I got a saying that applies here,"You are not alone!!" 

We're all in pretty deep do do because of Avalon....NOT Steamboat 

So,be patient & I'm sure we'll have some info soon 

ok, lets entertain the refund idea, we get all batches refunded, how can we then turn those refunded BTC into immediate profits?  What hardware is available immediately that we can purchase?  We need to recover our losses from the delay & assembly not being refunded?  So which hardware is available today that ships immediately?  Is asicminer products available?

I am selling 2 Avalons that run perfect at 350 MH/s, giving about 84 GH/s each

They come with the original packaging so I can ship them around but I would prefer a local pickup (Gent, Belgium)

School just started and the room they are in is rented to a student so they have to move.

BTC 50 / each

No some of us are not getting what we wanted or what was promised and I am not talking a pound of flesh here just some basic communication and refunds for those who have asked for them. I could have waited 1 day, 1 week or more but given there was zero communication for over 5 to 6 weeks I don't think anyone has received what we wanted we certainly had to make a decision about production without any information on our order availability given the months, earlier orders had to wait, we needed protect our customers and pulled the plug, our call definitely but lack of communication led to that decision directly and it is clear this company can't communicate effectively to their customers.

Our group has been waiting now 11 weeks for our chips. No chips, no emails, no refund, no official replies to our communication at all since July 28th when we started asking for information. When you pay 70K to 80K for something you expect a little communication right? There are others in the same boat some even later that probably won't see chips that have been likely sold out from under them to someone else just like everyone else. Buying 10 weeks lead time is our failure. Failing to deliver anything on time is his. Until everyone has their money or chips and has been properly compensated you are right that is when we can review the idea of buying from him. Given this fiasco unless he can fix the customer service end I'd recommend people steer clear. So many more companies are making the effort to do proper customer service so that decision whether or not to buy Avalon will be easier since it just makes sense to buy from people that provide exactly what they promise, on time and to top it off they are polite and communicate with their customers. Not very hard to do actually especially if you are being truthful.

For the record, I emailed SB 3 days ago regarding refunding a batch 5 order that I sold to someone else.  I am keeping my batch 2 order for myself, primarily because of the inability to get back any assembly costs (based on SB's last post).  I have not yet gotten a response, but I am sure SB is aware of everything going on.

Make sure you have the avalon only have either wifi or ethernet connecting to the default gateway, if both are on the same subnet, your avalon is trying to connect via both to the outside and that gives weird results.

If you stick to ethernet, remove the wifi support in the interface

I don't think the refunds have been offered because people were being polite. Unfortunately polite emails and questions were ignored.

Never invest again... sounds like the right phrase to tag on to that sentence.

"We are not accepting refund requests at this time", well shit it appears I have some bad luck and chose the worst group-buy organizator of all of them.

Dear steamboat, the deadline to get a refund is wednesday. Get a move on. You have some nerve to request a show of courtesy and respect while you can't be bothered to update us maybe twice a week in a time where it matters a lot to be on time with refund requests. You need to step up when tight deadlines are on the table, as SebastianJu and Zefir already noticed that this Wednesday is a deadline for Yifu is receiving chips then. Take them as an example please.

Its ok, 5% is enough. I did the work but the 9% were for a successful Mining gear. So i dont want to be greedy now. But thanks for support...
In case someone will give more i have a donation yar in my sig always... 

95% refund like we spoke about in the thread so that i dont sit on the cost and work of the groupbuy.

Why on earth does the most popular choice include the mention of potentially repurchasing/reinvesting again in future?

You were wantonly screwed. This was done on purpose. F*ck in-stock.

Are you lot a bunch of sadomasochists??

Mental.

This depends on the events of the next 30 days. But I don't expect mass shipping from KNC, if that's what you're implying.

Nobody is emailing steamboat - I am organizing this.
