Avalon's New Factory! ;D

[SebastianJu]

But having your own foundry isnt much less problem. You need to have qualified workers. They need to get paid even when you dont have work for them. Otherwise you will lose them. So having a own foundry doesnt have so much advantages against using a contractor i believe.

Regarding the newsletter. Does Yifu state that the work on tickets is stopping or that the tickets will be solved soon? I still have 2 open and need it solved because and is about chip orders.

@BitSyncom, when can we order Avalon modules to upgrade our miners?

soon as batch #2 finish shipping, modules should go out about the same time as batch #3,

also trade-in emails are being sent also, just getting the shop ready to handle it.

batch#3 will go just after #2 finish? Or it will be delay ?

no delay.

And chips will start shipping only after batch #3 is done? Thx.

So nearly building a foundry for creating a couple miners? Im sure the machines have a high price and i really wonder if it wouldnt be way cheaper to find contractors that do the work instead doing all alone.
But maybe avalon has other plans. Strangely they claimed that they dont want to create miners anymore. Doesnt make sense when they pay for a foundry then.

Maybe they'll continue to make them, but keep them to compete with ASICminer?

Would be a plan... i think Yifu did see that AM's Business plan has its advantages.

I think that is same equipment like on picture on this interview writing 2 months ago.

mmmm, pick n place porn.

I would love to see someone actually have STOCK of ASICs on hand before taking payment, that is what usually happens in the real world, release the krakken

[Dalkore]

Looking good Yifu!

Clearly you're not from the real world, because in it ASIC development has significant non-reoccurring engineering costs of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars dependant on tech. Kinda gets in the way of hoarding stock dude.

Pre-orders have been a necessity, but are open to abusing the naive...

Is BFL taking notes?

no delay.

 No batch 4 ? Because dude, I would love to throw some money at you.

IF we do make/sell batch #4, we will get it ready to ship before taking orders, as said at the conference.

Whats your output currently looking like?

Can you also tell us how high Mhz cap is set to in future Avalon Chips? You mentioned it previously but have not said anything as of late.

Also, do you plan to compete with Avalon Clones?

What are your thoughts on the remaining future profitability for the Avalon mining hardware?

[adi]

Can I have Batch 4 plz

[SebastianJu]

@BitSyncom... can you please say a word about support? Do you do the support on your own only or are there employees for it? I only wondered because it looks like the support slowed down again. I hope at least that my tickets get solved in the next days...

So I want to update this thread, there will be a batch#4 Avalon.   SMT machines and I already see batch#4 on at least one of the Avalon websites.  I am not going to release my evidence yet but it really looks like batch 4 will be a reality.   For those interested in a batch#4 group buy, please PM me.  I can also do hosting.

no such thing.

Makes no sense to invest in all that machinery and let it go dormant for too long after batch 3 is produced.. surely they'll do something with their capacity.  I'd guess it will come shortly after chips are fulfilled and batch 3 is shipped.

Care to bet  me BTC or 3  more Avalons on top of the ones I am due?  I have supporting evidence there will be a batch #4 avalon from domains you guys own / use.

[CoinHoarder]

Everyone (or some people) ITT are forgetting that Avalon wants to develop a new chip on a smaller process node.

Certainly they can use all this fancy equipment for Avalon v2 production and assembly.

Yifu or someone explain what you/he meant? "IF[/b] we do make/sell batch #4, we will get it ready to ship before taking orders, as said at the conference." ?

You mean to say you will produced a certain quantity of batch 4 before hand and if anyone want them they can paid for them and next week/day will received the miner, so it means you are not taking pre order or advance booking?

If that is the case it is good.
