Guys I think things should start moving soon. I got notice that my batch3 unit has shipped so I presume that once they take care of batch 3 they will start with the trade-in customers. Shame that trade-in did not receive the priority they were promised, but what can you do; c'est la vie.
c'est la vie, eh? I'm sure many would disagree.
More like bend over.
Although I agree with and share your sentiment, my "c'est la vie" remark was meant to refer to the reality that there is nothing we can do about the situation as it is out of our control. We can vent and bitch all we want but that's about it as far as our powers go so far. We can however show our displeasure and vote with our wallets next time around. We have more choices now than we did before.
My hope is that in the interest of public relations the Avalon team do something to quell the anger of their trade-in customers. How can they do this? I leave that up to them, but I can suggest some suggestions:
1) Ship trade-in units at the same time as batch 3 units (least they can do considering the broken promise of preferential treatment for their loyal customers - ie trade in clients)
2) Ship trade-in customers units that are compatible with their proposed 55nm hashing modules so we have an upgrade path without having to buy whole new base units.
3) Process and confirm trade-in customer e-mails and payments faster
