Till now we received enough returned Prismas to get a statistical conclusion.
We decide that the old Prisma design has some flaws in both firmware and hardware.
Therefore manually fixing them and shipping them back take too long and are
not good for both our customers and us.

So the customers can choose one in the two offerings below:

1. We buy back the Prismas at the original price the customers pay.
The customers only need to ship the controller and the hashing boards back.
The fans and heatsinks are not needed. Customers who already shipped them back
can also switch to this option.

2. We use revised version of Prismas based on our new power management chips
to replace old ones, instead of returning old designs or replacing. This version is very
stable and has no problem of hashrate loss/overheat/can't identify boards/etc.
The compensation method for mining time loss is the same as before.

We cover shipping fee of both, if you can provide the shipping label.

We are very sorry for all the problems brought with the old version Prisma. The revised Prisma with our
own power management chips is much more stable. So if you are still able to put some trust on it and
accept the waiting of compensation (it accumulates with each delayed date anyway), you can choose
the second.

Please email us to [email protected] with the following information and format:

* Personal info,shipping address,tel number
* Date of buying our Prisma
* Your previous individual/exclusive btc payment address
* Number of broken Prsima boards (have to be fit well with the number you shipped back)
* Date you received your miners,date of shipping back
* The picture of the shipping label with the shipping price on it
* Your btc receivable address. it will be best to be the one you paid to us before. If the btc
receiving address is different, please sign the message with your address used for payment if you could.

For customers who already shipped back, please mail to us again ([email protected]) about the choice
you want to take.

Phasebird will reply afterwards with the new shipping address within US and EU. It
allows quicker turn-around time.



Plz every buyer who want to returned purchase your Prisma  keeps paying attention to this thread, we will start buying back all Prsima we have sold out immedietly once our EU/US receiving person are ready.  For china mainland buyers, plz simply contacted us through QQ:1327573930      . In addition, since this Prisma buy-back plan has no time limitation so far, please dont worry about time so much, we are going to refund you anyway.


PS: plz contact us through mail : [email protected]  ,since the BTT has already been blocked by china mainland

I just submitted my info for compensation to [email protected] again. I am still skeptical till I get a reply back or see something in my wallet.

Keep us informed about your status please.!

You can count on that!

Good customer service!

I really wish people would read what's going on before praising AM. Many people have had issues, then when we try to contact AM for a solution we get silence or a promise that isn't kept.

Recap on my situation. Prismas arrived Nov 6 and caught fire Nov 10th in 75f weather. I was instructed to return the damaged boards keeping the good ones and that a new prisma would be sent as compensation. The damaged board was sent back and cleared HK customs Nov 18th. Nov 24th I finally get a reply from AM regarding my inquiry to them receiving my defective unit, they asked for a tracking number then went silent. Several emails and PM's later and I get a reply on Nov 29th that replacement boards not a prisma were shipped to CrazyGuy. Replacement board arrives Dec 6th, many emails and PM's later and this thread is the first response I have seen regarding compensation.

Good customer service requires communication. I will work with people and understand when things need to change but it needs to be communicated. Promising one thing then going silent for days and weeks especially with time sensitive equipment like this is not good customer service.

This is a very noble thing to do for a asic manufacturer. Successfully turned a crisis into a confidence building opportunity.

Wow, this is an unexpected and a very generous offer. I must apologize for lashing out at the help@ e-mail address earlier today, that was before I read this post Smiley

This is good news for AM customers. I will say that I offered a buyback to my group buy participants out of my own pocket a while back, and the majority of the units I purchased back have been running fine. They are in a controlled environment however, and still sensitive to cold temperatures.

How long of a turn around time on the buy-back payment?

I must say this is a great move for AM to make. Even though I sold both mine off at a loss, and have nothing to send in..I am happy to see it taken care of.

Nice of them to do it.  I sent mine back to crazy guy took a shipping loss.  But I will look forward to the new chip in the spring.

a very good and honourable statement from FC, It's good to see the main players in the industry stepping up and doing the right thing.
I think lessons can be learned here, as we all know of one other h/w manufacturer who has been ensuring customers are made whole, from the very beginning.

FC didn't need to do this as the timescale for being legally obliged to replace duds will have passed, so it goes a long way to showing the commitment he has.

spring 2015 is going to be very interesting indeed.

wow thats pretty serious so you get to mine and then return for free and keep the difference?? am i missing something

does someone need boards to plop those new B300 chips in lol Roll Eyes

Most of us did not get to mine..or we mined really slow...or risked a fire. This was the right move to make, but this whole Prisma thing was a real mess.
I knew there were issues but I thought some people got everything working fine(maybe like 10% had problems) didnt even know about any fires. I guess i didnt read far enough into the prisma thread

mined really slow, as in not all the boards were working?
Anyone with Prisma1.0 or 1.1 can let us buy back with no specific reason if they choose to.

It's a generic buy-back, not a selective one.
