He is on paper but he's not responded to the teams emails in months and months. As I said, the only people left (and running this company now) are the engineers, with little money. Yifu ran off to to work with the government about anonymity and took the millions with him.
He is the founder but he isn't the only owner.
From my experience, I also believe that Yifu is no longer an active member of the Avalon project. The communication(s) and way the project has been moving forward is much more in the manner that ngzhang ran his FPGA project than how Yifu ran the Avalon project in the early days.

The real question is if they can match/beat bitmain on price, guess we'll find out in a few hours!
I wonder if it's just chip orders initially or if they plan to sell Avalon gen2 style rack based miners as well, they seemed interesting but the price was a bit to high when they launched them.

Being MIA is almost as bad as being active. Being an owner, he could show up and any time and really mess things up. As long as he is still associated with this project in any way (and he is by still being an owner), I strongly recommend avoiding them at all costs. There are other, respectable, mining companies out there.

I plan on supporting them with an order. We need more hardware options that are not preorder.

Although Avalon might of played it right by you, it's not very hard to see why others would not be as happy with them.
Not saying we should be happy with them, just that they are far from being the worst company out there but still they seem to have some of the most rabid haters around, they even rival BFL on that front ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I just wanted to get my point across that when it comes to buying from their in stock items there isn't really much risk from my experience since they have a good track record on that side of their business that gets drowned in all the old "pre-order hate" noise. Ok, I get what you're saying. Avalon has moved to an in stock only model now, and Yifu isn't a part of the team any more. The people who are left are the engineers who made the magic happen back in 2013 and do NOT have money. Yifu walked away with it, yet the engineers trying to run a real business get the flak from his actions.
I'm not so sure about that, I think that was done just to save face. Yifu owns BitSyncom, LLC. At the bottom of Avalon-asics.com (after being updated numerous times since Yifu's supposed dismissal is a copyright notice: Copyright © 2012 - 2014 Avalon Project, BitSyncom LLCCopyrighted for BitSyncom LLC through the year 2014. The year was updated to 2014. If BitSyncom is truly not involved with the project anymore then why is his company still listed in the Copyright? If he had truly left and it was under different hands I would expect it to read: Copyright © 2012 - 2014 Avalon Project, Some other company hereor Copyright © 2012 - 2013 Avalon Project, BitSyncom LLC Copyright © 2013 - 2014 Avalon Project, Some other company hereAgain, this website has been updated numerous times since Yifu supposedly left the company. He is on paper but he's not responded to the teams emails in months and months. As I said, the only people left (and running this company now) are the engineers, with little money. Yifu ran off to to work with the government about anonymity and took the millions with him. He is the founder but he isn't the only owner. Bla bla BIG money are always taken by comrades. So if that yufu has gone they got another one as replacement. Born in china grown up in USA and free traveling back and forth? This is not allowed for ordinary people if you follow me. Services are involved for sure He was there on purpose he has found nothing except bitcoin blogs back in 2011 That is all. The important for them is to stick to their business model and next day delivery

Both, but I believe this announcement is just for the chip side. The Avalon Avalon2 design is apparently compatible with Avalon3 chips though so it won't be long.

After a quick look at the page source, the countdown timer isn't programmed to do anything once it's over. As far as I can tell, there are no hints to any other content on the site from the front page's source. So, somebody forgot to finish up the web site?
