Just sent an email, let's see if I get a repy.

If is there anyone who live in cluj please call steve and get some info about firmware!

I got a reply from Steve. I asked about refunds of boards and gave an estimate of how much he will be able to refund. I won't go into specifics as it's not my place to. I'm fairly certain (short of travelling and seeing him) that Steve is working hard to salvage what he can from the situation. He also seems likely to plough on with future projects.

My guess, everything is still up in the air concerning lots of things though.

To all those still waiting on refunds, all I can advise is to provide your information via the email on the website. I don't yet believe that anyone will be out of pocket in terms of chips at this point.

There is an email address on the site, which I used. I believe I used the website form at some point too. After that I was contacted by Steve on a separate email address, I guess his personal one. I've also been in touch through the forum messaging system over the months of this debacle.

I've now asked for a refund on the chips.

What happens if t13hydra doesn't come though? Does john K refund to me?

Sorry, the escrow was broken when steve started taking website orders and also when the group buys were combined.
No one knows but steve who owns what chips from the website orders.

John done his bit when he released the funds to zerif. As best I can tell Zerif then refunded part of the coin back to Steve`s private address not john k's group buy address, the rest of the coin Steve used for his own chips.

Unfortunately the coin Steve used on his chip purchase from zerif was batch 2's not his.
This is why he disappeared for 2 weeks. Because his coin was in batch 1 and batch 2 was refunded first !

He needed to wait for the batch 1 refund to cover the coin he borrowed from batch 2 for his chips.

Tin foil hat removed, carry on.

[DobZombie]

So the escrow was bullshit?

FFS...

So he used our (B2) money to fund his own stuff, great! Batch 1 did get refunded, did not?

Yeh, batch 1 was refunded by John. Which gave him back the coin to refund batch 2.

I can actually see how this happened, he assumed batch 1 would refund first, so it should have been cool.

Would of been nice if he had come clean instead of going Awol for 2 weeks.

[southerngentuk]

For those that purchased boards through the website.

Lets not forget Steve received about 800 chips from Zefir, enough for 50 boards..

Just sayin thats all. Am sure he will be refunding those 50 boards shortly..

[OracionSeis]

Regarding batch 1, I havn't had my refund yet.

[southerngentuk]

Are you on the batch 1 list on the first page ?

How many chips?
John dealt with batch 1 however mistakes can be made. Your the first B1 I have heard that has not received refund.
