[CLOSED] Avalon ASIC chip distribution

[JHenderson]

Zefir,

What happened to batch 2? Were those chips all shipped out? Could you give ship dates?

Zefir,

You missed this post (for B2 you need to scroll down), so yes, chips were shipped August 24th and according to tracking were all delivered.

BTW: from those list of 66 processed orders, only ~15% paid their S&H so far. It would be fair, if at least those who got their chips / boards reimburse me those expenses I had as described here.

[eraziel]

Any news on shipping the remaining batches?

[alle.sello]

Any one please vote for refund.
Zefir only in this case can send refund request to Avalon.

[WinterParker]

all gone ehhh???    Do you think Avalon will ship the Gen 2 ASIC chips by October / Late October??

You're joking, right? Right??

At this point trusting anything that ShitSyncom says would be... less than prudent.

Guess I gotta do some digging through hundreds of pages of posts =(

No, noone needs to dig through hundreds pages of post. Just look at the OP, I linked everything relevant from the news section.

Please check how many refunds I processed and how many pending orders are still left. And now assume everyone sends me refund requests via PM, email, Skype or irc, all with different formats (or just 'give me my refund') - how am I supposed to handle this?

Come on folks, I am working my ass off to please everyone and let everyone go without loosing a single Satoshi - is it really that hard to follow a simple and well defined process?

You did everything right imo!

For anyone who wants to refund, I'll post again how to do so (as some people are finding it hard to look for themselves..):

Code:

<forum nick>;<-N>;<-C>;<address>

to zeta.bitcoin.enterprises+AvalonRefunds@gmail.com . Yes, copy everything including that +, some did that wrong (including my mail service)

for example, if I had 100 chips, I would send:

Code:

dani;-10;-8.6;hasjrgh239HISDUASdghasgdhg_or_whatev_my_adress_was_that_I_sent_from

correct me if I'm wrong or look it up yourself, this is easy.

Zefir,

Given the excellent service you have provided, I'm more than happy to tip you the S&H you would have provided for my chips. I think that if most people do that, it would probably help cover the extra workload you have had to undertake for the refunds process.

Please let me know which address I should send it to (S&H address? Other address?).

Hi,

thanks, but no tips. Having a deal that turns out to be unprofitable was my business risk.

But S&H are expenses I made, and it would be fair if everyone who received chips would just pay what was agreed. I even offered to give that out as donation for those short on coins, one only needs to post here that he wishes to take S&H as donation. That's meant to distinguish those who really are currently having bad times from those who try to free-ride.

So far, no one asked for a donation. And 12/66 orders were with paid S&H.

Sorry it took so long Zefir, just sent in shipping fees. Thanks for the hard work!

[SebastianJu]

Were there shipping costs for burnin as target? I did forgot about this point already...

[roy7]

I'm a batch 3 person and just waiting it out. S&H shouldn't be paid in advance right? I will certainly pay whatever I'm supposed to for S&H once needed. Thanks.

That's correct. Please pay S&H only for the orders already delivered.

[cchan]

Zefir is doing great work.
Really appreciate.

[Rodyland]

I already paid S&H for my batch 3 chips.  Hopeless optimist, I know.  I presume that will be refunded with my chip refund?

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I will send you S&H once it does. I did get notification that it is in my state, finally. Took a couple weeks to get through customs.

Just an FYI, maybe there are others in the same boat as me, not actually having their chips in-hand yet.

[ZephramC]

If only we knew the probablity that (and when! and if ever) Avalon will send chips for another batches...
I am batch 7 and I decided to wait. (I still want assembled ASIC miner at burnin even if it will very probably be below ROI.)
But what will happen if Avalon do not deliver at all? (And it will refund zefir.) Will in that case there still be space for refunds from zefir in the future?

[pazor]

my situation:

2 paid orders for bitburner XX at burnin
40 paid avalon chips at batch 5 and 8

and now...

no avalon chips
and no bitburner XX

what is avalon do not deliver chips ? how long should we wait for the 1st gen chips ?
what if burnin dicides to set a time limit for the order excecution and no chips are delivered ?

i vote for a compensation from avalon.
i accept avalon chip 2nd generation if them are 100% compatible to 1st generation chips !

it is time for avalon to move on !
quickly !

Update: Remaining Batches ship within 12h

I was notified today that the remaining 3 batches will ship within 12h, which essentially means they left Avalon HQ and are in the hands of logistic services.

Since the refund queue only reached ~2500 chips by now, I was not able to request another batch refund - now it is not possible any more. Pending refunds can therefore not be served, please do not request for further refunds.

Not sure if you are happy or disappointed by this update, but nevertheless: please double check and ensure that you have entered and locked your shipping destination for the remaining orders. If you did not, your chips will be kept back and you waste precious time of maximum potential mining income.
