BitSyncom. Can you provide an update on batch #2?

[Vicus]

Please deliver my miner.
A thousand thanks!

I'm sorry to interrupt you. But as comrade server said, I must stay as most crying customer. Therefore stop crying until you not beat my record. Especially I have reasons to cry, I'm not received my batch #1 unit, but that is not Avalon Team problem anymore

Why isnt that avalon problem anymore? Did someone steal your unit?

Although we agreed the "The no bullshit, no fine print terms of sale" before we ordered, we did not agree to delay the shipment again and again. Now we just want a simple official reply on whether you can ship within April or not.

what they will do if they wish to "ship in april" is to send out a tiny handful of units to a couple of people.
that counts for shipping in april. this gets everyone excited but in reality the majority will be shipped weeks later
if things go well.

You mean...pull a BFL? Are you Joshin'?

Yifu,

Considering that its the 28th April and there's a public holiday on the way, can we please have an update?

Cheers

We need to wake up, when did batch 1 started shipping, February? Now people still didnt receive their units. So, relax, you'll get them anyway somewhere between June and late July.

These guys are just angry that they didn't join the "Avalon Prime" membership when they had the chance.  Free 2 day shipping for only $75 a year.   Seriously, all the whiners out there.  Avalon is not Amazon.  It is not Best Buy.  You took a risk, and you'll get your ASIC when it arrives.  STFU already.

Yes, right, corrected.

Not sure if you are agreeing with me...but yea, your right!

[Vagnavs]

I don't think Avalon getting us a general timeframe is too much to ask..

WHY no quick reply from team Avalon...?   everyone is curious?

[Tehfiend]

I am surprised we still have not heard of a single tracking number in the wild when it's been 2 weeks since they claim shipping started. I have a feeling that they just made that shipping announcement to keep the pitchforks at bay since they are now almost 2 months behind on batch 2.

I'm also curious why none of the coins they've received for bulk chip orders have been touched yet. I guess it's possible that they used the funds from batch 2/3 pre-orders to place the chip orders with the foundry but as of now, almost 6 million USD in BTC is just sitting there untouched since they took the first chip order 2 weeks ago. Hopefully they've already paid for the chip orders so there's no risk of a market crash screwing everything up. I will be VERY surprised if they manage to keep true their their advertised 9-10 week lead time. No sign of the "ASIC fog" lifting any time soon

Yeah, it's a bit unnerving, but what I (and I suspect others) have done is kept reasonable amounts in both cash and coin, in the event they sell and crash the price, I have fiat available so that I can purchase the coin and cover the cost of a trade-in. In the event they continue to sit on that cache, I will also have enough coin.

I would recommend that anyone that is just sitting on coin-only while waiting for trade-in notifications from BitSyncom also consider selling some coin in order to have cash on hand in case they do decide to unload all 46k BTC on the market all at once.

[nanobit]

Just wondering, has anyone tried calling them? The phone number is in the email they sent few weeks back. Surely we have quite a few Chinese friends here reading the forums and waiting for their ASICs. Perhaps someone could try calling them and ask for a status update?

A 50k btc dump would merely bring us to 120... Nothing too scaring.
What's scaring is the lack of updates. They updated us during the "black period" of batch 1...

A 50k BTC dump would break past the $120 wall actually, would bring us down to $105-110-ish. Probably also induce a panic sell from spectators that have no clue what's going on.

Sorry, you are correct. On both reasons. The last panic selling didn't had any follow, tough...

[tempestb]

Looking at the Batch 1 thread, it appears at least one person received their overdue unit which was shipped on April 7th.  If I read that correct, it sounds as though they are shipping some units then.

I don't think they would dump 50k on the market, you want to avoid slippage, the scarce depth of the market is obvious, and unless you panic or wish to induce a dip (to buy back later) there is no sense in dumping

He's saying they have to sell BTC to pay TSMC (the foundry) for the chips. Its not if they would its when they would. Unless they have a huge stash of RMB to pay them, or TSMC starts taking BTC.
