If the 55 nm chips are 4-5 times faster and use less power then the 110 nm chips, I maybe willing to wait until October or November for my order if it was upgraded to Gen2 chips. It sounds like there is a good chance Gen2 chips will work with the K16 with little to no modification.
Perhaps Avalon and Terrahash can offer Gen1 purchasers the opportunity to switch their order to Gen2 chips at no extra charge...
Of course, this all assumes that Avalon can actually ship Gen2 chips in bulk by mid October, which is highly unlikely given their current track record.
Why would you even consider Avalon over Bitfury for 55nm chips?!
Because Terrahash already has parts to assemble klondike miners. You can't put BitFury chips on a klondike board.
uh... where were u all week? Terrahash confessed to not have ANYTHING in place...
thats a huge misrepresentation of what they said
