My 4 module batch 3 uint will arrive tomorrow morning. I guess I will have the first 4 module unit in the USA.

Two 4 module units waiting to be delivered to me tomorrow morning in LA.  It's all on DHL now. Smiley

I get them first. I am on the east coast. DHL always comes by 9AM  Wink

It's too bad that it's so hard to transfer BTC, especially for a company that is BTC-liquid.  Someone should invent a cryptocurrency that doesn't require weeks to process a transaction. Roll Eyes

For what it's worth, I didn't even want to go the refund route.  However, after filing multiple support tickets and sending multiple emails about a crucial shipping issue (I moved residences and wanted it shipped to my office instead), all of which went unanswered, I suspected I had but one option. I knew that it would be next to impossible to get someone with half a brain to respond, let alone do anything about the impending shipping fiasco...

 Avalon is not exactly a shining example of customer service.

FWIW, even though I received a tracking number for all of my orders, DHL shows it as only "shipping information received" and it doesn't seem like it is on its way yet. I hope I'm wrong about that and the DHL website is just slow to update on weekends, but it seems like they haven't left China yet or even been received by DHL.

Same here. Wasn't there a comment with early batch2 shipping that orders starting in China had a number of days delay, due to private carriage into Hong Kong, before they were visible in DHL's system.

yes, we are all eeking out our pitiful profits!

the real winners were those who managed to 'pre-mine all the coins' from february to july!!

since then the difficulty has made it less than attractive to continue robbing the very people who financed the entire operation!

Wow, 600 bitcoin for 8 units? That's ~500gigahash/sec. ~23% on your investment, which isn't bad if the diff pans out, for sure, although the amount of time needed to achieve ROI based on expected diff increase of 130 days is why I pulled out, because if KNC ships these may never ROI.

I'm kinda surprised you didn't ask for a refund given how tough ROI looks right now. I guess we all have our different assessments of how quickly difficulty is set to increase right about now.

I look at 600 bitcoin and I see 10 KNC Jupiter miners at 400gh/sec each, that's 4 terahash total and looks like so:

Assuming they do ship in September that's like 400% on your money, with a much more efficient chip as well.

Well, no doubt you know what you're doing! I wish you luck, sir Smiley

Maybe just an oversight in your analysis there, but shouldn't you raise the starting difficulty for your Jupiter calculations to something more like what it would be like in September? 

You used the same starting difficulty, when obviously an Avalon in the hand now is the only one of those two that actually will mine at that difficulty.  It would seem to throw off the whole calculation quite a bit if you were to start your Jupiter calculations at something like 50mil+ instead of where you have it now.

To try and keep this on topic, I have an early order (47XX) Avalon, but they are 4 module, and I still see "Processing" as status.  Are we noticing a trend that 4 module machines don't seem to have shipped yet?  Might make some sense out of the out of order shipping...
I want to speak evryday 10.31BNOW!

In the past 7 days, I got 70B!

There is now a back a machine

I think they are shipping just in time.

Looks like the only groups close to adding significant hash is 100TH mine... and that will only push up the difficulty to around 40M. And then it is smooth sailing until October.

I think the Batch 3-ers will just eek out a profit.

Congrats!

And that constant diff rise has nothing to do with BFL shipping backorders, also there will be no Avalon chips assembled, asic miner will stop reducing price and stop shipping thousands of usb erupters, of course Punin will fail to deliver his 400 TH/s units in August. AYFKM?
