Has Bkkcoins provided anything more than drawings for his K16 boards? I'm eager to place an order, but I'm nervous. Also, this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=227103.0) doesn't shine a very good light on Avalon. If steamboat doesn't receive any boards for a given batch #, can we expect a refund or anything like that?

He has provided quite a bit, which may be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190731.0 and here: https://github.com/bkkcoins/klondike.

The decision to make a purchase belongs to each customer, and should not be taken lightly. This service is provided as-is, with no warranty.

I apologize if this has been answered and I have overlooked it in this thread. I would like to know the size of each board which is supposed to be 16 chips? How large are all those when placed all together? I have tried to check online and search forums on how they are size wise but have been able to see one. If anyone has a link to such information it would be very much appreciated.

I believe it's about 10cm x 10cm. If you get one of the assembly/kit options, they'll be installed on a K16. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190731.0 to track the development of the board.

That is correct. It appears another thread makeover is due. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Here's what we know as of today:

For all the sensitivity there is now to potential scams whenever an ASIC company pops up, why isn't Avalon under the same scrutiny? They've shipped a small number of units, but so has BFL. Is there any way to confirm with TSMC that they are actually having chips made?? So many developers are awaiting those samples.

Please see the first response.
