It may have been nice if we were given the option to get a faster delivery with the 4.6+ miner than wait for the 4.8+ as it looks like some of the batch 2 may get theirs before us in batch 1.
If you think about it, batch 2 IS batch 1.
Waiting for $35K worth of miners. Please ship Bitmain, I know you have your ears on.
Yes, more QA taking place. I wish people would refrain from rude comments without giving BITMAIN the opportunity to follow through to completion their "compensation" for those who had to wait. They may find themselves regretting their rude comments later on. I understand their disappointment cause I'm still waiting for close to $20K worth of S7's myself. However, I feel one should still remain "professional" if and/or when problems arise to avoid stress, regrets, burning bridges, etc...
I have run my own business for quite some time now [Since 1997]. I've had my own share of regrets when saying things I should not have said and doing things I should not have done. I ended up learning "the hard way" from my own mistakes and times of lacking patience in the past. I've become a bit more mature in my business dealings with age.
I know of a time when I failed to meet a deadline for a customer and held them up for one week. The dude cursed me out over the phone [But I remained calm and consoling]. I ended up making it up to him without getting irate back at him and avoided burning bridges. He ended up apologizing for his rude comments and we ended up being good friends to this date and we play golf together on occasions.
I'm saying all of this just to say we might want to give BITMAIN full opportunity to make good on their unfortunate events that have occurred as of late without being rude. If they had messed up, I think they would like the opportunity to make good on their mess up without being railed upon. Being rude doesn't help anything. It only fuels more hate and discontent [Possibly from both parties]. I can understand "chewing someone a new ass" if that particular someone has been a complete ass hole. However, I'm not necessarily condoning "chewing a new ass" either.
Patience, truly is a virtue! If things do not come out as hoped, I still believe karma bestows what is deserved in the end for both parties. It's okay to have a grievance where it is due. I just believe those grievances can be voiced without being rude. There was a time when I would chew someone a new ass like a Marine drill instructor. I've found [By learning the hard way through the years] is best to try to refrain and be the better person if you can, especially in business dealings. Doing so [I've found] can be imbibed from the receiving party and end up being fruitful for both parties in the end.
