I'm sad, I wasn't aware that third batch was already sold out...
What options are left? buy ASCIMiner shares?

I also just orderd few 85 Gh/s avalon.
but I worry about the problems I read here in the forum:
Avalon#1 stop working very often
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/problem-avalon1-stop-working-very-often-153698
Many ppl still haven't received batch 1 Avalon units

etc...

That was the agreement.
The thing I do not understand is why only these two campanies can make these asic's. And why would they sell them?
The last question is exactly what I don't understand about this two companies.

Because they initially got funding from the community.
Yeah, keyword there being "COMMUNITY"
Using pre-order money to fund R&D probably wouldn't have worked in any other community.
Bitcoin people are awesome. I just hope people get what they pay for.

Ordered a BFL too, hope it arrives in time. 
Have luck and mine a lot!

is batch #3 now available for pre-order? I noticed the site seems to be working, as the shopping cart wasn't working properly the other day..
The pre orders technically sold out 30 mins after they were announced.. but some people don't complete their order and the system opens them up again. Thus allowing new orders to come through. Looks like as of 1:33am PST they are closed again, though.
wow..dayyummm
I received one email from asic regarding batch 3 but they didn't announce it was open? when/where did they make the announcement? I just checked the site (7:48pm AEST), says out of stock, though it didn't say that earlier today..

Well, i think you made a smart choice. Avalon is legit and they deliver. The founder is dedicated to the idea of bitcoin and decentralized cryptocurrencies, and this recent interview with Yifu Guo pretty much explains why they're kicking BFL's and everyone else's ass right now:
http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/engineering-the-bitcoin-gold-rush-an-interview-with-yifu-guo-creator-of-the-first-asic-based-miner
Basically, a bird in hand is worth two in the not-even-prototype-yet bush, and a good plan executed now (while the difficulty is still relatively low for ASICs) beats the "perfect plan" executed late (or never?).
My understanding from looking into the BFL situation and hearing all sides of the story is that BFL's customer service does not engender trust from its investor's who've been waiting for months with little communication and no evidence that there is even a working prototype.

GrGreat story if one person can do it why can't others? I really feel sorry for all the folk who have been taken for a ride with butterflylabs. But I also hope that they do deliver on their promises from what i understand if they had brought BTC to the value at the time of ordering and held them they would be worth a hell of a lot now.
How come you just joined up here, you've obviously been a miner for a while... ??
Why do u say they were free?
Because he sold enough BTC to return his initial purchase and he still had enough to buy the miners. EXACTLY! I do hope these awesome things work!!!!

Why do u say they were free?
Maybe because he thinks he'll make them back?(or buy ASICMINER shares)

So I keep hearing all this about Butterfly and Avalon and just dove in and bought 2 85 Gh/s....
I do understand the risk and the issues and the yelling I will hear from this... BUT this is from the profit I made as I bought 800 BC at $35 and sat on them until today!
Soooooooooo I just transferred the other half in my bank account and called it a wrap!
I know there are many factors involved with the mining process for the outcome as difficulty and other things but even tho they were 100BTC each do you think they will pay for them selves in time?
Would like to know your opinions!
Thanks
Victor
PS - They were free in my eyes
