Update, after an hour and a half with 0 confirmations on my btc transaction, I now have 2/6, and my order has been changed to "processing"
-still no email from avalon
*edit, decided to lay down for a bit, got up waaaay to early in order to try to order. When I got up, my confirmation email has indeed arrived from avalon. and it seems to have arrived just moments after this original post.
