So it's looking like the week of the 17th for shipping, probably a bit later in the week unless the bumping house really pulls it together, we might be able to ship as early at the 18th, but that is pretty optimistic, more likely is around the 22nd or so.

Big thanks to you morb for keeping the thread updated. You're a good man.

I'm sad that at this rate it looks like my bitcoin experience shall never restart. Shame too what with coins at 20buckaroo-bonzais.

You can always buy bitcoins if you think the price will go up.

I was around for the great crash of 2011, and I pin no such hopes on an ever increasing valuation of btc, at least not in such a short term.

Are there only three ASICs due soon? I was under the impression there were a few more initiatives.

There are more initiatives (in alphabetic order):

1. The most known is ASICminer: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asicminer-entering-the-future-of-asic-mining-by-inventing-it-99497
     It is coming quite soon, but the shares of the mine are all sold.

2. New product of Bitfury: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/picostocks-100ths-bitcoin-mine-100th-140366
    Coming June-July, late, but the parameters/price are interesting. IPO of the shares of the mine just started will finish soon (01.31-02.14).

3. DeepBit Reclaimer: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dbrclmr-deepbit-reclaimer-asics-108375
    Probably some troubles, they are investigating at the moment if they'll continue: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/deepbit-reclaimer-asic-prepare-refunds-139089

4. Ehasher: https://www.bitcoinasic.net/  (the page has belonged earlier to BTCFPGA)
    More info: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-drama-from-bitcoinasic-140411

5. Goliath - no details: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/goliath-130386

Ehasher has been proved to be a scam - the page was fraudulent and Canadian police started to investigate the matter:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1507124
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1514121

ASICminer team has shown new photos and it's possible they will start hashing before Avalon's customers receive their units:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1510110
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1516233

Bitfury published many technical details of his new device:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1509922
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1512138

No new info about Reclaimer and Goliath.

How about the fact that you've missed every deadline you've set so far, and you've set more than a few...

[That is a very normal variation you are seeing.
Sure. Many turn on their GPUs again because of growing price.
Hm, none would answer that the Avalons were being received and people started hashing.
I've turned on my 7970 this past week. I had assumed the ASICs would be shipped by now.

Indeed, and I've turned on my 'ol 6870 once more to do a bit of work for me. It isn't much, but it's back to being profitable again.

(...) the network hashrate has barely budged. It's still not even at the levels it was at before the reward half.
It has grown from about 22000 GH/s (26th January) to over 25300 GH/s today. http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin-10k.png
It looks like 50 units working. Would they be so kind to test the devices thoroughly during the chinese New Year period, before shipping?
It may have increased, but I never said it didn't. Re-read what I said again. I said it's not at the levels it was before the reward half. And it's still not, at least not yet.

Not to mention the rise in BTC price has probably encouraged some to mine again.

Nvidia is profitable at this point

So, only 2 Avalons. That's it. No-one else has shipped any and we don't know for sure the 2 Avalons are even real?
Remember that before the public ordering for batch #1 opened, NGZhang requested that orders >30 units needed to contact him beforehand. At least one guy posted he placed such an order, so there might be more of those out there, let's say 3.

That makes for example 200 units in front of the queue for premium customers who will be getting their units first, before the riffraff gets theirs.

We are now 15 days in production @ 12 units/day, so that makes 180 units shipped.

And I'm sure these 3 (speculation) recipients are not likely to brag about receiving their units, they are probably busy hooking them up :-)

In short, none of the common folk orders have been shipped.

(prove me wrong, avalon, prove me wrong....)
That's exactly his point. Avalon started "shipping" 15 days ago. Like you said, 180 units. You'd imagine at least SOME of those units would be in customer hands by now, but A) We have no reports of any customers getting theirs besides the 2 units already accounted for, and B) the network hashrate has barely budged. It's still not even at the levels it was at before the reward half.
