you probably "bought" a preorder, so you'll be getting it whenever BFL starts to ship (hint: not anytime soon)

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

You are being scammed, please trust me. Noone in this earth is gonna sell an avalon preorder for 20BTC.

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

BFL???

The OP was about Avalon.

And OP - you cannot get an Avalon for 20 BTC (the going price is well over 100 BTC now) so I think unfortunately you might have lost your BTC (although I hope not and if you haven't sent any then *don't*).

With CIYAM anyone can create 100% generated C++ web applications in literally minutes.

If you choose to use escrow then I would recommend John K member of this forum - but understand that even batch #1 Avalon was not 20 BTC so it would really make very little sense for someone to auction off an Avalon legit for 20 BTC.

anyone notice the price was "20.003"? (note the number of digits after the dot) it looks like european notation for 20,000 BTC
