Thanks. Ill repost this in german thread... we arent hit so bad like others yet but nonetheless the difficulty beats us the same. I didnt foresee that the diff will rise so fast and im very sure no one other did.
I think the one that ordered KNC and any other preorder that will ship even later will have a way harder time then we will have.

You are welcome
I anticipated it's going to be 4 times worse by the time I got my miners, and now its 2.37 already and no chips in sight

We are closing to a point after which chips will not be able to ROI. If I remember right if they start hashing after second week of September they are not worth in BTC what will be invested in them + assembly. That means whoever gets them in the next 10 days is lucky.

I wonder what would be better news - a) Avalon started to ship batches or b) Avalon started to do refunds on chips. Now it depends if you already payed for assembly or not.

I have 144 chips for sale from batch #2 (my project was cancelled):

Thanks.

I'm looking to sell 40 chips, 20 from batch #4, 20 from batch #6.

Ready to let these go after a considerable price drop!

At this point a refund might save them some face. Then we can start the lawsuit and "they" get to pay for it...

Hi, I am selling 200 chips from batch #3 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=277599.0

[SebastianJu]

I did only pay for my chips i had with zefir till now since i thought burnin has good enough assembly capacities and its safer to pay when everything seems to work because its open if refunds are flowing.

Regarding refund... we have 5.6 batches in total. So in theory we could ask for refund of some and keep some batches for those that want to keep them. But i doubt that Yifu will refund. He will claim that he had to order the batches and so on. And our fifth and sixth batch is not even due. And those would most probably the batches we would like to refund.
Saying that i tend to believe that Yifu would claim that point. Its not due yet. The profitability is a problem not only caused by Yifu in our case since we all werent imagining the difficulty rising so much.

Im not sure if we can do anything at all besides waiting. But im open to suggestions.

I think a partial refund while shipping the ordered chips would be the best outcome for everyone.
What do you think how much their mark up is on the chips?
They charged us ~ $10 a chip, while cost to manufacture them is probably around $1 per chip.
They could cover the costs for manufacturing and handling, and even keep some profit (lets say 10%), and refunds the rest. They would not be in minus and group buys would have more than inadequate chips for the upcoming difficulty raises.,

Sounds good to me, but i don't think this will happen

I doubt that he pays too. I mean all the screaming and hate against avalon, threats of sueing and so on... Yifu most probably will think its lost anyway. He wont get back his reputation. While he still will find customers when he have chips in stock.
So he wont have much reason to refund partly. But maybe he surprises us?

I think you guys saw this? At least there is some hope from the criminals.

story so far - 8/19

chips have arrived via other routes as previously announced, we are shipping them out at the rate of 40-50k on a daily basis at the moment, in addition to the ~150k or so that went out, another 40k was shipped today. There is multiple channel which the chips are arriving from various packaging facility to minimize downtime. Please bare this in mind: while we had backup/multiple packaging companies and various delivery routes, things still will go wrong. There is also testing that must be done, then they can split, packed and sent to the EZP coupled with their CN-22 and be on their way. We will provide more update as they come. In addition, the trade-in and refunds are being processed.

If this is true, many folks on this forum should start receiving chips in the next week or two.

At this point it may be hard to believe anything Avalon puts out.. but lets see.. maybe things are moving! =D

[SebastianJu]

Trade ins and refunds are processed too? Maybe i get my refund for batch 3 miner then now after so many weeks...

Don't hold your hopes too high.
