[Avalon Asic] trade-in Thread

[coretechs]

Well, looks like the trade-in plan did not materialize yet again. Batch 2 went ok this time but we did not get notified to trade in our old fpga boards.

BitSyncom has stated a few times that trade-ins are not subject to batch limitations and will be given priority shipping order.  I expect they will notify trade-in customers once they have figured out how to handle it on their end, as he mentioned in the other thread.  I assume we aren't supposed to order right now for the full price without knowing when/how the discount will be applied, but I'm not entirely certain so don't take my word for it!

Hmm, crap, too late. I went ahead and just bought into batch 2 at full price. I suppose that disqualifies me from receiving the trade in credit.

I sent them an e-mail to the "info @...." address. Dunno if or when they will reply. I'm not expecting a reply soon given that they're busy with batch 2 orders, but it would be nice if they clarified their position here on this thread or somewhere on the forum.

I don't think it would be all that hard to offer credit to those of us that got into batch 2 in spite of having existing fpga hardware to trade in. It's quite simple.

Anyways, let's await a response from the Avalon folks.

Same here! I bought 2 Avalon @ full price to no lose the opportunity and I have 2 Icarus. How can I proceed with the trade-in?

At the http://support.avalon-asic.com no one answers.

I have 1 more Icarus remaining... I would like to trade it too, if possible.

By the way, I do not need the discount (trade-in credit) (can be great, of course), but, I just want to do the trade-in to speed up my delivery.

Tks,
Thiago

Although having our ASIC miners sooner will result in a quicker ROI since they promised both trade-in credit and priority in the shipping queue I think they should honor both.

BitSyncom: we are still on stand by for the trade-in ... not sure if march 1. is still actual for us -  please confirm.

A week before batch #2 is ready to ship, we will make an announcement to those who wish to trade-in their last generation units to sent in their units, once we receive the units a custom order will be made for you to pay the difference depending on what you have trade-in, remember 1 trade-in discount/coupon is allowed per 1 Avalon unit. For clarification the shipping priority is as such:

BitSyncom:
We would like to have the shipping advantage of the trade-in position, we dont have any problem to pay the full price and keep the LANCELOT Boards and/or to order more of them.

Allso we are prepared to do some development work for AVALON in therms of cooling, with the goal to optimize the heat distribution (even if you say there is no heat problem, we dnt see it as professional to operate 5 AVALON this way in a rack cabinet).

You promised us the AVALON drawnings, but till today we have nothing to work with.

Ngzhang can confirm that GMP has 5 boards. We dont trade-in second hand hardware.

What is the current trade-in situation? Do we have to wait for a special announcement? Will it be a usual e-mail announcement for all subscribers?

One week is too short to send the equipment to China.
I would prefer to send in much earlier.
