Also it's likely only the first 10,000 chips requested will be refunded (no partial batch refunds). Possibly the first 20,000 chips, but it doesn't seem like 1/3 want a refund.
At this point, I don't think I can reasonably ROI on my K16s. However, I haven't asked for a refund yet as I want to hear what Steamboat has to propose regarding the assembly costs. I'm hoping he's trying to swing some sort of deal with Yifu regarding the Gen2 chips so that we can either switch our order to Gen2 instead of Gen1, or salvage the materials and get some sort of cash for the mats/assembly. Having said that, this whole discussion is predicated on the assumption that the Gen2 chips are better than the Gen1s, by a substantial margin. I'd be irritated if the only difference is that they produce less heat and use less energy, for example.
