[Avalon ASIC] Batch #2 pre-Sale Thread

[Integ]

I think, Walletbit waits until the rate of btc falls 

[Elokane]

Is there a contact address for Avalon to which I can send the picture of my 0.05 payment?

Real nice...  After "selling out" the text at the top was changed to "Session issue can be fixed if you register an account."   While I made an account and made it to bit pay with a (0.00) asking fee, it choked on the receipt part.  I'm wondering if all of our multiple attempts ate up the qty available queue.

Edit:  Upper text changed to Status: Investigating Issues.

For those of you who completed the orders: How?! How did you even manage to add stuff to the cart?

Had to allow 3rd party cookies, but even then the checkout might not have worked (maybe another 3rd party cookie for that?)

I think I was one of the first who managed to get to wallet bit. I got the incorrect order amount, but had the URL stored in history. Eventually after enough refreshing wallet bit showed the correct amount and I paid it.

I have yet to receive any emails, and I opened a support ticket to be sure my order counts. I'm sure they'll probably release some public info about this at some point though.

I have to say, I'm kinda glad I didn't send any coins as I suspect there are going to be "I paid for someone else's order" issues.

I paid my $3 fee, saw it update and the quantity was incorrect.  

Now sometimes when I load the page it says product in stock, and sometimes it doesn't. Who knows what chaos is going on over there.

Well I have a "pay" page from walletbit with the right total, but my deposit to walletbit disappeared. Lots of confirmations and balance of 0 at walletbit. Address is correct. Nice way to lose $1500.

EDIT: After walletbit's servers recovered the proper amount was reflected in my account.

They can just F-off.  Why do they never learn.  Hardware engineers are not web designers.  Go back to school.

Avalon gets a scammer tag unless they make things right.

I don't see how anything done today was a scam, unless they keep money from people and fail to honor those orders.  Poor customer service, planning and testing? Yes. Scam? No.

[fpgaminer]

I just hope i didnt pay somebody elses order because things were getting mixed up..

Luckily I checked the URL I was being redirected to for walletbit, before paying.  It had the correct shipping info (for me), etc.

Worst case, people can prove they own the addresses that the bitcoins were sent from.

Well, as long as someone paid for mine, I don't care if I paid for someone elses.

Sucess to order and pay after registering to the shop

let see now

[Dalkore]

Avalon - One improvement for note, I would of done a better job explaining how the Walletbit worked.   They do have a guest option but because this cart setup seems to not be bug-free enough, you might have suggested that people make a Walletbit account beforehand and inform them they needed to pre-fund it for checkout.  

I suggest people contact Avalon through support and start a dialogue there.  Makes it easier for them to track issues.

What a cluster though.  

At best they've just received hundreds of orders, duplicate orders, and payments that they can't match to the owner. Should have just put the freakin things up on ebay.
