Yeah a notification via newsletter in advance to give us time to deal with fiat conversion or to raise funds..
Last time me and two friends went thru hell to come up with the cash and we got butchered and robbed of our opportunity!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159340We already know there will be a new batch for order, as they gauged interest.
You can expect the price in BTC will be lower than last time, based on their formula that takes in account (rising) difficulty and the expected payback time.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155345.msg1670882#msg1670882So BTC 45 - 50 tops
We know Avalon only takes payment in BTC
We know they want to promote people to use new BTC related services and tools like Bitinstant and other ways of buying and earning BTC (try for example Localbitcoins next time)
So logically you should already start to save up and gather BTC, and prepare. That way you'll not get caught in the last minute with your funds stuck in some foreign bank transfer and loose valuable time.
Well, I think we all know that batch #4 will arrive in late June, early July if everything goes well... That's 2 months from now, so you should multiply difficulty x3 (27 million aprox.). That would mean 25
BTC in 30 days for a 45GHs. I really don't know how some of you guys say that you will be happily 50
BTC or even 80
BTC as I read earlier when BFL started shipping and chips are sold by the hundreds of thousands
That said, at 25
BTC per 45GHs unit I would gladly buy +5 units. More than 25/30
BTC per 45GHs, frankly speaking is too high IMHO. Difficulty will skyrocket very soon, just imagine when all those chips hit the network + ASICMINER + BFL, etc.
