how much do you think a single  K-16  4.5go in the 600 order numbers range would sell for when it arrive ?

search ebay for jalapeno in hand, not preorder.  those are about the same hashing power and currently are being bid on at crazy high prices

I have been looking at the dates TH has given us. the math doesn't make sense.

original: mid July to early Aug
    if TH orders the chips on the 10th of may 9 to 10 weeks (Avalon ship time - from Avalon) would be the 19th to 26th of July. 2 weeks after that would be  the 2nd to the 9th of Aug. how can it be mid July?

FAQ now: late July
    see what i just said

blog post made July 5: Aug 15
    this makes sense but Avalon is not shipping in 9 - 10 weeks it is more like 95 days (see old posts) so the estimated dates would be the first week of September.

am i missing something?


also @terrahash are you doing anything to get Avalon to ship on time?

Lets be fair, Terrahash has absolutely no control over Avalon shipping. That would be like saying to contact BFL to get them to ship on time.

That said, it would be much more reassuring if they found the time to answer tickets if that is their chosen method now vs. email. I didn't realize the number of people that have gone unanswered. We don't want them distracted, but I believe people here have volunteered to assist them, and that would allow them to weed out the redundant questions on shipping chips and such and leave them with the issues that need action on their part such as status changes.

Considering it's a ticket system, it should be easy to designate additional people to help review.

Right now pre-ordered K16s are going for $850-$1000. When you have the board in hand, it will most likely sell for $2500-$4000.

Are you sure that the 2" standoffs between boards are going to be long enough? Does anyone know the dimensions of a K16 board with the heatsink attached?

I've been reading through Steamboat's thread and the heatsink he is using looks like it's about an inch to an inch and a half thick. My plan is to use two 2" standoffs if necessary. If I can get away with using one, I will. These aluminum standoffs are very inexpensive. 100 of them only costs $10.

I've seen the Blade sell for a high price. It was going for $7000 for something like 10 -15 GHZ.
 
If you can get that type of money for them. Is it worth it to hang on to them and mine? Or is it just for fun?

I would still love to see some pics of the case from inside once all the wiring is in place. I hope they can pull it off. More power to them if they can!

For 4k i would be more than happy to sell it instead of mining with it lolll

I dont think the prices will be that high anymore, remember a million+ chips are going out just from avalon, and so many other ASIC's will be going out, if you get yours soon I think you could sell it for 1k-1500, but in a matter of 2 months price could plummet because of how many will be out there, along with difficulty that will likely skyrocket, a lot of people will be trying to sell at some point.

now if the first date given was even possible to happen they would have to have a contract with Avalon that would ship early. so my question is what was the contract and what are you doing to make sure Avalon keeps that contract?

Very true. In a couple of months the market will most likely be saturated. It's like the people who are trying to sell the 333 MH/s block erupter USBs. At first people were charging $500-$800 for them. Now they are only getting $150 at most. Even that is very overpriced.

In the end, it will all depend on what a BTC is worth,,,if it goes to 150 or higher ,,,,again? then all boards,,,even the little block eruptors will still be selling for a premium,,,,if it goes back to or over 200 a BTC look out! lol which some ex'spurts say it will.....

Any word on if chips have got to TH?  I'm ready for my units

nope

[crazyearner]

Any details of full units been produced or are only whats on site going to be available?

[Axion_Zen]

Not yet. We are all eagerly waiting. If Avalon already has all the chips, it shouldn't take long, unless they decide to sit on them for a while for whatever reason.

When do you expect to get the revised k16 board and start testing it?

[Bitoy]

Zeffir ordered 2 batches on April 18.  So far only 1 batch was delivered. Either avalon doesn't have enough chips or they are delaying shipment.

[Bitcoinorama]

I imagine they are delaying shipment to give B#2 and #3 a chance to ROI. Total guess though...
