Topic: ASIC shipping dates (Read 19836 times)
kncminer is a scam. if anyone believes kncminer is legit, please send your bitcoins to my address in my signature before you lose them.
how many people have got jalapenos now?
I think KNC miner looks legitimate according to their thread. Of source we can't know for sure until they ship.
Avalon has definitely delivered, but is sold out as far as I can tell.
I can't find much on ASICMiner. They don't seem to have a website? This makes me very nervous about purchasing any of their products.
BFL has allegedly delivered, and their "pre-order terms" on their product pages say this is around the time for them to ship. I'm thinking they're just slow at updating their website (Mostly because the copyright in the bottom is still 2012). I've long thought BFL to be a scam, but if they really have shipped, they look like the only place I can buy ASICs from.
Am I bad at buying ASICs, or is this accurate?
Please don't give your money to BFL...let this ponzi + bait and switch scam die already.
Avalon and ASICMiner actually deliver what's ordered.

Are BFL and Avalon the only committed companies so far?
How about KNCminer? I suppose it's still a bit early to consider them, no shipping dates other than the vague mention of 'summer.' 
Finally we can make some damn salsa
...And sell it for BitCoins?
No but really. This is exciting. I'm getting a pretty good amount of money soon, and I just might invest in ASIC.
It seems like they'll deliver soon enough, and they don't seem so much like a scam anymore.

Mid-late April. Update?
It looks like the Avalon has shipped, but according to their site, none can be purchased right now . Not to mention the price is at 75BTC, which is 11,250 USD @ 150USD/BTC.
That's pretty expensive unless you started mining much earlier. If you wanted to do it now you'd need a 5Ghs setup to run for 9 months...

Updated BFL with this:

I just had this on my favourites to check once in a while along with the BFL site and the unofficial news twitter feed. Just wanted to confirm the OP has abandoned this thread before I remove it. There have been quite a few updates from BFL since. And there are still questions about Avalon's shipping schedule.
Yeah I just changed BFL to March. Josh said "Right now, I'm planning on a week from Friday to be the day, but I'm just gonna say that's subject to change at the moment, although I don't anticipate a change right now."

aka hopefully shipping the 8th? As far as avalon, from what I know it seems like only those 2 or 3 units went out and the rest are close to starting to ship. Hopefully this will be the last time I have to update this.

So is this thread dead and will no longer be updated?
I saw the following in another thread:
A few weeks? A couple months? 6 months?
According to customer service at BFL:

More Avalons? Here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1548831
There are absolutely more Avalons in the wild than what has been posted on the forum to date.
You mean they started to mine by themselves

but we haven't even seen more than two Avalon's...what's up with that?
From day 1 they said they'd ship in February. It's still February, so hardly surprising. Unlike another company that is coming up on 4 months late and counting.

GREAT SCOTT!

Three and maybe four.
they just haven't posted any info or pics on the forum?
The chinese one is the one in question. They posted pics, but there is speculation they are pictures from avalon themselves.
There are more pictures from the potential #4, it was received in a to assemble state. They are on here somewhere.
