Has anyone done a bitcoin refund from minersource? Following the chain it seems like it was traded for fiat so i really don't want to hear the excuse that they will only give me half back what i paid.

I did a BTC refund at Minersource for an X-1. They paid me back in full BTC minus a reasonable transaction fee.
Was it the same amount you paid originally or adjusted for price? Say you paid .41 when prices around 810$ (so around 340$)a coin and they traded it in for fiat after i paid do i get .41 with a refund (currently 201$ usd equivilent) so they make 140$ if i refund or do they give me 330$ worth of bitcoin as the 10$ is an amount for the fiat conversion and transaction fees?

The difference between what I paid in BTC and what I received in BTC was 0.0009. I didn't look too much into the conversion rates because I try to not think about conversion rates when buying/selling miners since it just confuses the only thing that ever should matter: BTC profit. It is quite likely they made some fiat on conversion, but I really don't care. They took a risk doing that and could have lost or won. I'm not a fan of bobsag3 by any measure, but Minersource was completely fair as far as I'm concerned.

Anyone else notice how Blackarrow Matt has been Mia for like two months now?

I noticed a sort of revolving customer support experience, someone new from BA would start and post for a while, then they would rotate out and their would be no one for a while, while they said they were looking for a PR person, then no real official update on a hired PR person, and instead someone else from "within the company" would start posting here.  That seemed to happen like 2 or 3 times with new people just revolving in.

they are the same person they just wear specs and change in phone booths, I don't know why that's so familiar lol

They are training him on how to use a soldering iron so he can make your miners!  Shocked

  Am only in for an X-1, which by now has fallen to "conversation piece" status.  It has all the hallmarks of a successfully-funded but failed-deliverable kickstarter campaign.  Live and learn, I guess.

  I did happen across BA's customer service motto, however:

ANyone looking for Minersource they are posting on the spoondolies tech thread lol

It seems that Bobsag3 is going to Israel to meet the staff at spoondolies ! Very nice ...

I don't blame him, at least he gets to see and touch real mining equipment with his eyes and hands.

Not the floating 3d renders and heatsink prototypes us dumbasses are used to by BA!   Cheesy

It seems like BA loves keeping its paying customers in the dark and speculating about their progress

What exactly do you consider weekly updates with photos?

A carrot on a stick, the fact that we are all sitting here speculating that the "hashboard" is a working prototype is a prime example. Weekly updates are not looking so promising and with the deadline rapidly approaching, we almost defiantly will be getting another delay. Some us are still talking about a miracle that may get us our equipment. Seven days till the deadline and we still have not heard one way or the other if they will ship, seems like January all over again. Its the same story the crow told me, its the only one he knows.

My hopes have been high all the way up to the last weekly update, I have been a proponent of BA but at this point I feel like I bet on a lame horse. Sorry if my opinion does not match yours but Im sitting her with an order just like many others and I can say that I grow more and more impatient by the day.
