Anyway you cut it, it will be risky.

I don't understand, batch 3 is sold out, so who are you going to buy it from?

You're a few weeks late bro...

no guys. my order is still active for redemption.

You should email Avalon support and confirm that and post what they send you back before asking for BTCRed Flag

I have a batch 1 in hand....mining away....would only take a serious BTC offer, local pickup (US)

Sell it to me now Smiley
844  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: [Group Buy] Avalon ASICs Batch #4 on: April 08, 2013, 07:14:00 PM
Avalon has stated that at this point, there is not Batch #4.  They are doing some private mining.   Being that you have your payment address on here, really raises RED FLAGS.   People around here are very cautious (or should be) about pre-ordering products that do not have even an official ship date.

I do believe there is a difference in assumed value and a pile of cash.  Alas what do i know?  Wink


If someone has one and wants to sell it, I'm sure I can give you the most money for it, but it looks like a "farm" will not happen right now Smiley 

Good luck everyone

I agree but you would be surprised how quickly you can turn Bitcoins in cash these days.

I will pay more than 20K for Batch #1 (No offense but seriously use a mining calculator).

848  Economy / Computer hardware / About: Avalon Batch #3 Units on: April 08, 2013, 04:53:57 PM
On Avalon Batch #3, the Bitcoin exchange rate and the uncertainty of BFL's delivery schedule.  Anyone who want to sell their Batch #3 unit to me will need  to fix the unit in a USD price and exchange at that, meaning if you want me to take that risk from you then you may need to think about accepting less coins then you paid for.

In essence, Avalon #3 are like a Bitcoin Option, the father out we are from delivery and other ASICs coming online, the less of a premium I am willing to pay because I am taking these risks from you.   PM me if you want to discuss making arrangements, I am looking to expand my mining operation.

What is your order number minus the last two digits?

If you are that close to launch, there is not need to ask for orders before you can demonstrate a working chip.    Every other so called ASIC company other than you guys come with the same line.   I would like to speak to your lead engineer and also which foundry is producing your chip?

It has highspeed internet available and cheap power (5.5/kwh).

Not cheap enough. Douglas County, WA has power at half this rate ($0.0233/kWh): http://www.douglaspud.org/Service/Schedule1GeneralService.aspx
Megabidpower.com is already building a DC there, and will sell power at $0.04/kWh: http://megabigpower.com/

Please take this debate about the cheapest power somewhere else, thanks.   Yes, I have actually been to Douglas county when I was GPU mining.  

This is not a debate. You asked for feedback. I gave you feedback.

I was expecting an answer where you would explain why power cost does not seem important enough to make it the #1 priority...

As time goes on and difficulty increases, it becomes more important.   With cheaper power, other costs go up so it is better not to bring on additional costs until they are needed.   #1 priority is technical support and constant internet connection right now.   It is over 200 miles east from Seattle over the mountain pass.  Many areas only have one ILEC for internet and sometimes no cable internet so getting redundancy can be problematic.  If we go the T1 route then that adds additional cost.   You need to figure in onsite technical support if our remote link fails or I would need to drive 4 hours to get onsite.  Getting enough clients would allow everyone to only have to burden a small piece of the costs.   

With that said, I have had some additional demand so I am actually crunching numbers to see when it will make sense to go that route.  Currently I have a two hosting location in Seattle and with the reduced costs in other areas, allows it to make sense keeping it close by at this stage. 

Sorry about calling it a debate, your question is valid and I hope to enlightens you a little more into my plan at this point, in the end, yes I am working on a transition long term into some of the cheapest power in the United States if not anywhere period.

Doesn't Washingston State have cheaper power anyways? I mean all those rivers and hydro dams gotta be good for something.

It does but if u go real cheap, it is remote.  

I see. Yeah we wouldn't want some bears chewing on our ASIC miners. So what is the average Kw/H cost in your area?


I currently get .10 kw/h, once another office opens in my building, that will be .00 kw/h Smiley   Once you get outside of Seattle, it gets even cheaper than that, down to .02 near dams.



I'm currently on 0.07 so for now I wouldn't be interested but 0.02 is really good and no doubt once the network is dominated by ASIC miners then kw/h rate will become very important. Maybe then I shall give you a shout if you still have room. Good luck!

Please do keep me in mind.   Don't just look at the power, but also the management of the miners, technical support, security and environmental controls, I offer all those as well.  Cheers!

And that, folks, is how scams work.

Next time maybe you'll listen to what everyone else is saying (or just give me BTC instead, I can assure you I will be much more entertaining and won't promise anything). Wink
Man all I have to say is no risk, no reward..... It's the Wild Wild West man. ... Everyday you mine or buy or trade bitcoin..... Something correct? That's all a scam in its self. You are putting time and energy into something that has no true value. The value is determined like a Wille Mays Rookie Card. Who the hell says it's worth $30K? It;s all imaginary what someone wants to pay for it. And the cold piece is, a Bitcoin is not real. The opportunity is real as of right now. Don't get it wrong. There is some money to be made.
Dude do you really think I care about a few measly pesos? No, It's all part of the game.
I have 7 other miners coming in..... I am in no way worried.
Thanks for your concern and the beg of coin request.
You are right, it is amusing.


No excuse.  Even though you are correct, that doesn't mean you give you coins to just anyone that says they have something.  Because Bitcoins are non-reversible, you need to put the responsibility of the seller to PROVE to you that they can actually perform and deliver.

I'm not trying to be a dick, Dalkore, but a friend oversee an operation in the Midwest while you live in Seattle doesn't make any sense.

Location:   Seattle, Washington USA

I'm sure there's a myriad of buildings available on the cheap where you're located.

Having someone dependable is key.    If you set up your infrastructure right with the right people, it could be anywhere.   The midwest location was an idea and I am still acquiring the property.   Cheap maybe different for us, this is a sweetheart deal.

So, it's safe to assume you're picking up the property regardless? I'm in Sandwich, IL, and not asking exactly where the building is located, but approximately how far do you think it's away from my location? Which direction is not important either. Only asking cause I'm curious and wanted to increase my post count before I hit the hay and dream about (insert farm animal(s) here).

The location will not be disclosed publicly for many reasons.
