Avalon and Yifu specifically have ignored my requests to add my trade-ins to my store account.  It took 5 months to receive my 2 x batch #3 avalon as well.

I do not recommend anyone order from them again unless they correct their horrible business patterns.

I am still out $2500 in trade-ins.  This does not even represent the economic loss in revenue / profit.  I am definitely considering suing them and starting a class action law suit.  If I go the legal route, I will push for criminal charges at the Federal level as well.

I have timestamps of tickets, emails, and messages recorded.  I have logs of transactions received as well.   I think it would be quite easy to win a legal case.

These boards use standard 6 pin pci-e connectors, like what you use with a high end gpu

I do not know the exact power requirements per board yet , but it can easily be measured after form assembles the first board using these new rev 1.2 boards.

The datasheet for the chip is here: http://my.root4u.de/BFL_SHA2_Spec_Rev2.2.pdf

Which may be helpful,

But honestly I would just buy a high end certified gold or certified platinum "gaming level" psu
1000w-1200w Seasonic Platinum or Corsair Gold/Platinum Something like that

I actually tested several BFL 50Ghs SC's (they actually do 65Gh/s+) which I believe have 16 chips in them, and I was able to easily run 3 Units from one 1200w Seasonic Platinum PSU. It had enough connectors and plenty of power. So I would imagine the contamination board will use about the same amount of power as the BFL 50 SC here: https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage/50-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html

Hope I was able to help.

To have the gall to start promoting yet another product with all of the existing stranded customers, manufacturers and resellers is truly amazing.

Any other options. $700 is a long way from the estimates.

I'm sure you'll care when an injunction is filed holding all payments until a resolution is accomplished.

dude, after yifu and bfl, dave is kind of a hero. is he perfect, no. but by all that is holy he is not incompetent/liar as bfl and a dbag as yifu

What does it mean when you have low rates?  And a "speed up" for one of them?
Is this a pool issue?  Or chip issue?

"Bigotry is the state of mind of a bigot: someone who, as a result of their prejudices, treats other people with fear, distrust, hatred, contempt, or intolerance on the basis of a person's ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics."

 I trusted Butterfly Labs.

 Using your logic, I can make the statement of "Moral of the story: never buy from America."

 Are you starting to get it now and how silly that sounds ?

 Ok. How about

 "FFS, no. It's not the moral of the story. Cut this bigotry out" then ?

 FFS, no. It's not the moral of the story. Cut this xenophobic shit out.

5 months means 97% of the intrinsic value of a mining machine. By delaying 5 months, Yifu Guo essentially take away the 97% value from this program.

And I am very sure that this is intentional. They have planned this. They don't want to hold their words from the very beginnng. In the early time of this year, I talked with Xiangfu, a well known developer close with ngzhang (张楠庚）and Yifu team. He has tens of FPGA, but he just sold it on the market. I asked xiangfu why and he told me "he does not pay his attention on the trade-in program. (我并不关注这件事情。）" And I think xiangfu must have very early message from these liars that they planned to deliver the trade-in machine at very late stage, essentially destroy their words to the early supporters.

From Yifu Guo and ngzhang (张楠庚）, I learnt how low a fucker can be. Liar. Scammer. Greedy.

Punin is working on cgminer implementation.

I asked specifically if Dave was sending a board to Con and Kano and he said he would, he didn't, guess it's another fail or bad decision.

This could be considered a grave financial impropriety.

Please enlighten me as to how that is adventurous to us, seems like we are funding the operation of your mine with our equipment and getting paid way less than our own individual strategies. What advantage is that to us, are you sending extra h boards to compensate? Because the BTC payment based on your decisions seems way unfair and you are profiting way more by holding our equipment while the production errors are catching up. Even now, we will not be able to achieve any ROI http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/9373700baf

You apparently have the equipment as per your analysis. I know I paid the full overnight shipping fee for an August starter kit. If your taking 800 cards out of the picture by shipping out our paid for equipment, we are getting Avaloned and your decision to do this without asking those of us waiting for orders is a poor choice.

You were doing so good, what happened to you.

Will you set one up for me? I can pay you or we can be partners. I have a domain and vps with Ubuntu 13.

Have you ever set up a pool?

This is awesome!  I for one will be switching out the chips on my Gen One Avalon with the 55nm chips if they can ROI!
