Re: [Announcement] Avalon ASIC Ships

What I dont understand, why does not Jeff Garzik ask DHL for the tracking id?

Holy fucking shit are all people here STUPID AND BLIND?

You can just ask DHL with your identity for tracking numbers personally via DHL , just need to phone them!

Its fucking suspicious that still Jeff Garzik is doing NOTHING, nor Avalon gives ANY confirmation or proof of shipment!
Lack of comunication KILLS economy of Avalon! We saw this already with BTCFPGA, the're dead!

No, BTCFPGA was killed because they accepted CC.

Uh.. no BTCFPGA was killed because cablepair had no idea what he was doing.

I said that Dave assumes that there is not enough money, because Dave said that they already tried to do cc refunds but there wasn't enough money!

Now we can say that Tom needs to put more money on the refund bank acc, so the cc refund people get their money!


Why are you quoting information that is over a week old as if it news information?

I saw that render and laughed my ass off. That should have been a red flag to anyone with a pre-order.

With Avalon a week from shipping, I'm just hoping I don't pee my pants in anticipation waiting for it.

I hope the only reason for Avalon being silent and not having a demo is because they are busy packaging working products.

Your beloved BFL is in the same boat.. (They are planning to ship something like 1 week after chips are done).

Ive been in talks with members from the Bitcoin community and thank God

it Looks more like the Bitcoin community itself will be buying this company - not some un-known asian company

I encourage all of you - please see how things develop over the next couple of days before you make your refund.

I give you my personal word BitcoinASIC is under new management and we guarantee delivery by March.


Give us a chance to get organized and then make your decision because bASIC is moving forward. Any customer that sticks around will have a bASIC unit hashing away in March GUARANTEED.

Re: Giving Away a FREE 840Mh/s ModMiner Quad FPGA Miner Every Week in October!

oh boy...

Please let me clear up the confusion....

First off let me apologize for not being here to take care of the last week of this contest - Hurrcane Sandy hit NYC and was supposed to be heading upstate - thank God we got lucky and only had minor effects here - NYC was not so lucky as 10 people died due to the storm.

Anyways back to the contest - Please understand - here we have both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Time.

Technically it switches from EDT to EST in the beginning of November, so technically we are in EDT right now but in less than a week it will change back to EST

however It is common for people around here to refer to our timezone as "Eastern Standard Time" year round - we just change our clocks by an hour twice a year and don't think about it (especially since now everything is digital it switches the clocks automatically)

This contest has always been chosen by the block that was solved before 11:00:00 PM MY TIME which technically was EDT but for fun lets call it CFT or Cablepair's Fucked Up Time - since I fucked up.


as someone else pointed out - using the first three weeks as precedent you can tell we were using EDT or the newly created time zone CFT

now the last block to be mined before 11:00:00 PM EDT/CFT was:

http://blockexplorer.com/block/0000000000000280fffb2bcb8afd997a8a391076d83120d02264cbe0410e8f71

Last 10 of block hash: e0410e8f71

Official Contestant list :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AupRanrgfgJedHRfSEZneERlQTV4WkhUQTN6aUZGeXc&pli=1#gid=0


Total contestants: 80


according to :

http://we.lovebitco.in/raffle.html


winner is: dmcurser


Please PM me from your winning account with your address and I will get your prize(s) shipped to you ASAP.

Thank you to everyone for playing!




I hope that list is wrong and its actual 81 people because then I win!! otherwise congrats to the winner!

My question is:
Does everyone who says that they opted in get included in the list (to make 83) and then if they win and didn't have their sig changed they are skipped
OR
Do you ignore the people who don't have their sig changed and don't put them in the list to start with?

Currently none of the following have valid sigs for the competition:
niko
DeaDTerra
salty
Isokivi
Jay_Pal
DrHaribo
QuantumQrack
MrTeal (not in the list anyway)
crosby
001sonkit

+1, I would wait for Tom to finish the list as well I would advise keeping your bASIC sig in place.. after all how do you verify that they had sig in the first place? As a side note, I hope there are only 81 entrees as that would make me a winner!

i dont belive there was 83 that opted into the last round or was it if you opted in for first round you auto rolled into the next and so on?

You had to opt in, the problem is the whole damn thread got side tracked making it difficult to count

Re: Upgrading jalapeno to little sc preorder?

on 29/10/2012, 12:53:56 UTC
First off, you can't call them. Second, give them 7-10 days to respond before you send more emails. Otherwise you are just loading them down with more crap to sort through. Don't worry about being in a rush, we won't see an asic from them for at least a month...probably 2. Which would put us at about 2013. Happy New Years!

I think they have gotten better recently... around 2 day response time.

Yes i did register and was logged in. And went through all the steps till it got to the payment part and there were no options available.

Re: 2-3 weeks to go until the first unboxing of a BFL ASIC?? MAYBE?

Just saw this posted in another thread...

Quote from: BFL_Josh;3000
We are not going to be shipping the first week of November, I can definitely say that.  We are waiting on the bulk chips from the foundry, that is really the major delay right now.  As soon as that dam breaks loose, we pretty much have everything else either ready to go or in the pipeline to be completed shortly.

Q: when

Quote from: BFL_Josh;3004
They are not done yet.  We are paying for what's called a "bullet run" though, which is essentially an expedited process to get the chips done sooner.

> From BFL forums
https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showthread.php/104-Shipping-in-2-3-weeks/page8

They will probably hire some extra staff to make the 700pc a day runs going on with there haevily invested production equipment they bought this month a face tot face section of there employees at there production facility  be cool on there website, but without sunclasses  Cool Cool haha..GL and just click my link@sig would give u some rest... Kiss Kiss

How does that even make sense? They don't even have the chips yet.. but what about soldering everything to the PCB? Who does that? Do they even have their PCB yet?

2-3 weeks until hardware is shipped out that has yet to provide proof of a working device. Seems like that isn't enough time to go from board prototype to shipment.

Re: What is better Ozcoin or Eclipse
by

on 25/10/2012, 12:54:02 UTC
I mine on Eclipse, it has been great, although the US server has gone down twice in 2 months. No biggie, I just switch to the EU server and it's all good. My first pool was Slush, then Deepbit, now Eclipse.

ozcoin has never gone down for me. Bitminter had a few issues in the past when he was updating the server/api, but even when the webserver died the mining server was still operational.

Do what I do and set delilvery address as your work address. I have all my bills delivered to my office instead of home Smiley

Plus there's theres the bonus that you get a nice ASIC delivered to work so screw around with in the afternoon before going home

Leave it at work. Free power! Smiley


FYI, using work resources for personal gain is generally frowned upon, profiting directly from your employers electricity bill will most likely be a resume generating event if you are caught.

Ask permission for something vague and keep your head down, then you can get away with it.

I don't trust any of the monkeys in my office or the cleaners to leave mining equipment lying around.

Word, these things aren't cheap. See that big bitcoinasic logo on it then bam it all of a sudden disappears.

Re: Troll tag?

Who decides who is a troll? I think it may be too subjective to have just a few individuals to decide. Adding to that, I don't think it has the same benefit to the forum as say the scammer tag.
