Thanks for the update steamboat.

[driksson]

Thanks for the update. While your at it. Try and get some compensation from Avalon for these huge delays. That only they are to blame, none of us..

[Rakessh]

Thank you for the update Steamboat, may the chips be right around the corner

[roybitcoin]

Thank you very much!!

I've found that if I take a break from checking the forums for my 2 orders, that it gets put to the back of my mind and I'm not as agitated on a daily basis.  However, I only have $600 wrapped up in all this vs. thousands of dollars others have.

at the moment of writing, another 130k chips have gone out, and will proceed to ship more as we get them. ( and no, they are not samples.)

any chance these could be ours? ;-)

Maybe a batch or 2........or 3      Y I FU's tracking shows up after delivery...........unfortunately  

Best of luck Steamboat!!!!!!!!!!!!

zefir has 6 batches in and SebJ has 2 batches in before us -- probably a couple other group buys/private buys before us too.  I doubt we get chips this go around.

Sounds like some of the group buys are finally shipping out.  If they spanned out equally between Zefir (who already recv Batch #1 in July), Steamboat, Sebastian, EU groups, RaginA, it should cover up to Batch #2 for just about everyone.  But most likely not.

From watching the batch 1, 2 and 3 rig orders, Avalon seems to ship in no particular order and doesn't ship exactly in order of purchase dates. Apparently that would require some level of organization...

[razorfishsl]

That's the thing with Tax avoidance & illegal shipping in China, eventually everyone wants a cut.

It's only 13 batches, right?  I think we're way behind that based on our order numbers.

Batch 1: Order #10177, Purchase date May 1,2013. Expected delivery date early July
Batch 2: Order #10265, Purchase date May 11,2013. Expected delivery date mid July
Batch 3: Order #10325, Purchase date May 22,2013. Expected delivery date mid/late July.
Batch 4: Order #10425, Purchase date May 28,2013. Expected delivery date late July, early August.
Batch 5: Order #10553, Purchase date June 5. Expected delivery date early/mid August.
Batch 6: Order #11253, Purchase date July 6. Expected delivery date mid September.

So you think our Batch 1 is Order number 177 of 10,000 chips??

OR is the last number used as an indicator of some sort for internal use???
first batch, 7
Next three, 5
Next two, 3

In this scenario, our Batch 1 could be order number 17.

[Bicknellski]

How much trouble does it take to send information about the shipping of batches?
I echo your post. No information and out of the blue chips arrived 3 weeks late.

I wish you the best Sebju... hope that Avalon delivers but wouldn't be easier if they just did business the right way and gave you a shipping date? (rhetorical)

They don't mean anything, you can generate an order number without purchasing the chips.

Steamboat what is your plan of action if Avalon ships out randomly?

For instance, what if batch 3's order arrives before that of batch 1? Will you servivce batch 1 first nonetheless, or will you respect the order numbers and ship out the orders relevant to the batches that paid for that particular order?

Just asking this as it may be useful to have this determined beforehand, in order to avoid shenanigens if this situation does occur. Due to the proven lack of organization at Avalon, I'd consider this a viable scenario.

Personally I'd vouch for delivering the orders specific to the batch that paid for the particular order.

My guess:  Whatever order shows up first, will be used for batch 1.

Edit:  I cant think of any reasons that would make any other action make sense.

[ScaryHash]

I think we should use the time extra time that we now have productively.

Maybe a fully functioning K16 could be assembled (with sample chips), by either Steamboat, or BkkCoins (or somebody else), and be used to make sure CG miner works with it just fine.

Maybe explore some overclocking options on it, do some benchmarks, that sort of thing, and post them, so that people know what to expect.

Hopefully, that will get everything running smoothly once the chips DO get here.

Get rid of all the negativity...man...it's like walking into a total bitchfest on these forums lately.

Well, the simple reason that if batch 3 shows up first, all people in batch 3 are the collective owners of that particular batch, including all risks and benefits that came with that specific batch. They will not like it if batch 1 then is awarded their chips.

What if, for instance, batch 1's order is impounded by the customs? Just a random scenario, but consider it. If batch 1's order is impounded, this should be accounted to the risk of the batch 1 owners. Otherwise owners of the later batches always have a very unfair disadvantage over early batches, having the highest risk of very very long delays or not receiving anything at all, while it could well be that their specific order was delivered with no problems.

Therefore I think steamboat needs to be very precise and transparent on the order numbers of the batches that arrive, and award them to their respective batches no matter which one comes in first (if it comes in at all). And therefore I think steamboat needs to make this clear before the chips start arriving, so there will be no ambiguity. I'd even vouch for posting pics of the order no's of the batches as they come in, so everybody can see for themselves which chips did or did not arrive - even though I trust steamboat in such matters, there can never be too much information posted about >50K USD orders of materials.

I agree with this -- presuming the chips include a packing slip with an order number then they should be matched up with their exact batch as ordered. It wouldn't make sense for the last batch or two to take all of the risk of possible shipping delays for earlier batches.
