DHL pickup booked. 10 units leaving China today, don't miss the boat.
Bought 5 Icarus boards from OP, payment sent. Hopefully my boards went out at the same time. Boards arrived and signed many days ago, I appreciate if you can come here and give some feedback, even one PM. Thanks. |

Its easy, if that its unused feature, just remove the thing, pack and ship. source: Remove the F1(Fuse) for fix the USB-HUB chip overheat, if you are batch2 user and your received Avalon between Apr 26 2013 ~ May 31 2013, your FPGA contoller board still have F1 mounted. you need do this by yourself. removing F1 will not make the usb hub stop working, F1 powers the USB-A1 plug (which is normally unused), more info please checkout here: https://github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-ref/issues/5good catch mbevand |

Nice work P_Shep. Unlike previously, I have to compile cgminer for mips these days since that's what runs directly on avalon so hopefully things run more smoothly for you now. You guys removed FPGA support on avalons cgminer? Excuse me? I flashed one of my 703n with avalon firmware, but I couldnt make cgminer recognize my fpgas. Can you help me compile last version for 703n and make my own image? |

More visibility may attract more costumers, but can Friedcat meet the demand and still keep up the good work he has been doing ?
If internet is a mean of speeding up things, I think it would sound bad launching one website and then having to put something like: sold out, or pre-order, or anything that may impede costumers from buying and getting what they want.
I like the way it is because rewards people that took an effort to be more informed and aware of bitcoins. Why make easy life for irrational buyers that wont dig deep for an opportunity?

Hmm... 27 units delivered. I am pulling this out of my ass, but I think it's safe to say that not everyone who ordered an avalon posts about it on bitcointalk. Probably for every unit delivered, there are 1 or 2 that haven't been reported here. So I am guessing maybe 50-70 have really been delivered so far. Hopefully they ramp up production soon.
good point. perhaps a survey could be more effective measure of ratio and actual deliveries count - since they wont have to disclose ID. the recent decline hash rate tells me about 120-130 units s/b going out soon Sir, where do you check this? I can only see the hashrate going up. |

Batch 2 was exactly 1500$! Batch 3 was 75 btc!
Please stop counting in USD... We all count in BTC as we invested BTC. If you invested BTC 76.2 for a batch #2 machine, you need to be able to generate those BTC 76.2 back, otherwise you don't break even. It does not matter what the underlying USD exchange rate is, unless for those who need to pay their electricity bills If you want to see the exact prices people paid for each batch, check my earlier post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140539.msg1615368#msg1615368Right now you can mine ~2.8 bitcoins per day with a Batch 2 Avalon. Now you tell me how will the roi be negative please.
With more and more ASIC coming online, those 2.8 BTC /day will dwindle to fractions of that, thus making it harder and harder to catch up with those BTC 76.2 See the trend?  But you didn't invest 76.2 BTC for a batch #2!!! Why do you people keep saying that? You invested around 55 BTC. Considering that you mine ~2.8 BTC per day then you need less than one month to breakeven. Even at 75 BTC you still breakeven in one month. So why are we talking about getting a roi of 100% in less than 1 year (like a real business)  I'm tired of people like you... Batch two first day was 75 bitcoin, the bitcoin was 20 USD at the time. Walletbit presented a failure system, they postponed for two weeks, price raised a little bit, people from second wave orders pay less bitcoin. And now guess what? I read somewhere, first come first serve but buyers from the first day are not getting the machines first, |

Im having a hard time communicating with walletbit, they answer my ticket like this:
Hi I am xxxx, I will have yyyy to check on your case.
Thanks.
Then, I receive one email from yyyy:
Hi, I am yyyy, I will check your case and get back to you soon.
Thanks.
Its been a week now and nothing.
Is this a serious company?
I cant even see a telephone number to contact them.
If anyone from walletbit is watching this is my Ticket ID: EVP-159-76895

Pessoal,
acho que estão fazendo errado, to vendo comentario de 'negociacao tranquila' no untrusted (nao confiavel).
Alguem pode me explicar esse negocio?
Se uma pessoa fora da sua trust list te da um feedback, fica como unstrusted feedback. Nao deixa de ser um depoimento valido. |

Aye! Ten more days till shipping time. Let's add more pillars to the BTC network... and get rewarded in doing so. I leave you with this pic, gentlemen.  "ten more days"... Sorry guys, but quoted for the lulz And I'm a customer too, so I'm making fun of myself  And that picture saves the thread.  |

As annoying as it is that Avalon are delayed I think a lot of you here need to stop and think for a minute. Now I don't know Yifu's full biography or anything but from what I know he is just one man, a student, a very clever one at that. What he and his (small) team have done is nothing short of genius. Put yourself in his shoes for a minute... I can't imagine how much of a nightmare it must be to produce these chips, let alone 900 Avalon machines. From the ground up. They have had trouble with the flow of manufacturing by the looks of things... could you seriously do any better???!! Not only has is been hard work for them to ship the machines smoothly, they now have to arrange the logistics of these 700,000+ chips! Imagine that!!!! Either Yifu is: a) Crapping his pants - who is he going to have to pay to get these shipped accordingly and how much is it going to cost? Can he even manage it on his own? b) Jumping for joy on account of all the monies $$ Either way there is a lot of hard work to do. This is not IBM or Sony, it is a small start-up company now having to deal with massive orders on a global scale! How do we know there isn't some 'higher power' responsible for this erratic delivery and missing/damaged units . If the governments are worried about bitcoin then Avalon is a serious threat to them.... all that hashing power being distributed all over the world - government no likey Just please put yourself in Yifu's and his teams shoes before you start complaining saying they are a poorly run company. They are a team of a few people now responsible for massive amount of orders and huge sums of money! Where would you start at designing an ASIC mining chip, finding a foundry that is willing to fabricate your chips, and then shipping them worldwide... from China? Did you buy from them, yes or no? |

Check if the cables are still the same color when you started to use, if not avoid them, or put less pressure on them if they are getting darker. This will happen next to the connectors, where they heat most.
Be safe.
Also its always smarter do the math before setting up your setup.
