They are all finished now and i should receive them tomorrow.
To get shorter manufacturing time i need reliable AND exact information when i will receive the chips.
But as german customs were involved this time there was no way to know when i would receive them.
My contractor received the chips on Monday last Week, actual manufacturing began on Thursday that week.

My manufacturing partners offer short reaction times in comparison to the rest of the industry but i can't afford to have the machines rigged up and waiting for the Avalon chips.
The machines have to be rigged up prior to assembly, that takes time and costs money.
Also if i have the machine standing still waiting for a chip delivery that would cost me per hour.



Only if the chips are pin and protocol-compatible it would be possible to use the old boards for them.
(Maybe even remove the old chips and replace them for the delivered ones)
But i think those chips will have a different pinouts/interface/package.

Also with the Cointerras on the horizon i also doubt the Avalon 55nm chips will be available fast enough to compete with them.
Additionally we already have 55nm chips available to us NOW, those are the Bitfurys.

My Roadmap:
end of September to November - Bitfury 55nm
from early January 2014  - CoinTerra - 28nm

Regarding the BitBurner XX -> Bitburner Fury process:
CryptX will provide the chips.
Migrated customers will be able to order before the public.
ETA of the boards: early October.

Great news and thank you for your hard work!

Hmm, that's almost enough to make me cancel my Bitburner XX order - if you're saying cancelling is the only way to get an early Bitburner Fury :-(

Seems an odd way to reward those of us who decided to hang in there with you rather than bailing on the project

EDIT TO ADD: How about allowing all existing customers early access, whether or not they choose to keep their Bitburner XX orders open?

I appreciate that, thank you

When and how can we migrate to Bitburner Fury? I assume this will happen through CryptX' site: http://www.asic-hardware.com/ ?
