If terrahash can ride this out, I hope they would offer another closed order opportunity to the initial group in here, regardless of whether or not they cancelled, refunded or whatever that folks felt they had to do. But "only" once they have more than enough chips in hand. Which in the beginning that was going to be their policy, no preorders and go on sale only when they had a product ready to ship. Im not sure where when and why they decided to deviate from that business plan, but would have been wise to have stuck to it. Of course, hind sight is always 20/20. We all have made decisions that turned out not to be the best. When I first started hunting for an asic miner, I had no clue nor had I ever heard of yifu and his associates. I only trusted that when I chose Terrahash, that they had all their ducks in a row, as all of us did and had confidence when ordering. I do wish the best for them (TH) and want them to know I will still be a future customer as I am sure many in here would definitely be also, once they can get the ball rolling. And who knows, the chips may come this week! lets hope so.

Glad to hear it!  Looking forward to receiving my K-64s and hearing about some new non-Avalon based product offerings...

It might be rewarding to stick through this and get the Bitfury chips on our products. That would result in a better hash rate correct?

As far as we know, there is no offer from Avalon for trade-in or refund for chips. Those are only for batch 3 machines. Anyways, some of the customers who wanted to do assembly with us with their chip orders, have informed us that their chips are on the way from Avalon. So, ours shouldn't be that far behind.

In addition to Bitfury we are talking with another very promising Bitcoin ASIC manufacturer. We will update once we have a deal.

I believe I know who that manufacturer is, I'll be more interested when they offer chips and at what price.

That being said, will you be able to take pictures/video of those customers assembled units once they are done?

My units are hosted with you and I'd very much like to see what a DX-Mini/Large/K64 looks like Assembled.

I'll be picking up my boards in person at TH when they are ready. I can take some extra pics when I'm there.

I wonder where those chips comes from because I don't think all the major chips group buy here has any shipments news so far after zefir batch 1

So everyone above Zefir (the person that ordered 200k chips) already received their chips?  Does anyone know who the hell ordered 2 million in chips?

I was trying to cross check the Google doc and TH's orders, but 10th or 16th is not even on that list. Any thoughts?

They could always purchase some of those orders..... since they announced they never bought some of the chips they said they did at first....

Whats that we will hear from TH chances are about chips ..... nothing..... then one day they will open up pre-orders again!

[chanberg]

Sigh... i hate to be that guy, but man do I want a refund haha

Seriously at this rate, we will get it in 2 months

The information about trade-in/refund is contained withing the paragraph regarding chip shipment so it should apply. If not it is miss-leading.
Those chips are very, very late while the whole point was acquiring them early.
Everybody knew that those chips' design is inferior to others and _only_ fast delivery made them attractive to invest into.
Now this advantage is gone so I see that the right course of action is insisting on refund from Avalon /or accepting trade-in for next gen.

I know that this might not be aligned with Your benefit, but I really hope you are making efforts to request refund and/or trade in.
The trade-in seems to be best solution since 65nm chips should fit into same/similar boards.

Good example was given by AsicMiner's CEO. When the difficulty risen and price paid for sticks felt too high, he pushed promotional sticks to the market.
Same goes to KNC who, yet has to deliver, but already pledged refunds should the October delivery dates are not met.

Thanks.

Not for the DIY community that purchased chips, not for Terrahash, or AlphaHPC, or LSD, or BitCentury, or BKKCoins, or Burnin, or any of the others..  Yifu screwed us all bigtime.

While I didn't touch avalon chips, i feel for those going through this mess.   really sucks.

Most of us haven't "Touched Avalon chips" they haven't arrived yet!! LOL..
