First you need an Avalon

Hey guys how do we overclock the Avalon? Do we need extra cooling?

Yeah, sure...

Not to burst your bubble but 2nd batch part one and part two have barely shipped. 

So I'm guessing they're starting batch 3 shipping by end of next week?

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.

"Sit tight, it won't be long now."

Just received update newsletter. Check your mailbox guys.

What if the sample chips are from the same batch they ordered to cover batch 3 (and maybe even late batch 2) orders and the fact they started sending sample chips out means they now got them delivered. Since if they had plenty of chips just laying around I suspect they would just have sent out the samples sooner, and I doubt they made a separate order just to get some sample chips.

What he said.

They are to busy "testing" your order.
We have seen the shelves of prepaid avalon units hashing away / "testing" this has not changed Im fairly sure.

The amount of BTC being earned right now from these testing units are likely to be a big factor in the delay.

Most awesome thing would be some sort of refund, equal to that what batch#3 could mine let's say two weeks (next difficulty jump) from now if they fail to deliver.
Sad that this will never happen.

I find it troubling that I will be receiving my BFL orders before receiving my Avalon b3 order.

this whole asic business is a tragedy:



deliver or not deliver, that is the question

The info is someone has already received sample of Avalon chips. It means all the people ordered batch#3 machine will be the leading character of a tragedy.

Yifu said an update would be coming this weekend.

So, did anyone get any infos on batch 3 avalons yet?
