Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Thanks for the update SB, and for doing what you can to make the production as fast as possible once the chips land at your door.

That kind of update in an uncertain environment makes all the difference IMHO. Thanks steamboat for staying classy. It's very much appreciated.

I dont get how steamboat's legitimacy was even in question, he is obviously not going to run with our money considering he ordered massive amounts of parts in order to facilitate a quick turnaround
This is just crazy on Avalon's part, I dont get how yifu doesnt come to give us an update or let at least the group buy leaders know whats going on, someone should hire a couple private investigators and hunt this kid down seriously

I don't think Steamboat's legitimacy has ever been in question. I personally have never felt that way. But sometimes people just need to hear/see someone say what they already know. I REALLY appreciate the update, SB. Thank you sir.  Avalon - ship those chips! All together now: "ship those chips, ship those chips"... hahaha |

Personally, I no longer expect to make roi. I hope I'm wrong, but at this rate... This was a risky proposition from the start so hopefully nobody invested more than they can afford to lose. |

Very nice!! Can you post the height of each of those? 1 unit with fan on top, and 4 units with no fans? Trying to work out spacing. |

The Fusion single is just a hair under 4". 4 Fusions stacked on top of each other measure 8.5" from the bottom to the top of the standoffs.

How is the stack going to look with fans? Is there going to be hardware for that, or are we building our own? Thanks for the update, Steamboat! -Jay |

+1 awesome update
Glad I bought some chips from here, I'll likely get the boards made in the same place for the sake of convenience. Thanks!

Thanks Steamboat for the update. It makes a huge difference. Maybe on page 1 would be best so some of us don't have to go searching everywhere for an update.
Personally I am too busy to see what is going on with Avalon chips shipping status, so I didn't even know you haven't received them yet.
Thanks again!

Personally, I no longer expect to make roi. I hope I'm wrong, but at this rate... This was a risky proposition from the start so hopefully nobody invested more than they can afford to lose. Yeah, almost certainly the ROI is gone at this point. Especially for the later buys. I believe future bitcoin profits from mining will only come to the big boys with deeps pockets. Clearly there isn't a spot for the little guy just wanting to buy a few miners. He will never get the latest hardware fast enough or cheap enough to make any money. Future profits will come to the reputable manufacturers (yes, they will eventually move into this space), and those that invest the big dollars in them. |

Apologize for duplicate post, but personal circumstances have made it necessary for me to sell my 2 Batch #3 miners and 1 Batch #4 miner if I can get a reasonable price for them. Would like to keep them all part of one transaction so I can transfer control of my Liquid Synergy account to a prospective seller. I can go as low as 8 BTC if you can cover the escrow. Additional details can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=268935.msg2876547#msg2876547If you have any faith in ol' Yifu, shoot me a PM. |
