Gosh with all these theories and speculations about what is happening with yifu and the chips and avalon,,its almost easier for me just except what he told us yesterday at face value. How ever bizarre things may seem, they may really be held up in customs and he really may have another chip route and supply in the works? And they really may be in development of Gen 2 chips and 3 and 4..lol. The way I see it is, yifu didnt have to come into the thread and say anything if he was on the take or getting ready to blow us all off, he could have simply just never came back. I certainly don't think all the chatter in here of law suits and all that mumbo jumbo caused him to appear for us,,then tell us some lies and then vanish again. I think there may be some merit to what he has stated to us. I feel, he really didn't know what to tell us for a month,,cause he probably didn't know himself? So now he has something to tell us and he did come back in with a report. Not what we wanted to hear of course, but he did come back. So slam and threatened all we want but its not going to change things at the present time. Perhaps he will come back in today or tomorrow with a better update or maybe news and ETA's of the chips?...ok, my 2 cents for now. Next week at this time it may be another story!!
Its not that he is on the take or getting ready to blow everyone off - he doesn't want to do that because he has future plans for ASICs/tablet devices and such. Like I said, it was never about a full blow-off, it was just "blow them off until....x,y,z", then throw them a bone. We didn't really get
any info. Like no ETA, why he didn't try to fix things with customs instead of running off to Amsterdam, etc. Most people, when they aren't sure of what is going to happen don't go into hiding unless you are in the Bitcoin world. Most professionals bite the bullet and say "look, we know you are expecting stuff and some of you have put a lot of time and money into this but this thing has happened and we are working out the details, please stick with us and we think it is possible to have your orders by such and such."
The way many of the entities involved in this handle PR is strange - there is no way that just all of them suck at PR by coincidence. They go silent for extended periods of time. They never show that they are trying to get the ball rolling when there are problems. That is what leads me to believe it has nothing to do with PR. There are things going on that we aren't privy to. Don't buy it. And then they try to divert your objections by invoking sympathy for them with fabricated BS about hitmen.
