Possibly, I suppose an indication would be the absence of an increase in hashrate after all batch 2 units are delivered.

Good call. And everyone is just cool with that? It must feel awesome to have your unit finally arrive, but why is almost nobody pissed off that Avalon basically fucked up everyone's expected ROI so that they could earn more money for themselves?

Maybe caked was the wrong word. It wasn't a large accumulation, it's just been there long enough that it won't blow off with an air duster.

Still an indication that they were mining with "testing" it for a while before they sent it to you.

I've created an unboxing and mining video for those interested:

Ordered Feb 10th 2013, arrived this afternoon.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sold-avalon-batch-2-183598  ( For sale if you're willing to pay )

Components had a bit of caked on dust which wouldn't come off with an air duster.



As to why I received before some Feb 3rd orders, I'm not really sure. I did note issues trying to order on Feb 2nd and 3rd, perhaps I was bumped up in the queue because of that...

caked on dust? wow they musta been mining w/ some for quite some time...those fuckers...

One of the asicminer blades got stuck in the Serbian customs. Buyer's reported price of shipment was $39. After brief investigation inspectors found out the real price and are proceeding as fraud.

Important message to BitSyncom:

Could you please put on your website a price of batch#2 in dollars, next to the price in BTCs, which correlates to the amount noted on the shipment? For all of us who live in countries which have mandatory custom fees, this would come in handy. If only BTC price is noted someone could consider it as fraud as well, since it was then paid $1500 and now it says 75BTC, which is currently apx $10000.

Many thanks beforehand.

Is Avalon shipping with DHL Express or DHL Parcel?
DHL Express

Thanks... so this applies to the old batches too where a package was rerouted from someone to another address? I only ask because im in email contact with the security department of DHL in germany because it looks to me like they have a security leak.
When I got an email from Avalon containing the tracking number, I right away called DHL and asked them what they need to change a destination address. According to the person I spoke to, it is NOT possible to prevent changing the delivery address by the sender or by someone else who can give enough information about the receiver to impersonate the receiver.

And most important: If someone manages to change the delivery address, it will NOT be visible on the track and trace page.

As you can imagine, I had some worries until I got them...

Thanks for that... i will include this into my next email to them.

So keep your order number secret.

But what if you can call them and get the number because you claim youre the receiver? In fact i didnt even know that this number is secret. Everone is throwing them around. Buyers get them from seller, some are posting them in forums and no one knows that its secret and dangerous. But that wouldnt matter anyway if one can call DHL and get the number...

THX, where are you from? How did it went thru customs?
Did you get some invoice?
-> I live near Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
No custom problems
I think there was an invoice on the outside of one box, I will check later.


Yes, that is what I had.  4 days from Hong Kong to Atlantic City, New Jersey USA with no customs issues.

I am have posted my setup experience, pictures, and I am also tracking the profitability of operating the units and I am posting the payouts that I get:

When you say 4 days from HK to NJ, does it mean you received your Avalons on the fourth day or the fifth day? Thanks.

I got the tracking number on Wed.  It left HK on Friday.  Arrived in NJ on Monday.
Thanks! +1
