There is certainly 0 motivation on his part to do more than what is absolutely necessary at this point. We basically had to drag refunds for chips out of him and still we were ripped off basically he sold the chips back door and used our funds to pay for it
Well the whole delayed shipping thing from the beginning was a BS ploy to "maintain" early investor ROI but its hard to say how much Yifu actually controlled that. But hey it kept GPU people in the game a bit longer, and history is history!
I just think he lost control of what was really happening in China. Anyone with an earlier batch order knew right away the chip "ship" schedule was much too aggressive based on Avalons earlier deliveries.
I dunno, something like the half-price mini's was just an shot in the dark if Yifu is still out there listening! A better idea would be a 50% refund on Batch3 but I think giving us 3BTC off of hardware is a more realistic thing to ask for rather than 37-50BTC refunds!
I haven't ran the numbers recently, but B3 is definitely a loss and anything to help that situation out of course is much appreciated. And since tickets always get ignored this forum seems to be the only mechanism for such a request.
