Re: [Group Buy#1] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as escrow! FINISHED!
I vote for refund. I think, guys who want to wait for shipment would be better off taking refund and buying Avalon chips at a discount, better chances at ROI that way.
If there were Avalon chips available for a discount I'd be all for it. I just haven't seen that option aside from one or two offers from group buyers. That's why I said earlier that it would be nice to see what compensation options Yifu mentioned might be available.
Yifu mentioned only one option. That was a refund now, with the possibility of re-purchasing at a discount later. All other options were suggested by others, and rejected by Yifu.
While I have no problems issue refunds, compensating for delay and such, I got no patience for people complaining when their orders are not late. Not too surprisingly, the people complaining the loudest are people whose order are not late yet(so more people refund and they can get their chips earlier maybe?), and people who have no orders(standard trolls of bitcointalk).
Most people who have chip orders are much more understanding to the situation, whom are either taking refunds, or working out some sort of compensation model.

Emphasis mine.
Interesting. Perhaps he's softening up then. He had originally stated that he had no interest in doing that. Hard to keep track of what that nutjob is up to. He says one thing, then disappears, ignores 90% of all questions, takes 1-2 pot shots at people, and then disappears again. Seems that refunds are actually starting to come through for those requesting them, so that's a plus. Too bad he insists on being so erratic and out of touch...
He's avoiding us 'cuz we're messing with his chi.
I do feel bad for the kid. What happened was probably beyond his control, and now there's a forum of thousands of people spewing hate and vitriol toward him. Can't be a nice feeling.
