We are sorry to shareholders that we are now >2-month delayed against the original plan. (Late Dec. against Late Oct. to get the chips, plus 4-5 weeks against 2-3 weeks to fully deploy). The status are resulted in by a mix of our optimistic projection, our conservative action and our un-developed relation in the electric manufacturing field. Thanks again for all shareholders' patience and we will keep the track of deploying, and improve our timeline with the lessons of this time in our later products.
It ends up not being an issue. BFL won't ship yet (or possibly ever), bASIC failed to launch, Avalon is in the process of shipping but no one has gotten shipping numbers yet (and most likely won't get the product in their hands until the first week of Feb), so as long as we start mining before or at the same time Avalon customers get their gear, we're fine.
