WTF Avalon? Ship the Chips!

[bystander]

Avalon shipped lots of chips to China, and those one who got the chips are resell the chips at rediculours high price. as the seller claim, he had very close relationship with Ngzhang personally, so he can "handle" some chip and supply it. He also claimed that the chips can only be produced 8k a day as the testing equipment have some problem. What an absurd excuse!

Concur, it's completely absurd.  Wish that there was someone with contacts at TSMC to check up on this situation.  

Is it not out of their hands?! I thought a former disgruntled Avalon team member that wants to make his own next gen chip with the guy that calls Europeans lazy posted boxes of chips weeks back detailing volumes of chips in each box and the amount of boxes present equal to the chips on order, or am I way off the mark here?

Not sure if it's entirely out of their hands, but you are certainly right about the photos of chips. According to TGB, there were 24 boxes in the photo that arrived for a retailer.  Photos were taken on July 9.  TGB also reports that there's evidence from the tracking label that there might have been a total of 135 boxes shipped on June 25, 2013.

Thread that possibly discusses some Avalon team members  breaking off to work on a 40nm design

Supposed tracking number  for 135 boxes (credit to TGB for the link, wanted to look into the tracking number shown on the photos, but they already did it)
That's 2.1million chips!

Perhaps they have prioritized the shipping by sending the whales who demanded a "solid" and then lollygagging for a bit before resuming shipping to everyone else.
Hope Yifu is enjoying his vacation in Tahiti / Bora Bora.

I wonder how much of all of our profits are lost from these delays?  btw someone here on the forums certainly has Yifu's contact info and is able to contact the Avalon team, honestly the quietness is a bit scary imho.  I hope to god we get them yesterday and steamboat updates us and says our miners are on their way to us.  But that's wishful thinking, I will not be buying from Avalon again, asicminer ftw

Unfortunately your post above is the experience of many of us waiting. CHiPS the other ones.

Code:

"They're trying to kill me," Yossarian told him calmly.
"No one's trying to kill you," Clevinger cried.
"Then why are they shooting at me?" Yossarian asked.
"They're shooting at everyone," Clevinger answered. "They're trying to kill everyone."
"And what difference does that make?"

The turning radius of the wagon is about as fast as the Avalon Chip turn around to us waiting.

'rama you just made me laugh out loud. I'm deep into KnC for a Jupiter and I honestly figured my Avalon group buy chips were more of a sure thing than what those Swedes are cooking up. I'm more than a bit disenchanted with ASICs in general, at least I was able to sell my BFL preorder on eBay for a profit (knock on wood -- still waiting for the PayPal funds to clear). Hoping someone will come through -- what are your thoughts on FashHash?

Bitcoinara definitely wins 'Best Post of the Week' award, with this one!

Bravo!

Chips

[bitrebel]

Goofi Fucku     "fucked you".

Sorry guys. 

[bitrebel]

When will Avalon and Goofi Fucku mail the chips out?

When difficulty rises just enough that you will no longer profit.

I cannot believe people fall for this crap. 

[mruiter]

YiFuckyou is just another fraude who could not resist the money that was passing by and is taking more then he should.
The Avalon batch is lost. BFL are fuckers. Lets hope KNC will be better.

YiFuckou FUCKYOU . If there was something wrong, an mail explaning it and then dropping of the grid for a few weeks is better then just dropping of. (But i would enjoy if you dropped in front of a big incomming truck)

Tjaptjoy up you'res

if I recall correctly, that guy posted the pictures of finished Avalon IC in boxes, and said that he was leaving avalon team because of some unethical practices, and posted pictures of finished chips as proof. I didnt realize back then that he didnt post those pictures to prove that he is telling the truth (to be part of avalon team), but to prove Yifu's unethical practices.  

I guess he didnt agree with Yifu to hold the chips till the shipment of avalon B3 machines. now he is developing his own 55 nm chip.

not blaming him, cause avalon after this will loose customers.

The Genesis Block mentioned that the photos in the order may have been just part of a bigger order of chips in the range of 2.1 million chips which shipped on 6/25.  
Even with all of our group buys combined (Zefir/Steamboat/everyone else), that whale of an order probably got Yifu's attention and there may have been
some stipulations to give them time to put together their units before everyone else does.    Didn't realize the community had to order $14million worth of
chips to get some actual customer service and maybe a long overdue update.
