Avalon batch [2] countdown!

[rudrigorc2]

As a Batch 3 92xx Order I am at the end of the avalon line - I just hope the machine arrives before the chips get delivered.

That would messed up. Like delivering b3 before b2.

They are giving much time for Batch1 people to wipe the bitcoins, give batch2 people some time too, and b3, then deliver the chips. That would be fair. If they dump all in the same week, whats the point of having diff batches?

Also, raid BFL and stole their box of fans. They are becoming real (i suppose that they already have a deal with asicminer, so i won't care about them).

Batch 2 was supposed to ship from the 5th of march to the 5th of april. Then the 5th of april was moved to the 15th of april. Then they came out with their "new smt line" stuff and said that they would be online and ship "really fast" starting from the 15th of april, until the end of the month. The 15th of april they said to have started shipping, now they claim to have shipped 20 units (certainly not to the trade ins as they have yet to pay) and that since that some people of their team is sick, they are late, and that they received the smt line but that it could take until the second week of may (now) to put it online. No timeline was given about how fast they will ship after that their new smt line is working.

No update was given, and that's is a 2 months delay.

Also, after that they sold out batch 2, they claimed that the trade ins customers, that did not paid at the time, 1) where not part of the 600 units limit (they probably have 1000s of trade in units) 2) they would ship before the regular customers, cause "we are not special".

Batch 2 customers paid at the firsts of February because they needed to buy resistors & capacitors "to be able to ship on time". I'm quite sure that they have the resistors and capacitors, and that they could have shipped on time too, if they wanted.

For me batch 1 shipped and then arrived mid-April;  at one point Avalon was scheduled for shipping Mid January....

So my batch 1 arrived after Batch 2 was supposed to start shipping...   just to put that into perspective;  perhaps the projections were a little aggressive on shipping dates?

Uh what, no. How do you figure?

BFL is about a year late? let's say 10 months, at least.

Batch 2 was supposed to ship April 15th.  It's not even May 15th yet.  

I'm no math wizard, but what are you talking about.

The original ship date for batch #2 was the beginning of March so they are now over 2 months late as of today. Luckily the increased exchange rate mitigates the loss from this delay for those that planned to sell the BTC. I spent BTC to mine more BTC and wasn't planning on selling any time soon but I also factored in a delay so I'm still on target to meet my expected ROI in BTC but any more delays will be cutting it close.

The delays are getting unbearable. I don't understand why some try to explain away how it shouldn't be a big deal.

[tempestb]

BFL isn't a year late, yet anyway.  They took orders starting in June, but said they wouldn't ship until October?  Something like that.

I'm in the capitulation phase.

[Keninishna]

I'm over the anger phase and now in the rejection/depression phase.

[organofcorti]

I'm in acceptance.

[GenTarkin]

The main thing to be concerned about is pretty much what the difficulty will look like when they finally do get around to shipping. But, just for being angry at them just cuz they are late, and diff isnt skyrocketing *yet* .. is kinda crappy.
I must admit Im dissapointed and annoyed but, not freakin angry and in arms about it. BFL still hasnt gotten a huge part of their orders out and wont for a month+ .. diff is slowly climbing, its not skyrocketing yet.

When I ran some quick projections when I was contemplating to even buy into batch 2 .. I think I projected diff to be at 15-20mil range... so far it looks on track for that, its no big deal. If diff hits 50mil and we are without our units tho, then its an entirely different story =(

Hopefully it will be news on batch 2 =P .. but highly doubt it, prolly just more bitcoin propoganda along w/ how great these somewhat non existent asics are...

Ask him if he can recommend a good source for hookers and blow in NY ... he'll probably know the best quality sources ...

[Aseras]

Looks like somebody's giant ego is still mad that it didn't get special treatment...

I just focus my thoughts on how happy I will be when it arrives!
ZEN
If we all have positive attitude things will become better.
Lets all post some good things.

Like:

Hello Avalon, I am thankful to you because I know you think of me and will do your best for me. You know how much I miss my ASIC
Good things always return in good.

Having placed a Day 1 order with BFL and still waiting on it I see some of you guys have not developed the "eh whatever" I have now.

Order placed for Batch 3 - check
Bitpay payment made - check
Avalon doing something on their end - check
Shiny silver box with fancy gloves arriving at my door - Pending.

It's a race now.  Between my ASICMiner shares, my BFL Single and my Batch 3 Avalons.

In the meantime I'll just have to settle for watching my kids grow up and kissing my wife.... pity
