Title: AvalonASIC sale SCAM/HOAX
Post by: nawlinsx on April 05, 2013, 05:58 pm
I just spoke with Yifu at Avalon.

The ten to thirty AvalonASIC devices at $4k each DO NOT EXIST and are NOT BEING SOLD BY AVALON.

It appears that at least three units have been purchased - hopefully with funds into escrow.

I will drop DPR and Vendor Support a note now.

Could you please elaborate on this?   I have been (like many) following the ASIC's development and shipping with interest


Also, can anyone tell me why it would be "too hard" to assemble a high speed (60+ghs) btc miner with existing hardware?   

thanx M
