Topic: Address with Avalon bulk chip payments now tops $8 million... - page 3. (Read 18157 times)

You are smart to ignore all the drama in this thread, and only comment on the good news.

I dance with Joy.

The squeaky wheel gets oiled -- so Yifu, why ship the Feb 18th orders before the botched WalletBit Feb 2nd orders? After you've gotten your sleep and had your coffee, can you comment on why the 75 BTC orders from Feb 2nd are basically MIA, with no information or even inkling of having been received/processed by your company? That is A LOT of money for anyone, I think... although now you must think "Psh whats ten grand? Why would I bother to answer an email GEEZ. Can't you see I am trying to sleep?" Well that's great for you and I understand, but this attitude does not reflect well to any of us.

What I don't get is the lack of reading comprehension of these forums. Please quote anything I've said that implies I am "crazy upset".

Again, please quote where I am bitterly complaining and whining. What's the harm in speculating when there is almost no official information? You don't find it interesting that there are $8 million coins sitting untouched that perfectly match bulk chip orders? If not then move along and let those of us who are interested ponder what's going on instead of adding more worthless noise to this thread.

Once again, what anger are you talking about? Yes I counted on delays but when I get an email saying shipping has started and 7 weeks pass I'm sorry but I'm going to be curious about what happened. HOW CRAZY OF ME! I still have dreams of ordering custom chips and am watching to see what happens but nothing is happening. FUCK ME for asking questions right? SMH

I do somewhat agree with you, but consider that a support person must know A LOT of details about your company or the work flow. Maybe he doesn't want to do that because there are things he doesn't want to talk with anyone. Imagine what would happen if the support was a spy or maybe all orders details would be available on the internet. As a student (as i understood that he is...or someone with his young age) who would you trust with your multimillion $ business inside info?




How about sourcing yourself some ASICMiner chips? Think you can do it?

So you dont understand when, for example zefir paid a full batch of 782.1BTC, there didnt happen a confirmation of payment because freshly mined coins were included and at the end the order and the bitcoins are gone. No chance to contact avalon. You can do what you want you wont get an answer. And zefir tried everything. I myself mentioned him in my contact tries too often. Nothing happened. No empathy for zefir?
Or iam. If i would spend my own bitcoins ok, but i have the burden to have responsibility for other peoples money. Its a high pressure on the shoulders when you think a batch felt over. Its finally solved now but still there are questions regarding the chips that should be answered before they arrive at customs and before i get them because i have to buy the needed packaging for shipment and so on.
Fine... no support for the chips was stated... but i have read it of course that they wont answer things like "my miner doesnt work, can you help me" and such things. But no contact at all? Thats not what i awaited.
What i wonder the most... avalon most probably has massive money now. Whats the problem that keeps them from hiring a support person?

Hey, in the nearby college town, most of the EE's it seems work at Gamestop.

Other than the discounts, do you know what it gives those kids?

A sense of the Free Market.
A sense of responsibility toward the people that are paying their bills.

Yifu, instead of being annoyed at being awakened to answer to your self-made FUD, consider the people that have placed monies into your wallet.
Some of these people have jammed an awful lot into that pocket.

You need a spokesperson, if you would rather not deal with the public yourself.

PM me, I will send you my resume for consideration of that part time position.
:-)

I do admire Yifu, I really do, but if you think Bitsyncom and he are not profiting massively from this venture especially at the mark-up he's selling ASIC's for considering non-recurring engineering costs are already covered, you sir, are nuts!

One of the things I find interesting is that Yifu has very clearly stated that he's not trying to get rich with these chips.  He's passionate about bitcoin and believes in it as a viable alternative to traditional global banking.  Making these chips is an attempt to decentralize the network.  He's said specifically that none of the Avon employees (of which I've only heard about two) are even mining.  Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but I don't think he's as interested in garnering your business or putting your mind at ease as he is at getting chips out to developers so there is more competition in the market.

I think it may be a little bit of a stretch to ask him to accommodate customers like he was trying to garner business.  Instead, expect that he's hard at work, and keep an eye out for new news.

Thanks for the quick update, much appreciated.

