Avalon has stated they are aiming for 130nm to 110nm.
Avalon is TSMC 110nm G :applause: Are you sure you're not tempted to start a bet about this? Surely you could've at least posted an angry video where Avalon team denounces the competition's evil child worker scam? Perhaps all in your hallowe'en costumes? You see, Avalon have been a great deal more professional in their conduct than anyone else (despite my bawling at their pre-order DNS resolution debacle). And I think they deserve some credit for that, when you consider how much focus has ended up on the mud-slinging (had to edit this to make sure it didn't sound like I was mud-slinging at the mud-slingers, lol). |

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

@Odi: spot on, thanks!
@benco: seriously, you would go and fill out a tax declaration and pay almost a quarter of the amount to your state at your time expense and frustration ? I'm not saying you shouldn't but would you ? Seriously that would be my last thought and I wouldn't go pay it, unless the tax man comes to my door and fills in all the papers or sends me by email with everything already filled out. Its their duty, not mine to waste my time to fill out their forms. First you'd go to your local Fiscal Administration waste couple of hours, then you go in line to the local Treasury and effectively pay the VAT.. sounds like 1-2 days wasted to give your state money for a product that is build outside of your state and for which they have no contribution ?
yes, since I will ask for VAT refund later:) yes, it seems that there is a 0% duty for this kind of computer hardware.. |

Can you tell us more about the power supply? What do we have to buy?
I'd like to know this also. |

I'd like to know this also. We need to know the power usage before. |

I'd like to know this also. me too  Of course this would mean he would have to give us power requirements which he has stated he wants to wait until he can say for sure what it will be. |

At least in Italy the moment you receive the goods you have to pay for the importation taxes.
I paid it in the past even for hardware keys.
Howeve if you can find a way not to pay it inside the eu, well, that would be a lot of money saved.

My card keeps getting declined from the BTCFPGA website. Is it because Tom is switching to the new site or is it something else?

probably yes, he stated that during site switchover he will disable ordering to keep database consistent |

I think its an OMEN! Tonights the cutoff of pre-orders, and I didnt think I was going to get paid until end of the week. I was paid TODAY (early), and was able to get the pre-order in. Whew! Can't wait for it to arrive  -Ryan |

I am sorry but I wont be taking pre-orders for the second batch until January 1st 2013, things are just so hectic right now and I need to be able to focus on the logistics and planning required to get 800+ boards loaded, tested and shipped, throw in some time to help with tech support and customer service of first customers - maybe I will even get a little rest  |

Also yes please note the cut-off for pre-orders for the 1st batch shipment in December is midnight tonight 12:00AM EST
If you want shipment in December you need to order before 12:00AM EST
As far as a second batch nothing is set in stone yet as far as dates or when I will take orders again. I know I said Jan 1st but that may change, it really depends on a lot of different factors, I will keep you updated on that.
The main thing for me right now is I need to focus on managing this thing and make sure those units are going out the door in December.
Heading over to the new shop - still got a lot of work to do over there to get it ready.
I will be taking and returning phone calls today

I know my bank actually had a block on the entire all of new york because of the high number of fraud claims, they said they only release funds if the client calls first and has to give them the exact amount and the exact company that will be charging the card, and only lets that through. After the charge it goes back to blocking all of new york again. |

Hey Tom, i remember you mentioning informally that you may start shipping the week after thanksgiving. Is this still the case? I'm thinking not since the website is saying December but just wanted to know for sure. Thanks.

Nigeria yes I have heard of that, but the entire state of New York? Must be because of NY City is all I can think of. If anyone has been to upstate NY they know that its nothing like NYC here I live in a small upstate community with a very tiny crime rate, interesting info though - wow |

I am not sure where this got confused. The tentative ship date is actually the first week in December. but its possible I said the week after thanksgiving because the week after thanksgiving and the first week in December are the same week |

If your card is getting declined I would call your bank. I will let everyone know when I am moving the site its almost ready It went through eventually and then I got an automated phonecall from my bank looking for further authorization so it was some sort of anti-fraud. I emailed you looking to adjust my order from 1 unit to 2 units few hours ago. Will we be able to make this work considering the cut-off for preorders is imminent? |
