You are joking right? No Are you in the US? Buy a "log book" or use your "DayTimer" Call the bank today. Ask "What workout options do I have?" and use that exact wording. Be sure to write down their answer then and there, and read your list back to them. It is completely ok if this takes a lot of time. You are engaged against a room full of attorneys and you want to do your part carefully. Ask if there is a "mortgage modification option." Ask if there is a "short sale option." Nose around on your bank's web pages. Use Google. See if there is a packet of forms for you to download and use. Begin writing a hardship letter that documents "why" you are in this situation? Act of God? Vandals? Health change? Employment change? If you qualify for a mortgage modification, I think the first option the bank will attempt is to lower the interest rate, down to as little as 2%, in order to make your mortgage payment less that 0.31 of your income. Don't lie about anything. They take careful notes also. |
I try to be respectful and informed.

If your in that rough shape (sorry to hear) have you considered auction of your unit? Especially with b2 shipping now I'm sure you'd get some takers, and imagine somewhere around the 180% mark. |

Also sorry to hear (seriously) but there is a lesson here for everyone reading about investing money you can't afford to lose (or do without for several months).
Hope you make it through this though.

I auctioned off shares for the future output of my unit, 1 share = 1%. If I did it today, I would make 1 share = 0.25% to let more little guys buy in. (400 shares for the entire unit) I have refined the auction rules a little based on my auction, and posted them on Google Docs. Please feel free to use these rules as they are, or to modify them. If you do modify them, I would appreciate a link to your version. This might let you raise some cash while waiting for your unit to arrive. |

AVALON is about 1 month late give or take. I chose not to buy a house and rent to get a B2 and a B3 with 4 modules. I REALLY HOPE THIS WORKS OUT. Been quite a waiting game but I am still hopeful. |

I sold my eldest child. She can only vacuum and do dishes at a slow rate. I figure my Batch 3 Avalon is a better investment and will have a much better ROI than any kid.
Still considering selling my kid #2 and kid #3.
Bowjob - consider taking a loan from one of the forum members. I'm sure some members would be happy to make a deal where they take repayment in BTC (which you should be getting shortly from your Batch 2 Avalon)

hopefully this works out for everyone. I.e. they receive their unit. Otherwise, maybe some casualties. I invested in gold, silver and Avalon's. Hopefully the last one pans out.

Avalanche is a must own

How it was declared in invoice and what's the value of unit in USD? |

I think that noone here said it was a bs... If you need money fast your best option is to sell shares of the Avalon and cash out (maybe 100-125btc). If you wait until it arrives, you can sell it for 150-200, I guess.
I personally have no faith in the roi of these units, I'm not sure about anything anymore... I can only hope that when Avalon decided to delay to mine themselves they somewhat knew what would happen to the difficulty, I hope that they have some model, that they have insider info from bfl/helveticminer/100th and that somehow in that model the roi of these units is positive. This is my only hope.

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers |

What evidence do you have that they mined with these machines? |

What evidence do you have that they mined with these machines? There is no evidence other than circumstantial evidence. I actually think Kano summed that up pretty well after he was repeatedly asked to back up his accusations. I think someone receiving a unit (you know the ones that were conveniently shipped just before Yifu went to the Bitcoin conference) that was full of dust is VERY troubling. Dust blowing in would only be around the fan holes, not spread through a machine and he also showed that is arrived tightly wrapped in plastic (so it did not sneak in while it was in the box). That FPGAminer says two of his units (the black ones) are clean and only one is dusty (the aluminum one) is a bit of a relief but only time will tell. It would have been helpful if Avalon actually updated people when they knew that their last updated statement was going to be false. |

Did you read the thread and look at the pictures of the unit that was delivered to the member that is in the Batch ONE thread? That is obviously used. If it was used, it could only happen one of two places. At the freight forwarder's or at the factory. Thinking that "DHL" did it defies reason. Open communication fixes problems when things go wrong. We do not have that. We have the opposite. |
