Yeah, it sounds like science fiction, but do you actually realize that Yifu could have ass-raped the network back in January if he wished to, don't you?

Wrong!? Its undeniable that someone had some "fun" testing 300 machines before delivering.
But If what they say its true, that they are struggling to finish machines, how to rape the network with 20terahash only?

If they decided to go solo in January and to produce 600 machines they would have had 40TH/s. In January that was more than enough to ass-rape the network.

And it's Yifu, a student in his 20s. Wait for REALLY big players to step into this game.

I just wish to payoff my investment before they step in Sad

This 40thash jump on network could be Avalons testing before sending to buyers.

600 x 68 ghash is somehow close to that.
Also person mining them is from HongKong. And miners are not full time online, it goes offline sometimes.
Maybe Yifu testing new products.



Agreed, it seems SMT line is up Smiley

15 million difficulty next.. damn. O;

We have an ASIC company that does not ship, one that barely ships, and one that ships but charges an exorbitant fee, and one that we don't really know about. I wish we have an ASIC company that actually ships on time, and does not charge an arm and a leg. Nope, it's too much to ask for. :/ I'm wary KNC might not deliver and be BFL 2.0.. Gah.

I guess the next ASIC company will be a private equity firm investing +9 figures on Bitcoin ASICs development, they will probably end up controlling +51% of the network and...........

*puf*

Bitcoin is gone.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Yes, an update will be very appreciated.

From the last update:

2. Our new SMT equipment has arrived, it is expected to be tweaked and fully functional by the second week of May. Expect an updated gallery of our facility soon.

Seems this just doesn't add up a bit with Yifu's words at the Bitcoin Conference 2013 about "SMT machine is withheld at customs"  Huh

It was more than a month since the last update was issued at May, 2.

ASICs on time; Business done right.

just imagine, if what you hoped for came true, diff would even be higher =P

Bump, come on Yifu send us a newsletter update. What's going on? It's been over 4 months now.

I guess it is time to trot this out again...
From the Batch 3 terms of sales:

Quote
Limited Customer Support - The Avalon team is comprised of a small group of capable people; however, we are also extremely limited in manpower. Every one of us handles multitude of tasks, and for this reason we will have very limited customer support. No news is good news. We apologize for this, but we do not expect this situation to change.

That item doesn't seem to be batch specific  Grin

Best course is to wait for the next update. 
I am sure it will be coming shortly.
In the meantime ... enjoy the good news!  Wink

No news is not good news when they are shipping the 55 BTC order machines prioritized after the WalletBit users who paid 75+. I am sorry but this is not okay, in any fashion of the word. If I had known this would've been happening I would've made a point to talk to Yifu more directly about the inequities in the shipping process... this is just simply not OK. Us Feb 2nd customers are being treated like lemmings.

What is taking Avalon so long? Have they said anything at all?

How many units from batch 2 have been shipped from batch 2? Like 30 out of 600, right? In a month? I know they were setting up a new SMT system but that should be all working now, right?

Do people have any idea when they are going to starting shipping more machines again?
