They are dealing with potential security issues in china. e.g. ngzhang doesn't drive his own car anymore, doesn't use his old cellphone, doesn't live where he used to...

That's a little... uh... disturbing...

Sometimes its hard for us to remember because of the results they get, but China still isn't a westernised country in regards to accountability. The State runs the show, don't like it? Have some prison LOLpwned.

Update:

yifu kind of left the door open for batch #4 by saying..."if we ever do b4".

Gen2 will be 55nm.

It does sound like batches 2+3 will be coming shortly. Their SMT machine was held in customs between japan and china, so that explains why they were delayed there.

They are manually pulling orders from wallet bit (for those that were caught up in the web debacle).

They have physically secured the transportation route between them and the shipper in hopes of preventing damaged avalons (said 6-7 Avalons had broken corners or damage).

from josh: BFL mini rigs will probably be split into 3 units of 500GH/s. They will start sell 500GH/s units...maybe in the next 2 weeks.

Notice how he just says they will be "selling" them. Not that they'll actually ship them in any reasonable amount of time.

LOL! Josh should get this copyrighted. He uses it so often it's not funny any more.

"maybe in the next 2 weeks" synonymous for "I have no clue" (synonymous for "can I have a quarter please?")

from josh: BFL mini rigs will probably be split into 3 units of 500GH/s. They will start sell 500GH/s units...maybe in the next 2 weeks. Power consumption of the 500GH/s units are currently ~3kW. Trying to get near 1.5kW.s

I'm guessing no indications on when they may have these 500GH/s ready for shipping? I know he said they would start to "sell" them in maybe 2 weeks, but I think everyone would like to know when they would actually be able to ship them.

i don't know how he can say this !!! first he finish his order that hanging for 1 year almost .

Agreed. Seems crazy to put a "new" product up for pre-order at this point.

I am most concerned with what Yifu Guo from Avalon has said as my 10-15,000 USD is in Avalon.

from yifu: no avalon batch 4. avalon will focus on selling chips and developing gen2 (don't know if they will sell units). SMT line should be up in a week. batch #3 will follow quickly behind batch #2.
