Yifu has posted a response regarding the chip delivery delays, which can be found here:
http://avalon-asics.comUnfortunately, the post does not provide any specifics on shipping dates moving forward, and offers very little information about the delays experienced to this point. Our inquiries by other means specifically regarding our orders have remain unanswered, and we have not received any information as to the status of our batches from either Yifu or any member of his team.
For these reasons, we have chosen to close Batch 7. Those who have placed an order for Batch 7 have been sent an email with further information.
We remain optimistic the chips which have already been ordered will be delivered, though we do not have any information as to when our orders will be fulfilled. We are exploring our options, and will continue to monitor the situation closely. We will post an update the moment we have definitive information.
Thanks for weathering the storm with us Steamboat. This position sucks, for both you and us. Up to this point I was still optimistic about these chips and units. At this point I think it is time to try and leverage a discount on these chips, although I understand there isn't much you can use to force the issue since BTC transactions are final.
EDIT: man this sucks.
