Decentralized currency, p2p, transactions signed by anonymous people around the world, definitely not 1 guy in China with 51% hash power, at least this I understand from his paper.
Again, I'm not saying its a bad project, I congratulate friedcat and his friends, well done guys.
Do you really think that all the competing ASIC projects will fail? |

China does enforce IP laws. Just to play the devil's advocate here, can you provide an example of the GPL (since cgminer is GPL licensed, and that seemed to trigger this discussion - MP3s etc. are off topic) being enforced in China? If so, can you then provide data to show that the GPL enforcement rate is similar to that of the US and Europe? |

Is it more clear now? It sounds like you were saying that if and only if you or ckolivas were involved a vendor could release a cgminer based product without source. How on earth did you manage to interpret it that way? The prior probability of an open source developer and long term community member offering a closed source version for a hardware vendor seems to be very low...low enough that an ambiguous forum post should not be sufficient evidence to believe that this may be the case. It is significantly more probable, before even reading the post, that he wants to make sure the source is available, quite possibly so that it can be merged into the main branch. |

The Chinese people have no more propensity to steal IP (Intellectual Property) than the rest of Humanity.
I think his point is that the GPL has held up well in some courts (such as in the US and Europe) but some quick Googling shows that this may not be the case in China. |

I think the next official update is us shipping out a device. needless to say, we are at the end and is pretty busy at the moment, soon major team members are actually going to stay and live in the factory housing for a few days to make sure everything works out smoothly.
I do not think we will be providing any power consumption/final hashrate prior to shipping the units because we will be tweaking the numbers until we feel it's ready. Soon as we ship everything will become clear.
no demo? But I like demos  |

Right but it isn't like he is publishing financial statements. It is a generalized date question. How is that so detrimental to their business if they have been honest all along?
Where did I say it was "detrimental to their business"? |

LOL Josh it is a direct question. Care to answer? It won't give you competition an edge over your business. So why can't you answer those questions above with time dates?
It would be extraordinarily unusual for a company to publish such information, especially at the request of internet forum posters who are most likely neither investors nor customers. |

Is it my imagination or is this thread sort of abandoned by the Avalon Team?
Lol you only have to look 3 posts up to find an Avalon Team Member :-) That's like 3 days ago - practically years in Internet Time! |

Does it matter?
Yes. It does. Why? |

BFL shills mystify me. I don't understand the psychology.
Some of the "haters" mystify me. If they don't like the company or the product, then the usual course of action is to...not buy it. Why do they keep posting here? They seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel to find more reasons to hate the company and the customers. It's just weird. |

Hope those things aren't ESD sensitive.

Wasn't there to be a demo of some sort also?
Can't wait for it.
Yep. If they're on track, we should expect it within the next week or so. |

Every other ASIC manufacturer has also had delays.
Avalon's initial ship date was "we will have all of the 300 units shipped before the end of February, 2013." By my calendar, that hasn't passed yet, so they have yet to have a shipping delay. Keep in mind that they haven't hit the most critical point yet. Some issues won't come up until you solder the "finished" chips onto a board. |

Or was it a flat out lie?
It was obviously an exaggeration. It seems unlikely that any of the current vendors would run off with the money, but some bASIC customers have been deeply concerned over their PR guy apparently not knowing the source of their delays: https://www.btcfpga.com/forum/index.php?topic=130.0 |

Therefore you have ATLEAST 120 clk cycles to calculate the nonce correction (subtraction), before it is needed (if at all) Put it through a pipeline the same length as the main calculation - no subtraction at all! |

I don't believe they've "missed" multiple shipping dates at all...that would merely imply incompetence. What evidence do you have for this belief? None, why would I require evidence to formulate an opinion? lol |

BECAUSE BFL MISGUIDED ALMOST THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY TO PRE-ORDER FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SHIP.
" misguided" scammed FTFY. Now you're just being stupid. Missing multiple shipping dates does not imply a scam. |
