Re: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service
Why do you think so? Its very easy for burnin to see the ordernumbers in his shop, but it would be much work to find out in which batch a customer bought, when this batch was ordered and so on. I, in burnin's shoes wouldnt do the work, and i dont see why that should be done. Burnin doesnt have to favor early chip buyers.
How exactly is burnin supposed to build your miner without your chips in hand? If he receives your chips at the same time as he gets mine, and your first in line (first to pay), you go first obviously. But if he gets my chips first and he does not have your chips yet, I go first. You have to wait untill he has your chips in hand to start your order. Its that simple.
As I just stated in a previous post, being first in line only helps if he gets multiple batches on the same day and your batch is one of those. If you ordered in may, and your batch does not show up untill 1 month after the april orders, you won't get your miner made untill your chips show up a month later. Burnin cannot make your boards untill he has your chips in hand.
This is why I was stressing that the real hold up could be the delay between batches. If Avalon ships all the chips on the same day, then order placement with burnin will be the only factor who goes first. Otherwise the order in which he receives batches of chips is the main determining factor in what order miners get made. Within the constraints of the chips he has available, order placement with him will put you in the front of the line. But if he does not have your batch of chips in hand your not going to be in line yet.
This seems fair, simple, and obvious to me, but I don't want to speak for burnin. Perhaps he could clarify this to those still arguing against this model.
Oh wait... he already did...
Clarification coming up:
The batch is relevant, because that's the order in which I will receive the chips.
Even if you were to be the very first person to order on my website, i could only assemble and send you your boards once I received the batch your chip are in.
And that's why the batch is relevant.
Within one batch the succession of the order number is determining the position in the queue.

And if your chips are in seprate batches...
I wait until all chips needed for an order are present.
If you want per batch shipping do separate orders for each batch.

Case closed.
