It's almost as if they've hired someone to write up the most meaningless "updates" possible. Or maybe it just comes naturally...
I wonder if Yifuk has considered a career in politics?

From http://www.avalon-asics.comstory so far - 8/19chips have arrived via other routes as previously announced, we are shipping them out at the rate of 40-50k on a daily basis at the moment, in addition to the ~150k or so that went out, another 40k was shipped today. There is multiple channel which the chips are arriving from various packaging facility to minimize downtime. Please bare this in mind: while we had backup/multiple packaging companies and various delivery routes, things still will go wrong. There is also testing that must be done, then they can split, packed and sent to the EZP coupled with their CN-22 and be on their way. We will provide more update as they come. In addition, the trade-in and refunds are being processed.If this is true, many folks on this forum should start receiving chips in the next week or two. Is he saying there needs to be "testing" done on the chips??... Bunch of lies as always. "testing" lol he is trying to lie that they will take each chip out of the tray and 'test' it and then put it back into tray and ship to us. What is this I don't even... How hard to understand for ppl do not have a clue about technology. I try translate it for you: Various companies take wafer from TSMC cut, packing (assembly silicon structure in the QFN48 package) and testing. I have an understanding of some aspects of technology... and understand that 'technology' is a pretty large term which encompasses many different types of 'technology'. I assume you are saying people here do not understand the chip manufacturing process? Explain why you do? It seems like TSMC's states this on their website: We will strive to provide excellent semiconductor manufacturing services for worldwide customers and establish mutually beneficial, long-term partnership.
We will spread dedication to quality to every facet of the company and achieve a culture of continuous improvement to assure customer satisfaction. There is only one ultimate goal: Zero defect - in everything we do.
We will adopt expedient containment programs to shield our customers from any defects until each has been eliminated. We all share the responsibilities to achieve this goal.
Sounds like the words of a company that tests their stuff before sending out... but I obviously was not involved in Avalon's ordering process, what they paid for, how TSMC handled their order, etc... just curious where your expertise comes in and what exactly needs to be tested with these chips after leaving TSMC? Wouldn't TSMC at least do some type of wafer acceptance test?

Why you are defending Avalon's lies? I can tell you the last part of the "update" about the trade-ins is a complete lie. There are number of hero members on this forum who can attest to it. How am I defending Avalon? That quote is from TSMC's website... TSMC sounds like a company that tests their stuff before sending out to Avalon, so I am not sure what additional testing is necessary for Avalon to be doing... Gandalf seemed to think otherwise, and I was just curious as to what types of testing he believes the chips need to go through AFTER arriving at Avalon? (because it makes no sense to me) Even if testing *should* be done, I am not sure it is really that necessary considering most group buy members ended up purchasing a couple extra chips, and I highly doubt there is going to be any high percentage of defects coming from TSMC - it seems like this is just a comment/excuse by Avalon to keep us going a little longer...

So we are entering the a new era where BitSyncom won't post updates on the forum and only on his website. Avalon team is slowly morphing into BFL style of doing business. So sad. Yifu reads this stuff on bitcointalk. I will be happy if my trade-ins get processed and added to my store account and then shipped asap once I pay for them. If that happens I will leave positive feedback and consider all issues resolved in a civil and neutral manner.

Yes that is correct, but the first 2 orders they showed a copy supposedly of a purchase invoice with their name on it...as far as the other 2 purchases, they were to come from other group buys,,etc,,,so thats a bit of a mystery to me know?? hmm?

that sheet is not 100% accurate as some chip buys are at different addresses etc., if you go by order#10245 terrahash's first order fits right ahead of the other may 11. orders

We when taped out the chips to TSMC we had a "projected out date" of Jan 3, 2013 which is on schedule with our late dec. / early jan. demonstration dates. Now however after this week's website update our "projected out date" has changed to Jan 7th, 2013 and "committed date" has been revealed to be Jan 10th, 2013. TSMC did not give us a reason for this, but as a small customer you are really at the mercy of bigger customers running higher priority lots. e.g. "super hot lot" The "committed date" is the promised date of delivery, it is very unusual for TSMC to break their "committed date", so we expect our chips to ship on or before Jan 10th, 2013.
Another potential problem is Customs clearing, the packaging company Fujitsu is located in Shanghai's Export Processing Zone (EPZ), while the packaging itself will not see delays, it may take an additional 2-3 days to clear Customs. To make up for this, if it occurs, we will be flying down to Shanghai to the demonstration in the EPZ instead of waiting for the shipping to the factory for assembly.

My apologies. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I assumed you were defending Avalon saying that they do have a need to test once they receive from TSMC... but you seem to be stating that the Avalon news release is indicating that 'testing' needs to be done by one of the third party companies you have mentioned and NOT done by themselves? Sorry for the confusion.
