Now accepting refunds from any and all order dates
Due to delays we are now offering full refund in bitcoin for all the Avalon Generation One orders made on any date, It is advise for people to request refunds due to the delay and raise of bitcoin difficulty.

The update refund form can be found on the main store site, linked here.
Due to phishing attempts and spam, any refund request not made containing the original order email and phone number will be automatically rejected by the system and marked as spam, so please bear this in mind.

Avalon Generation Two Chips 55nm
Those who have invested in time and money on Avalon Generation One based devices and clones can rejoice in the fact we had the foresight to make Avalon Generation Two chips completely backward compatible in every way with 110nm generation one chips, which can be expect to go on sale Late October 2013 for immediate shipping. Avalon will no longer participate in any kind of pre-ordering.

Developers and Hobbyists should keep an close eye on our github account
as we will be releasing the 55nm chip specification and reference design soon!

In light of this I believe we should refund all of the orders. It makes no sense at this point to even try to get a batch.

[hanz]

Well... backwards compatible, but with higher clock rate and/or lower power use?

Delivery October?

I'm in. (Batch 4 and 5.)

Well, that is pretty huge news. It looks like, as you said, with the difficulty rising, we may say refunds outside of chips that were already shipped (last week I think).

I don't think anything has actually shipped yet. They said preparing shipping, but never sent them.

[guitar82]

And no info about shipping of the 400,000 chips they just got...nice

 Why can't I shake this sick feeling in my stomach that the line about 400,000 chips was just another steaming pile of bullshit ?

We did mention in the last email they were already in hand, are being sent out. this email is just to address those people who still wish to get refunds even if their order is "prepare-shipping" which is the 400k+ chips.

Sweet, so refund time and apply our money to the newer chips in october.

There are more than 10000 chips of members that want to keep them still. One batch has to be kept for sure. Im still negotiating with the other groupbuys. Its a bit complicating since not all want a refund but it looks good today. There might be a solution, though i cant promise that yet.

I don't want to wait 2 more months for some imaginary new chips.

Avalon has now kept these 400k chips in hand for a week. Aren't they warm enough or what's the problem not shipping them?

The level of incompetence from Avalon seems to still reach new heights.

Sebastian, could you please tell them we don't want a refund for batch 1, so it can move from "prepare shipping" to *finally shipping* please

Does this mean Batch 6 also? (If so I need to place an order with Burnin or get my hands on 2X 20 chip rigs.)

Thx,

Do you have the can stacking bus cable also?
Would it be fair to give you 80% of the cost? (I'm in Europe and can pay with PayPal or a bank transfer.)
Just have to check with Burnin first and see Sebastian's reply regarding my question.

Thx,

I would wait for the chips arrive at my place and i ship them. I wouldnt risk more funds. I dont have info about batch 6. He is later then our normal batch and zefir didnt write pm for a couple days now. So i dont know if batch 6 changed status.

[GandalfG]

Sebastian, did you know how many chips will arrive ?

Let's hope it's really ship in 12 hours 

[andrewsg]

He only has 1 open order with Avalon, so 10,000 chips - batch 6 was ordered by zefir and the rest were all refunded.

[SebastianJu]

Good News! First there were problems with out sixth batch since the other parttaking groupbuy didnt want to refund his chips. So i negotiated the last days with the other groupbuys of the second closing batch and now both closing batches are refunded. At least the form to yifu was filled and we wait for the bitcoins.

The refund requests that came in until yesterday probably can be refunded perfectly per asked refund chip count. Todays refund requests have to be done another way, maybe there is a buyer. But its unawaited for me that it seems to work so perfectly now. Even when some chips from the closing batches are needed this comes handy for zefir's groupbuy members since he now can refund some chips without having to need a full batch. Maybe he will do it different too. In any case a surprising good solution.

Now we only have to hope yifu is refunding fast and that he ships our last remaining batch. We will get 1015 more chips from zefir. So that we have 11015 chips in total that we will get delivered.

I now will actualise the refund list and post it again. For the refund from yifu we have to wait still of course. It could still go another way if he ships the closing batch before.

Fantastic. GJ Sebastian
Now I wait only for tracking nbr from You

Here the complete refund list again. It looks like the refund requests are matching perfectly. Im glad i didnt make an calculation error. And hopefully there is none hidden: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=187660.msg3066468#msg3066468
