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.
"BTC transactions are final."? They have a refund option on all pre-orders of the 10k batches, and avalon is a company.
Some groupbuyers have done it, but no reply since, and first one i've seen was done six days ago.
Just because the monetary transaction used was BTC, doesn't make their actions legal or able to be left unaccountable for.

Sorry, I meant that BTC transactions are irreversible.
