PCBs are not problem. I still considering the purchase of chips. But we have no guarantee that Metabank or other large customer does not put hands on the majority produced chips.
In effect at October  we will be in the same situation as it is today with Avalon. I do not know which is worse, do business with Chinese people or the Russians?
We honor our promised timetables to our bulk chip customers so much, that we have set a self-imposed fine for missing the dates promised.

I don't know if I want to do business with someone with such prejudice based on some racial or cultural stereotypes. I'm half russian and I like chinese. Maybe you'll enjoy doing business with a  100% USA company instead?

Punin, can you give a guarantee that the ordered chips will go to the customer on time and in the right order, since most of the product from your shop with August delivery was moved to a shop in the US and is no longer available to us ?

You are making strange conclusions here. We did not have much chips in august to begin with. Those that we had were pretty much split 50%-50% between me and Dave.
No chip on both shop. As I predict 3 day ago, no chip for miners. Big greedy companies take all Sad
In effect rising difficulty kill small project still waiting for chip supply. I hope Bitfury did not go Avalon path.

Saying about difficulty to make business with some nations I based on my personal experience  rather  some racial or cultural stereotypes.
I have many friends on Russian and Ukraine, Chinese to. This has nothing to do with the analysis of business risk.
Unfortunately, I have very bad experience with doing business with the Russians. I lost not only money but also reputation in recommending cooperation with those whom I have given confidence.
Looking at what is currently doing Bitsyncom, I  wonder that the transfer of interests with them to the Russians will not be fall out of the frying pan into the fire.
