[Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service

I guess this explain the prices.... simply they wont sell if we wont buy... they don't give a shit about what we think as long as they can mine and fill their pockets

This is very odd. So CryptX gets cheap supply from Burnin for his own project and the rest of the community gets higher prices? Does CryptX even care about this mess here? Probably not, he has its own project.

So sad that Burnin quit selling to the community.

Edit:

Ahh, now I think I understand why burnin chose to use these guys. I think I remember reading somewhere that he'd managed to get the job of designing the PETA-MINE hardware on the back of his excellent work in the BitburnerXX.

It seems almost like Burnin is now the exclusive supplier of cryptx

I wish burnin would sell stuff directly to his previous customers that gave him no headache with previous orders.

I just want to be sure everyone reads this and why cryptX does not even has interest in making reasonable prices.

Cross Post

We can surely do that.

We are very busy making all arrangements for the deployment of the first 20 TH/s.
 
The design of the board is finished, some tests with a full prototype are still left to do. This is a final check that has to be done before we order all the boards. We could already order the PCB’s now, but we want to make 100% sure there are no mistakes made there.

The Bitfury chips we have ordered are ready to be picked up this Friday! We will have them perfect on schedule.

In the meantime we are also setting up our datacenter, so everything is ready when the assembled boards arrive.

We will be back with more info shortly.

IOW, there's no incentive to sell products at a reasonable price, because cryptx will simply deploy those that do not sell to his mine. This is what ASICMiner and bitfury are doing as well and it virtually guarantees that products are sold at prices that will not return much(if any) profit to investors.

Burnin please say that you will also allow one Groupbuyer to also buy in bigger quantities from you. We as community dont want to deal with them in any way. And all what they want is to set up miners for there own farm. Yeah what ? Fuck them im really pissed at this stage.
The only chance to get DIY for a reasonable price died with some people who do not even want to distribute miners. awesome.

Word. I'd rather pay high prices to burnin than the greedy middle man... even moreso now.

Don't worry guys, things maybe looking brighter

Unfortunately I'm not in position to say. I can't say anymore so just sit back a while longer and grab some popcorn and stop hitting the F5 key...LOL

Sadly since the BitFury boards announcement i'm mashing the F5 button because of the lack of communication and the so many shady stuff like false advertising a board for 80Ghash when this was never real. I never did this when burnin was developing the BitBurner boards because everything was managed MUCH better.

I do not know how AMD FTW is related to this in any way but i am doing the same as you, i am refreshing every couple of minutes and waiting for some explanation from burnin, he logged in today but ignored everything  in all 3 threads, even more disappointing...

Have anyone tried pressing the refund button?

Press 'Validate Refund' to receive a 50% refund for this order.
Refunds will be processed mid October by Burnin. If you wish to convert this order to Bitfury boards, choose 'Request Discount' in the overview and receive a discount Coupon Code that you can use on Asic Hardware.

Burnin is a busy guy with everything that's going on. What I will say is don't assume they'll be only 1 distributor and also keep in mind that Burnin does appreciate all the small miners and knows to look out for their best interests.

Burnin will post eventually in here,so Now seriously stop hitting the F5 Key.

I logged into the CryptX site, and it had my previous unfulfilled orders on there.  I assumed they were the only distributor that will have that information.

If that's true then thank you burnin and thank you AMD FTW! You just saved my F5 Key!

Do you have some info on this or are you just guessing?

He is not just guessing.

You guys are mysterious. Now hit F5 and let the mystery unfold.

[Newar]

Burnin,

Have you received Batch 2 chips from Zefir?

Yesterday - late afternoon, production will resume on Monday.

Has anyone from that batch received their burners yet?

It's probably not a good time to be so mysterious though or whoever the other distributor(s) are will potentially lose a lot of orders. Not to mention how galling it would be to buy at a higher price & then have someone else offer better priced boards.

not to mention the pounding my F5 key will take because morning in Germany is still hours away

[mastahofdesastah]

 Noooo, still waitin that diff. Kills my profit...
Over 2 weeks, since the chips was shipped to burnin...

In the first page it says: Production capability ~1000 modules per week

So if this is true, and with a mean value of 15 chips per bitburner, there are 1,5 batches processed per week. Maybe you will get them soon. Maybe not if production capabilities stated before have changed.

[shapemaker]

Wait what the hell is this, as Cryptx stated we (burnin customers) would receive an email relating to ANY updates. Then they post this ?:

Bitburner Fury boards incl chips will start shipping the first week of October for orders placed before 17 September.

Well thats already gone, and i still can't login to my account so wtf is going on?

You didn't lose much though. The hardware is overpriced because of a greedy distributor adding 40% margins.
