Late -> Check
Underperforming Hardware -> Check
Overpriced PSU to pay for -> Check
PSUs leaking power -> Check
No longer offering hosting compensation and forcing additional subpar miners on customers -> Check
Offering <50% refunds -> Check

I too would rather have seen the original hosting package instead of receiving underperforming miners with no power supplies and having to deal with reselling them.  This compensation is quickly turning into a punishment with nothing but bad news coming from BA.

Yeah, the more i think about it the more it really seems that by crunching the power costs, more so now with the news of the actual consumption hitting, they got smart and decided to dump the things onto their loyal customers, calling it a perk.

That being said, if the price of bitcoin sky rockets into the 10k range then even these machines could be worth something....

I purchased the additional X3 PSU right now and hope that they ship the X3 (3 TH/s including all 3 PSUs). But when they ship it. When?Huh?

That maybe but it's now 23:55 where they are so almost Friday how much longer do we keep giving them ?

They generally update late in the day (my day), so sometime in the next six to eight hours.

Complaining probably won't matter anyway since they are likely buried in other things and not looking at these message threads. 

Go get yourself a delicious drink, make a nice lunch, have a nap, read a good book, take a walk outside, find your inner zen.  Then return and we'll see what we see.

Just suggestions...  At this point it's all guessing until they tell us what is going on.  So don't get upset.  Catch up on a show or spend time with a loved one. 

Already gone through all the Jd in the house Smiley maybe some Prozac next then.

Everyone has a right to feel the way they feel about the varying circumstances. 

That said, everyone should wait until BA puts out their Thursday update on what the situation is before jumping into a bitch-fest. 

The folks at BA are probably tired and running at top speed to make their deadline, which is today, and they are likely frustrated just as much as everyone here. 

Let's give them a chance to evaluate their situation and inform us of the options. 

Right now, everyone is basically guessing about what is going on. 

Be patient a little longer, and just wait for the update.

When you're an investomer, you don't get to complain.  You take your butt plugging like a man/woman.   Cry

When all is said and done, it's our risk and money, that funded this project.

Root, root, root for the hooooome team.  If they don't win, it's a shame....  Grin

The final thing that is unnerving to me, how many times do these asic companies release  the first batch of machines with no issues? Even after all their testing and what not. I was reading bitmain was having issues with their latest batch of miners, how many get it right the first time with no issues?

You mean all these people bitching in the forums pressuring them to get a product to the market as fast as possible has an negitive effect on quality? Say it isn't so!

Is this caper of having to buy a PSU for the X1 separately some sort of a scam to make more profit?

Why was it not mentioned at the time of purchase 6mths ago?

OMG has it been 6 mths already!



It is for their compensation machines. They are offering one free machine for every two you ordered, minus the power supply on the free machine. (if you want that sub-par power supply it is 45+shipping)

The painful optimist in me says, well at least they are giving something away for all the troubles caused.

The cynic in me says that it is total bullshit to compensate people in such a half assed fashion.

I would have rather taken the original 4 month hosting or what ever, something that wouldn't have cost me more money, i don't  have room for all these extra machines.

They had to have realized that to pay for hosting for all the compensation machines that cost was > just giving the customers the machines - power supplies. It seems shady imo. Like when you tell a child to apologize and they do the whole "sorry" really quite and unintelligible until you get on top of them for dickin around.

This  isn't black arrows first rodeo, that is what is most depressing to me, they seemed to have released some lancelot fgpa miners before this debacle without much issue. Maybe it was a couple hundred units compared to what they are looking at today and bit off more than they could chew. I really do not know.
