Chips got refunded.
The refund was only as a precaution to avoid litigation. The chip refunds and delays are crap. Avalon has not provided sufficient compensation for the refunds.
Well, you got a full refund in BTC, what else could have you hoped for? Free money for the lost time? Are you following what's happening with HF's batch 1 customers (such as me)? That's orders of magnitude worse.
