Maybe you are waiting because most units go to Chinese customers first, and they really made far more units than said here? I should point out that Avalon sold 1000 units within Batch 1 (in China).
300 sold separately overseas including the USA.
So revise your power numbers.
1300 units * 67Gh/s = XXTH/s
Edit: By the way, 600 units in China in Batch 2. It is unkown how many exactly in the USA in Batch 2 since the orders were botched and pieced together. Lolz ..just like BFL has sold over 19,000 ASICs  Ah, the joys of spreading FUD  maybe 19,000 asic chips... |

There's literal lakes of oil and liquified natural gas on the bottom of the ocean still. There's some amazing video of our sub examining it.
The density of LNG is roughly 0.41 kg/L to 0.5 kg/L, depending on temperature, pressure, and composition, compared to water at 1.0 kg/L.
 You answered it yourself. It's temperature and pressure. It's cold enough and high enough pressure to freeze methane solid at the pressures there. Water is much much colder than freezing but still liquid, the salinity if off the charts, 4-10 times higher than at sea level where it would crystalize. Lots of things stop working the way you suspect. There's vast lakes of brine and methane hydrates and liquid hydrocarbons. It's amazing and spooky to see. It's also amazing that life inhabits these, mussels that live off methane and worms and crustacean a that live within methane hydrates. Many animals collected at the depth if not kept cold or pressurized, explode or quite literally melt when brought to the surface. Your cells are made of hydrocarbons, there's are too, but they melt at room temperature, like butter. And unfortunately,while there is some degree of natural tolerance to natural oil seepages when the oil levels are overwhelming it kills everything either directly, or the result of the dispersants causing bacterial blooms that eat the oil and consume all the oxygen in the water. |

Well I work for the good guys trying to stop all that. We are the ones who put subs down in the gulf when bp had the spill and lied about it all and we proved the oil was there. The dispersant they used just made the oil float underwater. It hid it and caused incredible damage. There's literal lakes of oil and liquified natural gas on the bottom of the ocean still. There's some amazing video of our sub examining it. Our ship run on number 2 diesel and biodiesel and have the best filtration and particulate filters. The oceans are the last true frontier, we know more about the moon than the oceans. Sadly there no where near enough science there, and the pollution and ever increasing demands of the seafood industry are killing it. |

I work for a university, do oceanographic research and system development. everything from submersibles and ocean engineering to laser imaging. I love this stuff. All of my stuff is leased or temporary so I never stay in one place very long.
yes, but please tell me you're going to mine from the boat. I could, but these will be going in a data enter I lease space from. The ships actually have pretty fast Internet. 100mbs+. Even a smaller gpu farm on a ship power wise is not an issue, except during an emergency. The ship uses 4 gallons of diesel to travel its length (200 feet). 95 percent of the fuel used is for propulsion. |

I'm order 200000300. In batch1, between part 1 and part 2. I still haven't heard anything. I requested EMS for my order ( since I live on a boat ). Still waiting myself. I also ordered in batch 2. Can't wait for my Avalon farm to arrive.
I'd also love to know when we can order the upgrade modules.

I've started seeing a lot of discards on stratum tonight. Dropping to get work is fine.

Finding a block at a pool is not the same as finding them solo. Pools reduce variance, but the payout over time should be similar, except for fees.

Hey guys, just got a batch of tracking numbers, going to send out emails through out the day today. I've heard nothing either. My order was placed 23 minutes after Keefe's, number 20000017x, so I expect I'm not too far behind him in the queue. I'm also in the US. I sure wish I could login to the avalon webstore and see the status of my order, and maybe tracking information, but alas the link 404s anymore. http://shop.avalon-asic.com/customer/account/I can tell you it's shipped as your tracking info was on the list, so is Keefe for that matter. Still got nothing  Glad to see them going out, so anxious. |

Just got a voicemail from DHL informing me that I need to be home tomorrow to receive a package. The VM contained a tracking number. Package originates from Hong Kong.
YEAH BABY!!!!!
I wish DHL did that for me. I just get a hangtag out of the blue unless I ship to work or the PO box ( street addressing service is awesome ) |

New release: v2.11.1, March 7th 2013
Keep building on the changes required for BFL SC when it comes out, adding new features and fixing bugs with the new 2.11 branch... This is still the unstable development version but is proving quite stable for my testing so far.
Human readable changelog:
Faster startup now when pools are slow, connecting to the first pool available!
Fixed some stratum bugs which would lead to weird disconnects when pools were slow.
Improved the mining resume support for stratum.
Added the show message feature of stratum (which I don't believe any pool uses yet?).
Lots of other minor stratum fixes and improvements.
Added the --hotplug (time) feature if you have hardware that has random stalls every time the usb devices are probed (default is 5 seconds).
Extra API features.
Random bugfixes.
Awesome thanks! |

