I hope to be wrong, and our secondary market Avalon makes a profit.  But I'm not optimistic, for the same reasons I haven't invested in any Batch 3 group buys or assets.

Thanks for the quote iCEBREAKER. Unfortunately I was unable to find a source for the quote, can you provide one?

A paraphrase /ˈpærəfreɪz/ is a restatement of the meaning of a text or passage using other words. The term itself is derived via Latin paraphrasis from Greek παράφρασις, meaning "additional manner of expression". The act of paraphrasing is also called "paraphrasis".

A paraphrase typically explains or clarifies the text that is being paraphrased. For example, "The signal was red" might be paraphrased as "The train was not allowed to pass because the signal was red". A paraphrase is usually introduced with a verbum dicendi​—​a declaratory expression to signal the transition to the paraphrase. For example, in "The signal was red, that is, the train was not allowed to proceed," the that is signals the paraphrase that follows.

A paraphrase does not need to accompany a direct quotation, but when this is so, the paraphrase typically serves to put the source's statement into perspective or to clarify the context in which it appeared. A paraphrase is typically more detailed than a summary. One should add the source at the end of the sentence, for example: When the light was red trains could not go (Wikipedia).

Paraphrase may attempt to preserve the essential meaning of the material being paraphrased. Thus, the (intentional or otherwise) reinterpretation of a source to infer a meaning that is not explicitly evident in the source itself qualifies as "original research," and not as paraphrase.

Unlike a metaphrase, which represents a "formal equivalent" of the source, a paraphrase represents a "dynamic equivalent" thereof. While a metaphrase attempts to translate a text literally, a paraphrase conveys the essential thought expressed in a source text​—​if necessary, at the expense of literality. For details, see dynamic and formal equivalence.

^I'm not seeing the logic here.  I see scared money, crippled by paralyzing fear. 

How many boats have we missed now, "Because BFL trauma?"  At least three, by my count.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained; no risk, no reward.  He who hesitates is lost.

Nothing in the middle of the road except dead animals, run over by vehicles being firmly driven in a particular direction.

If you're waiting for a Sure Thing with Guaranteed Profits, better get comfortable. 

This is the crucial time to invest in pre-orders for the second-gen ASIC hardware that will make Avalon obsolete.  Well it was yesterday, when I got my batch one BitFury group shares.   

Otherwise we're going to mostly be a pass-through of an Asicminer pass-though, for a long time.

Yeah - now is about the worst time possible to pre-order hardware.  Supply is low, prices high and the boat's already sailed on the mega-profits.

Avalon batch one?  Too risky!  [*Batch one owners make a mint*]

Avalon batch two?  Still too risky.  [*Batch two owners make a mint*]

AM blades?  Less risky, but too expensive.  [*Batch one owners make a mint*]

AMC?  Too risky!

BitFury?  Too risky!

KnC?  Too risky!

Avalon batch three?  Less risky, but too expensive.  Let's wait, and then pay even more for one on the secondary market! 

Polls are closed on last week's motions. The results are:

Motion to invest idle capital in ASICMiner-PT has passed with 72.8% approval.

Motion to purchase a secondary market Avalon batch 1 or batch 2 mining unit has passed with 66.7% approval.

Motion to purchase ASICMiner blades not approved with 7.5%.

I've obtained 100 shares of ASICMiner-PT at an average cost of 2.47BTC/share and will distribute 100% of the dividends received to bASIC-MINING shareholders upon receipt. Dividends from the PT will be divided into 7 portions, added to our own mining revenue, and distributed daily beginning this Thursday(June 6).

Thanks to all bASIC-MINING shareholders for taking part in this process.

You'd be correct.

I'm following the many start-ups with great interest, but am reluctant to commit resources to anything without a proven track record at this point. With difficulty increases continuing to accelerate, I feel it's more important than ever to invest company funds wisely. Multiple vendors now have plans to ship raw chips and as a result time to delivery should continue to contract.

After the near miss early on in this security's existence I doubt very much creativex is going to even consider investing in anything until it's proven it actually has product.  And rightly so.

The BitFury pre-order scene is hotting up.  Another potential source of hardware.  Or scamming.

KnCMiners are also Coming Soon^TM.

https://www.kncminer.com/categories/miners is now taking orders.

I'd prefer Basic Mining place its bet on KnCMiner, because that's the one hardware company I've yet to get exposure to!   

Batch 2 had stopped shipping because there was something overheating and melting on the boards is what i was hearing earlier this week maybe they are fixing it b4 its sent we will prob get our batch 3 before our batch 2

So i guess BLF is about to start shipping.  This is probably not that good for us.  I hope we get our Avalon soon or the network hash rate is going explode without us.

Hi solstoce, nothing yet, but I'll keep an ear to the ground. I saw that...very encouraging.
