Hopefully, I know they are going to just surprise us all and send the single order out within the promised two week period. This is it folks, if they don't meet that objective, it's time for the cheerleaders to admit there is an issue with TH, not anyone else, just TH, as they have communicated that they were ready to go except for chips.

So does that mean TH will have the chips and be able to assemble our boards?

Can anyone prove to me that there exists a single functioning k16 anywhere?
(one that is based on BKKcoin's last update that Terrahash verified that worked)

If BKK wants or needs a month off from all this bullshit I dont blame him one single bit,,,besides whats the rush now anyways...no chips,,,,and no 2nd gen chips I'll bet till after the new year. And then, I'm not sure if he even wants to go there yet. TH and others have enough design data from him to complete any klondikes now.

LOL

Update: Remaining Batches ship within 12h

I was notified today that the remaining 3 batches will ship within 12h, which essentially means they left Avalon HQ and are in the hands of logistic services.

Since the refund queue only reached ~2500 chips by now, I was not able to request another batch refund - now it is not possible any more. Pending refunds can therefore not be served, please do not request for further refunds.

Not sure if you are happy or disappointed by this update, but nevertheless: please double check and ensure that you have entered and locked your shipping destination for the remaining orders. If you did not, your chips will be kept back and you waste precious time of maximum potential mining income.</sup>

I am worried with TH being a Inc. How they want 3 months that is quite a bit of cash I'm guessing of overhead. 

The chances of them changing their customer service and other things is very small.  If you wait on refunds you are counting on them being a successful hosting company.  And if they are running low on cash how are they buying this hardware (they only require 25 percent reservation fee).  And again them buying hardware from another company and just hosting shows they done even trust their own production.

Ok, then I stand corrected.
That sucks then, and hopefully he comes back and gets it finished soon.  I guess at this point I'm just weary of the whole goddamn mess.
Too many people making commitments (in the form of posts saying what they're going to do for people/their customers/their prospective customers) and then not holding up to those commitments.

Bitsyncom fucked everyone with chip delivery
BKK has apparently gone AWOL for whatever reason that only he probably knows
who knows how many other companies or group orders have either failed to deliver, whether their fault or not, with varying levels of support or lack thereof to their customers
TH has made quite a few commitments that they didn't hold up to; regardless of whether they *had* to or not, once they say they're going to they should
examples - after orders went live posting that they would let everyone know where they stood in line for orders and *let them decide whether to keep or cancel their order*, which they then never did
saying they'd post info or pics or videos of various things by certain times and not doing it
saying they're going to be better at CS and still not responding to tickets

I'm sure they have their troubles, and imo some of that is their own doing through their own missteps and misguided decisions.  Some of that is not, and is 110% the blame of Bitsyncom.  
It's just really disheartening to see the situation as it is right now; I perceive it as every 'businessperson' just trying to get whatever gains they can, even if it's at the expense of others.  It makes it hard to trust anything in the Bitcoin mining hardware arena right now.

His last post explained he had some remodeling going on in his house....  I'm sure if chips arrive, work will be completed.  It's retarded to think that a 99 percent project is suddenly abandoned.

Just stop with all the FUD.  There's no chips yet, unless you've heard otherwise.  So the project is constrained...  I'm sure he's feeling a little defeated too having put all this work into board design to have the chip fairy not deliver anything to your door.

they paid him a substantial amount per bkk post in this thread.

Ok, point conceded on that.  And those people would have every right to blame him if he doesn't deliver.  TH and TH customers, however, really don't unless TH has already paid him which I don't believe they have.

Dont know how they made that
but on this thread you will find BKK post with thanks to TH
well they paid to him at least something for sure

Bkk also took orders for boards and programmed pic etc.. so he has many customers himself..not just donations and fees. He posted nearly everyday and then disappeared for last 2 weeks with no notice..plenty to blame

Citation?

The ONLY thing I've seen as far as them paying BKK was that they said they would pay him a small licensing fee for each board they made and sold, because he was doing the project open hw and open source and deserved to be compensated.
As far as whether they HAVE paid him anything, I haven't seen anything to that effect.  My understanding was that they would pay him after they had boards made, assembled, working, and going out to customers.

If that's the case, then while it sucks that he's disappeared, remember this - he is not demanding any fees for using his design, he is not locking down the schems or FW in any way to stop people from using his design even if they don't pay him, he is doing this in his free time (I'm sure he has a life of his own, and somewhat recent posts indicated he was away a lot due to floors being done in his place) and doing it all open for the community.  He has said he would appreciate being compensated by those who use his design, but hasn't made it a condition of using his design.

Kinda hard to go putting a whole lot of blame on him in this case.  He's doing it essentially 'for free' except for what people choose to give him if they use his design.

I am very doubtful that they will deliver. Im betting they took the chips and your never getting those back :/

2 days left TerraHash / Amir, you have had 12 days to deliver.

Just like how you try work it out.
I asked several times about hosting, and not received any answers about hosting.
It will be just perfect to know if there will be that option and what already done or not done.
if we talk about hosting and it's not clear how it will be, maybe we should make some internal pool, i offered help
but not got any response.

If your friend can ask about this too will be just perfect.

Thanks!
