We would have to see some GH/watt numbers, BUT the competition has 'about to ship' complete* systems that are 28nm. They claim 400GH@850watts - also the kicker ~ under $5k USD
IMO 55nm is dead before it ships.
We're still pretty far from watts/GH/s being a deciding factor. I'm more interested in how much faster Avalon's gen 2 actually is. If it's on par with other designs, I'd expect around 1GH/s per chip. That's about triple the current generation, and actually makes ROI possible. Anyway, I requested a refund for my order (>4000 chips). If everyone does the same, it gives Steamboat some bargaining power. 10,000*6 is a lot of chips...

^ Would love to see this a good bargain go through.
For now, I am still in. Best case scenario is if Avalon ran out of 110 nm chips and replaces these orders with the 55nm chips. How happy would that make everyone here? I know I would be pleased. I could forgive Yifu then.
I know that SB is working hard making the best of a tight situation.

I'm just patiently waiting for SB, I can't really make any decisions until that happens. What should have been late July is now looking at late Sept. thanks to Yifu. At this point can Avalon be trusted for anything? The 55nm chips announcement sounds fishy... I'm not convinced that the chips will be perfectly compatible at the pin level. Delays are to be expected, but we're looking at 2 months later than his "no bullshit" terms and it couldn't have come at a worse time. October delivery for 55nm? I wouldn't count on it.
If SB thinks we move to 55nm, so be it. I trust him, but I don't trust Avalon anymore.

+1 No refund for me.UNLESS there is no alternative I'm not sure I want 55nm Avalon....I sure wouldn't put more money/BTC into Y I FU's coffers....BUT,if that is the only alternative to save this GB,then I'll go along for the ride. Otherwise Y I FU can stick it

I'd like to see my refund now? i mean, he can ask for whatever compensation he wants. but he should at least start posting the refunds to bitsyncom and send those back to the ones who asked for it. Should he / we get more compensation after, fine and dandy. I just dont want to sit and wait for a refund based on steamboat asking for compensation? (ask for much , get little, or worst case, we get the chips delivered that should have gotten refunded).
No reason to wait. Refund orders to yifu, process our refunds asap. (chip orders). 0902 we got word on refund. Forms were sent out and people have surely posted their details by now. its again 8 days of no communication. (what if BTC/USD drops 90% over night.. i'd rather get them now than later)..

Steamboat registered his company in Florida and his personal info are not secret. I'am wondering is anybody willing to visit or phone him. Lack of comunication is distrurbing and he mix chip GB with assambly service. I, as others, have paid upfront and put a trust in his hands. Steamboat, dont let us down, please, be profesional and have some customer service! You always welcomed amd answered our question regarding trust issues. Put yourself in our position and post more frequent.

I think SB has earned our patience. Bitsyncom not so much. I'm about as convinced by their gen 2s as I am about a monarch. That may be generous though.
Steamboat: I have messaged you with my refund request as I am unable to sign any sending addresses right now being out of my home country for another week.

I think most people who have an internet connection can locate information about steamboat at this point, but no need to start throwing out the possibilities of calling or visiting him... really do not want his next update to be "I have flown to NY to hide with Yifu because people showed up at my door and now the mafia is after me". He should already be aware that people know how to find him, unless he has assumed a complete false identity... in which case, we're all screwed

So I am wondering if somebody can do the same (I did not meant to go at his house perents,lol)? Why to hide, he has do nothing wrong but he own a business where we purchased services. Also he speak in very official manner in third person. Somebody here, hero member can make an appointmant and make a visit. There is nothing wrong in that and I think a lot of people would be less fustrated. He logs each and every day and does not post. Why? He does not care about any of our concerns, our questions regarding klondike specs, refund option and future? I just dont see why that is so hard? Even yifu talk to and answer "some" questions. If we are screwed then we should start to know, and time is to know! Just my 2c

He probably doesn't post because he's depressed about the situation. Or maybe he's working out a secret deal and can't tell us about it until it's finalized.

He could still say exactly that... "still nothing guys, waiting for Yifu to respond, blah blah blah"... just level with us for F%@! sakes, talk to us like human beings and not customers. It is irritating that he was posting so much, answering questions, etc. when collecting money. We were still customers then, and still customers now. Now that things are getting rough we are getting the cold shoulder. Its getting a little aggravating.

Hes allowing too much freedom and I'am afraid it won't change. And what to expect in the future?

Haha look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152135.msg1887405#msg1887405Look at this exerpt: April 8th, gmail, Steamboat: Adam,
I have not received any word from you regarding your loan. If I do not hear back from you today your loan will be considered in default.
Regards,
Steamboat
April 15th, gmail, Steamboat: Adam,
I have marked you as a scammer on bitcointalk.org and released your information.
April 15th, gmail, Adam: OK
April 15th, gmail, Adam: So my license and everything is online?
April 15th, gmail, Steamboat: I have withheld the information you provided for the time being. If you continue to ignore your responsibilities I will release that as well.
April 16th, gmail, Steamboat: Adam,
You have until Wednesday, April 17th to honor your loan. If you do not respond by then I will be forced to release your information.
Regards,
Steamboat
Sent from my iPhone
April 16th, gmail, Adam: I can't pay you by then. I know for sure.
Sent from my iPad
April 16th, gmail, Steamboat: Very well. This is obviously not a priority for you. Due to your continued disregard of your responsibilities, lying about paying the loan, and purchase of coins not used to repay your loan, I will be releasing your information and all correspondence shortly. Any persons/companies I believe should know about your default will also be contacted.
Edit: typo
Maybe we should put a similar ultimatum on steamboat, due to "this obviously not being a priority for him, and due to continued disregard of his responsibilities. Lol this is rich. Edit// Also, steamboat, I'd like to get my loan back from you now.
