Avalon second batch sold out

[nrlafd]

Last price on mtgox $27.70 .. Has the pop today in bitcoin price got anything to do with the Avalon orders taken yesterday?
They're only accepting bitcoin of course. Avalon was taking pre-orders yesterday for the next batch and apparently sold out fairly quickly.  There were about 100 left when I looked.  Anyone know how many units in the whole batch?

Nope,

But I wouldn't deal with a company that only took preorders in BTC simply because that something priced at 1000 BTC might actually be purchaseable at 12,000 USD, but due to the transaction rate I would be forced to pay close to 27,000 for it. Sorry but no go

I think the last I read was they were trying to sell 500 in this batch.

People acquiring bitcoin to purchase Avalons probably did little to the price. The fact that ASICs are putting a higher barrier to entry on mining might be part of what has been fueling this latest upswing.

What I mean is that BTC wise the price pr ASIC's will be adversely affected due to the rising BTC price as long as the company you want to deal with ONLY accepts bitcoins as payment.

I don't think it affected the btc-usd price too much.

Where are these people getting all this money to buy there units? I wish they would stop monopolizing the hash's.

I think the common man can still get in, provided that they pre-order a machine.  However $30k for the top machine is a form of monopolizing the hash's..........at least from the common man.  Nevertheless, there should be room for new miners.
