Has anyone considered actually contacting the foundry where these chips are being made? Maybe TSMC has people that can possibly have more answers. Avalon is definitely pulling a BFL and costing the lot of us a lot of money for each day our chips are late while the difficulty continues to climb 25% every month.
TSMC was contacted by some members of the forum, their contact person said they never heard of BitSyn.com or Avalon. It is expected answer, Avalon is TSMC's customer and their job is to protect their customers.
