Terrahash, we really need an update now, especially for assembly order which has chips already shipped (me)

- Where should chips be shipped to?
- Are you still sticking to two weeks turnaround time from the time when you received chips? Would your board design and assembly line be ready?

Assuming two weeks for chips in transit, that means I should be mining in FOUR weeks? (finger crossed

Don't expect update.

My current speculation on when Avalon chips will arrive for folks:

From TerraHash's website on the assembly-only product order page:
"After placing the order, please send the relevant amount of chips to us. Instructions for sending chips will be available after your place the order."

However, no "instructions for sending chips" have been made available. We are still waiting for them and, now that it seems chips are shipping, anyone with assembly-only orders is understandably curious. I think an update with instructions for sending chips should be made available, as they stated.

No Terrahash we really don't need to hear from you, because your website clearly states:

Terms and Conditions: Shipping dates depend upon when we receive the chips from you. Once we have your chips, we will ship your order within 2 weeks.

Also your website has your shipping address where to ship chips so that is covered also.

Then they are not likely ready for your chips since they just ordered Boards that would make perfect sense.

Then they are probably not going to hit the two weeks turnaround time.
That's why we need confirmation from Zefir.
From knight's second visit pics, it seems like the prototype boards that they have is the same as the first visit. How does that reflect to the real timeline nobody knows.

You will have to pay the final balance in full before we can start processing your order. Instructions for sending the chips are available on the orders page (login into your account, and click on "View Orders", or click on any order.)

Hi Terrahash, you seems to be emphasizing assembly-order for the last couple of post. Does that have any implications for already existing asembly-order? I guess those will be first in line? (me
And at this point are you still planning 2 weeks turnaround time from the time you received chips (which will be very soon)? Thanks.

Hmm is everything still on schedule?

What is your understanding of what the "Schedule" is?

[Bitcoin Scammer]

Matched deadlines of incoming part shipments at this point.

Expect TH to get their chips on August 12 (+/- a day)

If your order is in batch 1, hopefully they will ship your items 2 weeks from that date

Hi Joe,

Interesting.  How accurate would you label your chip delivery estimates?

With an August 12th delivery, and stated 2 week delivery turnaround, it would appear we would miss our original deadline of August 15th by about 2 weeks.  Wonder if we'll hear an update regarding revised delivery estimates soon.

My estimates are ONLY based on two orders placed and two orders received that both took an average of 93.5 days to ship/arrive.

I could be 100% wrong on every order after that.

I will keep refining as others get theirs.

Do NOT cancel orders based on my estimates

Whats all this batch 1 stuff? TH said they had enough chips coming in to fill all pre orders within the estimated ship time of mid august....regardless of que number....

[pixl8tr]

According to posts in this thread, the Chips were purchased in separate orders ( batches).  You can assume that they won't all arrive in the same day.   So some orders will not be able to be filled from the first batch ad have to be filled from the subsequent ones.   I wouldn't worry about it too much until the expected ship date passes.

Maybe I dreamnt it,,,lol, but somewhere I read that TH had purchased an additional 20k chips locally (CA) and had paid a premium for them as a means to be able to ship all pre orders as promised...help me out here I know i read that 

[massnerder]

Kind of.  If chips don't arrive on/before or at least real close to the first, TH's ship date goes out the window per the 2 week assembly time.  If joe's estimates are right (let's hope not ) that will put some folks into September or October before getting their orders.

I believe the additional 20k chips purchased were in the form of purchased orders, not actual chips in hand, meaning they will be waiting for those orders to be delivered in addition to the orders they had previously placed.  I am not 100% but that is how I read it.

Whoa what's all this batch stuff??

Seriously?  Have you been reading this thread? Seen the list of orders and the breakdown of devices to chip orders??

Realize that all the chips were not ordered on the same day? So they won't show up the same day?!?

If you were one of the first orders your chips will likely be in on August 12th (estimated)
If you were some of the last orders chips won't be in until around Sept 22nd (estimated)

(see estimates here:)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260557.0


So basically there are three chip orders which will have subsequent device batches.
So if you were a late order you will likely get your device over a month later.

By the way, these are ALL my opinions and they do not reflect what reality TH wishes to instill and the chips may all arrive earlier and I may be talking out my ass.
