Let's be realistic here. If Avalon shipped tomorrow, it will take a week to get from China to the CA, and then two weeks for assembly, and another couple of days in transit for shipping from Terrahash to the customer.

The bottom line is that if Avalon ships chips tomorrow, which is extremely unlikely due to many April chips orders not being shipped yet, we're all looking at a best case early September delivery date. 

If BitFury and Knc deliver in quantity by September, I'd say we're all pretty well screwed considering we'll have the least efficient (and most expensive) ASICs chips of the bunch.

Hey gang, (KL and S.gent) thx for the info on canary....super prices! and he sure seems solid with trust! Now if i can just figure out how to send and sign etc,,,lol, but its all there I just need to study his thread again, can't be that hard Smiley

How to sign,post # 410,if the link does not take you to it:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2087551

Just change the body of the letter to state what you want,its a great example  Cool

The bitcoin address you sent the payment from is ANY address you RECIEVE BTC with to YOUR wallet  Wink

Just copy & paste the 3 fields in an email or PM & your done!!!!  Grin

Hey I just read through that..its a good example. I may have a question still about this part: where am I generating this address from?


In line 1 - enter the bitcoin address you sent the payment from

I that my address for payment to canary (his receive address) ?

Ill look at it more later got to go get supper for me and my son... Smiley
thx Unacceptable,,,great link!

EDIT: I think I just saw my answer in your post,,,that address would be any receive address generated in my own wallet,,,same as if i was generating an address for receiving payment from a pool etc...

After you send the BTC, you should go to the transaction list and copy the transaction ID #.  Then, go to blockchain.info and search for that transaction.  The first sending address listed in that transaction is what you should use for signing.

Any information on when we can be expecting our Klondikes? I am assuming the Aug. 15 deadline is out of the question...

Looks like we are getting screwed in this instance.  Sad
Well...If they got the chips tomorrow,,,they said they would begin shipping in 2 weeks after receiving,,I  think... Its just hard to imagine that TH or with any company isn't given and accurate tracking and eta time with thousands of dollars of product on order.... I guess lets hope and pray! they come this week,,or yes we will take a huge profit hit if knc ships first,,,batch 3 avalons are arriving daily to their happy customers door steps as promised now...hmmmm our ROI will take for ever...Im kinda wishing i had just took my money and doubled my gpu farm for FTC or LTC lol..I hope I don't regret not doing that....lets try to stay optimistic

Do we know how Avalon ships?  Overnight?
Do they notify the recipient that their product us otw?
Answers to those 2 are the most important at this point.

I am kind of glad I decided to order me a BF kit on the side.

For the second and third batch of Avalon miners, they were sent DHL international express, or EMS. 
Customers get an email notification when their tracking number is created (but not necessarily trackable in the system).

I never thought we'd be in the situation where Terrahash is ready to assemble and the BkkCoins has a finalized the K16 board design, but Avalon failed to deliver the bulk chip orders.

I hate to say it but I think I bet on the wrong horse yet again. The only benefit of going with Terrahash over KncMiner was the fact that Terrahash should deliver sooner, and we'd have a couple of months to mine before KncMiner could deliver. If KncMiner delivers in September, they are a much better buy since you can get twice as much hashing power per dollar and their machines use less power.

The giant sucking sound you hear is the sound of lost profits for all the folks who have money tied up in Avalon bulk chip shipments.

Terrahash was also very shrewd to change their refund policy at the last minute before accepting pre-orders.

I long for the day when companies like BFL and Avalon become irrelevant and are replaced by companies that actually treat customers in a fair and honest manner.

It's a little odd at first. Depends on which wallet you are using: client or blockchain.info
I use blockchain for my payments. On blockchain you send your payment first. Then click the "receive money" tab. Click on "actions" and select "sign message".
Enter your name and shipping address in the box, and click "sign message". You will get a signature string. Copy it and close the box. Then PM Canary in the format he has requested with your wallet address at the top, the shipping address you "signed" with next, and the signature string at the bottom.
THX AGAIN! Just copied and pasted those steps to word...for quick reference....yes its different as I have never done. Smiley

Hey guys. If you're looking for a distribution of linux for your Rasberry Pi with CGminer preinstalled and ready for the K16,
BKKcoins is selling them at his store for $10 (+ $4 shipping). You could make one of these yourself, but it's not bad for $14 to save some time.
Plus, it would cut your time down to get started with linux. Not too complicated, but a minor hassle if you're only familiar with windows.
I've set up my RasPi with Minepeon and SSH, but I think I'll get one of these to test out anyway.

Where is BKKcoins store? I could not find it by searching bitcointalk forums. Thanks.

lol, yep im ordering one asic eruptor just to play with,,,pretty sure it will act like the klondikes with the cgminer,,, not sure on the raspi yet...even tho their pretty cheap now... where/how did you contact canary for a .55 one? through bitcoin forums?  thats a steal! was thinking btc guild,,or even on ebay for 67.00 now and i have a 10% off ebay coupon! WOOT! lol thx!

Canary`s group buy

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2830894

If your looking to run Block Erupters on the PI then I recommend Mine Peon as It only involves writing the SD Card and then putting in your pool details. Am sure it will be updated for the K16`s pretty quick as soon as the k16s are in the wild...

http://minepeon.com/index.php/Main_Page (server issues at the moment I think so be patient.)

Support for mine peon here >>>>  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.0

Thanks southerngent. That is where I bought the blockerupter usb from. Canary had a great sale over the weekend.

I'm using minepeon on my RasPi and it's working great!

I brought 25 so far with him and am hoping to double up in the next week or so, there are cheaper group buys but I have 100% trust for canary and he is g8 with shipping..

Very true. Trustworthy sellers are worth paying a little more to do business with confidence.
