lets look at this clearly

Terrahash has some things on order or set up to order as soon as chips make an appearance                         so they say
Terrahash didnt continue allowing preorders after they filled all the orders they think they can
produce after 2 weeks of chip delivery                                                                                                   check
Terrahash has let us see their office and has shown pictures of their boards hashing                                      check
Terrahash has donated a sizable chunk of money to BKK coins for developing the  boards                                check

Terrahash has not shown every invoice order form or receipt ..... iow is not allowing a public audit....                duh
terrahash has not received the chips and therefore is not in breach of any contract.....                                  check
terrahash hasnt told us which batch we are in                                                                                         just guess no ROI anymore
                                                                                                                                                      anyways
we are all losing money and are grumpy.....                                                                                             check
everything we write in here is speculation with very little proof                                                                   check
Bitcoin is an imature and exciting environment                                                                                          check

im gonna get called a bootlicker for writing this                                                                                        suck it
Actually I think you summed it up very well regarding us and terrahash Smiley yifu is another topic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_time
I posted about lead time just as a reference for those looking out to sue.

Order Lead Time - Time from customer order received to customer order delivered.


LOL looks like they screwed them self up
yep and unfortunately thats what everyone based their production on,,,nice screenshot by the way

I have a great Idea, I think the Klondike community as a whole, should designate pajak666 and vigil to be in charge of going after yifu and starting the legal proceedings against him and avalon. And report daily at a set time (in here) of their progress. Once the lawsuit is concluded, and restitution paid, (even if 3 years from now) we all can donate .001 BTC for all the effort we know they will put in to it.
3525  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Incoming Avalon News 8/9/2013 on: August 11, 2013, 05:57:54 PM

3.  What action, that is possible today, will satisfy you?




3. Easy game: noticing authorities, hiring lawyer, request refund in law manner, yifu with huge fine or behind bars with Pirateat40, new bitsyncom investor noticed about shady practices breaks the deal, Yifu stuck with outdated 40nm chips, no money and a trial.
That's what he should get for stealing from bitcoin community. For all those lies, shipping delays, alibaba chips, refund delays, calculating price based on ROI and not delivering in promised time. I still  can't understand how 1 person could scam so many people and get away with it.

He should be buried in every possible way,there is no place to show who is better person now.

Do I understand, you want vengance?

Now if I had to guess, I'd sure say so. lol

Terrahash would you please shed some light on all these events this past week?

Remember we want the good, bad and the ugly on all the issues facing you as they directly affect us as well. We still would rather you succeed in your start up effort. Please remember that. We are not the enemy. Smiley
3527  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Incoming Avalon News 8/9/2013 on: August 11, 2013, 05:43:40 PM
People have already spent 100s of hours designing boards and ordering parts for these chips.
Exactly so.  The root source of my personal disappointment and anger at Mr. YiFu is the economic damage done to these people.

For others to say, "oh, just forget about Gen 1, and fold those with gen 1 orders into gen2" ignores the effect on these efforts.

Also, to ship gen1 now can still provide such things as the Klondike boards in time for many to recover some of what had been hoped.

I'm not condoning what Avalon did. The way they handled bulk chip orders has been terrible, but that is water under the bridge at this point. You can't change the past.

The only question now is what is in the best interest of bulk chip buyers from this point forward.
well if nothing else, and assuming we never see the gen 1 chips for another month,,(for what ever reasons) then yes, at that point,,,then why not get the new chips if at same price and as was pointed out the new gen2 should be compatible with the basic klondike design.I dont know how many people/company's have actually had the new boards printed yet,,,so? I guess nothing is out of the question at this point. Not to say I would much rather have the gen 1 ship next week and be done with it! Smiley

You are just as much a shill as the others. I don't need to hear from your old ass what I should be doing.

Why do we need to be careful? So at what point does it become OK to mapout these conspiracies? You sound like G W Bush when he spoke about 911 at the UN regarding "not tolerating outrageous conspiracy theories".
You need to calm down, and check the editing on your quotes.  It's not clear from it whether you were directing you comment at me, or at MinerManNC

Regarding the bolded part of your analysis, I'm going to suggest a little homework for you:  the concept of False Equivalence.  (Which, ironically, was used a lot by the Bush White House). There'll be a pop quiz later in the thread.
Sorry Loredo, I was just agreeing with what you said,,,,don't worry about vagil, he has obvious anger management issues.

I quoted MinermanMC. But since you initially made the statement he bolded then that part applies to you as well. I don't have time or purpose to look up false equivalence.

