Just wanted to provide a link to anyone that wants to file a complaint with the FTC.
Clearly states:
''If you cant ship within the promised time (or within 30 days if you made no promise), you must
notify the customer of the delay,
provide a revised shipment date and explain his right to cancel
and get a full and prompt refund.''

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/alt051-selling-internet-prompt-delivery-rules.pdfThey haven't provided a revised shipment date. ''Sometime at the end of the year'', or ''In Q4'', isn't a date.
''For definite delays of up to 30 days, you may treat the customers silence as agreeing to the
delay.
But for longer or indefinite delays and second and subsequent delays you must get the
customers written, electronic, or verbal consent to the delay. If the customer doesnt give you his
okay, you must promptly refund all the money the customer paid you without being asked by the
customer.Looks like they have less than a month to refund EVERYONE'S money BY LAW if they don't give consent.
Also strange that they accepted crypto for payment. I doubt Xilinx accepts crypto, and why would FPGA.land, etc. pay fees to exchange to fiat? Makes you wonder if this money has even been paid to Xilinx. GPU Hoarder said they will likely lose money on the 1st order, so where is the money coming in for this new order? Perhaps from the 1st order? Just speculation, and very odd that 1 day after I bring up laws, people are getting refunds??? Either Xilinx just ''happened'' to refund today or FPGA.land/SQRL held your money all this time. Just opinion....but coincidence? Come on, please!
Know your rights as a consumer. You may even be able to get lost ''wages'' for each day of the delay. I don't know, but a judge would.
And 6k for the new board??? That's ridiculous! A close friend called Bittware about a month ago and was quoted 5k for a bulk order...So, $1000 mark-up, plus a 4% dev fee??? Speechless...
