Terrahash, we really need an update now, especially for assembly order which has chips already shipped (me) - Where should chips be shipped to? - Are you still sticking to two weeks turnaround time from the time when you received chips? Would your board design and assembly line be ready? Assuming two weeks for chips in transit, that means I should be mining in FOUR weeks? (finger crossed  No Terrahash we really don't need to hear from you, because your website clearly states: Terms and Conditions: Shipping dates depend upon when we receive the chips from you. Once we have your chips, we will ship your order within 2 weeks. Also your website has your shipping address where to ship chips so that is covered also. |

The most a BFL single can hash at with all Grade A chips is 64Gh
Remember your math:
16 Chips per single
each chip has 16 engines of 0.250 Gh
16 X 0.250 = 4 Gh per chip
4 X 16 = 64Gh
Each single has to have 16 perfect Grade A chips to hash at 64Gh

Zefir First Batch Shipped. Looking forward to Terrahash confirming their chip shipment soon (and also getting back to the email I sent them  ) What happens in the - hopefully unlikely - event that Avalon can’t deliver the chips or they get delayed indefinitely?
This will maybe not happen
Update: 1st batch shippedI got a a status update from Avalon - the first batch of chips has been shipped, including DHL tracking number. It should get delivered this week. Important reminder: If you have chips ordered from the first batch and did not yet enter your shipping address and locked it - do it soon! Orders without finalized shipping data will be postponed. When did they order? Sent from mobile They ordered on April 19th This is the second time in the last week we have seen someone get their order of chips within 93/94 days from order While not officially a trend, it is 2 out of 2, so Terrahash will get their first order of chips on August 13th (+/- a day) Which means they may start shipping August 27th Which means we should see product last week of August, First week of September. Plan accordingly |

The most you would get out of a Single with 16 Grade A chips would be 64Gh
You have probably 16 Grade B chips (give or take)

Is this the best place for you to get an answer?

From what I know TSMC's yield on 28nm is an industry high, i the supply remains low, I guess it is the demand is far more than what their foundries can produce. It takes a long time to be able to ramp up production on such wafer plants.
Those Lucky investors will be burned like real cat on the pan. Wow. Posting a 5 months old article here and trying to scare people away from investing so you can get more out of it? Geez, sometimes I feel like this forum is worse than Kindergarten... You assuming that situation is changed ,so just let it be. I won't invest any of my BTC related with this 28nm conceptual product. However ,go google it or write a email to ask those very few companies have 28nm process facilities. Semiconductor industrial isn't like other manufacture,the cost of producing new 28nm product is far beyond those small ASICs mining companies' affordability. Your're pushing the shovel too far up the tree if you want the chicken to cross the road without getting a case of athletes foot!! |

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: 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. 94 days seems to be the current time frame based on this recent delivery: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=258231.0So at best you have 2 more weeks to wait on your May 1st order |

Here is what you do:
Send a Support ticket with the Subject line:
SENDING YOU AVALON CHIPS
Then type your message, I say you get a response in 48 hours

Nope, the group buy hasn't received my chips yet, but I want to be prepared. I know TH's office is located at the address on the website, but what I'm wondering is if there are any "official" instructions from TH on where and how they want them sent.
I don't want to have them sent to one address only to find out later that they need them sent somewhere else. Or, to have them shipped and then hear from TH that they won't sign for the shipment until all their parts come in. Or, some other scenario.
I'm assuming I will have them sent to their office address, but I'd rather not assume.
That all makes sense, I just would not be so concerned about a less than timely response since you don't have your chips yet. |

Has there been any information from TerraHash about where, when, and how to send them chips from a group-buy for assembly only orders? I've opened a ticket asking about it, but haven't heard anything yet. I've also searched around the forum and the TH website.
Is anyone else doing an "assembly only" order with TH? Have they sent you any instructions on sending them chips?
Do you have your chips yet? If so ship them to them: https://terrahash.com/contact-us/ |

....Pictures of the invoices: http://s1334.photobucket.com/user/knightlife999/library/<<I edited out Amir's personal phone number from the invoices. I confirmed that the orders are in his name and are being shipped to TH's office.>> We are moving forward and everything is going well. I hope this helps. Have a great day guys! I'm going to get some sleep. Those are all pictures of the old revision boards hashing, have they ordered/received BKK's final design yet? You do realize BKK finalized his design probably 48 hours ago and even he does not have any?!?! My guess would be they would be on order shortly. Blah blah blah, details  |

