Two more weeks™.. I don't mind the lack of PSU.
Only PSU cables will not be included.  Wink

Oh. Derp.

In face for people ordered Avalon machines, it will be tragedy that they may will receive their machines after people who ordered chips and third-party assembly service.
Avalon machines are being assembled right now and chips are scheduled for shipping in a month or more. Then all those chips need to be distributed to assemblers, then boards assembled, tested and shipped to customers. I don't see all that done before Avalon machines are shipped.
We all don't know the schedule of chips.
Base on previous many delays, I have reason to doubt when they will really ship the machines.

By the way for those who missed it, somebody uploaded another interview movie with Yifu from the Bitcoin2013 conference that answers more questions

While it might be cheaper and faster to assemble units without a PSU, how would they test them reliably?

It's only the power cord that is not included (and probably also no antenna and white gloves). I guess we can skip the hex key ;-)

Not quiet ready yet, but since we did promise an updateover the weekend, here's a sneak peak of the exciting two weeks that willfollow.


For those who did not see Yifu Guo'spanel at the conference can check it out below

Let's get started.


First, there will be no powersupply cable included in the box, you will have to acquire you own, it is an standard ATX power cable, get the socket for your country,we did this to save time allowing all the packaging of the Avalons to beuniform.




To summarize and recap the talk atthe conference:


Scaling from few hundred units that we had a few month toprepare for into a few thousand units in less than a month have provendifficult, we must admit that we have bite off more than we can chew andsuffering from "third-party dates", which are ever-changing. Weare playing catch up and expect to soon see the light at the end of thistunnel.




Facts:



New SMT line is now fully operational as of this weekend.

New shipping channel secured and tested.

Sample chips has began shipping.

Majority of all the parts have arrived and ready,

which also means we finally will have time to go over tickets, and send outthose trade-in payment emails.



What you can expect in the next newsletter should consist of thefollowing:


photo tour of the new Avalon factory,

the operating crew, which have doubled in size, assembling.

piles and piles of packaged Avalons ready to ship.


Sit tight, it won't be long now.

I don't mind if they start shipping these now before the next update. I'd rather receive my Avalon then a nice photo of it.  Grin

One thing I've wondered from Yifu's recent updates: He mentions scaling to a few thousand machines.... AFAIK batch #2 was 600 units and batch #3 900 units? How many trade-ins were there then?

Seems our difficulty estimates may be off a bit if a few thousand avalons are to be shipped in the coming months...
