I see that a China based group buy I'm escrowing for has received the sample chips. Cheesy

Yes, Jimmy2011 recevied 30 avalon chips.

But , bad news is 30 chips only for 3 orders of 30K avalon chips

Yifu posted, that this was a misunderstanding and everyone should get 30 chips per ordered batch.

Will I get more sample chips according to 30 sample chips per 10000 chips order?

How should I distribute the sample chips to the group buyers, based on the 1st group buy, or all three batches? Before this message, actually I have posted the distribution message based on just the 1st group buy.



you're fucked.

You may fuck BitSyncom! Their comments on the sample chips that only 30 chips for each receiver address just came after our decision of the distribution. So we changed it to let all 3 batches share those 30 sample chips. I am so disappointed.


Oh, If u  fuck BitSyncom, things will be worse. I thanks batch #3 avalon must be ahead of avalon chips.

Easy  Wink
We all got upset, but it's sorted now.
It was some miscommunication inside Avalon (shipping crew). Every 10k order will get 30 sample chips.
Not lazy, just stumbled across this... link?
I will look for it as well, but my email from Avalon-ASIC said nothing like that.

Also they have a responsibility to fulfill their Batch 2, 3 and the poor sod's from Batch 1 Avalon's that still haven't received their unit first!

I'm not so sure about that. They have responsibility to do everything they can to fix their assembly production problems as quickly as possible, but presuming the problems they are having there aren't related to chip production I don't think they will hold off shipping chips until batch 2/3 (and some 1) is 100% fulfilled.

Chips are a different product with different requirements than a full miner from the batches, so shipping chips whenever they are available isn't the same thing as line jumping the batch orders. Of course I'm waiting on chips and not batch 2 or 3, but even if it were the other way around I don't think I would expect them to withhold shipping of chips because of unrelated production problems with the batch miners. Especially given all along they have claimed they want to sell chips not completed miners...

That said, I do agree it sucks though for the folks waiting on batch 2 and 3.

Probably in about 2 to 3 weeks those 1st and 2 batch baby avalon chip should on their way Wink

Yes, is indeed good news, so hopefully in another 2 weeks to received the Avalon Chip?
The way things seem to work my guess would be more like 4 weeks.

Not sure about that. The payment for bulk chip manufacture is still sitting in Bitsyncom's wallet.

Also they have a responsibility to fulfill their Batch 2, 3 and the poor sod's from Batch 1 Avalon's that still haven't received their unit first!

That would be seriously sly to f**k those guys over by prioritising the bulk orders over their units. Their time for ROI has already significantly diminished from what they were led to believe...

So you what ur saying is... even if the foundry finished building the chips, they should hold off shipping those until they can finish assembling batch 2/3 of the full units? Sounds a bit selfish dont you think?

Newest update on my Avalon account (note that this is for Jimmy2011's order, which he has already received)

Translated, that roughly means that:

Sample is sent, and the SF express tracking is: 302...
Please note that each (residence) address' multiple orders will only get a single sample.

That means we're shortchanged 60 chips for now, and possibly more.  Cry

No, only 30 chips regardless of how many batches ordered to the same address. Hmm... I guess we'll need to do this by all three batches. Let's continue the discussion there. Smiley

I got the sample chips, which were shipped from Haidian district, Beijing.

You got them, Jimmy?



Yes, I got a call this morning at 10:30 from SF-express and then I asked someone to accept the package for me. But I didn't realize it as Avalon chips. After I confirmed the package was shipped from Haidian, I realized that might be the chips, so I returned back from a trip in advance. And now I got 30 sample chips.

So people are receiving sample chips before the rest of Batch 2 and 3 are being shipped out?

Doesn't something seem wrong with that?

Disclaimer: I have a batch 3 order.  Angry

One person claims to have received sample chips.

I wonder if the chips are from the lot that will be used to make your miner.
Maybe they just arrived and your machine will be built licketysplit.

This is awesome to see ! Glad things are picking up speed with the Avalon team.
Yes, I hope so, but still every week..  every day counts at this point.  I'm trying to keep track of all the possible ways to get hashing power to the public here..   There are a lot of people that will see this and hit the order button.  Well good, I'm sure they'll get chips eventually, if Avalon has their say.  They seem to be really trying here.  But WHY can't they stop lying about lead time?  It is extremely misleading to their customers, when timing is the key element.

So that's a set of sample chips, and don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see it.  But their site still says 9-10wks for delivery of chips.  How long have people been waiting again?  is this really reasonable?  Come on, more transparency.  Stop screwing with people.

Wow that's horrid.  No apology, sorry we screwed up again and will be late again, we understand why people might be upset.  No, go outside and hug your mother, shut up you're just wasting your time.  This says that he does not care about his customers.  Does everyone get a blatantly superior attitude when they're constantly caught being wrong?

He should be reassuring people now, not saying that we are all fools for talking about yet another problem.

Looking at batch 2 being delivered in May and throughout the rest of June. Maybe batch 3 will be delivered throughout July and the first orders of 10k chips will start shipping in August/Sept? That is way off the original projected date on Avalon's website at 9-10 weeks. What do you guys think?

Yifu posted yesterday and stated there would be an update within the next week that would be "pretty exciting".
Until then, "get back to coding, go outside, hug your mother, do something"

Could you plz paste the url?

Yifu said there would be some news by this weekend. Not sure what the news is though. I'm guessing might be related to sample chips seeing as they're meant to be shipped end of May.
Is it true? Dates have never met.

I really want some companies to deliver on a promise now and then.  I understand this isn't the most simple thing in the world, and that people are often working with minimal capitol.  Wouldn't you learn to give better buffer times for your projects?  or not announce until you have the product?  Hard to understand how these things happen so often.

Avalon is offering sample chips now with every 10k order, which are sent first.
Did anyone already received some of them and could contribute informations?