Because he and others are "in" on the "delay". Over in the TH thread, the only two guys who are trying to deter talk are the guys who visited TH to prove to us they were legit. This same thing was noticed in another operation - that those who visited the site were trying to defend the "business" who was not delivering on their promise.
We need to be careful before we start to map out huge conspiracies involving members of the community.  

It's human nature to defend something that someone has grown close to, or something someone has come to support.  

Examples are everywhere, with each vendor.   In most every case, there are real vested-interest shills, and then there are those who are simply vested psychologically, or emotionally, in a vendor or product.
We need to be careful before we start to map out huge conspiracies involving members of the community.

This is very true. Lets not let the Yifu delays turn everyone in here against each other. We all want the same thing in the end,,our chips, and Im sure Th and all the others want that as well. They all have out of pocket money invested as well.
3531  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Off-Topic on: August 11, 2013, 03:12:25 PM
As far as selling my pre-order I think I am just going to file with my credit card company, because this is obviously a breech of contract on both Avalon, and although possibly unintentionally, TerraHash as well. We should all have our orders come Aug. 15th

I think we need to push Terrahash to go for a refund on the chips as Bicknellksi is trying to organize with all the group buys.
...

You wont be able to push TH into refund.  I got my paypal refund long ago when they didn't meet deadlines they would post, they never even worked within paypal to resolve it.

If you get it through route your talking it will be credit card getting cash back, TH will in no way help if past is indicator. 

I think my credit card takes care of all that.

TerraHash needs to push Avalon into a refund. What don't you people get? Contracts were broken - all obligations for payment on our part and TH and group buys is void. Avalon owes us our money back. We all should have out Klondikes by now (well, by the 15th). Its time, actually past time to get the Avalon refund in process. 


It should really concern you all that TH is not even trying to put pressure on Avalon.

I don't want my money back. I want my boards. Everyone is trying to put pressure on Bitsyncom (Avalon): Terrahash, Steamboat (Liquid Designs), Bitmine, and all others. What makes you think they aren't? The DIY companies did not pay for the chips with credit cards. Payments for the chips were made in BTC. The only recourse they would have is to bring some kind of lawsuit, which would take a year or more to come to fruition. Our orders are a little late. Once again, it's nowhere near what those of us with BFL orders have been put through. A couple of weeks....  Personally, I just want my boards.
Agreed for now. I will be amazed to see if any of the others KNC etc actually deliver on time as well,,,we all know none of them ever have. Goes with the territory I guess

Anybody know why Shenzhen Goldtech Electronics Co. can supply 100,000 Avalon chips per month?

Lets form a group buy and see if they deliver Smiley j/k -----of course they are in China

Yifu should give 10,000 FREE 55nm chips to all the DIY designers. BKKCoins, Alten and Burnin. That might have the right positive message to the community. Sickening to see what has happened to such great projects. Here is hoping Avalon actually becomes proactive and supports the DIY builders in the right way.
+1

Most Avalon orders are generated by the work of these people!

I wonder how much was generated by them? That is a really good question. There is certainly a great amount of power in the DIY community. Maybe other chip manufacturers will figure that out and support these sorts of efforts in future but sad to say that I bet quite a few people are going to rethink the whole idea given the result of this.

Hope all this doesn't get you down BKKCoins... really great work so far and if miracles do happen the chips will arrive soon.
Thats right! Miracles do happen, I am both hoping and praying for a miracle  Wink Mining is part of my livelihood.

But so much credit goes to BKK, I love the Klondike concept. I think we will see the chips and when we do, we just need to dust ourselves off and get back at it again. Smiley
3536  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Incoming Avalon News 8/9/2013 on: August 10, 2013, 08:36:34 PM

I guess you two ordered like 2 chips together? 1 x K1 for each of you?
I can not believe that someone with larger ammount of chips stolen would make such comments.

pajak666 has been sending me PMs.  He seems very unhappy with my posting content.  This post may not make him happier.

I won't reveal a PM; however I point out that my avatar is my real image, and my nick is clearly related to my real life identity.  I stand behind what I post.

I also spent about 10-15 years being very angry, and the justification for that anger was strong.  But anger only eats up the angry person from the inside.  I have been cheated, I have been slandered, I have been shot; anger kept me tied in the past, to events that were a permanent part of my history and which I could not change.  I have chosen that I will go forward in a productive way.  I will make my decisions on what is, and not what I believe should have been.

I have made a real life decision that no amount of angst about bitcoins will match:  I had the death penalty decision in a Texas court about the man who shot us in my lap.  From that perspective, many postings here are temper tantrums from whiny children who need to grow up.

