And again, have you also outsourced your production and shipping logistics? This is where both Avalon and BFL have failed. It's very critical information for determining whether or not to purchase.

Yes - production and fulfillment are outsourced - design partly in house and partly outsourced. These days there are many professional companies who specialize in these areas, ISO9001 certified, etc. No need to keep these in house.

are they as much professionnal as your website developper?

if yes,we are at the beginning of something interesting with you guys

lol

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

The development and management of the site was outsourced to an external developer, who came with good credentials, and was not cheap. They selected an unsuitable hosting solution and implemented the site on it. We are no longer working with them, and moving the site.

I hope you didn't pay with bitcoins

Zing!

To be fair, it's possible the site was under attack. Haters abound.

But always separate content creators from hosting providers. Webmonkeys don't know jack about the other six layers.

Really? You launched a multi-million dollar project on a $5 shared hosting solution? What kind of idiot are you?

I had to refresh a few times. It is showing up now. Scrolling down a bit the page seems to be served by CloudFlare... I guess they are using the free plan or something as I'm pretty sure the paid doesn't show ads when your site is down.

Guess their new outsourced dev got a $11.6 budget (paid in cash), as the first one...

You have malware on your computer.
I think your bitcoins will disappear soon.

A) No, that's actually what their website looked like, now it's a cloudflare thing
B) I hope no one is dumb enough to leave a serious amount of bitcoins on a machine they surf the web with Grin

How do you figure ?

I think he thinks that page was inserted locally, by some spam spyware. Although as you can see it's signed by Hashfast's certificate, which would be difficult (but not impossible) for malware to do.

(EDIT: Actually it's showing up again - anyone else see it?)

Ytterbium, I had seen that page earlier. And I am seeing that right now as well.

Okay, here's a screenshot of their site from a nearly completely stock Ubuntu 12.04 install, hopefully proving neither I, nor my computer is insane:

As you can see the page is digitally signed with their SSL certificate meaning that they're not actually in control of it. Given how much money is at stake you'd think it's something they'd pay attention too

At this point I actually feel kind of bad pointing out all their mistakes :/

I Interpreted it as illegal, which is what it is. It was more a case of I would remove that if I were you, especially if you, by your own declaration are the spokesperson of a company.

why is it illegal?
i changed my mind.

So basically you hedged your bets, made 3 reservations, with every intent to refund 2/3.
No wonder you advised hashfast choosing bitcoin only - to stop people doing what you have done to others.
To the detriment of potential customers if the startup fails.

I'm not seeing that page. It brings up a CloudFlare time out error, which could either be due to misconfigured DNS or DDOS attack on the origin server.

Not sure what's going on. I tried reloading and saw a cloudflare error page I'd never seen before, but before I could get a screenshot it redirected to the cached version.

Maybe they just shut down the site, resulting in the cloudflare thing.

Man you guys are brutal. They said they were moving their provider. Takes some time to propagate dns.

Wow, it looks like they're whole website is down at this point:

Pro-tip: Don't fire your web designer while they're still running your server!

At this point I feel kind of bad for you guys.

Hi All,

We outsourced our web development, and got stung with a hopelessly underpowered shared solution. Combined with the bitpay integration issues this has caused a host of problems. John is working with a new web developer to bring up the site on a new dedicated server.

The shipping quotes we are using come from an automated calculator of shipping cost - we are not making any profit on shipping. If we are able to negotiate a better deal with the shippers we will refund you the difference in shipping cost. Of course we also welcome you to come and pick up your order in person.

Are you also outsourcing the physical production of your boxes?

Well, I hope you're getting your money back.

And again, have you also outsourced your production and shipping logistics? This is where both Avalon and BFL have failed. It's very critical information for determining whether or not to purchase.
