and just be glad you didn't order from BFL.
I actually ordered from BFL, i refused to pay back in september when i smelled problems.Avalon failed to give any credible explanations for these delays, while, at the same time, the network hashrate is growing at the same exact speed they claimed they where manufacturing batch 1 products at.
What does that tells you?
That there is a shortage of capacitors and resistors in China?
You have a fab that produces money making machines. Do you shut the fab down for 2 months?
You are correct, i should never have tried to explain facts and expect explanations on bitcointalk, because i magically become the one to blame.
If there are 1000 trade ins paid each 75btc, that's 75kbtc. If they also start selling the "avalon mini" during these weeks, that's another 3000 (survey number) * 20 btc (made up price) = 60kbtc. That would bring the grand total of btc in preorders to avalon this year alone to 285kbtc. That's only 41 million dollars. All whitout delivering a single product paid this year. BFL looks like a virgin compared to that.
And i'm the one to blame!