I originally thought I could make perhaps $16,000 / month with each Batch #2 Avalon delivered in March.  That money would have been very helpful in my life.  I am personally in touch with the reality and the implications of shipping delays.

I have a few questions for pajak666.
1.  How much do you have at risk?
2.  How much did you project that you would make in the next year from item #1?
3.  What action, that is possible today, will satisfy you?

If you cannot be satisfied, then you are the troll.  If you can be satisfied, then articulate what you want.  Keep in mind that it will not seem feasible to receive chips tomorrow, nor to receive a refund yesterday. 

Also, with no regard whatsoever as to whether you believe Yufi, it will work best for you to read his words exactly and to construct your responses as if they are literally true.  If they are true, then you are ahead of the game.  If they are not true, you will maneuver him into a corner.  In time, more facts will emerge;  I plan not to look the fool when they do.

If his words are true and you spread FUD, you, and not he, are the bad actor.

As someone who has been shot and watched a daughter die, I have a very hard line on postings that advocate violence.  They are across the line.  No amount of hand waving that they are a joke or you were angry, or thoughtless, or drunk, or that you apologize will repair their cumulative damage.  They are simply wrong.

With no regard whatsoever to the idea that I have been harmed to the level of $16,000 or $30,000 by shipping delays, it harms the future value of my bitcoins for the community to act like jerks.  If bitcoins are a niche thing that only angry anarchist use, they are wortheless, and if our community postings make us seem that way, we jeopardize the adoption in real commerce and it would not matter whether you can mine today or not. 

Quit peeing in the pool.




Hey I'm with ya brother, Like you, I have been around the block many times many ways..one thing I have learned is: there is always one in every crowd, I think we have identified that one.
Yes I also have money on the line here with the avalons..no chips no earnings yet Sad
3537  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Off-Topic on: August 10, 2013, 08:21:14 PM
The Reality of the Situation is that Terrahash promised delivery two weeks after the chips arrived based on order queue.

They made assumptions (Just like all the group buys and every that placed an order with Terrahash) that Avalon chips would arrive much sooner than now, but that is what happens when you place a "Bet". Sometimes you lose.

Terrahash made no policy that if Avalon is late then they will refund you your money. Do you think any of the group buys for chips are refunding as well? Customers made a bet on Avalon delivering and they want to blame everyone else besides yourself for that.

It's time to wake up and take responsibility for your purchase. Either mine with it, sell it, or use it as a reminder of why you shouldn't spend more money than you can afford to lose.

At some point you will realize that while you may believe you are helping Terrahash, you simply draw out past arguments, that we should be over already. Once again, you are incorrect about refunds. Terrahash actually posted about refunds AFTER the pre-order date here and alluded to the fact that they were going to be honored.

I only point this out, as you claim so often that you speak from logic and fact, and are once again wrong. Can we get past this refund deal? Those that want to do chargebacks are completely in their right to do so.


So, will preorders on Tuesday be part of the already ordered chips or not? If I login on Tuesday at 9AM and order say a DX Large (with you providing the chips). Is going to ship at the end of July/early August or 8 weeks later after you order more chips? This is really important if anyone here is going to take your Tuesday preorder seriously.

Will you let people know if they made the cut or not before they order? Or, are you taking a sort it out later approach?

As I mentioned before, we would be investing the pre-order money to buy more chips to meet our estimated requirement. So we would not be limiting the orders to the number of chips we have. Also, since some people will be paying with Wire (which takes up to 3 days), we will have no way to know which all orders have been paid for until then. However, within a week, we will email you the estimated delivery date. You can then choose to keep the order or ask for a refund.
I feel Terrahash, had they recieved the chips based on the the only time they had to go on ( receive late july ), that they would be able to start delivering our boards in mid august, maybe late august, that has been my belief until now, with the "chips lost in space" event. But I do feel they will be found again and I will wait till the end of next week to see if they are. for now Smiley If not, I am going to call my bank and see what my CC policy offers on undelivered purchases..

No, you were wrong, no need to explain again. And for your even stupider responses, you get ignored, congratulations!

Actually, you're even wronger: BTC value going up will attract new miners, especially if it means it can cover electricity bills that are paid in fiat. Thus higher difficulty.
Iits attracting new miners every day!! Im not going to try to explain in this thread economics (which i was about to)... point less, but it seems you all have your panties in a wad over yifu, for an intellegent discussion,,ttyl  have a nice day
