I would have thought my response would have been fine unless you don't want people to order blades after reading that article?
would you mind keeping this thread on topic to it's intent as a group buy for the blades? you are free to discuss your questions on other threads on these forums, which are numerous for the topic you raise. thanks! Okay, I'll also find another place to buy blades from too. |

Someone on reddit pointed out those numbers are off: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1i2w63/latest_shipment_of_avalon_asics_could_increase/cb0lbqmTo the author:
I honor your research, but you got one important fact wrong. Those 135 parcels were the whole stack of the transportation company and combined under one MAWD ("Master Air Way Bill" - 871-50508076). This is done regulary and the picture of the parcels shows clearly another line labled with HAWD#. The "House Air Way Bill" (JHG13060373) is the internal identifier for each receiver. Each parcel has "PCS 24" printed on the shipping label and is tagged with "n/24".
I also think he received less than 374400 chips. On the upper left box is a label with "QTY: 7834" which is far less than 15600 per box. One box below: "QTY: 7815". Couldn't read the other labels due to the picture quality, but my best guess: somewhere around but higher than 187200 chips and guaranteed less than 358850 chips. Equals 52.7904 TH/s - 101.1957 TH/s with stock clocking. wrong thread! this thread is for a group buy for the upcoming ASICMiner blades... not Avalon! I'm thinking of getting a blade or two, but Vicyd was asking why anyone would buy them for that price given that we are on the verge of a 500% difficulty increase based upon that article about avalon shipments, my response was to clarify that the article is wrong, and people who want to buy the blade should not worry about this. I would have thought my response would have been fine unless you don't want people to order blades after reading that article? |

Guys? GUYS?
These units draw power a lot. Also they're very much overpriced.. Have you checked competitors (not BFL, BFL is not a competitor) products at all?
There is competitor who sells right now? I mean no pre-order shit, pure selling. I don't know but BFSB products are shipping next month. I'm skeptical when I read stuff like this (it makes me think butterfly labs): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251966.0;allAugust delivery means by August 31st. This isn't an exact science, so I'm trying to give realistic dates. I hope to exceed expectations on that. I'm 100% confident in this team and the product. There's been so much development in the last 6 - 9 months that has been kept totally under wraps. By sending our chips out into the forum community we've got independent verification that they work - Intron and C-scape were able to tweak their Avalon design and already have Bitfury's chip hashing. |

Was there any information about when they will be up for sell and when they can be expected to deliver?

Regarding the price this is the Google translate of the first note Note 1: This price is sale price, we reserve the right to re-price (depending on the time of shipment as well as other vendors shipping rate may be), and if the decision is delivered price, we are committed to refund the respective difference. Cautious orders, after the next single will be unable to refund (but if you want to pay the deposit before refund friends please contact the seller refund). |

I even almost got scammed but bitmit gave me back my BTC Exactly, so easy to 'get scammed'. Bitmit.net has an escrow service, some auction I won the user claimed they shipped it and then didn't respond to messages, and then other users started giving them negative reviews, so I contacted bitmit and they refunded it instantly. It other cases I would say you need to trust the reputation of the store, buy a few small things. To me, I hate giving my credit card, I've had my card locked so many times and having to call the bank to unlock it is just annoying. I even one time didn't unlock it for like a month and they finally called me and claimed that someone in another state used the card a couple of days ago to order stuff (when I have not been able to use my own card!) and they sat there asking me what charges were mine. |

I've bought bitcoin magazine.
I've tried btcstore.com, bitcoin bundle.
I regularly get stuff from bitmit.net (I even almost got scammed but bitmit gave me back my BTC), and now humble bundle twice.
I've also donated to various places, archive.org, etc.

You should definitely get a kill-a-watt, mine was telling me for my 5870 I was getting 400 MHashes that peaked at 300 watts. It's also not just the GPU that consumes watts, there are lots of factors, power supply efficiency, background tasks on your computer, type of CPU, etc.

What does this even mean?

Lets say that another cold war breaks out and cyber attacks divide the Internet, Or a space colony on mars when it is on the other side of the moon causes the internet to be split. At some points the internet is restored, does the bitcoin network merge the forked block chains?
What happens if someone gained access to both internets and double spent, and a lot of transactions occurred from the double spent bitcoins, how would it merge something like that? Would all 'tainted' transactions be reversed?

I like coinbase for getting bitcoin, and now for paying for the humble bundle games.
I like bitmits wallet for buying stuff on their site.
You should never keep a large balance in any online wallet though for several reason, not just for safety but also that you are giving these online wallets some power to manipulate bitcoin prices.

Has any one tried to use the mk808 with picuntu to use as a node and/or as a host for USB based mining hardware?
I tried setting the home io edition over the weekend and had so much trouble, I'm going to try regular picuntu instead but wanted to know if it is worth it?
