with kncminer having 100 GH asics on the on the way --- Avalon need to upgrade to V2
kncminer does not have any asics last time I checked. This and the higher price for the newer chips doesnt mean that the new tech is so superiour. The gh per $ isnt such a big difference. Are you nuts? Avalon charges around $50 per gh bulk chip, KnC is potentially offering $17.50 per assembled gh! Actually, if you do a group buy the going rate would be $35 for ~1gh. Plus they can be overclocked to lessen the gap to knc.. Actually, avalon goes for around $30/ghs. Saturn is 3795$/200ghs wo vat e.g. $19/ghs per assambled unit. But fact is that they dont have working asic yet and that many things can be off specs. Avalon's chips are 282 Mh/s, BTC price was between 120 and 140 during bulk buys, plus shipping. I remember at the time to the UK it worked out to around $14 a chip. ($50 was wrong sorry, mental math) I'm not including boards, heat sinks, power supply, casing, etc. A complete Jupiter unit with revised specs comes to $17.50 per Gh fully assembled. These are reputedly minimum. Both will have DIYers and nutty risk takers liquid cooling and maxing them out beyond stability. That will be fun to observe, but not participate in! The big difference is the difficulty between the two investments. Batch #1 chips should be arriving in the next few weeks. The difficulty increase between those chips and sep/oct for knc may likely render knc's ROI to never. That in my mind, makes the price difference well worth it. |

Sooo I guess this means those of us in Batch 6 won't be getting them? Found an explanation: Avalon shop has some maintenance or so.
"We do however need to bring the site down within the next few hours to upgrade for trade-in orders. So if you are running into problems ordering chips and/or viewing orders please do not panic, we expect this update to finish by later tonight ( EST time. )"

So is the process to order the chips and then wait for an email with the link to the server? Kind of confused on how to purchase. I've read over the first page, and I understand how to order the ASICs. Just trying to figure out the super-secret website part of the equation! LOL!  Purchase chips, then you get an e-mail with link to purchase assembly. |

I must have missed it but what website are you guys going to?
site is private, check your email I don't even have chips yet, so that's probably why... I'm concerned if I order today the last group won't even get enough to push the order through. It's gonna go through, someone just purchased 172 BTC worth. There's really only a few more BTC needed before the chips will be purchased. Historically, when steamboat receives half the BTC needed to purchase the batch -- he purchases it. |

Whats the website URL? I cant seem to find it anywhere...
It was mailed to those who have batch 1 chips and wanted assembly by steamboat....not released publicly I was under the impression he was taking assembly orders for at least the first three batches all at once... I could be wrong there. Anyone without any Order 1 chips get the email? Go back a page or two, steamboat answered this question. |
