Are you still confirming shares? I am still waiting.

Thanks for the update.

Few questions:
1. Can you say with more certainty how much TH this batch of chips (the full 12 wafers) will yield?
2. What is the status of the trading platform?
3. I am guessing the deployment will take place over a period of 2 weeks, bringing boards online as you get them, or will you get all of them back in 2 weeks or more?
4. Any ASIC miner picture you can share with us? (not the actual asic chip but a working miner)

Thanks!

However, the shareholders of ASICMINER are always in a better place

Props for the decency to present it as an equity deal from day one, rather than calling stock subscription "preorders" like everyone else.

Yeah, this. It still pisses me off how BFL abused all of their investors by calling them customers and called their investments preorders. Between BFL and bASIC, a lot of bullshit has gone on that ASICMINER and Avalon and the entire Bitcoin community could have done without.

Update

What happened last week:

1. Workshop with sufficient power supply and cables for mining farm settled.
2. Solution of mechanical parts such as sub-racks and heatsinks done and products bulk-ordered.
3. The mass production (second batch) of the chips starts in the fab.
4. The rest 6 wafers finished and in the QC stage.
5. Waiting for all the main boards assembled with chips and components done.

If our competitor meets their deadline and ships the products on time, congratulations to them. However, the shareholders of ASICMINER are always in a better place now, than device users. because while  the everlasting free upgrade from providers for users is not possible, all our future products will benefit our shareholders. Thanks to all shareholders for taking the risks with/for us as investors in the beginning of our project. Higher risks are almost always rewarded with higher returns when the risks are eliminated. Now the biggest risks have gone so please expect the enjoying of both short-term and long-term profits of us in the next years. And also thanks for your patience.

The deploying with the whole 12 wafers may take more than two weeks. But everything is progressing well and no exceptions happened. We will make more frequent updates when any new milestones are hit.

So the completed boards should be back early Feb?

Seems the trend of the thursday morning (GMT+1) updates have been broken, and at such a crucial time. I wouldn't mind an update Smiley

GOOD NEWS!!!

BFL won't start shipping before Feb 10th https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/692-bfl-asic-status.html

So we have a couple more weeks to mine at lower difficulty  Grin

However, Avalon ASIC has announced that they're shipping their first batch by the end of the week (about 20 TeraHash worth, if I remember correctly). They haven't posted pictures or videos of any prototypes, but I haven't seen any reason to doubt they're a trustworthy company either. It'll be a close race to see who's first, that's for sure!

Do I have to do something special to receive such an e-mail... I've send a claim email long time ago and AFAIK GLBSE sent shareholders info too....
I suggest waiting a few more days, obviously they are still processing claims and sending out confirmations every day. Busy with engineering, too.
