Can the members that are going for the visit please.  Reply below? Thanks

It's me. I intend to write a report about my visit incl. some pictures.
Why do you ask? Do you want to pay half of my petrol bill?!

Seriously...

I mean no disrespect but you just showed up and now you'll be vouching for *potential* scammers. Do you see a problem here?

[costapete]

any members that have forum history able to go so there is more than one guest?

[one4many]

Seriously!
And who are you to judge?
Come and meet me on Friday, show some commitment, like I do.
Have you even ordered one unit? Probably not ...

dude, dick inside pants. not a race.

sell your car, sell your house, whore your wife to buy their miners, see if I care.

right now you're playing against the ones you want to invest in. new accounts are butt friends with scammers in pretty much every scam you can find in this forum. don't be surprised you're not taken seriously, especially after posting the kind of BS you just did.

Friday 31.05.2013 some buyers/forum members come to visit us in our office, I really hope someone make a review of this event in this thread or in the forum. 

Thats multiple.  Who are the other ones?
I know post count reputation sucks (hmm) but pick someone we (and you) know and thrust as reputable forum members.  Otherwise the visit will add no value to your companies reputation nor our opinion.

No disrespect intended to one2many btw

I am one of the several members here who will visit later, but not before they can show us a working prototype. I have a moderate post count and relatively fresh account (a bit more than 2 months ago) but I will be among others. Patience guys, the 1st batch is already soldout, again.

[Kouye]

Patience guys, the 1st batch is already soldout, again.

Yeah. No wonder those scams live on, as people still fall for it massively.
Almost makes me wanna open pre-order for my own designed 500GH/s unit, seems so easy.... But I care too much about my karma for that.

You have them!? oh, you don't? that's ok!  Where can I pre-order? ... LOL!

[peterepeat]

Hi,
Thanks for starting this.
If I have a 3 module Avalon will you be able to supply an additional module to take it from 63 to 85 GH? How much will it cost?
Cheers

this is something interesting we are already considering, I'm unable to tell you how much will it cost right now.
at the moment our priority is be ready with all the hardware for the incoming Avalon Chips, so we don't have so much time for elaborate this new product, but I'm quite sure we will give this possibility too

Hi,
has there been any progress with this option?
Thanks

No offense taken .. Unlike with some other users who made it real quick on my ignore list.
Anyhow, if the real buyers of that first batch have any questions they want me to ask them, please PM me.

UPDATE 27/05/2013: as requested from many users, we are showing the proof that we bought a batch of 10K ASIC chips from Avalon:

Is the message "bitcoin.ch" ?

Nope, there's a typo. You meant bitmine.ch.

Yes, that is your wallet.

Ok, I may have missed this but what is the difference between this and the Avalon chip group buy + open source board? Is this gonna ship earlier?

Thanks

[Kj1]

well its a clone of the avalon rigs, so its not a DIY rig.  In terms of ghs/chip and power consumption you get, theres no difference as it uses the same chips.

They'll receive their chips in two months (just placed their order) if everything goes well. They also need some time to make the actual clones and place the chips on the PCBs, test everything, etc.  So if all goes well, its mid-august.  It depends on avalon, their capabilities and problems they encouter - if the offer is valid at all. I do not know whether there is a group buy with an earlier delivery date?

An another note, did avolon actually already send out asic chips to people/group buys who ordered more then two months ago?  Is the two month delivery accurate?

They stated end of may, so they should be shipping shortly.

[cycloid]

I dont know if its just me but when I hear ASIC I have this nasty feeling go down my spine.

 I hope this preorder nightmare will stop soon.

[giorgiomassa]

OK guys, I'm in. I'll send money for my order tomorrow.

I don't expect much profit (if any) from this rig, but I'd like to support your enthusiasm. I'm HW/SW industry veteran and my instinct tells me that you are the right team. I expect some great things from you in the future (gen II ASIC miners...) 

Thank you RayG for your support!!!

Yes, still working on that, we'll finish to calculate the exact of this option price once we finish the first prototypes (see below).

any members that have forum history able to go so there is more than one guest?

Yep we are dealing with a couple of potential hero members that will come in next week to see the first prototypes, I will keep you updated.

Ok, I may have missed this but what is the difference between this and the Avalon chip group buy + open source board? Is this gonna ship earlier?

There's a huge difference here: this is a complete assembled system that has been manufactured with multimillion $ equipments (see the pics of the fab), tested and covered by warranty. DYI is nice for a very small nice of people that actually have SMD soldering skills but even there the reliability levels wouldn't be the same as a machine-made product. We expect to see (sadly!) lots of people burning or in some other ways damaging the ASICs they've group-bought, that's also the reason why very soon we will put an option to buy our clone at a discounted price if you send in your ASICs.

Some more updates about current progresses:

- Friday morning the first PCBs will leave the factory, I will go to pick them up so that we and our visitor can upload some pictures in the afternoon.

- Monday all the components for the sample batch will come in, I will then bring these along with the PCBs the same day to the factory so that they can set-up all the stencils, pick and place programs, etc. In that moment I will also take a picture of myself in the factory, since somebody here stated that I've taken the pictures from the Internet LOL  

- One single prototype will be hand assembled here in our labs, two will be machine assembled at the factory. Obviously, you'll see first the hand assembled one, but the factory told me they can give me the machine assembled ones within friday 7th June.

- Case's CAD design is finished and later I'll upload pictures of the final assembly, tomorrow they'll be sent to the factory for first sample batch production, they should land in during next week too.

- Considering that at the end of next week we'll have a lot more to show to visitors, we'll try to make the first visit appointments starting from Monday the 10th of June.
