I don't know what you are trying to say. That they WEREN'T in customs? I'm not sure how your picture of Chips destined for Hong Kong proves they weren't in customs...
Because from the time they were posted in the BTCman forum (where they originated in a thread) they apparently originated from a disenchanted Bitsyncom member of their design team, Gridchip, who was insinuating they had already taken delivery of all these chips before he left, or he was in possession of them.
You need to find someone who speaks Chinese.
Last links in English, click that it states there was a split in Bitsyncom;
Basically,this team designed chips(110nm) for Avalon.
And for some unknown reason,they are looking for some new partner/investor.(40nm)
And,we don't know what happened inside Avalon.
To summarize what you and johnyj have said:
(1) Key members of the Avalon design team are now independent of Avalon;
(2) This new design team is proposing the development of a 40nm chip;
(3) The team is seeking investment - as in capital, as opposed to crowd source or pre-sales.
IS THIS CORRECT?Where you assumed that they seek investment or new partner? Also, where is evident that they bitsysncom asic team has split inside?
Maybe this has something to do with btc address for chip purchases? Yifu said that who claim that they own that btc address.
This is why is asked for clarification. As to my inferences:
(1) yuchuanzhen stated "Based on the author's words,may be some thing happened to the Avalon team.And,most like a big one."
(2) and (3), yuchuanzhen stated "And for some unknown reason,they are looking for some new partner/investor.(40nm)"
Again, this development is currently, in primary source, in Chinese. I think everyone who is reporting it, in English, should be very careful to
be very clear. Presumptions themselves may not translate correctly, even if they are, themselves, correct.
EDIT: As above, Minor Miner may well be more capable in clearing this up if he speaks Chinese.
wow you're on like everything I seem to read mr bitcoinarama....I came on to ask the OP: what do you possibly do for a family weekend getaway on only 200 bucks??? I did the math that is like 2 days of motel6 hotel room at 60 usd per night with a remaining 80 dollars to split up between meals and Travel - It would only work for like me and a 2nd person if we went out to each, stayed at a hotel one night and didnt road trip it farther than a half tank of gas. Even if you bag a hybrid that only costs you 30 USD for a full tank, that is still like 50 bucks to split on 6 meals (12 if you have a partner/spouse) that you need to split 50 dollars on. That sounds like a really shitty weekend getaway - please hook me up with knowledge to prove otherwise.
