But of course, BFL did something so silly where they apparently failed to do
optical proximity correction, and this is, apparently, why their power drain doubled.
Are you saying this as a fact? If so please link source.
I'll bet that had Yifu laughing for days and days.
Laughing all the way to the bank with batch 1 and 2 buyer's bitcoins who still don't have units?
Hmmm. I was in the last 50 of Batch 2 and have not only received my unit, but if the coins it generated were converted to fiat today I've made 200% gross ROI [100% ROI if you subtract the $1,500 Avalon price tag]. Since I still live in fiat, that's mostly what I' concerned with, but just for the record I am over halfway to recouping the BTC I paid for the unit.
Also, I bought a BFL unit in December 2012. That unit hasn't even shipped yet, has had its specs mutilated, and BFL has had the audacity to promise to deliver "in just 2 weeks" since January or February of this year.
Why do you side with BFL? _THEY_ are the incompetent a$$hats laughing all the way to the bank...

Im glad you got your avalon but doesnt change that people still waiting on batch 1 and 2 units while you have yours. Yifu also screwed batch3 by the delay, hence the refund(which people havent even gotten thier refunds when asked!) I dont side with bfl, I still am waiting for my bfl shit. I just like to point out when people make other companies out to be holy-er than BFL I've never posted any blind praise for bfl at all depsite the bfl trolls calling me a shill.
In reality no asic companies have shown they are any better than bfl ethically or in the interests of the BTC community. Even Asicminer was ripping off early buys of the usb sticks. They all suck. Knc is still iffy in my book. I think they will deliver, but not in sept. just my opinion.
