I appreciate your videos and thoughts, it's all very nice. I also wonder why everyone uses BTC guild 
like the guy who unpacked first Jalapeno :-)
like the guy who unpacked first Jalapeno :-)Im honestly unsure why im with BTC guild, i should shop around a bit more, but other than the fees %, why bother?
Because BTC Guild is:
- fast
- stable
- up
- redundant
- first to implement new features (like stratum)
- friendly
- well supported by an accessible admiin

The wording on the document is a bit off -
""4. To change the output voltage of each power lane, attach the red stick of the multimeter onto the joint space between the lane’s 2R2 inductor and the two capacitors nearby, and the black stick onto the negative input of the 4 pole connector, then use a small screwdriver to adjust the trimmer.
""
see video here:

wording should be changed to:
"

Initial thoughts:
* Blade can take up to 10-15mins to get to 10Ghash/s
* After and hour, acceptance rate is around 97%
* drawing about 70-80watts power.
Issues / problems found so far:
* Stratum worker isnt supported? i cant seem to get it to connect to btcguild's stratum server
* DONT wire up with just molex 12v power - use a video card power connector 12V lines - 2x 12V cables. (should be added to a guide)
* You cant tell which wires should go in where for the power adapter - but quickly solved once you flip over the PCB - and you can see +'s and -'s
* Hard to mount / stand up the blade vertically, would be nice for some drill holes along an edge of the PCB so you can fix struts to mount the blade onto something

Update
Just found out that the package is being held at the delivery centre @ DHL pending payment of customs duty feeds of approx £35
Going over there today to pick it up, pay the fees, and bring it home.

also, how many bitcoins will you have if you bought them in february instead of buying Avalon #2?
56.82106592 BTC
just a guess
April 23, 2013, 07:25:56 PM
Did all auction winners end up paying? I've got my batch #2 Avalon listed in goods at >40% off BlockErupter winning price with no bites from anyone, including those that bid over 42BTC but did not win. Seems like they would be all over a deal like that. I'd have to agree that this sale smells a little fishy.
The difference: blades were immediately available - in fact they have been already shipped. Avalon batch #2... Who knows when it will arrive?
Having the unit on hand makes a HUGE difference.
Yes 10GH/s will get you 0.5BTC today and for the next 5 days, then 0.4 for 10 days, then 0.3 and so on. It will have a head start but when it can only make 0.5 BTC to start off, when difficulty is 5x it will make only 0.1/day - one might be holding their breathe waiting for ROI.
I guess it all depends on whether you trust the network to lay low for a month.
Yes, but the buyer of my batch 2 unit starts mining on day 1 of their purchase. I am taking 25BTC off final purchase price per week Avalon delays shipment after buyer commits. The buyer is effectively mining at > 3.5 BTC per day until Avalon ships. This is a much better deal.

You just have to look at the original Asicminer thread and you'll see all those that invested in AM care about is Asicminer shares, they'd mess with complete bitcoin network hashrate and decentralization just to receive 0.001 btc bigger dividend and see their share be worth few bitcents more.
If you own load of AM shares that gained 1 BTC in value overnight after blades and USB announcement and blades auction stuff, you won't mind spending 75 BTC for nowehere close worth product just to pump those prices.
Friedcat, do the right stuff, get rid off auction bullshit, find a real, realistic price for your products and sell them on fixed price like any serious manufacturer does.
This stuff can just hurt the image of your company. If you follow the greed of your shareholders you'll find yourself doomed at some moment soon or later.

As much as I wish that was true, a business is in business to maximize a profit, I don't know what their manufacturing capabilities are, but I guess it's not 1000 of units a month, so auctioning off units that are IN STOCK makes sense from maximizing profit prospective. Although it does suck for everyone who wants one.
Believe me if they had 1000s of blades sitting on the shelve there wouldn't be an auction.
PS: NOTE about delivery from China, as you see it can be super fast. I recall I bought a computer three months ago and it arrived from Hong Kong in 3 days via DHL to Canada, and shipping was $90.
