They don't need to apologize.

I never cried "scam" and I always maintained that Avalon, at least, actually did ship. Even so, I side with the sceptical here. They did nothing wrong. They pointed out, however shallow the logic, that there was a chance that Avalon was a scam. This is more information to everyone. This helps avoid groupthink.

The doubters need not apologize. In fact, I would like to thank them. It helps prove to the real scammers how difficult it would be to scam the community, such that even legitimate products are labelled scams. It ensures a better, safer community in Bitcoin's future.

Best triangle ever.

With this post I want to add this thread to my list of "wathched" I have decided that the ASIC mining business is uber cool as well as it is uber fake. I will speculate.

So, my view:

What I hope: bitcoin down to 10$ so that I can buy a lot
What I preview: bitcoin to 25$ in a month

One thing that I understood is that you always have to distinguish between what you want and what you see.

Well again, as I said before, Xiangfu wrote the driver for cgminer.
When he was asking me about it, 2.10.4 was already available.

That output looks legit.

Weird that the date is indeed 24-Jan i.e. more than 6 days ago.

1359050115 = 24-Jan-2012 17:55:15 UTC

China timezone would be 2am or 3am (not 100% sure which - anyone can look it up)

Yes runtime is 503 seconds.

Hardware Errors = 7 means it's not perfect or it's got some form of overclocking that is already pushing the limit of the device ... or a minor bug somewhere in the driver/cgminer combo

They ran the test with GetWork and 1 difficulty shares - bad idea with ASIC Use Stratum and something like 8+ difficulty ...
(I use 8 difficulty on my 2.4GH/s )

29 Rejects means there must have been a block change (LP) ... and Network Blocks = 2 says yes there was 1 block change.

So 29 Rejects on a single LP sounds reasonable for ~60GH/s on GetWork

The numbers Elapsed, Total MH, MHS av, Difficulty Accepted, Accepted, Utility, Work Utility all calculate out to the right arena.

And lastly - yes that output matches: "java API summary"

[Avalon官方公告] Avalon ASIC 第二批中国区预售提前开始 [复制链接]

恩，各位好

目前我们遇到了一个问题，我们需要资金来购买下一批Avalon所需的零部件。如果不在年前将所需的零部件定下的话，我们可能会无法达成3月初即开始发货第二批的任务。因此在1.31日EST时间9：00，官方网站会开始预订第二批矿机以筹集资金。

第二批的机器与第一批的性能指标一样，经过实际测试，Avalon已经完全达到了设计的性能指标，如下：

bitcoin mining速度： 大于60Ghash/s
芯片功耗：6.6~6.7W 每GH/s

本批共600台，预计发货日期为3月6日开始，至4月5日结束，发货顺序基于付款顺序。每台售价为1500美元，包括运费，多买也没有折扣。

对于中国区而言，短时间内筹集大量的BTC有一定困难，所以经过团队内部讨论，在国内提前2天进行预售。此次预售共100台左右（也计入600台内），每个订单最低为5台，最多为30台。价格为每台9300人民币，包括运费，多买也没有折扣。付款方式为银行转帐。

在预订之前，请务必阅读并认可以下条款：

1，在任何情况下均不退款。这是因为，我们会用预付款去购买零部件，因此无法退款。
2，没有保障。这包括但不限于：现在没有第三方评测所带来的风险，我们是骗子的风险，由于客观和主管原因无法按时发货的风险，bitcoin本身出现严重问题无法继续存在等。
3，没有销售客服。由于人力有限，如果您不能理解本公告的全部内容，即请不要购买。同时，QQ和旺旺等均不作预订咨询，所有询问都不会得到回复。
4，收货地址一经确定即不能更改。

请您在仔细阅读本篇公告后，仔细考虑，再做出决定。

对于之后的订单：

对于30台以上的订单，依然接受银行转帐。具体预订方法另行通知。

以上。
