中国就是有你这样的人才丢脸， 投资本来就是有危险，象你这样的人收到 第1批，订购第2，3批  还 举报他们非法集资， 如果我是卖家，下次才不卖给你这样的人。有了第1批 还能骗谁？ 还什么支持者。
难道 南瓜还能控制蝴蝶大量发货？  我笑
 想赚钱想疯了， 哈哈

this chinese just too greedy, what he says is he got avalon 1st batch and invested all his money on 2nd and 3rd batch, he is disappointed about the delivery time (2,3 batch) he says if BFL starts deliver in big quantity , he will report avalon for illegal busyness methods or china laws.

PS: Sorry for bad english

rudrigorc2,
such a touching story 

Waiting mining hardware sucks but I have a little personal story to tell about this and lemonades stands someone here mentioned.

Back on 2012 when I was still in BR, I paid 50% for my whole batch of ICA, the only way I get them for a better price and maybe resell for others - later I managed to sell three - still a good chunk of bitcoins given away, though. Once I got the batch confirmation I flew to BJ to pick them up, the initial idea was to bring them back home but I think the wandering I had in the hutongs changed my mind. For about a week every morning I had the amazingly dirty and juicy street food as breakfast, long enough to learn some food names and get acquainted with the owners, I also for the first time in my life played ping pong in a such good condition table. Better than the tourney ones since they are located outdoors and made to resist and Im not talking about the metal ones full of rust or the stone ones we find everywhere in BJ. Anyway, a group of elders, probably some ping pong old masters were always there and of course I had my ass beaten hard. I moved on. After this week in an old half rebuilt neighborhood I changed plans, found out about the electricity rates and about the relentless smoke cloud that hovers entire asia too, finally got a nice apartment to live. Some day when the ngzhang phone was still a thing we could rely on, I contacted him to ask about the boards and he took me to see a nice stack of icarus of early batches he had mining, the same one we saw in his thread. I realized I was close. Out there in the balcony corner a tall a stack of cardboard. Imagine the trouble of packing and shipping all that stuff. Later we had dinner and I met the fancy chinese food. The dinner was great and like all fancy stuff, too costy to have everyday and people always busy that its not easy to have a cheap talk with anyone there.

Back to hardware, my batch was not ready yet, and he said I had to wait one more week, that was not the deal, no worries, and now I tell you all why I will always prefer the lemonade stand everytime I want lemonade. For that extra week of testing and mining Zhang gave me some yuans, not the mined bitcoins, but still a good sign of the guys fairness.

Why I did not order batch1? That seemed to me a huge bet I could not afford. No regrets and I jumped only at batch2 expecting only the reciprocity that everyone that trusted and sent them BTC again deserves.

Disneyland closes when it closes.

So whats the new countdown? may 15th? 20th?

It's May 5th already here in Korea. Batch 3 would have been shipping on today's date under normal circumstances. I wonder if Batch 2 and 3 will be sent out at the same time or if Batch 3 owners need to wait an additional 2~4 weeks.

Basically, no (to avoid queue place re-selling hassle). But Yifu wrote that in some cases there may be exceptions. Try to contact him with your arguments.

Not really sure where else to post this, but I'm going to be moving, and need to change the shipping address of my order. It allowed me to do that on the website, but will address be used for when the order is shipped? This was a batch 3 Avalon. Do they honour address changes?

I suppose it does.

I was really hoping someone was going to tell me it was a halloween prayer.

If it helps, "pumpkin" is "Avalon".

I see. I guess Chuck Norris' poetry somewhat more terse than the original. So no offense taken.


Are you able to contribute a better translation? I suppose it doesn't matter, but it's really bugging me now.

Google translate never fail to amaze me.

It was my interpretation of that message depicted in image. Sorry if it offended you.

I was referring to the last bit of the quote, which according to google translate is:

"In time, you will not be a person, if the pumpkin always ignore our interests and demands, we went to fight, break the death, die endlessly. Please pumpkin do not hurt the feelings of the payer."

While this may be some kind of taoist prayer, and is in some ways quite beautiful, I feel that I do not completely understand its import. Perhaps that's to be expected, but if not I was implying that I would like some clarification of this passage. I did not mean to imply that I wanted such clarification from Chuck Norris.

Uh huh?

到时候，你不会是一个人，如果南瓜总是无视我们的利益和要求，我们一起去抗争，鱼死网破，不死不休。请南瓜不要再伤害付款人的感情。

"You can choose what to do with them after you receive them, but whilst they are still in our hands they will go to the address the order was originally intended for."

Sadly, customer care/service is born out of competition. That's when companies fight for a customer.
Our situation is the opposite, we are begging to be able to buy the product.

This will be a returning problem with people who buy up orders that other people placed: you did not read or
agree to the http://store.avalon-asics.com/ "The no bullshit, no fine print terms of sale" disclaimer


Don't try and put Avalon and BFL in the same boat, BFL clearly had plenty of venture (vulture?) capital funding and plenty of personnel they hired. There is no excuse for BFL's trackrecord but frankly from their history of how they botched their FGPA (missed their shipping deadline and higher power consumption) you kind of had it coming...


I don't think you are likely to find on a short notice a suitable replacement with experience to completement NGzang

They are currently dealing with improvements and redesign issues, this is not a matter of adding more shipping minions.
