After yesterday i would think everyone is "thinking" about the value of btc! Both sellers and buyers in the btc community!
Dude,

Nothing scary happened yesterday. Just market rules. Insane price increase which happen lately was regulated by the market. What worries me personally is panic not drop in price:)

Some of us did not sell our boards when we could only because the offer to upgrade Icarus boards was on the table.

I always thought I could upgrade my 5 Icarus boards to 5 Avalons.

But I guess we'll have to wait and see if they keep their promise.

There's more: I thought I'd be able to buy an Avalon at a discount price vs batch1 or batch2 prices. If the "discounts" are still the amounts published in $ but the discount is applied to the batch3 price, most of us probably can't afford it anymore.

Hmm, yeah that's the crucial question. Will they honor the Batch 1 or Batch 2 price for trade in clients. I don't know if it makes economic sense for them to honor the price now. Also batch3 customers would bitch and moan about how unfair it is that trade-in customers get such a huge discount. But what batch 3 customers must  realize is that batch 1 and 2 customers paid a LOT more in BTC terms than they did.

If they honored batch 1 or batch 2 prices I can tell you for sure that I'd be more than willing to pay that price Smiley

Well, you are right thinking in BTC terms, as this is a machine that generales BTC. I would imagine them pricing next batches around 40 to 65 BTC (just a guess), but I cannot imagine them charging only 7 to 10 BTC, which would be the equivalent of the USD price of batch 1 and 2.

At that price units would sold out in 1 minute.

lol does this mean that batch 2 will be delayed?  Undecided

Ah whatever, at this point I'll just go with the flow and stop bumping this thread. Hey if I waited more than a year for my magical BFL fan box powered by fairy dust I can wait another week or two...or.... Tongue

A week before batch #2 is ready to ship, we will make an announcement to those who wish to trade-in their last generation units to sent in their units, once we receive the units

We plan to start shipping majority of batch two orders starting on 15th of April.

 Huh

Quote from: BitSyncom
Trade-Ins. Avalon believes in continuing the trust that have build up with our old customers. Reinstating our policy of $300 per Icarus, $400 per Lancelot, limited one FPGA trade-in per ASIC unit. The trade-in program will continue to be available and will apply to 1st-gen Avalons when the time comes.

@BitSyncom,

Please publish trade-in terms, no matter when this process begins.

I posed the question thinking that most would answer yes of course, considering the trade-in is part of batch #2. It seems most are saying the opposite.

If you are right I will be upset.

Probably not. That's why I think the trade in program is pretty much pointless at this point. One would've been better off just buying into batch1 and batch2 with BTC instead of waiting for this trade in program that never comes.

Considering the big price hike for batch #3 one wonders if they will stand by the earlier advertised price for batch #2 ($1500).

Also waiting for a newsletter Roll Eyes

So how do you think, the trade-in program will work?
Do we how-to ship our Icarus or Lancelot first.
And once they received them, they'll ship avalones to us?

I hope this whole trade-in programm will start, before bfl starts shipping...

I think I've asked this before and perhaps someone else has as well, but BitSyncom do you think you'll allow those of us who went ahead and purchased batch 1 and batch 2 units to trade in their Icarus/Lancelot boards for credit in the form of BTC or a faster delivery for our orders that haven't shipped yet?
