^^ Since we're rapidly approaching the "point-of-no-ROI", there's little interest in investing several thousand USD's on half-a-miner. However, if you were to release a smaller device based on 2 of your module PCBs, giving us a much more affordable ~5.4GH/s device, there would probably be a higher interest. The additional effort for such a device would be minimal, and DIY guys could always expand upon it, using the same controller module.

well, you can use the halfalons on altcoins.

still decently profitable.

^^ i agree batch 4 should be priced with difficulty and competitors in mind, including the diy crowd and the flood of chips just purchased. The Diy guys are pedal to the medal ... i worry about them more than bfl... Bfl is full of ****.. so there is no telling what they are up to.. hell i dont even believe the recent videos.. But the difficulty worry is not unfounded!!

That said all we have to go by with batch #4 is the "would you be interested if may early june" ... nothing definitive.

I wish we had more info.. at least on the timing if not the pricing too...

Takin orders in a week? two weeks? three? Even approximate .. Dont want to buy btc only to realize there wont be a roi or worse yet find out there wont be a roi and btc price drops and you loose youre fiat too!!

I lost $235 just in fees moving 6k to an exchange to buy btc in hopes of purchasing an avalon last time, and since i was unsuccessful the thought of just throwing more money away for nothing makes me sick!

aghh... Im need ta go pet a dragon & see if i can get us some luck. Hopefully avalon is having some luck of their own with batch 2/3 shipping and they can spread the love to batch 4 customers..

Yeah a notification via newsletter in advance to give us time to deal with fiat conversion or to raise funds..
Last time me and two friends went thru hell to come up with the cash and we got butchered and robbed of our opportunity! Sad

We already know there will be a new batch for order, as they gauged interest.

You can expect the price in BTC will be lower than last time, based on their formula that takes in account (rising) difficulty and the expected payback time.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1670882

So BTC 45 - 50 tops

We know Avalon only takes payment in BTC

We know they want to promote people to use new BTC related services and tools like Bitinstant and other ways of buying and earning BTC (try for example Localbitcoins next time)

So logically you should already start to save up and gather BTC, and prepare. That way you'll not get caught in the last minute with your funds stuck in some foreign bank transfer and loose valuable time.

Well, I think we all know that batch #4 will arrive in late June, early July if everything goes well... That's 2 months from now, so you should multiply difficulty x3 (27 million aprox.). That would mean 25BTC in 30 days for a 45GHs. I really don't know how some of you guys say that you will be happily 50BTC or even 80BTC as I read earlier when BFL started shipping and chips are sold by the hundreds of thousands

That said, at 25BTC per 45GHs unit I would gladly buy +5 units. More than 25/30BTC per 45GHs, frankly speaking is too high IMHO. Difficulty will skyrocket very soon, just imagine when all those chips hit the network + ASICMINER + BFL, etc.

to shred some light, the model is already made, as we have many prototypes and designs in house, it was a matter of if there's enough demand to warrant a batch.

If not, it'll just get made in a later timeline, for next generation for example.

I will offer you full price paid immeidately in BTC + JoshZerlan.com domain + ad on DonkDown for anything you wish + I will wear a patch at WSOP with Avalon logo + put anything in my signature + 10 oz. of my super-blood (I'm o- universal donor & never get sick) & dress my first born dauther in an "Avalon" onesie and post a pic on here.

essentially, I must have one of your miners and really want in on the ASIC game. Will offer all I can possible offer for one. Super excited.

Hey there, youre right and i have began to "gather".. im a lil wiser now

I hope its not so much ..

But a lot of new comers are not the wiser and i was in their shoe once. Im excited to finally be able to purchase this legendary miner, hell if the whole avalon team would sign it and title it "limited edition avalon asic miner" i would pay extra!

Cheers Grin

Edit: Still got fingers crossed on upgradeable unit.. (add module later)

Yeah, having some time to prepare would be good. Looking forward to purchasing one of the new units. I think I'll be able to swing 35-40BTC.

I told you bro, the response would be Good, so now get your butt moving and move out the Asic Miner asap before the butterflies start
flying out.

Please have mercy and kindly price them reasonable.. when could you open up the order? Thanks

If you already have them "in house" I am interested to buy pre-pre batch order, pay and send it with my batch #2 order.
Possible?

Probably it was asked before - How about a purchase of a single module (to fill in the 4th slot) ?

Don't forget that if you add a 4th module, you'll have to upgrade the power supply too.
