Avalon will ship 290 units by tomorrow, correct?

[el_rlee]

Since he didn't say squat, I assume he's just torturing Batch 1 just to surprise the customers.. Kinda like how Satoshi dice 0 will scare you with a monkey.

other companies also have pretty housings... http://mineforeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/EndOfWorkRoom1andTheDoublePowerSupply.jpg

also - didn't you receive the email?

"Clear for take off, abide a week late.

Deadline has arrived so an update is in order, earlier this week the shipping problem is more or less solved and we are gearing up to dispatch the units, due to the week of delay from before compounded with lingering issues with the recovery from CNY the outlook for shipping time-frames are the following:

Starting from next Monday, units will be en route to their country of destination and tracking numbers will follow maybe 2~3 days after (it is at this point onward which you can expect an email from us with the tracking information), we expect this process to continue to the 10th of March until all the units have been shipped out, if all is well people will get their units in-hand in the middle of March.

 
Trade-In Situation
After much thought, we believe we have figured out the best system for Trade-Ins that will allow people to continue to mine with their FPGA as long as possible yet still able to get their ASIC on the second batch on time. The process will work as follows:

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:

Sorted from Highest to Lowest.

Developers - e.g. bitcoin core dev and other bitcoin contributor we feel deserve this treatment.
Trade-Ins/Old Customers - your unit will ship soon as we receive the FPGA and you've paid the difference.
Regular Batch #2 Customers - Unfortunately you are not special.
 
Other Fun News
This scheduled newsletter had failed because we surpassed the free 2000 MailChimp quota and manual action was required.
Christmas comes early this year. The present we got was the BFL March 1st bet earnings.
Looking back, it was not terribly surprising that failure and delay comes from the only thing not taken cared in-house, Shipping.
Lessons learned. Batch #2 process will have improvements, minor design adjustments and other goodies."

w00t.  Now if only they had wings so they could fly to their destinations.

Amazing!

OK, we can pretty sure that they did not ship 50+ miner one month ago. Yifu seems was lying about the shipping status.

Dishonesty seems to be a pre-requisite for ASIC vendors...unfortunately.

Actually he said they were *attempting* to ship 53 units.  It appears that the attempt was unsuccessful.

I count 24 units in that pic.  I hope you guys have more than that.

I hope that all the boxes visible in the background are filled with ready-to-ship units.

I see the unboxed units have their wifi antennas attached.  I hope this doesn't cause any Customs issues (they're funny about radio transmitters sometimes).

I missed that... I guess the part missing in the picture is also the power cords attached and the machines running on a test net, the cables nicely hidden from sight.

FTFY. BFL did not claim that they shipped.

Avalon said they shipped in January.

We shipped

You may be confused by promised ship dates, but promises don't mean shit these days.

[el_rlee]

BFL will become a drama - wait until the units wouldn't even be profitable any more if you had them now.

[PuertoLibre]

You may be confused by promised ship dates, but promises don't mean shit these days.

Double standard, I see that you allow BFL to get away with a repeating 130+ day "shipping soon..later this year or the next" but don't give the same treatment to Avalon if they do the same for...all of 8 days. (When their first unit shipped after the appointed time.)

-------------------------

Now if you want to hold a double standard for mass shipping I'd be willing to hear you out. Then again, Avalon is the only one that actually shipped any units.

BFL is still (yes still) working on it.

Today passed by and there was no word if the chip exploded at 500Mhz or if it pushed into the 1.1GigaHertz range successfully.

I guess no one noticed?

Wouldn't it be nice if by March 10th, 2013, Yifu would send all 600 Units :3? One can dream.

I have my order at half of the batch and I think I will be lucky if I receive it by the firsts of April. I think that the worst case scenario is 20ths of April.

Myself, I wanna enjoy some easy mining with my batch 1 unit before batch 2 lands right away to pwn up more shares.

Proof of the attempt:



Damn, I had heard UPS was going through tough times, but DAMN...

He could be doing just that.  Busting ass to ship 300 units by the 10th correctly.

It won't happen... We will see batch 2 mid April.
I don't think to be pessimist, why do everyone here think they will become rich fast? (Irony!)

Just like I don't know, you don't either.  So why not just wait and see what happens rather and throwing salt over and over again?

Because while I have a big batch 2 order I don't act like everyone else here. I'm realist.
