 3 units.
If that is the case, I would expect a statement from Yifu soon???  |

We are in the middle of the work day, but I felt it necessary to give a quick explanation in order to assuage some of your concerns. A more in depth post will be made later tonight.
If you have purchased assembly, your parts are accounted for, and will be available once your chips come in. They have not, and will not, be sold to anyone else. This is why there is a limit on our currently available stock.
For example, If a customer purchases assembly services for chips which were purchased in Batch 5, then all the components required to fill that order will be held in reserve until that customers chips arrive, at which point they will be used to fulfill their order. They will not be used to fulfill another customers order whose chips arrived before theirs.
Those who have purchased chips directly from us have had just under one month to purchase assembly, and over two weeks to purchase prior to our service being made available to the public. We have given ample time to purchase the desired service, and worked with individuals to ensure they were able to complete their purchase.
We are not responsible for delays caused from waiting until we are sold out of available stock to place an order for assembly.
Thank you SB!! |

Sheesh... people need to read what he wrote c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y.
We are receiving orders from chip purchasers other than our own 6 batches, and will not be holding any components in reserve for those that have purchased chips from us.
Translation- if you have ordered chips and only chips, that does NOT reserve any other components for you UNTIL you order assembly. When you order assembly, you are buying those components at that time. His point was to light a fire under your asses to order assembly ASAP, not to say that he's going to shaft all his customers. Give him a little credit, here! I guess we are Lost in Translation (interesting movie hah)... I can see where your going with how you interpreted this, there appears to be 2 different ways to read the statement, one of which requires assumptions. We just need SB to clear it up. I see myself as a 'chip purchaser' that purchased chips from SB... so the 2nd sentence does apply to me (and everyone in this group buy) and implies that parts are not reserved. With that in mind, combined with the knowledge that Zefir has chips, and that SB will be receiving those chips for anyone from that group that purchased assembly with LSD... it leads me to believe SB has changed his stance and has decided not to make Zefir's chip purchasers wait. If you are accurate, the statement should have been "We are receiving orders from chip purchasers other than our own 6 batches, and will not be holding any components in reserve for those that have purchased chips from us unless assembly payment has been completed." I do hope you are correct though, and that once assembly is paid for - your parts are reserved. Which is how it should be, and I have every reason to believe SB will straighten it out one way or the other. Had I of read the statement the way you interpreted it, I probably wouldn't have made as many posts here, but would have just emailed to double-check. If he really needs the assembly payments to come in, I assume it would be in SB's best interest to fix the statement so that people can make the assembly purchase. |

My developer friend seems to not be interested in our marketplace idea anymore, so I picked up some Python, PHP and MySQL books to see if I can't figure it out. I might be too old to learn new tricks though.
PHP & MySQL I am good with... Python not so much  |

Assembly is open to those who purchased from other group buys, however; miners assembled from chips arriving through other group purchases will experience significant delays due to increased shipping and processing times, and will not be processed until all units from this group buy have been completed. Additionally, these chips will be processed in a FIFO queue, which will begin once the minimum board run quota has been reached. I was looking for this, I believe I had seen roughly the same comment... was this in an email? What's the source? EDIT: Found it.. That is correct. Assembly is processed per batch. In the event all the batches arrive at once, assembly will process each batch before continuing to the next.
Payment for assembly is due as soon as possible. We are willing to work with you due to extenuating circumstances, which are reviewed on a case by case basis.
Queue placement ability is very low on the priority of items which need to be finished for unit delivery in time. The longer it takes to make the payment, the more strain you put on our finances to cover the cost until you do.

Many of us were forced to adhere to the June 30th deadline... (which I did, I made payment on time, as requested... because I was told the money was needed to secure the parts for those batches!!) If I had known I was securing parts for other chip purchases, you would have seen a completely different tune from me. After all of that, the deadline ended up getting 'lifted' on july 1st, the day AFTER the deadline. The website wasn't even open to other chip purchases until July 13th... http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=192916.msg2722887#msg2722887It is not making any sense to me why the coins I sent to secure 'parts' for batches 1-4 was somehow batches 1-4 of every chip purchase that exists. |

lol, salvaged one. Was looking at my laptop cords. Time to start hashing! Out of curiosity... are these batch 3 (3 module) units?... or 4 module? |

I know there are a lot of ins and outs and what have yous... but this is very dude of you 69GyooqTf3Xc9UypMbZAdDupmFgg8rFpQa |