1. I'm sure you are extremely busy but IMO your customers who have collectively invested $millions in your bulk chips shouldn't have to dig up a 25 minute video for information on when they can expect their sample chips that I believe are now over 3 weeks late with no contact from Bitsyncom. A quick e-mail to your customers will go a LONG way in easing their concerns and reducing the conjecture/paranoia found on the forums.
2. Awesome, can't wait.
3. I personally have no glitched orders/tickets but I am curious why you have not hired a customer service rep or 2 to deal with us annoying customers. It seems pretty normal for people to worry when they get no response from a company's support system so I can't blame them. Even just a canned reply "We are looking into your issue!" goes a long way.
4. I know this sentiment is common but you have to realize that we have to come here because there is simply no official info about the delay and this is one of the few places people share what little info can be found. Some people have a LOT of money riding on you with very little information available. When I got the update that batch #2 was starting to ship in April I relaxed, hugged my mom, threw the ball with my kids etc etc. After a month passed with no tracking # or update I decided to check back here only to learn there wasn't much progress so far with batch #2 and the sample chips. Now that another three weeks have passed without any update, surly you can understand why a lot of us are curious about what is going on. Your update above is the first I've heard that you are having production issues that are not currently solved and the irony is I learned this on these forums, not from an official Bitsyncom update so you are training us to come to this cesspool of a forum . I'm telling you man just a quick update to your customers will go a loooooooong way. I have 2 boys in baseball so I get plenty of sun and don't have the time to dig up videos and random forums posts to find out why the miners I spent my hard-mined BTC on are now almost 2 months late. It's like I tell my daughter when she goes out. I don't mind if you are going to be late but just give me a quick call so I know what to expect and avoid losing any sleep needlessly worrying.

Again I deeply appreciate your efforts and I look forward the next "official update"

Re: This was the original point of my post (not to bring up batch #2 delays) and I find this ambiguous response "interesting". I didn't expect that you would directly address this post but while you're hear why not just clear the air and end the conjecture? The facts VERY strongly suggest these are the funds you have received for bulk chip orders. The transactions match bulk order amounts and began exactly when orders opened. I believe some people have tracked their coins to that address as well. I was planning to order 10k chips but backed out since there was very little info but have been watching with extreme curiosity especially now that the sample chips have been delayed with no official response.

You, my dear sir, should have realised that lots of people have invested in Avalon Asics and your "news" could at least cost 1 skipped heartbeat. What everyone is saying and what you need to understand, is that you should be very careful with wild accusations on the internet. What this community is looking for now is a simple apology and the promise you will show better wisdom next time.

I guarantee you I'm not mad at all, just amazed and laughing hard, really.

I'm fully aware of what TSMC is and its position, I just asked her because I figured it'd be worth a shot as she's never failed me in the past. I got a peculiar response which I thought nothing of until I saw this thread.

quit gettin mad about posts on the internet

Man. It's so f**king obvious that nobody can "source" Avalon chips from TSMC that is ridiculous you even asked. Do you have a clue of how a company like TSMC works? They are producing chips for EVERYBODY, including Apple or Nvidia, their security standards are top-notch and applied to every customer by default. Probably they don't even know who "Avalon" is, very likely every customer is just a number for 99.9% of the employees, and there's no friggin' way you contact TSMC and somebody is able to tell you that they are not manufacturing for this or the other customer.

Sorry, I didn't read the other page, I was (and I am) too amazed that you dared to ask such a thing to your "contact", and even more amazed by the fact that you had the guts to post such a ridiculous nonsense in a public forum.

And BTW, you have the proof now that "this person" is at the "an uncle that works at Nintendo" level, because he laughed out loud at your face telling you that somebody told her that TSMC is not producing those chips anymore. Only two options here bro, either she is a clown, or she is clueless, otherwise you just do not say such thing because you would feel ashamed.

AND BTW: next time ask her to "source" you the prototypes for the next iPhone from Foxconn, and when she replies that "somebody told me Foxconn is not manufacturing Apple devices anymore" you tell us, ok?

LOL

I saw the videos of the conference, and was satisfied for 60 days.

I don't need a minute-by-minute update, and fully support Yifu, and DO feel sorry for him, for having to tolerate the BS from individual orders.  I don't want to be a pain in his side.  I'm just hoping that my polite silence moves my order higher up in the queue.

Yifu, you know who's supporting you!  We won't tell, if you slip that order to the top of the pile!

1) This was all settled on the last page. You missed the bus bro.

2) As I mentioned before, I was told what I was told a week ago and I didn't bring it up. The only reason I brought it up now was because of some potentially troubling news in the OP. (I missed the post where Yifu said that he was woken up in the middle of the night and came to post)

3) This person represents a network of people in China that have previously been extremely good at sourcing anything we've possibly needed. In the case of the Avalons this is the first time they've ever been unable to find something for me. This isn't the case of someone who says he has an uncle that works at Nintendo.

But all of this is a moot point because it was settled on the last page.

wow ..  you really wrote that?

so as long as Avalon hands those btc to someone outside of an exchange for money, then those piles of btc will NEVER hit exchanges ever!!! 

brilliant!
