Reposting this here partly to warn people in this groupbuy about what has been happening with his other groupbuy, which he has not been replying to, and partly to get his attention.

Ragingazn628,
I am requesting a refund of my 10 BTC of which I purchased 20 shares in your KnCMiner groupbuy which has now come under unforseen management issues.

Please could you issue the refund within 7 days to my Bitcoin address - 1Na4bUD6AgFMrBEPx58ztJeunn9inKcpmJ

Hey guys,

I've been catching up with real life stuff.

But more importantly I've been working with my partner prodigits7 https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/prodigits7-27850 for NEO-ASICS to make Avalon Clones for the Avalon Chips.

Quick Video:

Check out our site. I will be announcing orders soon.

https://neo-asics.com

Looking through replies and PMs now.

Also prodigits7 will be buying chips if anyone is interested in selling.

Also I don't mind if we have another person in charge of the shipment but it is up to the group. I've been dealing with depression and last week I've been catching up work and what not.

Not hard at all. Hundreds of people in on these group buys, only a couple of chuckleheads pulling out the pitchforks. Wink

I was biting my tongue on that one.

If anyone is interested in the remainder of my 160 chips (enough for 2 Avalon modules exactly) please PM me. I will split them up if necessary but prefer to keep them in 80 chip increments.

First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold

Hmm it is starting to appear that mining may be going rather sideways. Perhaps time to look into LTC again.

Sold my BFL pre-order today too. Checked the numbers for KNCMiners, doesn't look good. Bitcoin is going to end up being run by a very small number of extremely rich people who all pay taxes on their bitcoin mining profits to the US Government. I'm jumping ship. Was fun while it lasted, cheers guys.

So no one thought to grease the wheels over at customs?? Did BFL expand into the customs business?

Hello John

I talked to your partner today, the one with a xxx telephone number.

The shipment that arrived June 11 is held by customs at the NYACC warehouse in New York. US Customs agent put it on hold for inspection and as of today has not inspected or released or made any decision on status.

We have contacted customs daily asking for a decision and or release .

I have a team member meeting with them next week to see if we can have some action and answers

We will keep you informed

Regards

^Reply received from sf-express just now. I guess the sample chips are indeed in limbo here...

PS: The tracking info indeed mentions that it's been held at the customs, just for the record.

It's really hard to hold back the pitchforks when someone yells "Witch!" - thank you for calming the game

JohnK - can you investigate who this "Gary" is and get his number / confirm current situation? If a guy that appears out of the blue can get in touch by phone and get a status update, surely you would be able to get in touch too to appease the crowds/verify the info?

To raging/friend: it is in your best interest to have JohnK/Ryepdx verify how/who you get in touch with from Avalon/Gary (Who is this guy?). This buy appears more and more like a scam, particularly due to you being the only ones able to get updates (despite a lot of folks trying to)

The Gary mentioned here has a sf-express.com email address as given by ragingazn to me not long ago, which is the company involved in sending the chips. (it's a courier service based in China) I'm currently drafting an email to him to get the situation clear here.

Agreed. It appears that prodigits is working with ragin rather closely on their project, hence the updates. I don't mind getting information from him, but if we could verify his information that would be great.

Ok everybody, as promised, I have an update on the Avalon chips shipment status. I just got off the phone with Gary, the account manager for this particular case and this is exactly what he told me:

This shipment has been on hold by US Customs in New York since June 12th. He said that these are extremely extenuating circumstances because the most shipments ever get held up by Customs is about 30 days, so this is WAY past that. He also mentioned that US Customs has been non-cooperative when it comes to conveying any communication on the status of this case. So Gary and his company, they're all having a special meeting next Wednesday together with the Director of the US Customs of New York.

So we should have more information late Wednesday night. I will update you as soon as I get briefed on the matter.

Hope this helps shed a little more light on this unfortunate incident.

2 fucking months held up by US Customs? God damn I hate our regulated shipping / trade system. This reeks of corruption (and not necessarily on the Chinese side).

Note that this nick is a dupe of Ragingazn. SCAM ALERT!

Nope, they're not dupes AFAICT.

I confirm that raging told me in a PM not long ago that he would be helping him to handle the stuff here.

1. Can JohnK make an attempt to update the shipping address.
2. Can Ragin answer about the sample chips.

for the last couple of pages this thread has gone nowhere.

1. Avalon have not responded to any of my communication methods (phone, Skype, PM, even the ticketing system)
Here's the last ticket I sent them regarding a separate order:

Being Processed since last 21 days 2 hrs

If someone would give me their addresses I would send a physical formal letter to them already as the communication's been absolutely unacceptable.
