Why all so slow, I was guessing I will receive my Avalon Batch #3 at 25M difficulty... but now my guess looks quite optimist.  

I think I drank too much waiting my Avalon

You should pray the difficulty will not jump to 100M when you received your batch#3 machine.

I think the least Avalon could do at this juncture, considering the millions and millions of dollars they have made from the community, would be to issue a newsletter update and explain why people who ordered on Feb 2nd are being furloughed and people who ordered on Feb 18th are receiving units.

I met Yifu at Bitcoin 2013 and he seems like a nice guy, but it really feels like he couldn't care about his customers at this point... which is fine, he just needs to ship the units or give all the BTC back. Given the tremendous price increase since February, the 150+ btc on the line for some like myself represents a huge cash parachute that could be paying off the mortgage, etc.

Yifu if you read this just know I think you have done by and large superbly up to this point with Batch 1, but there are many like myself who would just really appreciate the common courtesy of having a simple newsletter update re the status of Batch 2. I think that's reasonable.

I thought that the last update from Avalon was at the end of April/begining of May.  Hopefully we'll receive another monthly update this week.

Would be nice, but only the MailChimp gods can know at this point...

What is taking Avalon so long? Have they said anything at all?

How many units from batch 2 have been shipped from batch 2? Like 30 out of 600, right? In a month? I know they were setting up a new SMT system but that should be all working now, right?

Do people have any idea when they are going to starting shipping more machines again?

[jspielberg]

I guess it is time to trot this out again...
From the Batch 3 terms of sales:

Limited Customer Support - The Avalon team is comprised of a small group of capable people; however, we are also extremely limited in manpower. Every one of us handles multitude of tasks, and for this reason we will have very limited customer support. No news is good news. We apologize for this, but we do not expect this situation to change.

That item doesn't seem to be batch specific 

Best course is to wait for the next update. 
I am sure it will be coming shortly.
In the meantime ... enjoy the good news!

No news is not good news when they are shipping the 55 BTC order machines prioritized after the WalletBit users who paid 75+. I am sorry but this is not okay, in any fashion of the word. If I had known this would've been happening I would've made a point to talk to Yifu more directly about the inequities in the shipping process... this is just simply not OK. Us Feb 2nd customers are being treated like lemmings.

15 million difficulty next.. damn. O;

We have an ASIC company that does not ship, one that barely ships, and one that ships but charges an exorbitant fee, and one that we don't really know about. I wish we have an ASIC company that actually ships on time, and does not charge an arm and a leg. Nope, it's too much to ask for. :/ I'm wary KNC might not deliver and be BFL 2.0.. Gah.
