Ok, on PS issue,
what does everyone thinks of this one?

(I don't care about power $ or noise Wink

)

I am looking to power 3 or 4 K64's and 2 K16's
Maybe even run my starter kit from BitFury.

Thanks

sorry, this is a little late and I'm sure you've already made your choice, but the comment about "I don't care about power $ or noise" prompted me to drop my 2 cents in here...

I just recently bought one of these seasonic 1000W platinum PSU's and I absolutely love it so far (will have to wait 7 years to see if it out-lives its warranty, lol)

For me, $ was also not an issue, and this is not a cheap PSU, so I'm sure there might be a better value for the dollar. But when considering the cost and availability of a power supply vs the kind of hardware we are powering, it does not make sense to me to skimp on a PSU... Also, heat and efficiency (they kind of go hand-in-hand) are a big deal for me, and this PSU is simply excellent in that regard.

I cannot recommend any other PSU as highly as this one. If anyone has an opinion of a better 1000W (or higher) PSU, please bring it to my attention. Thanks.

Hi Joe,

Interesting. How accurate would you label your chip delivery estimates?

With an August 12th delivery, and stated 2 week delivery turnaround, it would appear we would miss our original deadline of August 15th by about 2 weeks. Wonder if we'll hear an update regarding revised delivery estimates soon.

-JC

My estimates are ONLY based on two orders placed and two orders received that both took an average of 93.5 days to ship/arrive.

I could be 100% wrong on every order after that.

I will keep refining as others get theirs.

Do NOT cancel orders based on my estimates Grin

Whats all this batch 1 stuff? TH said they had enough chips coming in to fill all pre orders within the estimated ship time of mid august....regardless of que number....

Whoa what's all this batch stuff??

Seriously? Have you been reading this thread? Seen the list of orders and the breakdown of devices to chip orders??

Realize that all the chips were not ordered on the same day? So they won't show up the same day?!?

If you were one of the first orders your chips will likely be in on August 12th (estimated)
If you were some of the last orders chips won't be in until around Sept 22nd (estimated)

(see estimates here:)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/when-will-your-avalon-chips-arrive-260557

So basically there are three chip orders which will have subsequent device batches.
So if you were a late order you will likely get your device over a month later.

By the way, these are ALL my opinions and they do not reflect what reality TH wishes to instill and the chips may all arrive earlier and I may be talking out my ass.

lol I like that disclaimer at the end there Joe! ya lets hope your wrong,,,but???

Tell me, who is the people that are working with terrahash?

Who can voice the opinions and work of terrahash?

Basically what I'm asking is, terrahash doesn't say much here, but a few has a lot to say about what is going on. I'm new to following the works of terrahash, I thought things were ready to order about a month ago (till i looked into it more)

I don't mind waiting, i see no scamming going on yet (unlike some paranoid people claiming it all a scam), but if people are claiming to work for terrahash and taking money/coins off people, i'd like to know who is and isn't working/helping terrahash and who is/planning to scam people.

Sorry to throw this wrench in the works here, but I Would like to know who to listen to (knowing that terrahash is busy working on this project).

Terrahash is who you should "listen to"

Who you should believe..... Huh

The rest of us are just speculating.

According to posts in this thread, the Chips were purchased in separate orders ( batches). You can assume that they won't all arrive in the same day. So some orders will not be able to be filled from the first batch ad have to be filled from the subsequent ones. Tongue

I wouldn't worry about it too much until the expected ship date passes.

Maybe I dreamnt it,,,lol, but somewhere I read that TH had purchased an additional 20k chips locally (CA) and had paid a premium for them as a means to be able to ship all pre orders as promised...help me out here I know i read that Huh

All chips were ordered from the manufacturer, the orders were photographed last week and are referenced by the nice gentlemen who visited their office.

Kind of. If chips don't arrive on/before or at least real close to the first, TH's ship date goes out the window per the 2 week assembly time. If joe's estimates are right (let's hope not Wink

) that will put some folks into September or October before getting their orders.

I believe the additional 20k chips purchased were in the form of purchased orders, not actual chips in hand, meaning they will be waiting for those orders to be delivered in addition to the orders they had previously placed. I am not 100% but that is how I read it.

Yes let's hope I am 100% bass ackwards!!

Matched deadlines of incoming part shipments at this point.

Expect TH to get their chips on August 12 (+/- a day)

If your order is in batch 1, hopefully they will ship your items 2 weeks from that date

We will start taking reservations for Avalon ASIC assembly using the Klondike design (K64 and K16) tomorrow (Tuesday, July 23, 2013) at 10:00 am (PST). You need to deposit only 5% to reserve your spot. We will accept both Bitcoin and PayPal for this.

You will have to pay the final balance in full before we can start processing your order. Instructions for sending the chips are available on the orders page (login into your account, and click on "View Orders", or click on any order.)

Hi Terrahash, you seems to be emphasizing assembly-order for the last couple of post. Does that have any implications for already existing asembly-order? I guess those will be first in line? (me

And at this point are you still planning 2 weeks turnaround time from the time you received chips (which will be very soon)? Thanks.
