the fact that he is making batch 3 units compatible with future 55nm modules is pretty cool.

Anyone know how you do an address change, as though a partial refund would be nice I need my address changed as I moved as I was sort of hoping that back end of March when I placed the order it would have shipped by start of July but as it hasn't I've moved and need to get it sent to new address.

cheers

Guys come on at the "partial refund me bitches". He will find a way to 'compensate' us, whether it be compatibility, first born child (split into shares) or something else. The best decision for his business would be a discount on future purchases.

But then again, he quite rightly wants to go back to hardware development so we can all stfu Cheesy

Agree on the discount. But the fact that he is making batch 3 units compatible with future 55nm modules is pretty cool. I don't think it makes up for the delay, but if we could also get a discount on those going forward... That would be perfect.

FYI tradeins just got priced at 17 BTC (which is fair ofc).

Whoa.  Makes me wonder what the soon-to-be-released upgrade modules will cost?  5-10BTC range?  Has anyone tried to revise their existing B3 order from 3 to 4 modules and gotten a response from Avalon?


I seem to recall seeing the official price from the Avalon Store in March when B3 being offered was 28 BTC/module.

Hey Koob -

It looks like my refund request cold feet take back did get the ball rolling after all...

No donations necessary!
Y'all's appreciation is thanks enough.

all refunds are in full, in addition

you must obtain the invoice URL OR your return address must be one of the inputs.

Fair enough, and thanks for the full refund option.

But for those who still want their avalons, would you not consider either a partial refund or a credit towards other avalon products, given that batch 3 will not return the purchase price in one month but now 3+ months.

Fair point. But base on batch#2 experience, they will not.

batch 1 was DIRT CHEAP.
batch 2 cost less

Both 1 & 2 were ~$1500 USD at the time of purchase when you include shipping costs.

and batch 3 was about 10k USD for a 4 module

big difference
The exchange rate at the time of batch 3 sales was $75

Both B2 and B3 cost about 75BTC, so if you were paying with BTC already mined the reality is B2 people get screwed the most by the delayed "promised vs actual" timeline.

Its fun to pick & choose which numbers to compare, because the wild fluctuations in BTC/USD price throw off the comparisons but the reality is someone who purchased a B3 is getting their unit with much less overall delay than B2.


Quote from: koob
Difference is batch#3 prica was calculated on Btc ROI, not like#1 and #2 USD.

Who actually bought that line?  I think we all know Avalon decided to finally take some profits on B3 and this was as good as logic as any to keep the BTC price mostly fixed between B2 and B3.

Given the hashing power increase rate. if we cannot get batch#3 before Sept. there will be no ROI.

Why would you get it in Sept?

He said they're going to start shipping Monday and expect to be done within 2 weeks. Given their history, that may stretch to a month. Even if it does, that only brings us into early August.

Also note that they said some B3s will be compatible with future 55nm modules. Gives me more hope for ongoing ROI.

I never doubted Avalon. They are not BFL. You can't expect constant communication with a Chinese vendor of money generating machines. There have been issues, but I prefer to sit back and laugh at all the tools wasting their time by complaining on this board on a daily basis.

That said, this is very exciting news.

In reality, a lot of people of Batch #3 will see their avalons in Sept. especially Russia, India and other third world counties.

All you guys whining "partial refund" ... How long did BATCH 1 & 2 Customers wait?  Batch #2 was supposed to be APRIL!  The last units just went out the door.

I got shipping info on my Batch #2, I am more than happy.  I had guessed it might be MAY, worst case JUNE, now its JULY.  So 3 months late, but still happy.

Avalon really did just take ~3 weeks to produce/ship basically all of B#2 once the new line was up.   Batch #3 will definitely be much more "on time" comparatively speaking, I am very surprised there is even an offer of a refund for the whiners.

Put simply:  Should I be asking Avalon for ~250BTC for "lost profits" of my Batch 2 being multiple months late?  Heck no.  Mining has always been YMMV!

Agreed, but you have to take into account that the price of batch #3 was explicitely based on a 1 month ROI. There's just no way that's going to happen now, and i'm not even counting the chips just from Avalon that will be delivered mid-July (which isn't very fair either, but that's another subject)
