Man, im tired to defend myself to people that doesnt even bother if their claims are true.
I wonder if this is exactly how Bitsyncom feels. Don't mean to kick the hornet's nest, but there's a lot of speculation and accusation going on in this thread and others that is generally baseless as hell. The only two gripes we REALLY have are that the chips weren't delivered on time and Yifu has been very begrudging with information on his side. All this talk about reselling chips and making insane profits and mining with CHIPS that have to be SODERED ONTO A BOARD before they work is just that; talk. Can we please maintain a level head in all of this? Yifu has already stated he's looking into refunds. That's an acknowledgement that shit went wrong and an attempt to rectify the situation. Can all the crazy people take a break for a little while so the grownups can sort shit out please?
Nobody gives a shit about "acknowledging" solmething went wrong. That's self-evident, even a child can see that
What is desired, and what is purposely being withheld, covered up, and obfusciated is
WHAT went wrong.
Ordering chips by a 10k reel from a fab and shipping them is orders of magnitude easier than selling their Batches #1 to #3
There is good evidence that a great deal of these chips EXISTED and WERE SHIPPED TOGETHER back in June to China.
Lots of talk on Chinese forums about backroom deals
Part of Avalon broke off at this time as well. Did they take all the chips? Why so secretive?
Are these new batches just the "OH FUCK" second order they had to make?
He said himself "NO BS" terms. Bullshit happened, and it wasn't explained.
Don't even start with "conspiracy" talk either. These are plain facts, most of these yifu / avalon / etc admitted themselves.
Until we get some real answers, nobody is going to trust Avalon. I'm not sure why they're even bothering with a 2nd gen while they leave these unanswered.
The 'answers' we have gotten about customs simply do not line up with the facts, and don't account for what we have seen.
Sure, don't trust them. Sure, don't bother with 2nd gen. But can we stop assuming these baseless accusations of shady backroom dealings and mining with chips (that would have to be mounted to boards before mining, which would be easy to see on the chips themselves) and all of this baseless nonsense? There are real issues here that I'm not discounting. I just hate all the extra bullshit that slips in and then is repeated over and over until everyone assumes it's the truth. The truth is: A) Chips are late as fuck B) Yifu is very withholding of crucial information and C) He's offering refunds. Everything else is speculation and should be treated as such.
Yes, How fucking crazy to think that a possible 10 - 50,000,000$ profit in the hands of a dozen people or less classifies as a "conspiracy".
They're not mining with your chips and shipping them to you
They took your chips and ordered "your" chips 10+ weeks LATER, AGAIN, after SOMEONE took the first batch.
1. You order chips from TSMC
2. TSMC ships them 8-10 weeks later
3. You ship them to the customer
So what the fuck went wrong?
And stop with this fucking stupid ass strawman of "they took the chips, mounted them, then UNMOUNTED them and shipped them!"
No you asshole
They ordered the chips with your money, SOMEONE acquired them, used
and still is using them for mining, and then they
had to order another run of chips from TSMC after this happened. That's why the chips are so late.
