looks pretty good

Just want to say, this thing is sexy as hell!!

I am on their mailing lists. Thanks for posting this here. I will be following their updates with interest.

Thank-you for clarifying -- good to know!

I know that Terrahash has been talking directly to BkkCoins. Don't know what was said, of course, but they seemed pretty confident that they would be able to do this.

K64 is just 4 K16s printed on the same board, and connected to each other with either small cables or "PCB links" (which is basically a small PCB with two connectors).

TH Update - they have finished the design of the DX Large

1.See-through acrylic window.
2.L-shaped body design for easy access to the inner components.
3.Fading circular pattern for fans/airflow.
4.Feet on two sides for horizontal and vertical placement.
5.Stackable design








Im sure many of you are on their mailing list too, but some may not be which is why I wanted to get this here.


So, case design is done, good job!  On to more pressing issues?

Good looking casing for sure!

Are there strong indicators that the K64 board is going to be ready when chips begin arriving from Avalon? I got the impression that Bkk and his collaborators were focusing on the K16 first? The case design is impressive and demonstrates the effort you guys are putting into this!

Seen the final DX large model.
Looks very good.
I am very interested in these products.

Yep, still looking for that ever so important order information/confirmation...

Sorry I rem reading when they first posted and then I remembered posts requesting proof of ordering...

I think they claim to have already ordered 20,000 chips... First page of this thread.

...only one's to invest with. The fact that any company offers that facility as an option shows that they are serious.

Benchmark in my opinion.

So has Terrahash already placed an order for Avalon chips?

I understand credit cards add hurdles and processing fees for the merchant, so I'd gladly pay a 5% fee to make up for Terrahash's trouble. Honestly, given the wild west we live in, the ASIC ventures that decide to take credit cards are probably the ones I'll invest with.

International shipping with DHL



Might as well have Ace Ventura deliver.  Yeah, I don't trust something so valuable exchanging so many hands.

Avalon is a wild card, but I do not see it as a potential hurdle, just something that MAY upset the speedy delivery of my ASIC

I think the original post needs some updating to it as well.

Any updates on those pictures promised??  I can't get someone out to your facility for at least two weeks, potentially longer

Still trying to see if I can get approved for the trip to Santa Clara since from the 21st to the 25th I will be in LA at the Biltmore hotel setting up a new office attached to the hotel.  

I know we are all being pushy with each of these companies, albeit TH, KNC, Bitfury, etc. but this IS a race and there is a lot of BTC at stake here.  So far I am looking at these companies, and one of the major things separating TH from the others is that they ARE in the US.  I have a hard time being able to trust any foreign entity when it comes to pre-ordering, and/or purchasing, or intermediary for the over seas purchase

TH Pro's

TH is in the US (this only benefits if you reside in the US)
No pre-order money
Press release from the co. not some half assed forum post (this pro is weighted lightly though)
Physical location easily verifiable (can someone get out there please, damn!!! )
Offering assembly (this could be a Con rather than a Pro if this turns out to be a scam, which I do not think this is)
Price vs. compeition (slim, but present)
Estimated turn around once boards and chips are in hand is two weeks (for testing) and estimated production is 250 per day ( this could be fodder)

TH Con's

Communication and updates are not on par with some of the other entities out there
Avalon Batch - unknown order date/status/ETA/verification (unless it was posted somewhere and I missed it)
No escrow (I consider this neutral, but others do not.  With escrow, TH could still run off with our BTC)
No alternative form of payment to build trust and security on 'first in' orders ( I would like to be able to say I was the first to purchase a TH miner!)
Appear to be the furthest off in comparison to the rest (could be opposite, absent of updates)

awesome.  I'd be happy to swing by with a camera.  When do you think you'll have some prototypes to show off?

There seems to be some leeway on this. Look up Bitcoinorama's posts on the subject in the KNC Miner threads. I don't yet know how much this applies in the US, but his CC issuer will take up the case after Paypal is done. Since they are simply a payment processor, the law may not consider them a third party. (He is in UK)
