Heh
I see no point in attacking, most of the fights in arguments start from frustrations that build up over time. And we're not responsible for that, society is....

Great evening to all!

Steve

my thoughts exactly, hey were all a bit twitchy, and need to vent somewhere 
At least t13 you take it in ur stride and don't attack ur customers like bfl does..

Glad you could dump some pressure off, even if it's off-topic. I know waiting for something you've paid is killing you, but don't loose your nerve.

To answer your question, you will be able to overclock your chips, don't worry.

yes... as I have read trough forums you`v right...

the real thing is that... even so... when or if we get the chips up and running we will not see a break even NEVER because till end of the year the diff will be like 200-300 mil... and to do a simple math:

let-s take my case...: 116 chips without overclock = 32712 Mh/s... 32.7Gh/sec

when the diff will be over 200 mill... and it will be soon... theoreticaly I`ll make...like 2.49BTC/month

-the chips costed me over 9.396 BTC

-and I have to invest another money into boards... like 7 of them.. so another BTC will be spent... I will be over 12-13 BTC maybe even more
-I will not get out my investment... and talking about profit will be out of discution

so--- in the end... If I ever get the chips... and decide well if is worth to mount them on a PCB or make some medallions for my girl out of them... be sure that I will overclock them to the point they will ``burst on fire``... because otherwise in a really really short period of time they... the chips... will be useless, gathering dust

-I really do not know who is gonna make some profit from mining in this way?...
like now.. ``we`` are like donators to some ``clever` guys who are dreaming at night... and in the morning... they put an announcement on the website like some MONARCH PCI-e type of card with 600GH/s that will be released .. nov-dec this year...oh no... late FEB 2014...oh no.. maybe like 2015... when with that piece of shit you will not make a single worth of BTC because again ... of the diff number witch will be skyhigh by then

-and the storry repeat it self...`THEY` ...`clever` boys have them... or will have them like 6-8 months before us ... and after THEY filled up theyer pockets...and caused again a new skyhigh diff... will eventualy sale them to preorders who waited another half of another year

-and then another asic chip will be out...with some who knows... 10 watt of power and 100TH/s... preorder...wait another 6months-1 year ...`THEY` , the clever boys.. make money again ... and we ``donate`` to theyer busineses to rise... and we will se that 100TH/s when it will worth like nothing

so... will it worth mining for an average person?
-the only ones that will make some good amount of BTC from mining will be those who will have tha hardware BEFORE us....and they will be those who will buy it from ``black market`` ,premium customers that no one will or has heard of


sorry for the offtopic

Hmm.. Correct me if i'm wrong but i think raising the core voltage of the chip will have a negative effect in the longer term. The correct procedure would be to undervolt/overclock the chips until you reach a good ratio between speed/stability/operating temperature.

Best regards,
Steve

0.081/chip

Hello,
Unfortunately i've seen the difficulty raise but haven't received any news yet. I need to receive a tracking number for the chips first. Or any other document stating that my chips are for example stuck in customs and i need to pay for customs, but nothing is moving yet. Only my small detailings are advancing slowly, my proto board will arrive next week, the firmware is ready, etc-etc.

Keep you guys updated as soon as i get a more certaing info.

Regards,
Steve

That's correct. You're not bound to me by ordering the chips from me. But I promise i'll take a look into his work and try to negociate. Currently i don't like his price, but meybe later we will get to a deal.

Hello,
I have made some arrangements to work with Martin, but not for the boards. As you know, everything made in the EU is more expensive than made in China. So, i will order heatsinks for now from him, but not the actual boards.
As i know, you can overclock the chips using BKKCoins' firmweare. It may not be a live overclock, made straight from CGMiner, but it's still an overclock.

Cheers

t13hydra's order was placed and paid more that a month after zefir's second batch. Come back in a couple of weeks

I don`t know why thydra is so busy... but I`v wrote him 5 days ago.. no answer

and I will write again untill I will have an answer

hi, I saw that marto from bulgaria has another 16 chip design, the advantage is that you can overclock easy by rising the voltage.
-will you collaborate with him to produce the same type of design, HEX16?

Thank you

zephir take confirmation that the second batch has been shipped

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2977483

t13hydra any info about your order ?

Avalon shipping tons of chips, would be nice to hear from t13hydra and get update on what he is doing and what his plans are.

Can anyone tell me when batch #2 was ordered?

I am making list of batch orders in one thread ...

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-refunds-processavalon-chips-group-buy-order-time-frame-and-deliveries-277198

yes indeed I can send the chips where ever I want for mounting to some pcb.... but in my case... I live about 60km from Steve...and everything should be quiker...not waiting for ex... the courier to arrive and deliver my chips to marto... and wait aganin for mounting.... and then wait again for the shipment back to romania....

But I really do not understand why he is not replying my PM`s and not even here on forum

Hi acidu,
I too have been following marto, am very impressed with his work.. I see no reason why you can't have steve send your chips to him for a hex16, just because you bought the chips here does not commit you to steve building your board. I haven't decided yet myself but have chips in different group buys so will probably send them to the same builder (depending on my confidence, if not I'll spread them about).

Steve correct me if am wrong...

At this stage in the game I might be tempted with the gamble at a large discount, maybe .04/05 not what your looking for am sure, best just hang in there like the rest of us..

If anyone is interested in my unit. Feel free to make an offer, Im not married to that price.

Due to the unexpected arrival of a batch #3 avalon that was due to be hosted elsewhere, along with my existing GPU rigs I now have too much stuff so can't really use these anymore.

I have 64 chips from batch #1

Will let them go at virtually cost price all 64 for 5.25 (0.082 each) for a quick sale, if t13hydra is agreeable I propose the buyer send the BTC direct to him, and then he returns 5BTC to me keeping the difference for his time and trouble once the transfer is done.

Posting here first to keep things simple for OP, if no interest will put them on the auction forum.

EDIT: Sale Pending
