Holy Shit! I'm flipping my shit, that I didn't get a Batch #2. Heres my story:
1. Receive email on the night of Feb 17th saying orders will re-open 9AM EST Feb 18th
2. Scramble all night trying to learn how to cash in my USD for BTC due to the Federal Bank Holiday.
3. Stay up all night.
4. Log into the store.Avalon-asics.com website @ 9:03 AM EST - it says 330 Sold. (i think WOW 170 sold in 3 minutes? Well, I may still have a chance.
5. Leave my house to try to buy some bitcoins locally.
6. Come back at 9:24 AM EST, hit F5 (the browser was already open). Now it says "SOLD OUT". Hit F5 again to make sure.
7. I say "DAMN it really is sold out".
8. Go over to reddit, just to make doubly sure its sold out. I read this post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/18pemg/for_those_looking_to_buy_an_avalon_tomorrow/c8h71om
9. Give up.
10. 1 week later, I find this thread, and find out that they did not sell out until 3:30 PM EST.
What gives?

My order on feb 2nd was placed on http://store.avalon-asics.com/ and paid in full to walletbit.
There are no recent orders under my account.
Walletbit trying to help out but so far no news
yifu & company won't respond
a month has gone by and I still have no idea if they have my correct shipping information.

Same, save that I ordered on the 3rd and opened a support ticket on the fourth. Not a peep from Avalon more than three weeks later.
.
Checking the status of my orders on Store-Avalon.com I see only Feb 18th orders. Some show "Processing" and some show "Pending".
You need to contact walletbit support in regards to the orders listed as "pending", get them to contact Yifu with the payment proof
and the status will be updated to "processing" (that worked for me)
According to Yifu's last post

everyone who paid should be set as "processsing", still catching up to confirmation emails at the time of writing.
Unfortunately there is no more information available, I am also missing any confirmations for batch #1 and batch #2.1 orders.
I was, so I wrote a support request, which was handled a week later and I now have both my Feb-3 and Feb-18 orders listed. All orders show processing.
I presumed that they'd never get round to doing this, but as you seem to have had yours added to the store, I think I'll request it on my ticket as well. 
I've refrained from PMing BitSyncom because I'm sure that his inbox is most likely overloaded. Wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me?
I was, so I wrote a support request, which was handled a week later and I now have both my Feb-3 and Feb-18 orders listed. All orders show processing.#1 - Should I be eventually receiving a order confirmation for the 1st wave Batch #2 orders?
#2 - Should the 1st wave Batch #2 orders from Feb 3rd be shown on the website?
My best guess:#2 - Should the 1st wave Batch #2 orders from Feb 3rd be shown on the website?
#1: yes, i suppose they are very busy handling orders from batch 1, and only look at batch 2 support issues now and then.
#2: yes, after #1 has been fixed

Placed some orders on Feb 3 at about 11AM CST (First wave Batch #2). I have the WalletBit receipts. I have received no updates from Avalon-Store.com regarding a order confirmation.
Placed orders on Feb 18th at about 10:50AM CST (2nd wave Batch #2). I have Wallet Bit receipts and also received a Avalon-Store.com order confirmation.

It's a bit frustrating having spent the money I did and not receiving even a single email thanking me for my order. If no email is going to to out, I would hope that at least the website would be corrected to properly show my orders.

It sucks more from bfl investors who paid long ago. Theyd be better off holding btc
We'd get about 1 BTC a day and it goes downhill from there.
I get the feeling that there will indeed be a point where you will never get your investment back, like you might make half your investment back in the first two weeks, then half the remainder in the following two weeks, and so on.
just like if you take a step towards a wall, and your next step is half the distance between you and that wall, and your next step is half the remaining distance again, and repeat, you will never reach the wall (though you will get very close), and the changing price of the bitcoins themselves may help you recover the costs in terms of dollars, but you may never return those 56 (in my case) bitcoins that you spent in the first place...
personally, I'm hopeful that the decay rate will be less than half, and my gamble (note, I do not consider this an investment) will eventually pay off.
I wonder if people who ordered will mine back those 56 BTC...
Even batch one never updated past payment completed. This order will probably never say anything other than processing. If you see that you are good to go. The next update you'll probably get is a visit from the yellow or white truck of happiness or a delivery slip in a month or so.
has anyone's status changed from processing?
Nothing here yet still saying processing. Must be still dealing with batch #1 orders and making final shipping to them. I would like to see where they are upto with the first batch tho and where the first 300 units are at and who has actually got theirs. Am sure with the spikes in network power theirs more testing coming online and am sure their will be some out of that 300 solo mining as I have seen a big increase in Unknown status ie solo mining so more must be coming online and some people keeping quite about them. We can only wait and see, like myself am now waiting in batch #2 and would love to get it up and running before BFL. I would of gone to BFL but the amount of misleading emails I have had from them claiming if I order now it will be shipped out in May and many people have been waiting over a year so I cant understand how this is possible for BFL to claim will be shipped when theirs no doubt 10s of thousands of orders waiting to be sent out.
If BFL do produce a product then I will buy from them once I see people are getting their units. Until then it is Avalon who is getting my custom and I hope they provide some bigger units in the future but using less power.

How does Bowjob make the difficulty/total hashrate assumptions?
Bowjob does not make the assumptions, organofcorti doesIt's a statistics model based on an ideal world where there are no fuck-ups in shipping and customs people that celebrate CNY ;-)

So, Avalon ships on April 14th, 2013.. that means we probably get ours at the beginning of May. According to this chart: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0ol068iizf4/USN-rp-onoI/AAAAAAAAGXs/7UBDdEbiTHQ/s1600/9.10.chart2-2013-02-20.png

this could be the forthcoming round 3 of batch#2 and the dates for them...for the 19 of them, if someone catch the number...
Another thing about being dumb: You posted in other thread (BFL god forbidden)..... 130w vs 72w is a 20% difference. This is for the SC single power consumption.
I don't recall what kind of calculation i did, but it was correct. I was assuming 6 chips/single and not 8, etc. No need to troll here, FYI.The same way you assumed AVALON would not change their date?
I like your " i feel dumb, but i'm not dumb" argument.
I don't regret my choice, and i never said I feel dumb. I said that I feel like i was treated, by avalon, like if I was one. Not personally, in quality of customer.
I certainly did not like that the same way I don't like your trolling.
