[rammy2k2]

I received my tracking number with the shipment of my order, but I have to make an urgent appeal to BitSyncom.
Please, I want to change the shipping address before they go to collect your package, now is going to stay in China and it is important not to get to the custom office, please BitSyncom see the new shipping address that I have in my account or listen to my PM thanks.

[Micky25]

What if all the chips were stolen by organized criminals.

or even worse: by UNorganized criminals

this.  As long as you can prove old address & show ID I can't see an issue with doing this.

Yifu promised me to clear my ticket before shipping the chips. So you might create a ticket with chip batches chosen. I really hope he holds his promise. I have a similar problem. He changed my shipping address but not the billing address and phone. Which is important.

Nothing, it was not possible to change the shipping address according seems to "security reasons", so I will try to talk with DHL before leaving China.

Yes, call DHL and tell them to change the order.  Don't give out your DHL tracking code to anyone, btw

Maybe because the chips are so high value items ($78K USD), he wants to oversee the shipment personally.

He was at the Inside Bitcoins conference in NYC, so maybe that held up the shipments/updates.

We can always hope.

Not to jump in anyones shit but if you have millions of USD worth of late orders..skip the conference. FFS.

[fasmax]

Maybe they have been recruited by the NSA and can't talk.

Surprised Josh showed up at the conference.  Thought someone might throw a creme pie, tomotoes, or obscenities at him at some point, but he just stood there in his white shirt with a stoic look on his face as if nothing happened.  

Hope these chips will ship soon, otherwise Yifu might get a markedly different reception from the community at the next conference.

Or an appropriately sized brick

True, folks showed a lot of restraint and patience.

Avalon shipped lots of chips to China, and those one who got the chips are resell the chips at rediculours high price. as the seller claim, he had very close relationship with Ngzhang personally, so he can "handle" some chip and supply it. He also claimed that the chips can only be produced 8k a day as the testing equipment have some problem. What an absurd excuse!

[shmadz]

Tomorrow will make 15 weeks since I made ​​my payment.

It's strange how $75k order does not even get you a phone number and personal account manager on Avalon's side, isn't it...

I think what's going on right now is that they have realized that they will be unable to maintain their "leader" position in ASIC development and they are trying to milk the network as much as they can delaying the shipments knowing that they will effectively decrease their network share.

And I for one hope that K&C and bitfury devices start shipping on time so then both Avalon and BFL will never ever get another customer.

Question?   How would they "milk" the network by not delivering chips that have already been paid for?

Answer? (more of a guess actually, a thought experiment of supposition)

Let's suppose that Avalon did indeed invest in their new SMT line to speed the assembly of mining devices. Why then, with all that added production capacity would you decide to cease selling units? Perhaps by charging a well-deserved markup on the chips they designed, they are able to order 2 or 3 times as many chips as the customers are paying for. This would allow them to keep a great number of chips and use their fancy new SMT line to manufacture a whole lot of ASIC miners for themselves...

It's all just supposition, but that is one way that they could "milk" the network by delaying delivery... just sayin'
