I'd like to see these go FASTER! The Hex16a's do 7.2, correct? at 450mhz?

Keep in mind, Toms is doing no O/C, no option flags, it's basically out of the box with guiminer. My guess is that a fully tweaked setup would be in the 950 KH/s range for scrypt. Still, lower than I anticipated. 2x$200 7950s are a better deal.

What Yifu did was dishonorable and shameful. If you choose to do business with him, you are bringing shame on yourself for financially supporting such a person, regardless of how good of a deal you get.

Ok now that we'll finally be getting these, what is everyone using to power these and switch on the power? Is everyone using the paperclip method with an atx power supply or has anyone made a switch? Also the only thing I need yet is a decent USB hub. Any cheap 8-10 ports that you all recommend?
It would be a downright miracle if these shipped this week. Incomplete hosting facilities mean that miners that are completed still cannot be shipped because of FIFO. Also, testing. Steamboat, if you are reading this, I kindly decline testing if it means the miners are shipped sooner. I wouldn't spend much money on anything... I'm just using molex to pci-e adapters on a PSU that runs my litecoin miners, then using an extra eeepc to run cgminer/ssh. It has 3 usb ports, so non hub required for my 3 miners. |

How quickly will finished units be produced?
Fully assembled miners are expected to ship within 72 hours of delivery from Avalon. sigh. Will testing delay the boards further or have they been tested already and are only waiting for firmware? |

DZ - I wouldn't even bother replying to eroxors, he's nothing but a troll, just looking to make trouble. There are no answers you can give him that will "satisfy" his trolling. Let me suggest that you examine a few of his past posts.
He has no clue that your GB involves BA only because they're the ones fabbing your boards with the Bitfury chips the GB organizers bought and sent to them.
No... I'm in a bad mood. Also, I'm simply replying to the OP's question. In my opinion, there are very few "trustable" operations. Clearly you and DZ are business partners, you may very well be legit, but I'm not giving you the benefit of the doubt. Your accounts are both new. What have you actually sold? Have you had successful transactions with members of the forums that will vouch for you? These are things to consider. I have over 20k in customers equipment currently in my warehouse (minimum). Im about to receive ~300 16 chip BF boards, I have serveral signed agreements with Black Arrow, My business information AND number are publicly available, and I dont sleep, so Im happy to talk to pretty much anyone about anything. And the fabbing/chips is not true, so please re read the thread. I paid for the Chips AND Assembly out of my pocket, and neither minersource or the GB by DZ will be paying me until I deliver these boards (as per my agreements with them). Thats how they can offer the prices they do, and the refund guarantee that they do. I wont get a cent of anyones money until I have taken delivery, and have started shipping. If this does not happen on or before Friday the 1st of NOvember (as stated in many many places) anyone who wishes to have a refund will get one, as none of the pre-order money will have been spent. Consider it a escrow of sorts to make sure I deliver. Apparently the coins under eroxors name seem to give him the false pretense that it could be used in a forum-like dick measuring contest. The "you're new so you're not legit" logic went out the window when hero members started to become scammers. If he wants to pleasure himself by being in the BFL preorder line for a year, I'd say let him. You're putting words in my mouth. What I said was that DyslexicZombei throws up red flags for me. It's unclear to me if DZ is affiliated with BA or just a customer. The general suggestions for what to look for prior to sending BTC to a hardware seller still apply. |

wtf is with people buying Avalon shit after what Yifu has done?
Strictly business, its all about GH/s, price and delivery time. So why not  Yifu screws you this time, you think he won't do it again? -ev long term to continue to support scammers like this. |

