Now if only a certain someone had the sense to speak to this community so clearly and openly to begin with, instead of kicking the hornet's nest on here by mocking us all and punitively cancelling orders, I'm sure the "state of things" would be much nicer instead of having turned so nasty ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) A very well written and honest post.

will the chips in the mixed lots be specifically labeled with "A", "B", etc?
I believe a certain "Forrest Gump" quote about a box of chocolates is apropos about now.

What size fans are those in your picture?
Honestly, I'm not sure ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Had those fans kicking around in my stockpile from a bunch of old rigs, and dusted them off for this application. 120mm's I think

PSU on?
Duh ! Tarded out and didn't plug in the red connector thingy. Just powered on. EDIT: And here we go. Thanks guys. EDIT2: And the Corsair power supply fans don't even come due to this guy drawing so little power ! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FISMcMFQ.jpg&t=663&c=cY2HNYm2jKd87w)

If a company was in such dire financial straits as you are alluding to, why would they force a refund on a customer?
Probably because they didn't consider the negative legal and public-relation repercussions, or choose to deal with the matter civilly ? (And I saw your edit before you back-pedaled on it - jabbing me for buying 20 Erupter USB's ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

sorry for bad bad English.
Grammar is not a problem, there are many non-native speakers here, so that's fine. But using abbreviations and slang terms (like "u" or "wassup") makes it really difficult to understand. ah sho' know whatchu mean. da cracker ass english language iz fine-ass difficult ta master at times wif all it's subtle nuances an' grammar rules with muh beeotch

Expecting a blade in today and about to butcher two molex to sata adapters. What am I supposed to do with the red wires ? Just leave them plugged into their ports and only clip the black and yellow wires ? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F6FpKiTy.jpg&t=663&c=LKoG4co2BSWP9g)

... My God... What happened here ...

Very nice ! Tempted to pick up a Pi myself with all the exposure it gets in this sub...

Hrmph. Was about to pull the trigger on 288 chips and 18 K16's.
Guess I should wait for a bit after reading this thread... Ugh.

Hrmph. This doesn't sound good :/ Here's what we know as of today: - Batch 1 Avalons still not all delivered, no response from Bitsyncom https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=157856.0- Batch 1 badly damaged Avalon, Bitsyncom replied to say "that's unfortunate, we will work out a solution to ship this one back and send you another." and then no follow-up or response from Bitsyncom for over 50 days and counting. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178168.0- Batch 2 Avalons significantly delayed and still not all delivered, no response from Bitsyncom https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167726.1200- Batch 3 Avalons not delivered at all, no updates from Bitsyncom https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203745.60- Avalon ASIC chip purchases started over 7 weeks ago and no sample chips in sight, no updates from Bitsyncom despite Avalon website stating "30 sample chips will be provided 4 weeks into ordering per 10,000 chips." Of all the Avalon ASIC chip group buys, no one has heard a single word from Bitsyncom about the sample chips - Zefir's Batch 8 Avalon ASIC chip purchase issue has not be resolved or even addressed by Bitsyncom, resulting in ~$93,000 of the community's money being received by Avalon but no confirmation of the order given by their order system. No response from Bitsyncom for over 6 weeks. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177827.660At this point, there is no good excuse for the lack of communication on his part, especially considering the amount of money this community has spent to purchase his goods. These aren't technical support issues, either. For all the sensitivity there is now to potential scams whenever an ASIC company pops up, why isn't Avalon under the same scrutiny? They've shipped a small number of units, but so has BFL. Is there any way to confirm with TSMC that they are actually having chips made?? So many developers are awaiting those samples.

My crystal ball is shuddering terribly. It says, shit is about to hit the fan. Horrorscope of the day, if you are in, get out. Quickly!
You are quite bad at generating FUD. Good FUD is slick and subtle. And if it is good FUD you would only need to say it once and it will do its magic. Your total desperation to attack BFL makes it almost comical. Now that BFL is shipping in volume it makes you look quite desperate. * Checks his mailbox today.
