They bought it by third party - its not their own batch (read last op post on bitmine thread).

so what are we doing about the fact - that at their current delivery pace - not even our first batch will be shipped for at least 2 months - and no compensation has been offered ?
I don't think anything will be offered. The problem is we only have visibility on some of the earlier batches to be shipped (zefirs batch 1+2, etc.). A lot of batches went to private buyers (see spreadsheet) and were not group buys through this forum. I agree with kazarko here, I think that at the current pace of shipping (which we only have a partial view on) that people in this G/B should start having units in their hands from mid-Sept onwards. The next week or two will be telling though and will help us predict this more accurately. I am pissed about the delay, but there is little that can be done only wait!
This is what I am starting to think, they shipped another group buy order, to settle down the masses, and are now back to not shipping anything as it would seem. If they were really shipping 40 to 50K a day, then more of Zefir's batches should have shown up by now.
Notice how when the 2nd batch shipped, people fell silent and stopped saying bad things about Avalon for a week or two. Well since then, we havent seen or had confirmation of any more orders shipping. It seems that they shipped one more order just to appease people, then went back to not caring.
This really pisses me off, I half want a refund (yes I understand the controversy here), but I am also pissed that I bought these off a guy at .115 ea, so a full refund would net me a 6Btc loss. But at this point I would seriously be considering such a move as we are losing more and more return potential by the day. Of course this is based off of the assumption that they would provide a refund which also makes this a mute point since they probably won't. So I guess I just have to assume that I am out 23 Btc till shipping and then 12 or so to turn them into boards, with little hope of making half of that back.
F'ed up if you ask me.

Do you say that our chip batches will only come in 2 months? Where do you see this?

zefirs first two batches have been received.
August 26, 2013, 04:16:34 AM
does anyone has facts that other groupbuys have received their chips?
August 26, 2013, 04:05:38 AM
It is looking promising now though. At least there's some news and chips are shipping! I'd say a couple of weeks and we should have stuff moving.

I think there are around 25 batches before our batch 1.
If they are shipping 45k chips a day, and that is a big IF, and there are 25 batches before us, what would the delivery time be? (Not sure how many chips in a batch... 10k? )
Then add maybe 5 days for shipping, then add extra days for shipment to board assembly location, and then add a week more for assembly time and delivery if there are no long queues.
Realistically no one in SebastianJu's group buys would see any product until mid to late Sept.
On the other hand, at least Avalon is shipping their product unlike some of the new competition that hasn't delivered anything yet.
Thanks for the explanation. I really wonder now, if they can get them out so quick, where the heck were "our" chips sent off to in the past. I really think Yifu and Avalon did something shady. It looks like the took our money, made the chips and delivered them to a higher bidder, then ordered more chips and are going to deliver those to us now.

Base on the docs, At zefir batch 2, total sum of chips is 260k.
our batch 1 make it total of 680k. So there is 420k chip needed......
