Yeah, my request was on 9/11 and I have gotten no refund/confirmation as of yet.

Yifu said he wouldn't do pre-orders any more, so theoretically escrow won't be necessary.

Please post the date you requested your refund, so the rest of us have another data point to try to figure out how far into the refund queue has been processed.

(Obviously it would be better if steamboat would just tell us...)

my request was put in 9/12 and I haven't heard squat about chips/miner/assembly/freight, or even if my request was received.

Refund received today for 32 chips (batches 5 &6), thanks SB

I have not yet received refunds, for refund requests submitted on Sat 9/14.

(One of two was resubmitted on Sun 9/15, due to lack of confirmation in the browser window the first time. Possibly a browser issue.)

This will NOT be Avalon gen. 2.

As I read it, he does not specify whether the "next gen" chips used would be from Avalon or not.


I will say for the record, that if the next gen design uses Avalon (next gen) chips, that greatly reduces my interest, and I'll probably pass. Using another vendor's chips (possibly with an adapter) is probably less likely to be technically feasible, but it's the only way I'd be interested, since I don't want to support Avalon anymore.

The most cost effective and efficient way to recover the nonrefundable losses sustained is to reuse as much of the materials purchased as possible in a board redesign using a more efficient chip. We are currently evaluating the possibility of a board level redesign using the same form factor which will allow us to reuse the majority of the current design’s accessory components, and likely portions of the board level components. While we have been contacted regarding this possibility by a promising engineering team, research on the viability of a redesign is still in its infancy, and there are no guarantees it of our success. That being said, it is in our best interest to produce a competitive product which reuses the existing stock as quickly as possible, and we will be devoting all available resources to do so.

In the event we are successful in redesigning the board, and can negotiate a fair and competitive price for the chips to be used with a verifiable delivery date, all customers who purchased assembly will be credited the full value of the components reused in producing the new units, in addition to a heavily discounted rate for the balance. We do not currently have any information regarding the final cost of the redesigned unit, which manufacturer’s chip the design will be based on, performance data, or availability at this time.

For those posting that they've gotten their refunds, would you mind posting when you requested the refund? Might be a useful nugget of info for those waiting for refunds...

People would do well to actually read the OP and all the updates so far. SB isn't entertaining Avalon batch 2, he's evaluating other "next gen" chips.

Next gen:
We have been working towards solidifying the redesign using next gen chips, and are cautiously optimistic. We cannot release any details at this time.

So did Steamboat  

Steamboat IS working on something,if it works he will post about it  

We're ALOT better off than the terrahash guys are,just food for thought

Unlike the noobz that post 'received funds and '  I will post properly, hopefully the rest will follow along. (This way we can better gauge where we are in the 'queue' )

I received my refund - my initial refund request was placed ~Friday Sep. 6th.
