The point is that as of now there is no proof of any kind that they have something working.

I said this with avalon and i have to repeat it with BFL. I was also more confident with avalon...

the proof is here: http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1CdcYVP4T4hjHwt353pEnGHrigeDLvuvZL
You wish. That could be a single Avalon module hashing. 3 months ago, that would have been a valid proof.

Now, what the fuck is going on?
It's the exit strategy. Buy 3 avalon batch 1 at 60k and produce 3 SC units. Ship them, we are legit, shit happens, we will have to close tomorrow morning. The cat pissed on the wafer/etc. As i said, this is too funny.
I'm really really enjoying it.

2826  Bitcoin / Hardware / Survey about the status of Avalon batch 1 deliveries on: April 01, 2013, 07:46:48 AM
I would like to have an idea of how deep this problem is to understand how much effort we have to put into convincing Avalon to give out tracking numbers for batch 2.

Please post additional info if you have not received the units or your vote will be considered invalid. Forum is too full of BFL puppets.

I by no means mean to encourage someone to give money to BFL, but...
For that above to be true, network difficulty will need to be somewhere above ~8 billion.
I didn't do any actual calculations, i was guessing.
However you are one order of magnitude off, the network difficulty needs to be > 600 million for a 4.5GH device to earn less than 1BTC each year. a 100x increase seems somewhat possible in 6 months to me, if BFL ships.
2829  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ASIC Device buying advice and situation on: March 31, 2013, 02:29:35 PM
Supposing that BFL is real and start shipping one month from now (almost impossible), you being at the end of the queue, you could receive the device even in 4 months or so. The network difficulty will have increased so much, and will continue to increase so much, that you will never get your investment back.
2830  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ASIC Device buying advice and situation on: March 31, 2013, 02:05:59 PM
Are these devices legit ? https://products.butterflylabs.com/
I keep betting on "no".

Is there competition at the moment on ASIC devices ?
Avalon, ASICMINER are proved working. There are some other projects going on.

Are these ASIC devices accepted by the Bitcoin network, i.e could they be declared invalid ?
Not sure about BFL, but the other 2 i mentioned are working.

Now with these fast ASIC devices all miners would be looking at getting one ?
Correct. The network hashrate will explode.

With the 4.5 gh/z ASIC Device rate how much Bitcoints you create in a month ?
When you receive yours, if ever, you won't probably be able to mine a single bitcoin in a year.

As to the people that post in every thread asking "where is my unit?" and talk about all the e-mails and pms sent.  It is hard to know if the reason they are not getting their units is because of all the complaining, or if all the complaining is caused by not getting their units.
Scaring isn't it? I'm afraid to be in their blacklist.
2832  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Announcement] Avalon ASIC Batch #1 Ships on: March 31, 2013, 10:47:32 AM
annoys me to know one guy in China does not have his unit, and many others have more than 2, how is this protecting the network?


If they give out tracking IDs for the second batch this mess won't repeat.
2833  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Did anyone else just miss the latest Avalon batch? on: March 31, 2013, 09:23:59 AM
They where on stock for at least 2 days, stop spreading fud.
Lighten up man, i thought it was a blatant running joke.. if you thought i was serious that speaks volumes by itself. lolz

At 11pm I saw Avalon was selling their top-end ASIC machines for 101 BTC, less than an hour later they were sold out.  Did anyone here manage to get one?

It doesn't look like a joke for me but hey, we are from different cultures and we must have a different sense of irony.

2836  Economy / Auctions / Re: 5 x Avalon Batch 2 starting at 125BTC each on: March 31, 2013, 07:50:39 AM
not understand - for 1 unit 125 or 150?
The selling price was 150, but after several (like 4) people that wanted to buy it and noone concluded (not for my fault and I was OK with using an escrow) I decided to keep them.

Thank you anyway for your interest.

BitSyncom,

Please answer my ticket #507. One week without answer should be over the maximum acceptable waiting.

I've waited almost 2 months now with no answer to my support ticket #254.  Please get in line.  Thank you.  Grin
I opened a second one about a week ago. #570.  Several emails have also been sent.

Maybe they are partying up the conclusion of batch #1 and too busy to answer emails.
If they fix my problem before shipping the units to a datacenter that could claim to have not received the units (how could I claim otherwise, if they don't give us the tracking numbers, like for batch 1?) I'm fine with waiting.

I understand that they need their time to relax and to party, but I know that answering some support problems of your clients is usually important.

However the best thing would be to assure us that batch 2 customers will get a tracking number, that would be great!
