I was planning for buying one but no way for that price. I think now is safe to say that competition is required for that price to drop.

yup, its called a high risk investment. High risk investments usually fail, but if they are succesfull there a shitload of money

The reward in ordering first is the lower difficulty, and thus the MUCH higher profitability.

I could accept a 50% increase on the first units... But come on... +300%?? To get a unit when the difficulty will be SO higher? Just to get a ROI in (maybe) 10 months?

I'm sure you're happy of being one of the first customers to receive one of the first batch units. Congratulations. Yo did good. But this does not mean that you have to support such a bad move from a company. Be sincere: are you going to buy batch #3 units at this price?

+5.000usd for the same unit that was sold at 1.500usd when the difficulty was MUCH lower. It seems SO WRONG to me....
Note pre-order users paid high risks the chip will ever work or not.
Business done right.

This is business done right ?!  Roll Eyes

Yeah, business done right in a ponzi-style fashion. First one to jump in takes the big cut, last ones remain holding the bag (and broken).

I thought AVALON was a serious company.

Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong thread but here it goes:

Are there any significant differences between batches #1 and #2? any expected for #3?

Batch 2 units cost $140 more, after you account for shipping.

Batch 2 units "might" have 6 module slots instead of 4, but would still ship with only 3 modules initially installed.

A different payment processor is used for each batch.

your utility is very low!
assuming that you are in a stratum pool try to set variable difficulty at 64 to 66, i am not sure about the exact number though :p

Where do I set that?

it's usually in the registration of your worker at the pool you use that you can set the initial value, but as far as I understand the pool will adjust according to your work results. So it should only have an impact on the first activities


Thanks, I just found out this option under worker settings, now I set it to 64 and see what's going to happen...

No batch 2 ASICs have been received AFAIK.

Any differences according to description?

Nothing other than something in an email along the lines of learning from problems they had in batch 1.

Edit: Also, batch 1 were a couple of hundred dollars cheaper.



Wasn't there something about adding an extra slot of time allows?



I'll rephrase that, then:

Nothing confirmed other than something in an email along the lines of learning from problems they had in batch 1.
