From the news letter Due to overwhelming demand, we are going to gauge interest on a smaller 2 module version of the Avalon unit that's effectively half of a Avalon original in size, and greater than 45Gh/s in performance. As per usual the price of the unit is determined by the following equation. mining_difficulty * ( 1 + number_of_month_in_lead_time) over a 30 day period on the unit's hashing power. to those interested, here is the form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rJJniFiYn0XMPZVKVni86xBvSTylWw0fv1c1zAfuR68/viewformDiscuss... Editing the title to be a Proposal rather than an announcement. |

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Definitely interested. It makes sense since the original Avalon with 3 modules seemed to have a lot of empty space.

Half size @ half price of 36-50BTC is fine, no need for second mortgage  |

I'm very interested, however, I don't follow their price equation. Can anyone else make sense of that?  |

I think they take the current difficulty, multiply it by 2, and see how many BTC a standard Avalon would generate per day at that doubled diff. They multiply that number of bitcoins with the 30 days of the month. That's the final price of the unit. They basically give you a ROI of 30 days at a difficulty that's double the one you bought the unit at.
If I'm wrong feel free to correct me.

Half size @ half price of 36-50BTC is fine, no need for second mortgage agreed. I want to see ASIC devices start a mass-rollout though, as $4000 for 45GH is a tremendous deal for early buyers, but probably carries over a 50% profit margin for avalon. Would rather see mass-produced 1-3GH/s devices for $300-500 a peice. It would end up with many more small investors and aid the distrobution of the BTC network far better then selling more hashing powerhouses that key players or big investors can only afford |

That makes total sense. Thanks for breaking that down. |

The title is a bit misleading, it's not announced, they are conducting a market research survey to decide if it might be a viable product that's all.

Thanks erk... updated the title to reflect that they haven't announced but are conducting market research into if it would be successful.
My opinion would be that there is so much demand for a shipping ASIC miner (especially a proven asic miner), that people will buy BTC just to get it. Heck... it could be the first high profile non-SR related product that is purchasable only via BTC.

I would like to see a single module unit at around 22GHs that you could expand at a later date as you recouped your initial investment.

I can swing a 2 module Avalon, 3 module was just a bit too much for my BTC stash.

i'd rather just have a full sized avalon but it would be nice if 2 of the minis stacked well on the full sized units. i've heard they stack well.

I prefer they can provide DIY buying. As Avalon is module design, they can allow miner to buy single module to upgrade their machine in hands or buy a machine with only 1 module to lower the initial investment.

Ya, this will be a good option for those who want to DIY upgrades your machines |

I know I will be ordering more hardware if they're shipping late may/april.
A 2 module version might be more in my budget, so I hope they make it!

to shred some light, the model is already made, as we have many prototypes and designs in house, it was a matter of if there's enough demand to warrant a batch.
If not, it'll just get made in a later timeline, for next generation for example.

Bro, don't do next batch production. Do them NOW .. so that everyone has a choice to choose which item they want? everyone has different budget, and moreover is good time to extend your market segment and maximize your coverage. tks |
