Burnin,

Have you received Batch 2 chips from Zefir?

Yesterday - late afternoon, production will resume on Monday.

Has anyone from that batch received their burners yet?

We are still waiting. It's difficult to see the posts by burnin about how busy he is working on bitfury and then to see from crypt that he is not handling batch2. So where does that leave the batch2 folks? We got an update last week from burnin that the chips were received. But we aren't getting regular updates or an ETA for completion and delivery.

IMHO we all paid for for batch2 boards, batch2 chips have been sent and received as part of the agreement, so shouldn't we be given the priority as customers?

That is my growing feeling too, unfortunately. I had chips arrive at his place briefly before that Zefir batch and he told me they will be assembled together. Now with him busy with so many other things it seems to me people who stuck to and paid for the original plan are getting shafted. I still hope not of course.

Additionally he _is_ posting about BF and Coincraft things... How hard would it be to post something short like "batch x started assembly"?

Waiting on Zefir batch 5 chips here, I know burnin isn't to blame; but this whole shit fest with Yifu/Bitsyncom has had me so jaded/disillusioned that at this point all I can do is wait. Wait for my bitburners to come, and wait until my 15BTC chip refund arrives.

I just hope this doesn't end up being like Santa Claus or the Toothfairy for all of us community members.

For those of you receiving your hardware very late, use cryptoswitcher.  It takes a little technical grunt work to get it all set up. But at this point, its the easiest way to ROI on an avalon ASIC.  Here's a screenshot of one BitBurnerXX in action.
