@Friedcat: A forgotten promise? - page 8.

All ASICMiner Erupter Blades sold in batches [B1, B2, B3, B3+] were promised free upgrades. B2-B3+ were promised new power modules and ethernet controllers. B1 more importantly were promised free upgrades of the entire blades. These new blades were meant to arrive pretty sharpish, although in a later PM friedcat then delayed that to 1-3 months from the start of June [Ie July to end of August].

This deadline has now passed, and the value of replacement blades has fallen to 10th of the price they were. It is also worth noting that every purchase in B1-3+ never made ROI, not even close. Only Friedcat made the millions.

tldr: The point of this thread is to remind us that there is a current promise that has been left unfulfilled. Both B1 customers awaiting new blades, and B2-B3+ awaiting new power and ethernet boards are still waiting. For the man hailed as the king of in hand hardware, these unfulfilled preorder promises taste sour.

While the first round's customers will have a free upgrade to newer blades, this round's [*B2-B3+] customers will have the free upgrade of the newer power modules and ethernet controllers only.
