So, when I get this board I will just plug power to it from my PSU, link it to my comp with a USB, and configure CGMiner, blow some air on it, and this thing will do the rest, right? CGminer will detect this board and know what to do with it just like it does my GPUs? Will there be any instructions with it?

Shouldn't they already have these chips? They were supposed to get them mid-late July. It is Late July.

Complain to Avalon they are too busy mining the hell out of BTC to ship chip orders early or even on time.

I know.

I wonder if terrahash has anymore inspiring news for us?  like a fresh video of a k16 hashing at 5600 g/hash (16 x 350 m/h as reported by BG from his visit)  that would be something nice to see and keep our spirits up    So how about it TH a fresh video maybe?  lol

[justmyname]

Im having terrahash host my device. I cant remember if they asked for a payout address or not. I know it doesnt say anything about payout addresses on the order details..

Will terrahash be asking for a payout address when they start shipping to their hosting location?

I'm sure that's the plan. They say they will send it to your address every 2- 3 days. I'm wondering if they have a Data Center yet? With low cost electricity to cover the $10 per month/ 64 board fee offered?

How long for Avalon and Klondike to send the hardware?

I'd settle for them answering the support tickets, but apparently there was nothing said on that front when bar visited.

Hey atomic,,,have you gotten a refund yet???. are you still in cancel mode? lol

with a difficulty increase of 18% every 2 weeks your ROI is around feb 2014 (70 + 20 % = 84 btc)

And you think the foundries can keep increasing ASIC chip production by 18% every 2 weeks do you?

Utter nonsense.

[krayzie32]

Have they receive the new revised PCB board yet ?

They have all the parts needed to produce the boards and are 100% ready for when the chips arrive.
Again, they were very confident in their ability to get the customers their finished product asap.

They have K64 boards?

Utter nonsense.

The foundries are not the issue.  They can produce orders of magnitude more chips than they have currently.  The problem is the immature supply chain for all these companies.  They have limited funds to produce chips, so they order a small/limited production run.  Then they have limited funds for PCBs, so they order a small number of boards, etc.

The fabs can produce millions of these ASIC chips per month easily.

Nah it will produce more than that way before that I estimate 10-11 weeks roi give or take....

plus, I dont know how many GPU farms are still mining BTC,,,but the bigs ones 50-60 g/h, a couple I know of, still are and they havent dropped out yet...so lots of room to absorb asics increasing difficulty,,,plus in theory BTC Value should rise overall....with difficulty, I hope we are seeing that begin now some?

Talk about them wasting electricity still mining BTCs... I already switched all mine (not much, lol) to LTC., it's at 2x profit vs. mining BTCs at this point.

Maybe good news, Avalon batch 3 have started shipping.  The chips could be next

Ya me to Zurg,,,actually hitting it hard with Feather Coin all week! so far so good....

I am trying to get every currency out there, lol.. never know which one peaks.
FTC is good to have right now also, nearly 3x

Hmm, anyone here on Skype? lol, we can start a TH channel, heheh so we can answer non stop, "is it here yet?"

Any word on anyone else receiving the chips after Zefir's batch one?

We are heavily invested into this, and it would be a shame if Avalon is causing unnecessary delays.

For an update: We have all the parts/components needed for assembly of up to 200,000 chips (12,500 K16s) either on stock, on the way to us, or on order due to be delivered within the next 2 weeks. We will be assembling 60,000 of our own chis, and have so far received orders for assembly of about 40,000 chips. We expect more people will send their chips our way, once they get them.

Thanks for the update.

I'm on zefir batch 2 so you will be receiving my chips if and when Avalon decided to release it :|
One question I have is zefir has stated that he will be grouping shipment to board manufacturers. i.e. He would be shipping a packages that contains chips for all terrahash orders in batch 2.
I think you have stated that to write the order number on the package itself. But I think that is not feasible if zefir is shipping them all in one package. Let me know what you think.

Also can you comment on whether fan for the heatsink will be needed for stock speed and for overclock to 350 mhz?

It's unfortunate that so many folks are at the mercy of Avalon at the moment and they don't even bother to give status updates.

I can't think of any other situation where a $80,000 order doesn't even give the buyer a way to contact the seller and get a timely response (having a helpdesk ticket website where the tickets are ignored doesn't count).
