Compensation has been decided. We will be compensating everyone 0.05BTC because of the delays.

These delays have been out of our hands and they have caused us a lot of issues and grief. We are sorry for the issues caused.

is that per USB Stick ?

EDIT:
Looking forward for future ASICs you guys develop

heres some things now:

1) No word of compensation to calm us down
2) 3 weeks late on shipping
3) Price went from BTC.9 to now they are being dumped @ BTC.5999 and only 300 have been shipped.

I want a refund im done with the games
1) Just announced
2) We are two weeks late. We first planned on shipping mid October
3) Maidak is selling at less then it cost to buy from us. That price is only for his last 20 units.

Can you confirm our payment and add us to authorized resellers? That payment should have cleared a while ago. I also sent you several pms that have gone unanswered, I am assuming because of the flood of messages and how busy you are assembling units.
Sorry I have been incredibly busy and inundated with pm's. We received payment I will add you to the list now.

Thank you Beastlymac.  We have all been frustrated with the delays but I'm sure that you're just as frustrated with the way things have developed. 

I appreciate the way you are handling a situation that is largely beyond your control and offering compensation to protect your customers.  This is *VERY* refreshing to me in the current ASIC market where so many companies jerk their customers around and treat them like garbage.  Other ASIC companies should take notice of how you conduct business.

I'm still very excited for the miners to come and the way you have handled the situation ensures that I will be a future customer for additional products and continue to recommend your products to others.  I'm sure you guys have learned a lot from getting this batch through production and that future batches of products will go much smoother.

I don't want a refund but I am am anxious to hear about the compensation as well and I certainly understand the frustration of the people in this thread.  These delays have taken us through two of the largest difficulty jumps ever and a big part of the coin these were going to mine in all of our calculations has gone poof.  

I'm mining for the long term and the Fury's power requirements should give it some longevity but the price paid was way too high for this batch especially given the delays.  I understood when I ordered that I was paying a premium for an early run batch but that premium was calculated on a timely delivery (or even a week late).  I was hoping to be a few feet underwater on these but now it feels like I'm under a thousand feet of seawater on these units.

Here's my constructive input on possible compensation options for this batch:
1.  Bitcoin compensation per unit.  This is probably the easiest way to do it as it would be a flat rate per unit.
2.  Possible additional units based on how many were ordered.  This could get tricky as people ordered a wide variety ranging from a single unit to dozens of units.
3.  A choice between #1 and #2.  This option would probably make people the most happy as they could choose based on their needs if they would prefer more horsepower or to recover some of their investment.
4.  Vouchers for steep discounts on additional units (I don't think this would go over well with a lot of people, and I personally wouldn't like it much either, but other companies have done it before so it wouldn't be a huge surprise).

I would still like to see pictures of the fully assembled units working as well.  Give people some pretty pictures and announce some details of the compensation plans and I think people will feel a lot more at ease!

I am pretty confident that Beastly and the boys running the BlueFury's will get the units shipped as fast as humanly possible to the resellers... here is hoping people will have a little more patience while this gets sorted having worked with them before their first concern is making sure they do whatever is required to get them out to you all and if they have said compensation is coming trust me they will get that to you as soon as the shipping is complete. You are dealing with straightforward and honest people and they will rectify this.

I have not heard any of the resellers mention they have received a tracking code.

As Beastly only has 300 blues, he doesn't have enough stock to keep all the resellers happy. Not all of them can have a worthwhile share of the 300 so rather than upset some resellers by excluding them from the first batch, it would make sense to hold onto the 300 and ship them all on Tuesday.

Why is the planned compensation program for the delay not announced yet?  Considering the current value of the coins, the BFs have now about doubled in price since then.  I hope the compensation package not only considers the delay/difficulty factor but the increase in BTC value as well.  Otherwise, it would make sense just to get a refund for these GBs and wait for the next ones at the adjusted price.  These BFs are never gonna make ROI anyway; not even with the original BTC value when the preorders were placed.  I'm not bashing or trolling on anybody.  Like one poster stated on ssinc's thread, it's nothing personal; it's just business.  The compensation package should already have been announced by now.  Otherwise, it would be a moot point to do it after the fact; when the BFs start shipping tomorrow and refunds will no longer be possible and be stuck with $200 BFs instead of only $100 each when they were originally ordered.

200 units have been produced Today and another 400 per day until 1800 is completed.
Quote
300 units will be shipped out Friday and the following 1500 shipped Tuesday next week.

They both add up to 1800. So, maybe the division is not what was expected, but at least its all going to get done. If other manufacturers have failed worse, this one only failed a little bit (sort of like, better late than never.)
Incase anyone is wondering why Tuesday and not Monday it is because Monday is a holiday in NZ so the fab has a day off. Holidays are causing some real issues. Units have been shipped today and tracking numbers will be sent out. Shipping will complete Tuesday next week or Wednesday at the latest.

Thanks for everyone's patience.
Can you give us which resellers you shipped to today and the quantities sent to each?

I would also like to know this info - I'm guessing julz is one as he is a short hop over to Oz, which means with his ability to ship at insane speeds - I'll find a nice surprise when I'm home in a week.
