I've been out of the loop for a bit on bitcoin talk and Avalon over the last 3 or 4 months. Why are people getting refunded on their batch 3's? Is Avalon forcing them to take refunds, or are people looking for a refund on their own, and if so why?
There's a ton of companies that have scheduled to release a crapload of powerful miners in August/September/October. IF they succeed, batch 3 will never make ROI. If they fail, batch 3 will make profit. People who requested refund think those other companies will succeed, people who stuck around think they will fail. Time will tell.