To be honest with the OP, anything this DyslexicZombei guy does is throwing up red flags for me. I'm not saying he's a scammer, but he comes across as very eager to get your BTC.
I'm a John K. Escrow vetted IT engineer that helps offer the best at-cost and below-cost deals to the forum. John K. knows where I live if anyone gets scammed. I've never scammed anyone in my life and don't intend to start (you know how f'n stupid that would be to lose my job over $50-60K? Not worth it at all) Here's one wallet I use for GBs; it's done over 262 BTC worth of transactions without a single incident: https://blockchain.info/fb/1c5r7t I don't need your money or BTC. I only started our co-op to try to give "little guy" miners access to scam-free Insitutional Pricing. That's it.I'm no greedy mofo or some guy starting a fake ASIC company like ASX Project or Phoenix Technologies. We've been successful with this model, which is the friendliest and cheapest GB deals you'll find. I spend 20 hours+ a week of my free time (for months for free) to try to give the community the best deals around and to keep things humming along. Unless you've been in our shoes: you have no idea how much work it takes to be GB Coordinator on these forums. Lots and lots of thankless work (and distrust and accusations without proof (not necessarily you, but other people) ). I don't make a direct profit off any of our at-cost or below-cost GB shares. We have the lowest priced GB shares anywhere and it's priced that way on purpose. My eventual cut is 0.25-0.37% of the miners BTC earned as part of a commission from the world's lowest Hosting/management fees of 2.75%. In other words, in the near term: I'm not exactly going to get rich off of this percentage of mining output.  No one hosts miners for free. It costs money to host miners. It's cheaper for me to have bobsag3 run our miners then for me to pay 8x his electricity rate to run them in Hawaii. The usual fee for this for GBs and miner hosting is 3% and above. What material products have you actually sold? What engineering college did you go to? Why do you have so much free time as a fully-employed engineer? How old are you? These are the questions that jump out in my mind before I would give you btc. With all due respect to John K. having him hold your contact information does nothing to stop you from running with $50k, changing your legal name, and buyers never hearing from you again. We've heard scammer after scammer "try to help the little guy." What legit BTC businesses do is 1. Not hide their identity, even if it's safe and sound with "John K." 2. Provide references to their past work 3. Have a phone number that rings to them during business hours 4. Not spend so much time drumming up business before actually delivering anything You don't need to respond to any of this, but that's what I look for when evaluating people on these forums. |

These are worth less than the $90 it cost to assemble them now that BEs are $7 and Blades are $220. Talk about value depreciation.... I paid 9BTC for 3 miners.... $1800 at today's prices... now worth less than $300.
SB, you let us down. I know some of it was out of your hands, but poor decisions clearly were made. Refunds for all batches should have been requested. The hosting infrastructure should have been ready. The boards should have shipped immediately, even with high error rates. Radio silence is also concerning.
We rolled the dice with Yifu, and lost.
We rolled the dice with bkk, and lost.
We rolled with SB, and lost.
Time to move on and not roll any more dice.

He's just gettin the hosting setup,it ain't running yet.Hope to change that tomorrow  I'm helping with cooling solutions as he sets up the infrastructure to host with. Hes got most of the miners assembled(if not all) & I think hes loading firmware on em as we speak  Ahh, I guess you can't do FIFO if hosting isn't ready... ugh. |

Imagine if steamboat is already mining with our miners for a week and surprises us with cash and offers free hosting...
They've been assembled for two weeks now, right? Seriously SB, please throw us a bone. KNC and bitfury both got the drop on us... my btc has evaporated in thin air. Are you trying to get damages from Yifu? He's now selling 10k chips for 100btc. |

http://avalon-asics.com/product/avalon-110nm-chip-10000-tray/10,000 Chips at 100 BTC, those who pay more than 700 BTC we felt ripped off, the price of bitcoin has not risen as much as 7 times to reduce the cost, we have all lost our bitcoins not rising difficulty, just to pay the profit margin of these people ... if we had paid 100 BTC in his day could still reach the ROI I hope everyone take note, we are being ripped off with the profit margin of manufacturing a asic. Fuck you yifu. |

My 5% stake is still for sale. I will take the best offer, whatever it might be as long as it's worth my time to print, revise, scan and e-mail the new contract. One buyer has reneged, another is not communicating any more.
