[Announcement] Avalon ASIC Batch #1 Ships

[MonsterZero]

The only time I saw a room like that it was a "clean room"

[fortyniner]

Anyone know what the lowest order number is? Does anyone have an order number below 200000100?

Yeah, way lower.  My BFL order is # 8812.

The only time I saw a room like that it was a "clean room"

They were using "name" facilities for manufacturing so it's entirely possible that it's part of Fujitsu's facility.

And yeah, everyone needs to realise that customs issues can bring shit undone at the final hurdle.  When the first unit arrives in a customer's hands, people can relax a bit - although you can still have customs issues with specific countries.

Really. I have an order of Li-Ion batteries and a charger I bought from Buyincoins* sitting in customs since mid-December, and it hasn't moved. Normally most packages from them get through in two weeks.

*Which shockingly doesn't take Bitcoin.

@MrTeal

what is on pic. #4? is this facility WC? or this is ASIC?

It's a contracted fab, its whatever was running when they got a tour probably.

This is where it gets weird.  It may or may not actually be stuck in customs.  I've had orders delivered when the tracking information assures me it still in customs awaiting clearance.  I've also heard of routine orders from Amazon apparently being stuck in customs for long periods but when the order is actually tracked (as opposed to someone taking the information on their screen as gospel), it's somewhere else entirely - sometimes returned to its point of origin for no apparent reason.

Sometimes companies assume that the paperwork necessary to export something from their country will be adequate at the receiving end. That's not always the case.

Large companies pay customs agents to make sure that all of the relevant licences are obtained and that the paperwork is in order for both the country of origin and the recipient country.  Small companies can't afford that and it can be frustrating trying to get the destination paperwork in order for multiple countries which have different import requirements.

Maybe someone who works or knows someone in customs is bribing the agent to fill the boxes with popcorn and will start hashing on his own knowing it won't be traceable and people will just blame Avalon.

Has anybody got a bonified Tracking NO from UPS,FEDEX or any other shipping company ??

If people have tracking nums read belong story as INFO only

Here is a story.... In OZ it is common that IT company's run/owned by people of ASIAN heritage have a habit of getting large CREDIT accounts owed to suppliers such as INGRAM MICRO & others  (i.e 1 mil hear 700k there ) the company's may have been trading for 5+ years and for whatever reasons  they jump on a plane and disappear into mainland china

Never to heard from again and totally untraceable due to china's Fu*k Y*u policy

Is there tracking Numbers somewhere

There was a thread started by Tom, he was offering those chips for bulk sale, but the topic is now removed on the grounds that Tom's account got compromised.

Since the thread in your sig is locked it probably would make sense to change your sig ...

Good call, to your answer your question: the source code will be uploaded to github soon as we remove a bunch of debug related stuff.

/sarcasrm

kanoi waits for the next post about the hard drive that failed and they didn't have a backup ...

Edit: I will point out the obvious - you are breaking the license doing that.
The software you have already shipped with the devices is the source code you must supply to anyone who rightfully requests it.
Not some modified version of it ... so you already have the code (unless the devices have been shipped but not working?)

I get this shudder in my spine every now & then due to the huge drama of ASIC that all players including AVALON... that all 3 bars may be a valid place for all pre-order customers

Where are the Tracking # for Avalon product.... Is it just me or is something not right if nobody can come up with valid resposnes

I long for the olden days of GPU's  where rigs where rigs and power bills where as big as the men that ran them...lol
