10000 USD arrived. A submitted it a week before the freeze out. Arrived yesterday. Will post up some pics when I get to a desktop. Other success cases welcome!

Exciting day today. Simultaneous conferences taking place in two cities! Was this planned?

One was by asicminer in Shanghai and the other in Beijing held mainly for the press about hashing hardware. A lot of stuff went on and I will provide more updates as the reports and pics start coming in.

I'll also forward links to btcman forums and translate whatever people might wanna know.

Three more orders to go and we have a million chips blasting our network with another 300T of hashing juice!

Would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the folks at Avalon, and also thanking them for letting their babies roam in the wild. Like all things bitcoin, chips just want to have their fair share of freedom!

Amidst their odd call for rockstar help, I think most people missed the big picture. They may be late to the party, but when you're bringing in P sized hashing power, you won't be considered late for another seven months.

Whether it's a scam or a party crasher or the guy who delivers the Pizzas that everybody is waiting for, it's still worthwhile to watch this space. Especially since they're not asking for preorder. Or equity investment. Which is refreshingly out of place these days.

It is quite odd how things are developing for the common consumer. They start out as investors then become debtors and at a later stage turn into refunders and the way things are going, eventually partakers in class action lawsuits.

Thanks to Avalon's vision of a balanced approach, their chip sales have made the following possible:

NPO's This is NOT pre- order.  You will be buying finished and tested products.  

Price:  BTC and USD. BTC will be a mark up on chip prices. USD will be based on production costs related to PCB and machine parts. The USD portion will be minimal mark up.

  Shipping:  any shipping method of your choice.

  Sales service:  full time sales service, which would be expected of any reasonable seller. That's because the reasonable seller doesn't have hectic sales service since  we are selling existing products and not vaporware.  i.e. only two weeks worth of work to satisfy any customer.

 Why don't you mine yourself? I could do. But a bitcoin in hand is worth two in the bush. The whole point of Avalon chip sales is to stabilize the mining base. As such, everybody wins.  

 So what is the price? It depends on a lot of factors, but as a guideline I am looking for 50 to 100% mark up on chip BTC costs and maybe around 10 percent on USD. A very handsome profit in any industry, so there may be leeway for downside, depending on the going hashrate and expected newcomers to the ASIC scene. Similar to Avalon's approach, ROI is very important.

Expected in August.

Anybody else see this?

BitSynCom: I am trying to order, if it is glitch, could you please look into it when convenient, thanks.
