Hi Everybody,

We apologize for the delay in shipment and for not clarifying sooner the recent issues we've had. Here is an update:

We had over 100k dollars of orders that were fraud this week. The scammers used dozens of stolen credit cards to order hardware. Unfortunately, our credit merchants allowed the transactions to be processed. We've also had multiple chargebacks which we are currently dealing with. This is what tipped us off to the scammers.

To protect ourselves and our honest customers, we have had to pause shipments as well as cancel suspicious orders. This is why there was a delay. We did attempt to reach out to all customers that had delayed orders and provide mining credits. We are sorry if we missed you when those calls took place.

If you are of the few who have had their orders canceled by mistake (during our fraud purge), please email us directly with your phone # and order # at [email protected] and we will call you immediately to resolve all issues.

We strive to ensure that our customers receive the best service in the industry and nobody is left behind. For those who have had their shipments delayed, we will reimburse you for the downtime (missed mining time). In addition, we now have an advanced fraud detection system in place to prevent this from happening in the future.

If you've had any other issues, please reach out to us through PM, email or phone and we will work with you as quickly as possible to resolve them.

Thank you for your understanding and for believing in us.

Team GAW

Buy it now as there will only be a limited quantity available! We will offer also this with our free hosting! You will be online and hashing the same day!"

When I purchased this morning, it was $1499.99 (there was no link anywhere to the $1399 price for existing customers you mentioned), and I was charged shipping, when I thought they were hosted for free at this time. Hosting wasn't an option in the cart, and there was no free shipping option (like I see now) when my order went through.

I made a ticker already, just wanted to let you know about these issues.  Ticket 2977. I'm probably not the only one it happened to. Thanks.

You 3 Newbie's need to chill.

There are reasons for delays and shipments that you may not be aware of and sometimes out of the providers control. In the real world when you send someone an email, standard turnaround time is 24 hours.

The GAW team has spoiled many of us with excellent customer support, and almost instant feedback in most situations. And when an issue arises they work hard to get it resolved in the best interest of their customers.

So don't get all crazy now,  just give it a minute and I'm sure all of your questions and concerns will be addressed accordingly.

As you might imagine they are running a large scale operation, probably 10x the amount of any other competitor out there, and have grown that large due to the fact they have a great team of people who work around the clock to support us customers and giving us great deals in the process.

So give em a break for a second and take a breath...I'm sure you won't be dissapointed.

Smiley

edit: Oh, and I don't work for GAW, although if they offered me a job, I would take it in a second Smiley

I ordered (#2027) the upgrade to a blade last night via bitcoin and have the receipt for it but you guys can't find my order?

I paid $999 for it last night and now the price is $499!  What the hell?

Nobody is helping figure out where my $999 went even thought I have receipt for this order via GAW checkout process.

I would sure like some answers of what is going on???

My support ticket is #2852 with all my documentation for this order.  Nobody has replied my ticket for the last 12 hours??

Your transaction did not show in our system until this morning. But don't worry, we will send back the 500 difference to your wallet. Please send an email to [email protected] with your wallet address


This has been resolved now!  Thanks for taking care of this quickly!

I have no doubt that the GAW team will figure something out to satisfy all of their customers. The have had a good track record so far, and seem to be very accommodating to their customers.

Go GAW!  or maybe TEAM GAW?

Sorry but I'm a fan Wink

Hey guys,

To continue to show our apprication to our existing customers. Anyone that bought a blade from us, before today's date, will get another one free Wink
That is interesting, but doesn't reward the earliest supporters. If someone bought a 10 pack at $1695 (which were $1999 at the beginning when I bought them), then paid $499 to upgrade to a blade, they're paying $2195 for 5.2 MH/s. You're saying if a later customer bought a blade (which weren't available to the earliest buyers) for $2999, they get one free. That's $1499 for 5.2 MH/s, when the earliest purchasers (like myself) ended up paying $2195.

I think their offer is very good already. They don't HAVE to offer an upgrade at all. They are a business after all, and want to make money. There has to be a cutting point somewhere, you can't expect upgrades without any extra cost forever.

They could also have just given a discount for buying a new unit, instead of a pretty cheap upgrade. An upgrade is even more difficult for them, since it creates loads of second hand 5-chip miners.
I can understand that, and do appreciate the upgrade option. It's just that their promise of "always rewarding those who trusted us first" doesn't add up.  This time it's those that bought a blade first, after we (early purchasers) already helped to make a name for GAW, give them support, and aid in GAW's ability to offer blade discounts to newer customers.

You didn't wait long enough for us to finish writing a new post Smiley lol

Thanks for the UI, it looks great!!  I appreciate the fact that I can now check on my miners and change pools without having to open a support ticket.

I also wanted to say thanks for the super fast shipping.  I ordered two new miners yesterday and already got verification that they were shipped out this morning.

I am more than pleased with the high level of support!!  Thanks so much!

We rolled out a few more UI tweaks last night. The control buttons show the restart status now, this makes it a lot more clear what is going on if you choose to reboot your miners. We'll do our best to get some new things in there every day. The next actual feature going up will be backup pools. That is what we get the most requests for. Beyond that, an event log, and some performance charts are in the works.

-Jeff, GAW Miners

PS, the alert system is up and running but I have it shut off right now, it was getting a little chatty and over alerting some customers and giving some false alerts. I have let it get real chatty with me. The automatic reboots are running for you guys though.

If you don't mind the alert system over alerting you while I debug it further and you want me to turn it on special for you send me an email request to [email protected]

Thanks for all the support and feedback

You should have made some of that difference in mining income. And with the recent drop in BTC value it's obvious that vendors will re-price the equipment. It could easily go the other way, but price matching only works downwards, doesn't it?

edit: And about having the extra USB stock: I think there will always be MORE customers for those than the blades.  More people would have $150 to buy the USB device than $2000-$3000.

To be honest I think the very early adopters should get an offer atleast just as attractive as later adopters.

I was one of the first to buy a hosted 10-package. Those packages went for $1999 at first.
If I upgrade to a blade I will have paid a total sum of $2498 for a 5200kh/s miner.

Customers who ordered 1-2 weeks later only had to pay $1695 and with the upgrade the total sum is $2194

This is a huge difference... $304 and I can assure you nobody could have mined that amount in 2 weeks time.

We became one of 4 authorized distributors in 2 weeks when our competitors had been at it for months.

Simple put, we are their favorites Smiley

Nice try, but multiple companies had major price decreases. Lightningasic is at $1450 now, and hashra at $1500. So that is comparable.

So, either gridseed did a major price drop themselves, or you were reaping in 300% profit on the miners sold at $3k.

Wow, those price drops are huge. Did gridseed drop the prices? How is it possible to halve the price in a day?
