[Announcement] Avalon ASIC Batch #1 Ships

[JerimiahJohnson]

As to the people that post in every thread asking "where is my unit?" and talk about all the e-mails and pms sent.  It is hard to know if the reason they are not getting their units is because of all the complaining, or if all the complaining is caused by not getting their units.

All batch #1 units have been shipped according to other posts from avalon team.

If we don't trust them, we won't throw the pre-order money to them .
I believe they are tring hard to solve every problem.

Avalon is no scam, they are legit as they come I think they are just a bit understaffed and its not an easy task to send this huge amount of heavy hardware from china to all over the world.

I personally ordered a decent amount of units and have received 1/3 of them. and they are amazing. I cant wait to receive the remaining units!

Dear Yifu & NGZhang:

  Where is my batch #1, order 200000357 units? They should reach me at the begining of March , or at least the middle of March, cause I'm in Shanghai and there is no international transport time and no customs issues.

  I have tried every means to reach you and pm you every day , but the only response here is a pm from BitSyncom at March 24, you think my address have problem. I'm in Shanghai China and I leave a English address, it is correct and reachable, and I have my phone open , but no one even try to ship it?!

  Anyway , I reply to you with a updated Chinese address, and hope I will receive it the next 1 or 2 days. But there is nothing!

  The batch #3 begins, I have to pay in RMB!

  The address I reply at March 24 is correct, so, what is the problem?

  But , till now, my batch #1 avalon is still in the air. Where is them?

  Please tell me do you ship them out ? what's the tracking no?

  Thanks again , and again ...... cause I pm you every day with the address and order no.

welcome to the club;  I have a lower order number than you and mine hasn't shipped yet either .  They are still shipping it appears... patience!  It is hard, I know I'm also wondering how long it is going to take for mine to ship too!

thank you

annoys me to know one guy in China does not have his unit, and many others have more than 2, how is this protecting the network?

After increasing their price from $1500 to $5000-$7000 or whatever it ended up being is very blatantly not trying to protect anything except filling their pockets with money. It baffles me the hundreds of thousands of dollars these guys received and can't even hire some kid to help with at least simple customer service responses and paper work. Just wait until more units are out in the wild and some start to  break or have problems. Good luck with getting help. "But I paid $6000 for it", so what, we don't have customer service.

Since Yifu explicitly stated that your unit would the last of batch one to ship, please let all of us batch two hopefuls know when you've received it.

The new price is 75BTC. I repeat, 75 BITCOINS. Whatever the exchange rate with fiat currency it doesn't matter...

If you are/were a prominent member of the BTC community (I am not claiming to be one, btw) then 75BTC should make absolute sense, because 75BTC is 75BTC. Not dollars.

If you had already mined 75BTC then 75BTC does not = $7000+

Which also points to the reasoning that the people getting their hands on these first ASICs deserve to have one because they have been supporting the network for years already. Also, only people in the scene knew about batch #1 anyway! I was lucky enough to get batch #2. Now there are a load of (wait for it) 'noobs' winging about batch #3 and the price etc.

Do you not understand the bigger picture?

These ASICs are going to boost the Bitcoin networks' strength dramatically. FORGET ABOUT THE MONEY UNLESS YOU HAVE BATCH#1.

This was Yifu's grand idea to begin with: Strengthening the Bitcoin network.

If you're in it for a quick buck then generally you are not the kind of person Avalon were intending to sell too in the first place. This is much more about the bigger picture, for me at least......

The Bitcoin network is getting bigger and better, and more importantly.... more and more unstoppable!


On another note:

Anyone else notice the recent media 'propoganda' on Bitcoins? The BBC especially... I keep reading more and more articles from them in which their facts are just plain wrong or seriously outdated.

Today Jeff Garzik posted a link to Financial Times article about Bitcoin claiming it as bubble. That's mean THEY are nervous -> we are on the right way, friends.

I have the units in my possession as of April 5th. It was a quick delivery (2 days). That is once it shipped from HK.

Avalon team I appreciate the opportunity to have a share in this history making project even if it is from the perspective of the end user.

Congratulations.

If you had already mined 75BTC then 75BTC does not = $7000+

Unless Avalon somehow has a contract with a supplier denominated in BTC, then yes, 75BTC most certainly does equal over USD$7,000... Or more likely, RMB¥43,000.

Almost anyone on this forum "believes" in Bitcoin as far, far more than a get-rich-quick scheme.  That doesn't mean we don't expect some return for sinking $7k into it.

received some more packages today from my good friends at Avalon.

I am officially at the half way mark.

Many thanks to my Chinese Friends.

can't wait to get the second half of my order!
