This is pathetic. If you're still able to retrieve your nose, I'd recommend it. I'm not saying you need to attack them, I'm still of the opinion that what they are fairly honest. Hold them responsible for their promises though.
I don't feel a promise has been broken. Never have.
I placed an order, knowing that it was risky, including delivery time. I fully expected the delivery schedule to slip. And all signs are that he's busting his butt to get work done. That's cool by me.
I know stuff happens, and I would much rather have a business relationship with an ethical, smart, hard-working person who isn't on the forums all the time, than someone who is unethical, not smart, or lazy.
So far, Yifu has earned the benefit of the doubt, and I don't feel the least bit let down. When it comes, it comes.
Buddy I envy your tolerance but the issue is this - it's not a playstaion its a business tool.
People invest based on what return they are going to get - nothing more nothing less.
Let me give you an example - my company builds out data centres - when asked on project time scales we have to deliver in the time we say - because they factor that into the equation of how quickly they can go live with their infrastructure and hence how quickly they can turn a profit.
If we say 3 months and then we take 9 months. Number 1 we would have the living shit sued out of us because they would be unable to make their projected profits and possibly not have the capital to sit around for six months scratching their nuts. If we had told them 9 months at the start they may have never ventured down that road. On top of that - if their business was time sensitive i.e. the longer it takes to get to the market the total they could earn diminishes it would be catastrophic.
This is exactly the case for the ASIC miners.
None of the companies have behaved in what would be considered a professional manner in any other industry and this is fact. I will say though in Avalon's defence they are by far the best of bad bunch.
Absolutely agree with the bolded. And to further your analogy I am assuming your company doesn't get 100% payment for the job before you do a single fucking thing LOL at best I am sure you get a small deposit and possibly a substantial payment on substantial completion (if your lucky and the deal was structured like that). If the BTC world isn't the modern wild west ATM then I don't know what is!
