ok My avalons are here. Someone help me get them running on p2pool?
Tried doing the commits on github and setting the --fix-protocol flag and it still just kinda waffles around and doesn't get moving.

My units were just delivered.  Great news! They "blend"? One machine, the cards came loose. screws stripped out of heatsink that hold it in place. Bashed the shit out of everything inside. I think I've salvaged it.. maybe. One machine is fine, blending well. I asked DHL Friday and today for info with address and they said they had nothing. Then units arrived. So take that for what it's worth. |

I'd have bought a LOT more if they could actually deliver the units I ordered in batch 1.

Please limit this thread only to people who ordered and haven't received a unit or tracking/shipment information about their order. Only information pertinent should be posted, the rest will be pruned if deemed irrelevant. Please post your order number and your order date. Please note if you do not wish for Avalon to publicly confirm your order status. Otherwise this is a request for Avalon team to do so. If you receive your units, or get information please update OP. Please post if you have had any communication, or posted a support ticket or called DHL or EMS about your order. It's sad it has to come to this but it's necessary since avalon is pumping batch 3 buyers, while the "+trust" batch one buyers are still in the dark and batch 2 is taking a "break". Bitsyncom, Dr Zhang : please respond and let everyone know what's going on and confirm orders have been shipped or not if the user requested. We don't want to shame you, we only want a little information and some answers. A simple response such as "shipped date,DHL"or "shipped date,EMS" is sufficient. OP will be updated as much as possible. Delivered! Aseras Order 20000300 Oct 2nd ( created ticket in January after DHL switch since my address is not reachable by DHL, only EMS/mail. No response.

all that is probably true, but by the time batch #4 will be out, difficulty will be sky high. People want avalons NOW to make all that uber mega fancy profit, get rich, retire early and drive bugatti  And yet batch one is still not finished, and batch two is taking a "break". Batch 3 purchases are foolish. |
|
|
|
I still don't have my batch one order, there's a "break" before batch two ( that they publicly stated would ship between march 6 and April 5 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=139704.0 ). Between those things , and the meager support and the ridiculous prices they are asking for batch 3, I don't know why anyone would consider batch 3 unless they are overcome with greed. It's too many unknowns. It's a pity too. I had such high hopes for avalon and dr zhang. |

For anynone who ordered a batch 1 or 2, is the freight charge exactly 2BTC, and is it the same for Canada?
Batch 1 was 1200 plus 120 ship Batch 2 was 1500 shipping included. |

I have a bunch. How many, ship to where?

This from the guy who has Bitcoins in the 6-digits worth USD in the 8-digits.
Your implying he has at least 200,000 Bitcoins? If so this guy is very very wealthy. You can't cash out only lately can you drop >10000 coins without crashing the market. |

I'm 2000300 still no units here either. DHL doesn't see them, and my awesome mail guy can search EMS and they have nothing either.

Funny thing is, people were pulling out that exact chart when we had our first "bubble" up to $30 (or whatever it was) and subsequent crash back to $3 (or whatever it was).
And in 12 months time, when we've spiked to $1000, people will be saying it again.
Just because a market recovers after a crash doesn't mean there wasn't a bubble. Real estate bubbles happen with monotonous regularity but property doesn't ever drop in value to zero and stay there. this is why its called a bubble not a crash. bubble get big and pop. they correct back to where they should be. crashes go down and stay down for a long time. |

Anyone consider that with #3 price speculation/prediction they created bubble to sell mined bitcoins at higher price ? Just my toughts..
thats the other problem with btc, anyone with enough fiat right now can crash the market, or skyrocket it. there's no depth. |
|
|

i havent seen these 'wild downward swings'...
all ive seen is a few solid jumps immediately after mainstream news stories.
got a front row seat today then. |
|
|
|
For those of you complaining about the exchange rate, They just got $715 cheaper in the last 10 minutes yeah no one believes me when I say btc is too volatile right now.... |

