The silence from Avalon is getting really embarrassing. Only one batch has been shipped AFAIK.

No, I didn't receive notification from Avalon yet. First batch from Zefir was ordered on April 16th but I hope we don't have to wait 14 days before ours ship. Will keep you updated.

Hi All,

Thanks for the switf payment. Just received a message from Avalon that they will start shipping chips mid July. I'll keep you all updated on order progress.

Just to clarify, I wil pay the 2% escrow fee to John!
@wallydz I will pay back the fee to you (will PM you for details)

Winning bids:
Total including 0.5 BTC shipping fee


John K. will post escrow address shortly, please make payments within 24 hours.
I will PM you for shipping details.

Thanks for bidding!

Thanks for the suggestion. We are currently offering a limited amount of boards based on Burnin's design (assembly will be done by Burnin in Germany), but we still have some chips available from our batch if you want to offer boards based on K1 / K16 design.

I have 708 credits for BFL Chips. PM me if you are interested.

Perhaps you can let asicme.com make a bid in this thread, this is an auction after all? Seems not so fair to cancel the auction before it is ended.

Payment was completed on April 30th, so week 8. Sample chips arrived last week.

Ok, tnx for the suggestion:

Received notification as well, sample chips send from Beijing (with EMS).

Updated the list with links to project announcement or website.
Anyone knows if Avalon or AsicMiner are working on a new chip?
Bitmine is also stating to be working on a new generation ASIC chip, anyone got more information on that (http://bitmine.ch/?page_id=29)?

Many projects are popping up recently announcing new ASIC chip development. So I'm trying to figure out who is out there designing new chips and what are the chip specifications (Hashrate/powerconsumption) and timeframe. So far I could come up with this list:



The list is probably far from complete, so appreciate additional input/information.

Also have the same problem, deposited to the address linked to my account, but even after +80 confirmations BTC doesn't show up in my WeExchange account (I've done 2 deposits before and those were available in my account after 6 confirmations ). Opened a ticket as well.

Update: funds received, took about 20h to get deposited into account.

Just some rough calculation:

If AsicMiner can hold about 10% of marketshare (where marketshare = Total Hashpower of Bitcoin network). At this marketrate, it would mine about 131,400 BTC per year (Total amount of BTC mined by network is 25 BTC every 10 minutes -> 1,314,000 BTC/Year).

So for the next four years, weekly dividend would be around 0.00631731 BTC/share or 0,3285 BTC/year/share ( = 131,400 BTC/year / 400,000 shares).

At the current rate of 1.2 BTC per share, this would mean a yearly ROI of 27%. This calculation does not include the amount reserved by AsicMiner to reïnvest in new hardware etc, so ROI would probably be less and also greatly dependent on marketshare.

Thank's for your view! I'll see if I can stack up some more BTC as to provide chip liquidity in the future.
