[Announcement] Avalon ASIC Batch #1 Ships

[xempew]

Hey guys, just got a batch of tracking numbers, going to send out emails through out the day today.

I've heard nothing either.  My order was placed 23 minutes after Keefe's, number 20000017x, so I expect I'm not too far behind him in the queue.  I'm also in the US.

I sure wish I could login to the avalon webstore and see the status of my order, and maybe tracking information, but alas the link 404s anymore.

I can tell you it's shipped as your tracking info was on the list, so is Keefe for that matter.

Thanks for the update, Yifu.

May I ask for an estimate of how many Batch 1 units are left to ship at this point?

[ewibit]

it took one hour to to unbox them and have them up and running.

how is it about the noise?

I have not received any info/response regarding my order 200000198, but now I'm confident that Avalon team really can DELIVER

Woohoo!  

Thank you for the confirmation!  No email yet, but I haz some more patience.

I plan to take the day off when it's scheduled to arrive, so I'll be sure to be home to receive it (I imagine it may require a signature.)

<whine>What about me, who's post was in between Keefe's and Bogart's</whine> I just called DHL and they do not have information on any incoming packages.  I have an order # less than 20000017x, paid immediately after ordering, so I am now extremely concerned that my order was actually canceled.

Bitsyncom, can you please confirm my order?  This has been unresolved for 2 months.

Bitsyncom, any update on this issue?  You said you would be able to address it when you returned to NYC.



Ticket #25, created 1 month ago, remains untouched.

This really makes Butterfly look like idiots. A young kid against an entire company and the entire company can't even produce a working prototype? And Avalon is already shipping? Jesus man, what corruption.

They are not company speaking of their technical skills. they are just a proxy between real developers/fabrics located in china probably and they had a long and nice partner fxxxk for the last half+ year. They just do not admit it and never will. That is the reason for TOM/BASIC Failure. These are the facts as i see them. BFL have nothing to do about it because their partners are making the delays no matter how hard they try to look like "high tech company which is designing a CUSTOM asic" - complete bullshit. Being a good manager and taking money does not mean that only management can produce asics from nothing. From the other hand nghzand proved many times that he has the skills and knowledge. And here we go Yufu is taking care of business maters and all are happy

Oooops except BFL customers  

PS: Butterfly are not idiots they are just bumpers at least for a month already.

No instructions, just follow the info on

http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Avalon

setup the network, fill in your cgminer config and reboot

[kaerf]

no instructions. there is another thread with an installation guide.

basically you plug in a ethernet cable, browse to 192.168.0.100, reconfigure network and add your mining pools.

Hey kaerf, can you measure PSU fan intake clearance? IE, the distance between the PSU fan grill and the back of the first module PCB?

[muyuu]

Seriously jealous now.

What's a realistic shipping date for someone making an order just now? I just don't want to gamble that much. If it's going to ship in 3-4 months time FSM knows where will difficulty be at that point...

I would suggest waiting until batch 2 customers start to receive theirs. It should give you an adequate idea of when Batch 3 users will get theirs.

The problem is CNY (Chinese New Year) was in the way of the first and second batch. So there is no real way to know how long it should take from ordering to having it in your hands.

If you wanna get on the train, you're gonna have to order when batch 3 opens no matter what.  You won't get another chance until batch 4.

Whether batch 2 will ship before then or not is anyone's guess.