We have ordered enough parts for 3,000 units. Once these are gone, there will likely be considerable delays for the next batch to arrive. We are receiving orders from chip purchasers other than our own 6 batches, and will not be holding any components in reserve for those that have purchased chips from us. [/b][/size]
There are 625 complete K16 to a batch of 10k chips...so we are good up through batch four correct? This assumes no one wants their chips only or are sending them elsewhere of course. That would be the case if we were not accepting orders from other sources. We are not reserving any parts for those that have purchased chips from us. This doesn't seem right... I assume you are willing to offer refunds on assembly for later batches?... considering you haven't even gotten the supplies... I assume you are fine offering an assembly refund? I have 2 orders, but given this recent comment, I am not at all confident with the 2nd order - the batch 5 assembly order... when you 'linked' the chips purchases to the assembly purchases, I assumed the same FIFO queue was in effect. This, to me, reads that everyone that just received their chips from Zefir could turn around, order on the website, and send the chips to steamboat and would get their units assembled well before anyone else here... because we haven't gotten the chips yet for our units. Is this accurate? |

"I'm not saying they are not mining with the equipment... I personally feel like they are burning-in the units on the live network" Sounds like mining to me! Just worded a little nicer. Let's look at it like this. Some simple facts.: Option 1. - they build ASICs and sell them. They get money. Option 2. - they build ASICs and mine with them. They get money. Option 3. - they build ASICs, mine with them for a while, and then sell them. They get money PLUS money! What would YOU do? I know what I'd do! I would honor the commitments I made to my customers. |

You'll have made a total of 130BTC sometime early 2016.. and by then that 82GH will only be bringing in something around 50 satoshis a day. I would have taken 130BTC. On paper, that's how it is. But on paper he should have gotten his avalons 2 months ago. On the other hand, on paper, if there's one thing you should pay attention to and consider (IMHO) is this: Future Proof
The Avalon’s components can be upgraded and swapped out as future parts are released, like a normal PC. You are not forced to switch entire systems.This reads on their web page. I think that's really on black and white there. Maybe you don't need to get the ROI, maybe you get some BTC for upgrade modules that will get you your ROI. Who knows, but that's what's on paper. But things rarely go like it stands on paper. It works both ways. My concern here would be that the 4 modules haven't shipped, which may indicate a problem with the 4 modules... so if that is true, the 3 module avalons that shipped may not even be upgradable to 4 without a new board? Isn't it the same board used in the 3 module and 4 modules? I may be talking a little over my head at this point, and without much information from the source (Avalon)... but speculation is what you get when you don't communicate  |

The problem is, all he has atm is DSL jack -> DSL modem -> ethernet to his PC. The modem is not a router so his PC has the external IP settings / pppoe auth.
Meaning, he cant have more than 1 device working on the internet till he gets a router to put behind the modem.
All I want to know is whats the proper way to reset the avy?
Seems like the correct setup in this situation would be to get a router that supports PPPoE authentication, plug a cable into the 'internet' port of the router and plug the other end into the DSL modem's internet port, and then configure the pppoe information in the router, configure the LAN interface to use an IP in the same subnet his machines will be setup in. For linksys: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=2210All should be well after that... as long as the LAN interface is setup correctly on the avalon with correct subnet masks/IP/gateway/dns, and his machine is set correctly with an internal IP matching the same subnet of the avalon, as well as the subnet of the router example: new router- 192.168.0.1 his machine - 192.168.0.2 avalon - 192.168.0.3 all using 255.255.255.0 as a subnet mask... and his machine/avalon using gateway of 192.168.0.1 (and probably the same IP for DNS, depending on the router... if not, just use the DNS servers that his ISP uses, whoever the ISP is... these are easy to find/lookup on the internet) There is my 2 cents given the information I am seeing... there are enough people helping with this... no need to add any more hands in, I'll go read other threads now  |

Where is the Avalon crew? We need answers..
Many batch 1/2/3 machines have not shipped and Avalon is silent. Trade in customers and refunds being ignored swell...
Batch 3 will not even make ROI due to all the delays. I feel like some sort of compensation for the customers that have had ROI demolished because of Avalon's incompetence is in order.
At this point, Avalon are scammers IMO.
Unfortunately throwing the scammer comment around seems to be the only way to get a response these days With that being said: Avalon == SCAMMERS!! |

also just confirmed i cannot connect to the ip i set it to. this is what i filled each line with
static address
67.204.32.5
255.255.255.255
67.204.32.5
There is something wrong with this. No kidding! He can't even access the device's web interface anymore. The Avalon is listening for packets on 67.204.32.5, and whatever router/hub/whatever he has hooked it up to is sending those packets out to the internet (I would imagine). That's why he needs to connect his PC directly to the Avalon, rather then using a router/hub. (or else setup static routing some other way) However, that 255.255.255.255 netmask... looks problematic? I don't know if that might cause additional problems, or what. a hub or switch couldn't send traffic anywhere, only a router would do that. A hub/switch would be the solution to re-establishing a connection, as it would create his own internal network where he could set whatever IP scheme he wanted... although I do not have an avalon myself, and am not entirely sure what is involved with connecting it 'directly'. 255.255.255.255 is funny, and I have no clue why I didn't see that before heh... but that would likely be an issue |
