too bad to see that these guys went BFL ... still ... i'm pretty sure there are tons of retards who will send them BTC upfront.

Because of Avalon's incompetence and intentional neglect, people will go to Bitfury for business. Avalon will lose a huge market share now that they have not honored chips deals, shipments on time, etc. I would not be surprised if they get a few law suits too. I am out $2000 in lost product with Avalon. They have still not honored it 6 months later.

From hero's to zero sad to see but its there own fault

Still pretty sure they'll get lots of presales since they are one of the few ASIC manufacturers here that have delivered.

Third, Avalon announces a "clearance sale" on refunded chips, that probably will never make ROI unless BTC goes astronomical.

You have to admit, that is absolute conjecture.

Depends on what the price for the "clearance sale" chips, I admit. But, Redhash is quoting about 900 W per 105 Gh/s of old Avalon chips.

The power costs will be the deciding factor.

Agreed its outdated tech (albeit in hand and readily available), but for some with free/ish power, do they really care? I'm sure the penguins do, but fuck the penguins.

Why exactly would anybody deal with this company again?

Watch them price their sale/gen2 chips very competitively. People will fall for it again. Greed never fails to appear.

People with any idea of the history of Avalon wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Funny how they don't even mention anything about the FPGA trade-ins. I wonder what happened to that.

What a complete crock of shit.

First, avalon screws their customers over by not shipping promised "no bullshit" chips on time.

Second, customers that paid full price either get chips, or a refund.

Third, Avalon announces a "clearance sale" on refunded chips, that probably will never make ROI unless BTC goes astronomical.

Fourth, Avalon screws over existing, late chip customers AGAIN, by cutting the price on late chips that they paid full price on.

Why exactly would anybody deal with this company again?

I'm more interested to see how long I can not go deaf in a room with the above pictured single fan 2 module unit.

Just got a new newsletter from BitSyncom

Avalon turns One years old
What a roller coaster ride it has been

We went from the last to enter the ASIC mining market crowd-funded by the community to the first to shipping a consumer product in little over 4 month. On this journey, many mistakes were made, tons of things were learned and we will continue to grow as one of the groups to keep mining decentralized and support the DIY community. Those are our goals.

In the up coming week we will doing a clearance sale on the refunded chips as well as some mining units and modules to close generation one and move on to a pre-sale-less generation two of the Avalon Project.

Stay tuned as many more exciting news will be announced in the coming week.

TL;DR Even though we haven't replied to any emails/phone calls/tickets or anything at all, we're about to launch our sale and also gen 2 chips (stock in hand). Please send us more money soon and pray that we don't do a runner/hide again. We still don't have a dedicated customer support team but please, don't take notice of that.

Oh and about your FPGAs... ha ha he he!
