when would the people in the first batch start receiving their equipment? I understand dates are set in stone, but what is at least the date people are talking about.

I do apologize, but when you compare me to the mayor of NYC it certainly feels like an attack to me    I have acknowledged that, I haven't been telling you what to do or hounding TH to change anything about the way they are doing things.  Take some of your own advice!

that sums up my feelings on the matter nicely

We all have our opinions, and we all are stating them, stop feeling like you are under attack for your opinion, and simply acknowledge that others have differing opinions.

Well, I don't drink gallons of soda....  or I disagree with doing so would be a better way of putting it.  I also don't go around slapping big gulps out of people's hands either    Nor do I walk around extinguishing the cigarettes of smokers.  I just disagree, so what?  It's not like my opinion really changes anything.

Are you related to the Mayor of NYC? He also wanted to protect the citizens from risk and ban large sodas for the idiots that drink it like water. It would seem if someone wanted a device bad enough, they are willing to take the risk. But you are correct, the person bearing that risk, should make sure the seller will provide a refund if the units don't ship and they receive a refund themselves. It's hard to do that with a level of trust, I'd require full contact info of the seller.

And full disclosure, I may still sell my 9 module unit if timelines don't start to look better, and I should be in the 10k initial batch, but that won't be until I either find out: A). I'm not in the first batch, or B). The units will not arrive until after July 31st.

I will say I need 1 to get the communication with the avalon going , After that I think I will be needing at least 1 more  to get the daisy chain debuged and working
But im not the richest guy ,. So id say i am willing to buy one at the moment , for testing

depending on the price just maybe a second one . Id think everybody will benifit iff its possible to make the host work (opensource)
No pc - no raspberry Pi - Just a host controller with webpage setup interface . should be ideal

let me know your price
Igor

P.S . Does somebody know where I can find a flowchart of cgminer , So i can figure out exactly what the host  needs to be doing to make the Klondike mine
Communication protocol is in the datasheets , but no flowchart ,. Could make things allot more clear

The obvious cash crunch is still very concerning, I mean they still have orders open, and are more than willing to take money without any indication of batches given.

Regardless, if one is looking for answers from Terrahash, the forum is not the exact place to do so, unless you are simply looking for opinions of others in the same spot. I can also confirm that Terrahash did indeed clean up the orders, so that should make may of you feel better, whether or not I agree with your stance on that.

They are obviously working very hard behind the scenes with many stresses given the Paypal freeze, Cloudhashing debacle and so forth. However, there is indeed some deception being done for their own survival. I believe timelines are the biggest area, but again, at least I better understand their entire model thanks to posters here, and that it obviously isn't a scam, just a venture with many bumps.

I agree with the prior poster, we should support them much better, instead of questioning every move.

So, again, Terrahash, is there anything that the community can do for you?

Let's keep it all straight here.  A) I would hardly call the way I stated my opinion 'kicking and screaming'...  

B) Yes I do realize that.  Do you realize that by re-selling the pre-order for something the vendors don't yet have, you are adding and passing along another layer of risk in that equation?  So it is not really the same thing.  My comment about selling the machine in hand was specifically for order re-selling, not the idea of a pre-order itself.  So the actual end user will now assume the risk of hoping TH delivers on time like everybody else while paying more for the same hardware, and that I disagree with that is all that I have said.  At least when someone re-sells a machine in hand, the buyer knows exactly when to expect delivery.  They will still pay more for it but the one re-selling it should assume the risk of waiting on TH to get it out the door IMHO.  Some of these guys might actually do better by waiting to re-sell a machine in hand....  

C) Who the hell am I anyway??  No reason to start any kicking and/or screaming just because I disagree.  I obviously can't stop anyone from selling or buying the pre-orders, is there some reason that I should not be allowed to just have an opinion?

How much? I have 3 on order, 2 possibly in the first batch

Anyone willing to sell me 1 K-16 Klondike from batch 1 for the purpose of creating and debugging a Opensource Host controller
before all the rest of the batches and controllers come to the market

PM me

Thanks

After 12 months of diff increases 1st gen Avalon will be about as ROI positive as solving SHA256 on an abacus anyway so who cares.

I wouldn't worry that much. The Avalon tech used by Terrahash is first gen ASIC and even with July/Aug delivery date there really isn't much resale margin for units. I think confirmed and paid Batch #1/#2 preorders might go for 20-40% over retail but not much more.

my order for one miner
paid today
with bank transfer thanks

Terrahash opened for pre-orders despite promising not to take a cent up until they have units in stock. Their hand was forced because 10,000, of their 20,000 chip order (paid for) was for an order agreed by Cloud Hashing!

Cloud Hashing jump ship after KnC are proved more legitimate than assumed, and demand their $80,000 back from Terrahash. The order was $105,000 in value, but $80k was needed up front to secure the chips from Avalon that Terrahash went and did.

This left Terrahash $80k out of pocket despite securing premises to assemble and further parts etc. for Cloud Hashing's order.

This forced Terrahash to demand pre-orders, something they promised not to, but had to or face bankruptcy before starting forced upon them by Cloud Hashing.

The community saved Terrahash because Cloud Hashing has no integrity!

Led to believe you would get the equipment before June? BS! Cloud Hashing was well aware the deal with Avalon could be delayed as BitSyncom sorted their shit out, as we all have known, but they were happy to jump on board until KnC started looking more legit, then Cooud Hashing dumped Terrahash high and dry whilst making a similar order for something with delivery in September...not June?!

Now, get this it appears Cloud Hashing want back in since Terrahash have had to order another 20k chips to satisfy demand; https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2527527 presumably ahead of the pre-orderers that just saved Terrahash from going under!!

After this, no one should be doing any business with Cloud Hashing period, that's just common sense. Integrity is everything!

This is without the fact Cloud Hashing's business method to their own customers is at best unstusstainable, and at worst knowingly faudulent. With the latter overtly being the case!!

Terrahash customers, Cloud Hashing put you right in this pre-order mess and now they want back in to jump queue, be warned...

Terrahash don't you dare return that call, Cloud hashing almost unceremoniously, and purposely sank your business!

it would surely screw things up if they allowed amendments to existing that's for sure!
let's hope not.

If you were busy, how do you know you could have been one of the first 10? You can breathe easy, I don't think anyone is selling a preorder for 22K.
