Hi guys,
Haven't run off with the money (there still is no money or BTC from our HF refund). I'd never do that. Just super bummed from all the negativity, the trolling, the bickering, manufacturers failing us over and over, and me working 7 days a week for months doing this as a second job for peanuts (actually negative not-so peanuts). I just got so sick of it esp. since I was working for less than free and couldn't take it any more.
This was an experiment in democracy in mining and trying to deal with the inevitable network difficulty rise but I/we've surrendered the pre-order GB market when we used to offer many of the best pre-order deals around because most of these manufacturers can't meet their deadlines. Others can deal with high risk pre-orders but I'm done with pre-orders from ASIC mfgs.
I've been exploring other job options while trying to cram for a particular Microsoft cert for a job I'm trying to get. I've cut back my forum presence but I'm still looking at opportunities in the cryptoeconomy.
WRT case news: these things take time but the Texas court granted a TRO against HF for about 218 BTC so regardless of how the case turns out they've been ordered to hold onto BTC of this amount till the end of the case.
BTW, from the email leak thread going on over email: even people that have asked for USD refunds from HF have had to wait for over a month in some cases.

Good luck with the new job and things, but you took on responsibility of the group buy, tried to build up a business with group buys, so you still have to manage and cope with all the trolling, bad comments. If you took on the management of group buys, you knew from the past that hardware developers were flakey to say the best.
You also knew what the bitcoin community were like if something was not delivered.
Also no where on the first group buy which I was a part of was this to be a community group buy, you were in charge.
So sorry, things did not turn out for a massive profit you hoped for, but you still owe us time to figure out the mess.
Also on this just to make my view clear, I just want my $$$ value back.
Another thing is that there was no proper vote on action, people just commented, and how many were investors or buyers. Where was a proper audited vote of investors???
At the end of the day you FAILED in trying to set up a business, FAILED to provide your customers with regular information.
