Had enough of Minersource. (I need to rant)
Dan Murtha has started to ignore all my messages at Minersource.

I was speaking with him to a couple of weeks ago because I was complaining that even though bogsag3 himself told me somewhere in the thread, my order was valued at $100 for the customs, when I got my order I had to £53+ in customs duties (equivalent in $90+) and his response was apparently some slipped through at the full retail price.

But Dan himself was genuinely polite and promised me that if I was looking for more hardware that he would come up with a favourable deal. (Completely ignoring the fact that technically he should of reimbursed me for the additional fees I paid as it should of come to about £12 in duties).

So I began talking to Dan to see what kind of deal he could do for me, afterall I am willing to spend more money at Minersource for a decent miner in stock. So I asked what does he have/recommend as I dont want to spend a massive amount considering the delay has screwed me and many hundreds more people.

He recommended the BTC Garden 610gh. I was happy with that and made the suggestion about making this a deal worth while for me, but he has basically ignored the fact of coming up with any kind of deal when giving me a price. I said because I am spending more money with Minersource, I think a fair deal would have been somewhere in the region of a $200 discount, as I would ideally like to pay no more than $400 and he could consider all future compensation from this BA fiasco complete and he can even keep the raspberryPI and just send the SD card with the software. But no, I am ignored and he clearly doesnt care.

I haven't criticised Minersource at all during this whole thing, but I am beginning to feel like he/minersource is on purposely shitting on me. He even tells me that he cant work out a deal based on the compensation because its seperate. (But Dan, I asked for a bloody exchange long before my order shipped and you said no, and I still didnt argue) Based on that comment alone, I doubt very much Minersource is going to be giving anyone who ordered 1 X1 any kind of compensation that would reflect anything of value. I said to him surely in my situation as I only bought one as voucher is the logical option.

Dan ignored the fact that even though I requested a refund (which was ignored) and even though I requested an exchange of item for the price I paid - I would of even paid a bit more for something else (that was also ignored). I pleaded my case that if we could deal at $400 for the BTC Garden, that would be fair because Minersource exchanged plenty of other peoples miners and even refunded others (when he refused mine), even pointing out others on this forum took completely destroying their name of minersource because they were unhappy.

I have done none of this (unless this counts), but I can only assume that because I have been nice, Dan and the others at minersource dont give a shit about me. They have shipped my order, lied to me, made me pay for it and now ignore every email I send and thats me trying to arrange something where I pay them more money.

I think I am broken. End rant.

I can't even get MS to respond to my refund requests.

They're too busy assembling the 50 miners that will ship this week to give us updates.

I think they may have stopped shipping altogether. Anyone get any recently direct from BA?

BA, how about an update on shipping?

My refund went from "after B1 & B2 shipping is complete" to basically "You're going to get your miner whether or not you want it" when I asked about it again the other day.

Cool, now will minersource start refunds for other customers who are still waiting?

I predict no one will get any compensation units regardless if they bought the PSU for it already or not. ROI on the prices we payed in 2013 are pretty much not going to happen at this point. BA won't drop the price of their miners until B1 and B2 are all shipped and at the rate they're going it's going to be months before that's finished.

Order date means nothing,Apr/15/14 is when he got the NEW order # The date he PAID for his order is the important date!

Congrats on that! Would you let us know the date your order was paid in full?

I just can't believe how many BTC we've all missed out on because of the delays since Feb, and how we've been strung along endlessly. Most likely I will never see any miners or in fact anything from them. 

If it IS a cellphone, we could use GPRS/UMTS for Internet instead of LAN/WIFI :-)
THAT would be cool ... !

Ahahahaha that's really funny... did they tape a tablet into it and forgot to plug it in???

Came with power cord?

did you receive any compensation?

well my X1 arrived safe and sound and is now hashing away on mining rig rentals. if you are waiting for that LCD, its pretty useless. just log into the system via the web ip and it has a decent HUD of whats happening with the miner.

From Blackarrow on ecointalk


Why don't you give Bitmaintech a call? They did a pretty good job of building and shipping.

Still waiting for his free miner maybe?

With blackarrow it is always next week or the check is in the mail. This ship is sinking so better get you life jacket ready.

I have order X-1 from BlackArrow, pay day is 24 Nov 2013...