Well I have order 15X and I ordered and paid on September 23, 2012. DHL still has nothing for me. I did everything correctly, quickly and took the risk. Why don't I have mine?
It appears that it's more of a lottery when it comes to Avalon shipping. No official response from the "Avalon Team". Still waiting...
That'd be frustrating. Waiting for $12k/day in profits to show up at your doorstep, with no firm date and the possibility that they'll be making a lot less by the time you actually get them. Lol I wish! It's order number 15x (x is a number). Thanks for the laugh I needed that. $12K/day how many did you order? I'm order 300, so don't feel bad. I'm only miffed because people who ordered long after me already have their units. Long ago I wanted to dissect one and give it a full review. take it apart, scan the pcb. Do a full IR imaging suite on it and xray the pcb. all for fun. I live for stuff like that. plus the people they sent review units too just took some grainy BS pictures and a couple blog posts. I could've blown all that away. Kinda sucks now that I'll be one of the last to get it. |

Those of you bringing USD into this need to shut the fuck up. This isn't a USD mining machine, you don't buy it with USD, the USD-BTC exchange rate is inconsequential. The exchange rate is only the problem of people who want to be part of the corrupt governments rigged economy. The exchange rate is unrelated to this transaction.
You are buying a device in bitcoins to mine bitcoins to have bitcoins to take part in a bitcoin economy. Anybody who says different is just a profiteer trying to take away from what has been built here.
It is an issue if you need to purchase bitcoins. It doesn't matter if you purchase something in bitcoins, USD, bottlecaps or seashells. Any currency has a value associated to it. bitcoin right now has incredible volatility. it can change by the hour. Lately its been going up. tomorrow it could be much less or much more. in a month or two, who knows? We could pop right back down to $5 per btc, or rocket past $200. it's value matters then. Batch 3 has been made into a gamble because of this on price alone. If you count avalons customer service and shipping rate and order management it's even more of a gamble. Let's see. Let me put this in perspective for you. When batch #1 went on sale, the price of BTC was around $12. It had recently "crashed" from around $15. Several months before, the price of BTC was less than $6 for a long time. Finally, let me remind you when Avalon was supposed to ship... FIVE months AFTER BFL was supposed to ship. If you want to talk about relative volatility and risk, batch #1 customers risked a lot more paying $1300 for non-existent technology from a bunch of recent college grads in china. You talk about gambling for batch 3...HA! All you have to do now is math now and a tiny bit of guessing. I'm not saying batch #3 is a bargain. I most likely will not buy myself, but you need a reality check. Edit: I see that you have a batch #1 order. You should know better than most others that batch #1 was way riskier than now. See that, that's a bubble. avalons getting greedy and its gonna bite them in the ass. yeah I have a wave 1 batch 1 order, for units I still don't have and dhl doesn't see yet either. so I'm well aware of how "risky" it is to be two batches in the hole while avalon is pumping batch 3 right before the btc price collapses after the bubble i see forming. I've been following bitcoin for a long time, way before the first spike and crash. same thing here, except before it was GPU, now it's asic. I'm not in btc for the money. I'm a researcher. I'm in it for the fun and novelty. everything Ive made has gone back into the "hobby". New computers, or gpus and avalons. |

IMO, If the hardware costs Avalon $800 to build the ASICS. Then they should charge a markup on top of that for their time and R&D. But stating that ROI is the reason of their price shady to me... We do not know if the Fed will step in within the time of buying an ASIC and your earnings to recoup the cost of the ASIC. And if Bitcoins become unusable due to ISPs blocking bitcoin traffic then you have a very expensive paperweight. Keep in the the word ASIC means Application Specific Integrated Circuit. So its only good for one thing and thats mining bitcoins.... IMO thats a BIG risk to take without knowing the legality and the future of Bitcoin.
This applies to all ASICs and all vendors. If the Feds step in/ISPs block Bitcoin traffic, then everyone's dedicated mining hardware becomes an expensive paperweight. It's just one of the risks you need to take into account before purchasing mining hardware - whether it's an 88 BTC Avalon or a $39,000 Mini-rig. And who in the hell are these exchanges which won't let you buy 100 BTC? they cant block p2p and torrenting with all the money and lawsuits, bitcoin is easy to hide and tunnel. the only way they could block it is to cut the cords. the problems isn't buying coins it's money transfer/laundering laws kicking in for the $amount transactions now that btc isn't worthless. |
