It's a shame for a company like Avalon to end up like this.

Maybe it's the "first" badluck. First in the ASIC race, first to fail?

Meh Avalon will be fine, they offered and refunded anyone who wanted it from B3 and chip orders. There is more than enough optimistic investors waiting to throw millions of dollars worth of BTC at Avalon as soon as they will accept it. BFL is still in business and IMO BFL is significantly worse than Y I FU

Avalon and Yifu specifically have ignored my requests to add my trade-ins to my store account. It took 5 months to receive my 2 x batch #3 avalon as well.

I do not recommend anyone order from them again unless they correct their horrible business patterns.

I am still out $2500 in trade-ins. This does not even represent the economic loss in revenue / profit. I am definitely considering suing them and starting a class action law suit. If I go the legal route, I will push for criminal charges at the Federal level as well.

I have timestamps of tickets, emails, and messages recorded. I have logs of transactions received as well. I think it would be quite easy to win a legal case.

Where are you located? I think he registered his business in Nevada.
Not sure what the laws are like over there?

To have the gall to start promoting yet another product with all of the existing stranded customers, manufacturers and resellers is truly amazing.

It is on the border of being grandiose delusional.

So you had the resources to bring a 2nd generation chip to market but couldn't fulfill your obligations to the original people who put faith in your business?

Get stuffed.

The realist

They have ZERO customer service. Not interested in gen 2 chips at all.

No response regarding lost mining revenue and Icaruses of trade-in folks, though.

This is awesome! I for one will be switching out the chips on my Gen One Avalon with the 55nm chips if they can ROI!

So I guess you'll not be switching then.

Avalon ASIC
Now accepting refunds from any and all order dates

Due to delays we are now offering full refund in bitcoin for all the Avalon Generation One orders made on any date, It is advise for people to request refunds due to the delay and raise of bitcoin difficulty.

The update refund form can be found on the main store site, linked here.
Due to phishing attempts and spam, any refund request not made containing the original order email and phone number will be automatically rejected by the system and marked as spam, so please bear this in mind.
Avalon Generation Two Chips 55nm

Those who have invested in time and money on Avalon Generation One based devices and clones can rejoice in the fact we had the foresight to make Avalon Generation Two chips completely backward compatible in every way with 110nm generation one chips, which can be expect to go on sale Late October 2013 for immediate shipping. Avalon will no longer participate in any kind of pre-ordering.

Developers and Hobbyists should keep an close eye on our github account as we will be releasing the 55nm chip specification and reference design soon!
