I will take your units if Arklan is okay with transferring them to me.  PM sent
IMO, neil, you're attempting to jump a line.

Seems to me that, until the units allegedly become available again, all cancellations should go back to an 'available' pool.

Then, those that have hung around long enough should be asked about their desire for a portion of those which have become available.

I mistakenly thought (based on what i was told!) that I'd be getting the rest of the order shortly - like, several days ago. Thus i used the first batch of 154 to fill the bigger orders and the on from there. I am not sitting on any unshipped units right now. Like everyone waiting on USBs, i'm waiting on asicminer. I've read speculation that AM is focused on the mini blades, and that's the cause of the delay.

Make no mistake: i'm just sitting on the btc you've all sent me, waiting to be sent to fried cat.

Unfortunately, you fucked over the people who ordered in the first batch like me. I paid before you ordered the first batch and yet I have received nothing. Why did you decide to ship out of order and how did you decide that it was okay to fuck over your customers?

Sorry for my abusive tone. It's just that we complained about this last time, and you did it again.

I had every reason to believe that the second shipment would have come, and been sent out to all of  you, by now. Clearly, that hasn't happened.

As i've  said, if you want a refund that's not a problem.

Since you are unable to deliver and you delivered out of order, I would like a refund please.    0.7 BTC to 1DaddyjfKQAJYYGW3C7Ahz1F9AXYQLyijj   for four units.

Still no word huh? This is a bit odd. But oh well.

Hey line 58, col A says "4", that was me, it should say Tranz.  I am in for 6 total.

Thanks.

Oops! Thanks.

I've had word from friedcat. He said the others we're waiting on should be ready to send "in a few days."

Thanks for the patience guys.

That's cool by me too.

I sent you a PM asking for an address change due to this. Let me know if that's doable. Thanks!

swore i replied to that...

yea, it's fine.

According to the spreadsheet there are a few laggers.

Pez: 4 extra, paid 0
digigami: 4 extra, paid 3
double.Cypher: 4 extra, paid 3
muyuu: 4 extra, paid 3

Line 58 says the user is "4", which I assume is a typo.

I've already got all I want for now (unless no one wants more, and then I guess I'd pay for extra), but if these are ready in a few days, you guys might want to get on the ball. Smiley

ASICminer shares took a HUGE fall it's not even funny.

They peaked at what, 5 something? What's it down to? I haven't been watching. Might be worth taking a peak... I mean, hardware is solid, so what if they bungled this coupon thing.

The fall was because their dividend dropped this week.  Weak hands... weak hands.
time to buy!

disclaimer: I own 10 shares.
it is traded on an exchange? ticker?

There is frustration, but I recognize that its not your fault.

IOWs, I believe in your good faith and that you're just as 'irritated' as the rest of us with this.

With hindsight, things might have been done better. But isn't that always the case?

FWIW, I'm still waiting as well for a response to be able to place an order for the last 70% of a batch @ 0.1BTC

 With CanaryInTheMine and others receiving regular stock, we have to assume that friedcat is prioritizing limited stock for higher margin purchasers at the moment; can't really blame him.

 Here's hoping stock levels stabilize over at the ASICMiner camp. Sounds like they are super busy over there.
he's definitely working on getting resellers the remaining inventory but it's taking time to make it...
friedcat is a person who does not like to specify a date when something is not 100% in his control...
these have to be made on a schedule at a factory. and delays can and do occur (external factors beyond control).
if we were given a date and it was missed, it would be worse than current situation.  and there would be comparisons to other manufacturers who provide dates, but no product arrives on the promised date. anyway... i digress.

people have really laid the brunt of their anger at resellers, but we've shipped what we got ASAP... give us a break already for crying out loud.

in arklan's case, he's the very first person to organize a group buy for the benefit if all who participated... he really worked his tail off and in the end which one of you gave him a tip for all the hard work? anyone? speak up!! recently he was asked to find out about getting coupons for the first group buy, he has done so at your request... he had no obligation to do this.  so now please be patient as arklan will get these out ASAP when they are received.

in retrospect, I really wish friedcat never did these coupons, at least the culmination of what's been happening wrt coupons has lead me to this conclusion at this time...

there are more pissed people about coupons than those who bought at listed price and were stung by a price drop a few days later...

I think the intention was right on friedcat's part, but the result is more problematic than the original situation...  I'm going to ask him to seriously consider never to do coupons again...  in reality, he doesn't need to do this at all.

no good deed goes unpunished has a whole new meaning now...

I've been in a few group buys for these.  Every other one has gone for "~30% of the users will get a coupon".  This one is the only one where 100% was stated.. but if you run the numbers, it's about 30% that shipped.

Time for mass refunds until if/when the next set becomes available?

M

i got confirmation from friedcat last night: original order is the limit, NOT 30%. 512 units available. everybody is welcome to order their original amount. you'll get it. more then that? we'll see how many are left. i don't think that the original buyers will all step forward, but as you can see from the spreadsheet, that hardly matters.

That's fine... except no other group buy has worked that way that I've seen, and that is not it seems to be working here.

*cricket sounds*

Friedcat hasn't responded to Arklan's multiple requests to pay. Nothing will happen until Friedcat responds. Ball is in his court.
