The first payment out of 1FGAftzSTztFSB8LMwsrdCKTyqGY6zr3sU didn't occur until yesterday. (8/5)
Since that's the address that collected payments for the chips, if there were 1 million chip orders, then how did they pay TSMC and other companies get paid?
Do you think someone extend Bitsyncom a line of credit?
Another explanation:
Someone, or some group bought 100 B1 avalons.
That same entity bought the bitcoin used for the chip orders, and gave bitsyncom the money to pay for the chips.
Now, maybe this entity did get the chips first and a second batch is being run to give out to other orders. However, as I said if there were really 2.1 million chips then there would have to be at least 700
terahash on the network, and there's only about 380Th/s on the network. So either those chips don't exist, or they're not online.
I'm guessing whoever actually owns those addresses is getting priority access to chips though, ahead of other Avalon customers.
They won't necessarily, but that' Avalons standard clock speed. Some will OC, some won't. Some will OCoverdose, some will be DOA.
Some err...go missing.
Pretty much everyone's been able to get them to run at 350, and 300 is actually the default speed.
