Will Avalon ship on schedule??? >>> VOTE

[DobZombie]

BitSyncom said they shipped, and mentioned two of the recipients. He didn't say only two were shipped.

You're right.  I don't think this will change anything until several people are posting pictures and screenshots.

I just want my goddamn asics already!  I'll be able to retire and sell all my customs rigs, and then install the 7970 in my 'puter so I can PEW PEW PEW it up in BF3 again!

IIRC there have only been 2 shipped out, In my eyes thats nothing, They could have had someone testing the units frist before mass ship-out, And because they have paid, It counted as delivered.

We'll see how the network hashrate is affected over the next week or two.

They shipped two units, or less than 1% of their order count as of now. That's basically the same as not shipping.

Ye they've shipped out 2 prototypes

[mezzomix]

Well, let's wait for Jeff's report. If there is one working ASIC unit - prototype or not - it should not be a big deal to make additional units.

For what it's worth, I think the attitude is going to be the same when other companies ship as well - people aren't going to be satisfied until end users are posting pictures and reports.  And that's fair enough, really.

It has proven so in the past with Bitcoin Magazine, so it will likely continue to be so in the future.

remember back when inaba got the first single right...everything was mysterious and he got one early and showed it off. then regular customers receiving trickled in later

Last time I checked, not every country in the world does the whole Monday -> Friday = "the week" and Saturday -> Sunday = "the weekend" thing. But I have no clue what the custom is in China, or perhaps even that of the province Avalon team are working out of.

China has a 'regular' workweek like the rest of the world, where factories do work on a Saturday and logistics companies work around the clock. How else do you think the packages delivered on Monday arrive at the sorting center, if they would shut down things on a Friday evening?

I have personally delivered packages at the main UPS sorting center here on a Saturday evening to make sure they were shipped out on a Monday, not sure if I'd be welcome on a Sunday (probably a union thing) but surely in China anything is possible. If I look at the dates of the tracking you see loads of activity on a Sunday.

The only country I've dealt with so far that had a different workweek was in the Middle East. Iran has a Thursday/Friday weekend due to religious traditions. Israel has a work week that starts on a Sunday.

And I'm not sure why my 'cal' command always generates this:

Code:

    January 2013
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
       1  2  3  4  5
 6  7  8  9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28 29 30 31

For some people the workweek does start on a Sunday.

Our lab is open 24/7, no weekend here ;-)
