I think the bigger issue right now is TH canceling the orders with Avalon UNLESS we can get them to upgrade the order to Gen2 for same cost.
At the same time we have no knowledge of what Gen2 will actually be and when it will be delivered.
Avalon should really just convert all existing orders to Gen2 unless buyers request otherwise.
Blah blah blah.. my head is all hurting from this BTC thing, lol.

Can you imagine how Terrahash feels? The only thing holding them back from completing their K64 is BKKs absence (Even though they paid him for his service)
They are not privileged to information that we are not regarding Avalon Chips. They are trying to figure out what the best scenario is as well and Yifu/Trolling Customers & NON-Customers/BKK are not making it easy which is why I put together a thread for listing all of the solutions and finding out what customers want.

Yeah, I know they are in a bad position. Wouldn't want to be them right now. Cant really blame them yet as Step #1 was the chips, then if they couldn't send the product in Step #2 then they would deserve what's coming to them.
Lack of communication.., yeah they are probably thee worst offenders.
I noticed absence of BKK, hmmm
Trusting Yifu had been out the window for a long time. lol
Citation?
The ONLY thing I've seen as far as them paying BKK was that they said they would pay him a small licensing fee for each board they made and sold, because he was doing the project open hw and open source and deserved to be compensated.
As far as whether they HAVE paid him anything, I haven't seen anything to that effect. My understanding was that they would pay him after they had boards made, assembled, working, and going out to customers.
If that's the case, then while it sucks that he's disappeared, remember this - he is not demanding any fees for using his design, he is not locking down the schems or FW in any way to stop people from using his design even if they don't pay him, he is doing this in his free time (I'm sure he has a life of his own, and somewhat recent posts indicated he was away a lot due to floors being done in his place) and doing it all open for the community. He has said he would appreciate being compensated by those who use his design, but hasn't made it a condition of using his design.
Kinda hard to go putting a whole lot of blame on him in this case. He's doing it essentially 'for free' except for what people choose to give him if they use his design.