We are glad to announce that we have secured two additional early-may Avalon ASIC pre-orders, each for 10,000 chips. With these additional 20,000 chips along with our own May 10 and May 16 orders, we have enough chips to ship all the orders received till now in the first batch. late june <> early-mayhmmm .... so if avalon isn't delivering all batches together ... order number will be again the point of truth ... Well, I guess that helps explains terrahash's reluctance to release the proof of "early-May" purchases. Early May 1st - 10th Mid May 11-20th Late may 21-31st  |

I want to get more miners assembled - where can I purchase Avalon chips from an early buy? Thanks for the help! Willing to sell my 2x K64's and 1 K16's on Preorder #591 for $2600. PM me if your interested. Just cancel your order. You should never have placed it if you didn't plan on mining with it. All you are doing is allowing people to skip line who were too stupid or lazy or unprepared to get in line with everyone else. Blow it out your ass...Did you pay for my order? No... you didn't... I did... and as any other property I, not you or anyone else get to make the decision of how best to utilize the investment. If someone else is willing to purchase my order, they will do so at a small premium, It simply the cost of being late to the game and for doing so they will get the same benefit that I paid for. Nothing more, nothing less. If you have a problem with this, then next time wake up and O'dark thirty and place order #1 and you'll never have to worry about it. Otherwise, please keep your comments to yourself in regards to other peoples business. Give the guy a break, geez, he is charging like $57 a GH for his order, if I had the cash I'd jump on it. If you can get 40-50gh of mining power (essentially in less than 30 days) for that price tell me where. VERY fair price. (have you guys seen the douches selling 60GH BFL units for BTC95 each and getting people to pay it, thats like $142 a GH) |

You can get them for 0.8374 BTC "Competitive" indeed. Send me one tomorrow? Well considering the bkk has not completed testing the design yet probably not. You make a great point. You are therefore no longer competitive. |

Block Erupters are BTC0.89 now quantity 1
You can't get a K1 (quantity 1) for BTC0.89 can you?

Will you take the equivalent in cash (paypal?)

Here is the simple solution.
DIY... best price.
If you don't want to do the work then you will probably have to pay a premium for chips that are fabricated into units and are available sooner than later.
Unless you are taking the risk of dealing with tens of thousands of chips and the volatility of the market place anyone who is selling these K1s will have to offer a competitive price. Then again why should anyone taking that sort of risk sell at 50% or 60% lower than what the market is for these units? Why?
Again there seems to be a real disconnect especially when some of us are actually offering much lower prices for larger volumes. Yet the same comment comes out that the PRICES are too high you are gouging people. If you want a great price then get a few people together and buy in volume. Silly to sit here and argue the value of something that has measurable ROI. If you think it is too high don't buy. If you think you can buy in larger numbers and get a reasonable ROI then do that. What bothers me is the idea that those willing to take a risk and produce a K1 that pays for BKKCoins development are some how evil for expecting it to be priced at the current market rate. Beyond me.
I hear you, but you know as people are rattling off what your expenses are etc. I'd like to see what your expenses would be had you paid for the engineering that BKK did, and I expect that BKK was the one that set the royalty fee. I just want to say that if that is true then he is a true Open Source guy as he deserves so much more. Never said you were evil, never said you were gouging. Just said the price for an open source project should command more savings. |

$80.00 Cost
less
$7.50 for the ASIC
less
$1.80 for BKK
Michael Douglas would be proud!
You are forgetting to include Parts PCB manufacture PCB Layout & assembly Production Labor Transportation costs for above. Project Management Labor Advertising costs ( website ) Customer support , Etc... Come on guys - Bicknellski already stated that the price was set to be 'competitive with' the Block Erupter. If the price had been set to be (cost + reasonable profit + 0.02BTC for BKKCoins), it would almost certainly be a good bit lower. I don't begrudge them making some BTC, but I was disappointed that the 1st OSS incarnation was priced to be competitive with the predatory prices we have been getting from ASICMiner. I am not trolling I am annoyed. I don't deny anyone the right to make a buck. This is a OPEN SOURCE project. So it shouldn't just be competitive it should be a considerable savings. That is really the end of my commentary on this. If someone wants to send me details on where these boards are being made and who to contact I would be happy to have them manufactured and sell them at a more reasonable price. I won't hold my breath for that data however. |
