BFL chatbox is so passive aggressive, I love it.

What a moron. That's like saying you don't want a $100 bill because Benjamin Franklin has male pattern baldness.

I went on to butterflylabs and told everyone about batch 2..
Oh, this was their response..
There's a pic on the listing that isn't here, so I'm guessing this is Inbox's ebay auction.?
Friend posted auction so he can potentially find someone willing to pay usd in exchange for a magic internet money printing machine.
Dear eBay,
I request a new category.
.
Lol, hate those scammers.
They're fast as demon.

Received my Batch #2 avalons today (3 modules).
Thank you Yifu, ngzhang, xiangfu and the Avalon Team.
Since I was part of the early 20, I hope this reaches Yifu and his team.
Shipping: 1 week via DHL
Duty/Custom Fees: I had to pay $250 for 3 units, location Canada.
Packaging: No damage to boxes. Styrofoam holders on the inside with bubble wrap around the machines.
Additional items: No antennas, no power cable
ASICs: Very clean, very nice finish.
Startup: Very impressed with the GUI, got them up and running within minutes. Firmware loaded was 20130419.
-change your pc ip to 192.168.0.101, plug in ethernet, plug in power cable, turn on unit, go to 192.168.0.100, login, under network settings change the ip so it's in the same subnet as your network.
-plug into network, change cgminer info with yours, start mining.
Sound: Honestly it's not as loud as I was expecting.
Visuals: 2 LED's on the front. Green is lit when hashing, Orange and Green indicators when it's reset/not hashing?
Hashrate: Relatively stable @ 66-68Gh/s. Seems like one machine resets every 45-1h.
11/10 for Avalon.

some scammer is already using your pictures at ebay lol
Thanks for the report and photos. This calm me a little, I'm too anxious waiting my Avalon.
Congrats to you guys. 
It's not my Avalon, but I'm happy for ya.

Splendid unit... Lucky Montrealer!
Congrats! they look fantastic.
Eagerly awaiting mine.

Yifu,
If you want to go into the ASIC business, purely, why are you tooling up an SMT line on your own? Why not just use a CM?
I got the feeling from his speech that he finds this whole building of ASIC miners an annoyance, not something he considers as a core concern. If I were him and thought that way, I surely wouldn't broadcast it until my obligations were well on their way to being met...

Finally, so there being shipped???
I got 2 units. one was black and that must be the "newer" version. It had that extra piece of metal in there for the air flow. I rebooted it an it worked for a couple hours but then it happened again. Rebooted and it is working again.
The other silver unit is the older version and does not have the metal piece inside or the green and yellow lights on the front That one has the "Temp 2 =-1" issue and the fans seem to running too fast. That is hashing at 54 Ghs.
Both say firmware 20130419
I am confused about the firmware. It talks about firmware and it talks about upgrading the miner to 3.1.1. Are those 2 different things? They both say I am running cgminer 2.11.4
I downloaded openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin. I installed that on the older silver unit and it didn't seem to do anything and it still says firmware 20130419 and cgminer 2.11.4 and the fans are revving high.
I am doing something wrong with the firmware updates.

What were your order numbers?
BFL isn't shipping becuase they can't. It's shear incompetence.
Avalon hasn't been shipping becuase they can. They are taking advantage of a monopoly and more power to them to a point, but they need to take care of their customers.
Dogs fighting for tablescraps have been known to eat their owners if they are starved long enough.

Or maybe the old smt line is busy?
I don't think that there is an old SMT line.
I guess production was outsourced so far, that's common and doesn't make too much trouble.
The production line being first priority, delivering second?
And how does that sums with them not wanting to sell a batch 4? You don't need the smt line for selling chips.
Come on guys... Get real. This is worse than BFL.
Worse than BFL? I challenge you to back up your statement. Exactly why is a 1-2 month delay worse than BFL?
