What about an AMC pre-order? They have lots of Avalon chips on the way.

Hey iCEBREAKER. Happen to know if they have a confirmation date on receipt of those chips? Does anyone? This is not btw a rhetorical question.

I'd expect Avalon to ship batch 3 prior to shipping their chips or there will likely be some unhappy customers.

I noticed from the pics on VMC's site that they have a standard PC IO on that unit, I wonder how there's room to house chips and cooling in there with a PC board(even mATX) as well. I wonder if there are pics of the unit open available?

Cheers.

I haven't confirmed their order with Avalon, but this seems legit:

Would publishing AMC's bitcoin address add transparency since we can see proof of purchase of Avalon chips, etc.

I think it would: Here is the address we are holding bitcoins at to purchase the chips: 16yTynjmSe5bsRGykDaaCL5bm2pxiEfcqP

We would like to purchase a full batch as group purchases have a commission of about 9.5%

Where did the other 460BTC go?

We have already made deposits to VMC for machines and they have purchased Avalon chips in steamboats batch 1.

We will be posting on bitfunder a full accounting of the funds by the 15th of June for the month of May.
