indeed... Now only if terrahaash has everything in place to make the orders to ship.
Unfortunately, without the basics in place such as meeting the hash rates promised... terrahash deliveries are still up in the air

Lets say customs clears up tomorrow. Still no boards, still no case, still no many many components needed to populate the boards to meet the orders.

Excuses on Force Majeure‎ due to avalon is now done (maybe good for 1 more week?).

Whats next? Stay tuned. This is better than reality television.
I'm not all that concerned about TH being ready WHEN the chips come in. I believe they will be ready.
But yes this whole worldwide battle for asic mining rigs is unreal. It is better than reality TV.....this thread was a reality show in the making early on.. lol

is quite unfortunate that we fell for amateurs thinking that they are better educated to provide services in this sector. This world is always meant to be ruled by the next generation of tech kids...

In this case however, our faith was clearly misplaced.

Here's Yifu's actual comment announcing the news was posted:

You know how it is - you've been on a long plane flight - you've been drinking free booze all flight in first class - you get back in front of your computer you've not been near for weeks due to partying, whoring and boozing in Vegas, and it's like
"Hmm PMs and emails while I've been away ... oh well, guess I better say something before I pass out so I can ignore that crap for another week ..."
Wakes up the next morning ... oh crap I said "tomorrow" in the post ... oh well no one will notice anything different if I do nothing for a few days, they're used to that from me, and I am only a PR guy, not like I know anything about hardware or software and have control over anything except delaying deliveries ... ... ...

don't you got better things to do like writing code mr. software engineer than waste time with some first-class-riding booze-drinking "pr guy" like me?

anyhow, update is live on main page. http://avalon-asics.com

lets just redirect our brain powers in pushing terrahash for answers...

Where are these overdue promised items:
1. Pictures of the DX Mini
2. Picture of a completed Klondike 16 w/ heat sink
3. Hashing rate reaching promised rate (not prototype.. i'd expect terrahash to have this down by now hopefully)
4. Invoice/POs of all components
5. Project timing for each step (project management style)



We're back to this again? It's only been a few weeks and we're back to demanding proof of things??


BUT

What I AM interested in, is whether or not Terrahash has performed all the obligations to their customers (less avalon chips) to fulfill the orders.
I cannot fathom why anyone would not welcome this request for common courtesy that we, the customers, are entitled to.
(unless some units were furnished with sample chip shipments received to certain individuals for crowd control perhaps? Like the Nazis provided preferential treatment to certain selected jews to keep them marching into the gas chambers)

Let me put it this way, my gut tells me that terrahash do NOT have everything they need to mass produce our orders simply based on the inconsistencies of their stories, flip flopping, misleading statements, etc they have publicly displayed thus far.

So let me once again invite Terrahash to clear its name in the public forum once and for all.
If Terrahash cannot, please refund all monies owed immediately as you are no where near meeting your obligations EVEN IF Avalon delivers tomorrow.

Therefore Terrahash is breaking the basic premises (not force majeure in this case, like you have suggested) for which we, misled customers, have willingly taken the risk to provide funds and await patiently for months, interest free.

Am torn here so I WONT comment, only to say BKK will have the new board hashing very soon, if TH has already ordered the revision he should not be far behind. That deals with point 2 & 3, a couple of pics would easily clear up the other points..

I'll bite,

How in your twisted mind did you come to this conclusion?

I find it ironic that the person that attacks so many people that mention anything, however minor, negative about Terrahash also has the first orders, and yet they are trying to sell it. You never had any dealings with Terrahash prior to this thread, right? I doubt that is the case, but then since you called in the first order, I find it odd that nobody else knew to call in orders. I guess you're special.

Obviously, it makes sense to sell it with ROI falling everyday, although why people would pay a premium over the already high price due to falling ROI (not Terrahash's fault), is beyond me, but people line up to buy the USB miners too. Early resellers made out nicely, as they also get the .17 BTC purchase for each they previously bought in group buys.



As suspected, you are a complete moron.

I came here to make money not to hold your hand while you decide if the money grandma loaned you can make you rich if you buy a bitcoin machine.
No one knew Terrahash prior to this thread besides Cloudhashing.
I didn't "Call in" my order, I'm actually not even sure how you came this conclusion since I stated that I simply checked out with a wire transfer which completes the order without going through the time consuming paypal issues. Landing me the First Order. (Again Logic, something you are not used to)
Anything I "Attacked" anyone on wasn't a minor issue and more than likely just like your post above they were simply making up scenarios to suit their view.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how selling a Terrahash order has anything to do with me not liking them as a company? Again I'm here to make money however I see fit, but I won't jeopardize a start-up company that has done everything correct by asking for a refund when they order parts as needed for your order. It's people like you with zero disregard for logic, others, and ethics that puts me in "attack" mode.

Just to put your mind at rest, even if I get this unit in a month. It will still be profitable for me over time since I have near free electricity.
lol, Im not getting in the middle of this one BG, but the fact of the matter is, Atomic has been mining with over 60 g/hash probably longer than any of us,  and way before Asics..and is a very active trader. I dont believe he had to borrow any money from his grama for a TH unit...lol, he may be lending his grama some money now on the other hand  Smiley I'm sure you got your orders in the same as we all did ,,just had better luck,,I was unfortunate, had wasted 10 orders #'s starting at 502,,till one went thru, thanks to paypal,,,not TH..ok, have fun guys! lol we got bigger issues to worry about anyways..like the big announcment less than 6 hours away from yifu regarding the avalon chip picture...

If you don't mind me asking, where or how are you getting 'near free electricity'? 

Thanks!

Because I honor their No Refund Policy and a couple interesting ventures have come up that I'd like to invest in,

I am Auctioning off the very first DX-Larges purchased (which also happens to be the very first order placed as well)


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2883243


I still have full faith that Terrahash will deliver and if these auctions do not sell I'll still be completely happy with taking delivery of my order.
If knightlife999 agrees for escrow, the price is way lower and more important I can find the funds, then I am interested! Tongue
Maybe 6K $...
lose 4k? great deal.
I

Lol,  I was driving home and wondering the same thing.



He meant to say $4k more than the asking price Smiley

Ahhh,  so generous of him!
I'd wait to sell anything until the tomorrow's super duper Avalon announcement.
 But then again it could be "thanks for all your money, see ya" type. Lol

A lot of those companies on Alibaba don't actually have the product on hand.  They just put some prices out there and then try to find the item if they can hook a customer.
