"Avalon ASIC Mining Chip: A3255 Auction
500 chips, 1.5-1.6 GH/s (standard), 0.9V, 2.0W
Thank you for your interest in this auction; the auction has now closed. The Clearing Price for this product was 2.21 Bitcoin. Bidders will be contacted within 24 hours, from the close, to be notified of their status. Products will be shipped within 72 hours of the close of the auction."

Wow, some amateurs! reused the winning bid on the mini auction and put it on the chip when auction closed without winners..

I don't get it. What bidders?

I guess no one bid on these chips? I didn't really get involved this time as I heard butterfly chips where (2-3GH/s and at 2watts). I hope YiFU is reading this.

Not our problem... no one is going to buy 55nm chips that underperform compared to BitFury and cost what the same?

And not from a manufacturer that lies and scams there customers...

"There are no bids yet for this product."

I guess everybody learned their lesson? lol

Let the chips die on the vine.

That is the right response. There are still people hurting from Avalon... lost investment, seeking refunds and so and so on. Auctions to me reek of desperation. Why not a store with a set price and shipping? Why the extra layer of complexity?

its already set at 30BTC in the store - they just dont realise the chips are only worth about $1-$5 each for a reel, not $10+

Also, the 60Gh miners on tradehill went for a reasonable price because they were plug in ready to go.

Yah I was on to that one too late. Price for those was reasonable, ready to go and for immediate ship.

Did they actually ship them to the "buyers"?

Yeah, the Avalons went out no problem. Other than them declaring them a higher value than they sold at (it cost me an extra $50 on my 3) the process was quick and painless.
One of the ones I got won't mine for more than 10 minutes before crashing though.

As of right now, the auction status is

Less than 24 hours and only 20 reels left to get a 6BTC discount from their store. Deal of a lifetime right here!

These will go for much cheaper, and also the ASIC arena is so crowded nowdays that it is best to sit and wait for the next step in evolution.

Batch 2 did not ROI unless you were one of the very lucky few who got them early

It ROIed very well for avalon since they mined with Batch II for a very long time.

Lol... nobody is bidding on them on tradehill. He will have to dump them sooner or later. I'll buy a reel at 5 BTC.

Woohoo, sounding like a real bargain now, by the time you spend about another bitcoin each on 30+ boards to get your chips running.

At least clocked to the max you'll be getting about 7-800 GH from them for your ~$10,000 worth and 2-3W/Gh at the wall, instead of the measly 550Gh for $4995 and 1W/Gh at the wall.

I'm seeing on the forum that there is now a 10% discount for BTC payments here, https://www.kncminer.com/?resellerid=233 but I can't see that on the site to confirm.

The power consumption alone means anyone with a brain should not buy these gen2 chips. We will reach the point soon where power efficiency will become important.

After screwing everyone on pre-orders, it would be funny if Yifu got stuck with bad stock that no one wanted and he had to dump.

Also, the 60Gh miners on tradehill went for a reasonable price because they were plug in ready to go. These chips require a significant amount of effort and extra cost to turn into miners. Just look at the debugging required for the K16s. Why would anyone take that risk for suboptimal chips?
