Dear Avalon, now that chips shipped & batch 3 is well into shipping... modules?

[jermwerty]

So Avalon, when do we get module upgrades for the batches?  I remember the last newsletter saying they would announce "upgrade modules for sale" around this time.... Lots of us 3-module guys would like to go 1 more ASAP.

Thanks!

Do hoh hoh hoh.

Check yo' facts.

Well anyone who has been around knows this these have started, and is on pace for what I think most should consider an average "asic timeline" (ie not one blissfully hoped for by the manufacturer)...

People first complained B2 was late, avalon should die.  Then it arrived.  Then B3 was late, then B3 shipped but only PSUs, and no 4 modules, then only 4 modules, now finally no PSU 3 Modules.  Now everything is shipping!

Avalon clones are appearing in the wild.  Initial chip batches have started shipping (again if you are complaining about that timeline you haven't been paying attention, of course they will be somewhat late!).

Avalon eventually delivers.  I just want them to deliver upgrade modules.  Maybe all those complaining about B3 delays could be offered a reduced price module upgrade?  Maybe the next-gen Avalon ASIC will have a trade-in program?

I think Avalon while being overly optimistic still has the best track record by far.

Wrong asicminer has the best track record delivery wise.

Oh Gosh, jermwerty you look like 10yo boy speaking with himself, there is only BitSyncom, all your childish wishes point to Avalon support. I thing You would love wait for a module till December

now that chips shipped ...

Joke of the month.

Just for your info: Avalon batch #1 + #2 + #3 + your modules = tiny fraction of Avalon orders compared to unshipped chips.

For anyone looking to buy a batch 3 upgrade module, I'm selling four right now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269845.0

It was stated Upgrade Modules would be "in hand" and ship immediately upon ordering, once B3 was shipping in force.  That would be now...  Also note that this is the first time I believe Avalon has planned to sell something ready-to-ship day one.

Joke of the month.  ... tiny fraction of Avalon orders compared to unshipped chips.

Yeah the joke is on you who thought chips wouldn't ship like Avalon has shipped so far.  Sporadic and delayed, but someone somewhere is always getting a few...

...asicminer has the best track record delivery wise.

Fair enough.  But most of the hashing power in individual USERs hands today came from AVALON.

10yo boy speaking with himself.... all your childish wishes point to Avalon support.

Better than a 10yo playing with himself while he waits for his chips I suppose     I have a Batch2 in hand.  Sure it took forever.  But still, very satisfied would do again!  Since they offered FPGA upgrades for cheap, why not kill all the whiners by offering cheap modules to existing ASIC buyers?  (batch 3 whiners, looking at you!)
