It would be so much easier if companies would just release the source when they release binaries.

Bitsyncom, post the source. Now.

From what I understand you actually have to have a binary... do you know anybody who has the binary? Perhaps the demand should come from that person instead.

I don't see why they have to redistribute anything, if the hardware hasn't been delivered. It might even be shipped with the unit... who knows!

Demanding stuff seems so wrong; especially after everything they have done for the bitcoin community. Trying to get a open platform to market. Not trying to take advantage of their skill set in bringing it to fruition just for themselves, instead allowing the boxes to be distributed far and wide to build the foundation of the network.

All of these complaints, are they even customers of Avalon?

I ordered one box from Avalon; they said in the beginning it would be shipped/delivered by the end of February 2013. They are currently (AFAIK) on schedule and yet they still get bashed constantly for everything. Why? They are on schedule. They are delivering generally what they said they would deliver. They will arrive when they arrive (I'm sure source was well). It is a little early to start demanding source before distribution of binaries is it not?

When I purchased the one box I thought they would be shipping MONTHs after everyone. But I liked the idea and the plan behind building the boxes so I put my BTC's where my mouth was.

If you look at what ngzhang has committed to the open source community, if you look at his youtube videos... from what I can see is a company/organization that is actually making a difference, unlike some others that appears to be in it for (more) personal gain.