Just half a year ago, a dump like yesterday's would have taken weeks or months to recover from. Not bad, Bitcoin, not bad at all.
For sure. The pattern we've been seeing for the last two months seems to be 1. Bitcoin breaks into new $10 increment range 2. Some bears try really really hard to dump 3. Buyers snatch up low priced coins and price goes back to where it started 5. Everyone realizes that the demand at new range is for real and everyone buys as many coins as they can 4. Rinse and repeat At the moment, it seems the pattern is repeating for $40. It'll be interesting to see if it continues. So you think there will be no further correction today? The only correction will be upwards. But no, I don't think the price will get below $42 or so again unless there is another huge jump up like yesterday. The demand for BTC at $45 is so real you'd be stupid to sell below it. Like, real dumb. One person with a few thousand coins could tank the price if they dropped them all. If I sold every coin I had ( actually considered it, looking to buy an RV or a house ). I could probably drop the price into the mid $30 range. |

They don't even know when they can deliver things that were ordered in the middle of last year. Guessing now is only that a wild guess.

Custom made generally means a one off item, not something produced in quantities.

Time to check again?
this waiting is even worst than waiting bASIC refund... what is killing me is the silence but let us hope that no news are good news. Besides i really do need to have the invoice because of the custom procedures and silense about invoices is very bad... Just a side question for EU customers - how are you going to deal with customs not having the invoice upfront? It can bring a lot of complication and additional expenses/delays because of that in my country. Most likely will pay customs + vat, no more, no less Most likely if the name in the invoice is wrong it can be treated as double purpose crypto equipment and big shit can happen Who knows, they could label the thing a wireless router or custom PC and sail it right through customs if they had E marking. |

The final assembly looks very simple. I could make 10 an hour if all the parts and such were ready to go.
Assembling the board and loading software and testing could take longer. Who knows how the QA goes. Do they IR every heatsink and board? How long is the burn in/testing phase, etc.

If it is not too much trouble could someone point me to where paypal's protection policy is clear on buyer's protection outside of ebay or other recognized selling platforms? I checked the paypal site for protection measurements regarding email to email payments, but find nothing specific about protection when using paypal this way as 2 private persons.
Freifallspoiler, I hope for the best for you, but the whole story so far stinks. The minimum should be a correct address, not one where people working, say they don't have a clue.
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/paypal-safety-and-security It also covers you when you make a payment on our website. You must open a dispute within 45 days of your purchase or payment to initiate the Purchase Protection process. https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=ua/UserAgreement_full#13.%20Protection%20for%20Buyers.
Send the payment to the Seller through:
the Send Money tab on the PayPal website, by clicking the “Purchase” tab, or by selecting the “Checkout with PayPal” button or otherwise selecting PayPal as part of a Seller’s checkout flow.
Open a Dispute within 45 Days of the date you sent the payment, then follow the online dispute resolution process described below under Dispute Resolution. For Pay After Delivery transactions you must open your Dispute within 45 Days of the date of your transaction. For PayPal Grace Period transactions, you must open your Dispute within 60 Days of receiving your email transaction statement.

I'd open the dispute right away so paypal holds the funds..

If I had known about all this, I'd have mine sent to one of the chinese people for a couple of months, split the profits and then shipped over to me after the storm had settled  |

Cut the guy some slack here.
It's still stupid. Even if he bought in at 40, which I highly doubt, selling only 80% at 48 would have covered the investment, and the rest would be available for further long-term growth. Trying to predict peaks and then selling all is not a viable speculation strategy, and only means he's trading based on emotions. Which is stupid. Such people are caught later, when bitcoins grows to I don't know, 100, and he re-enters with all profits, then bitcoins crash to 20 and he sells in despair, left with heavy losses. I've seen it happen  Hope this particular OP would be smarter and would waste all profits on booze. I sold 45% of my stake at 45.50 last night and recouped 120% of my initial investment. Left the remaining 55% on the exchange to ride it out. My goal at the moment is short term trading to get my USD funds up enough to buy one of these: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=331429112Or if BTC goes to the moon: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=331757394Am I doing it right? Those are both shit, If it goes way up, get a milled arsenal AK and die happy. If it goes absolutely insane the only other good investment is something like this http://www.subguns.com/classifieds/index.cgi?db=nfafirearms&website=&language=&session_key=&search_and_display_db_button=on&results_format=long&db_id=21835&query=retrieval/I only paid $400 for my FULL AUTO AK many years ago. //Legal too, got the tax stamps to prove it. |
