阿瓦隆(Avalon ASIC)5.1邮件更新

今天早上收到阿瓦隆的邮件更新，解释他们近期发货缓慢的原因。以下是邮件翻译：

---------------------------

邮件标题：4月末更新

邮件内容：

很多的东西更新。

1。目前，我们正在调查显示严重受损的客户在三成左右的出货量。他们没有出现简单交付损伤：他们没有凹痕，但一些单位的一些角落已折断。这需要用暴力攫取3mm铝被囫囵吞下与0.9毫米在一个盒子里用泡沫填充螺丝。我们不排除蓄意破坏的可能性。

在未来，当接收到一个Avalon包裹，如果有任何来自内部的咯咯作响，请在签收DHL/EMS前，先打开包装检查机器的内部，如果有损坏，立即退回包裹。请务必提交投诉，因此我们的托运人可以从DHL/ EMS收到此信息，我们可以进行调查。

不要担心，即使DHL/ EMS不赔偿损失，一旦你发送回受损部件，我们会给你免费更换一个。

2。我们新的SMT设备已经到货，它需要进行调整，预计将在5月的第二个星期才能功能齐全。期待我们的新设施到来。在一定时间内，我们打算试水，通过我们的新的出货渠道，发送出去约20个单位。一旦新的SMT生产线上线，我们希望开足马力生产。

3。我们最近还发布了新的固件，是我们最稳定的版本，它也增加了约2GH/ s的性能，并降低闲置功耗。更为完整的详细信息，请参阅维基: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon＃20130419

P.S. Avalon开发团队的几个人在生病，所以我们此刻的行动相当缓慢。

邮件标题：End of April Update

邮件内容：

Lots things to update.

1. We are currently investigating on the three or so shipments that have shown up badly damaged to the customers. They do no appear to be simple delivery damage: they are not dents but some corners of some of the units have been snapped off. It takes a great amount of force to snap 3mm aluminum that's been bolted down with 0.9mm screws in a box with foam padding. We are not ruling out the possibility of sabotage.

In future, when receiving an Avalon package, if there is any rattling sound coming from inside, open the package in front of DHL/EMS and inspect the inside, if there is damage immediately return the package to the sender. The receiver must submit the complaint so us, the shipper can receive this information from DHL/EMS and we can investigate.

Do not worry, even if DHL/EMS does not compensate for the damages, once you send the damaged unit back, we will send you a replacement free of charge.

2. Our new SMT equipment has arrived, it is expected to be tweaked and fully functional by the second week of May. Expect an updated gallery of our facility soon. In the mean time we are going to send out ~20 units through our new shipping channels and test the waters. We expect to go full throttle once the new SMT line comes online.

3. We also recently released a new firmware that is our most stabled version yet, it also increases the performance by about 2Gh/s and lowers idle power consumption, see the wiki for full details.https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#20130419
