Crap, and I was waiting for the last of my refunds to credit back my CC so I could buy a hosted A2.

GAW... Any chance we could get our Hosted miners to be able to work with MagicPool?   I just tired it and it dont seem to work.. 


Not sure if this is the reason its not working but on the MagicPool Website they state:

Warning: newer cgminer versions than 3.3.2 are not supported due to a bug in the stratum protocol implementation code. We recommend sgminer. It can be download from here: windows Linux.
 

Power Supply(ies): I purchased a Falcon, says 740W now, said 640 before IIRC.

Am I to understand that these use a standard ATX style power supply? If so, how are you supposed to hook it up? I see that there are two "8 PIN" hookups, and I do have several of those on my power supply, but ATX power supplies are generally turned on by the motherboard. Is there a motherboard connector on this thing that I'm not seeing in the pictures? Or am I supposed to do some sort of "wire hack" to turn this on? If that is the case, this seems like a really crappy setup. Are other miners requiring the same thing? The Gridseeds were powered with a cheap CCTV PSU (man I love those things, wish they could ROI).

Anyway, I hope I'm just missing something. What is everyone else doing? ATX power supply or something more exotic?

But as you said in your next post, chinese equipment is used and can burn your house down. So using that as a sales pitch without directly pointing fingers at Gseed, GAW is securing its lead. Also, I'll say again, this doesn't give the chinese the chance to mass-mine with the equipment and then sell the equipment to makes tons of cash. They are forced to sell 'new' equipment, changing the game as Josh desires so much. Plus with the other idea I gave Josh, either scrypt or x11 or both, GAW would be unstoppable, IMO. Gaw could also have 2 teams for its products, one for "short term lower budget" product releases to satisfy the customers with an equivalent product that china would release to just dissuade potential miners from buying from china. Then release the 'mothership' after a few months, thereby making all asics before it obsolete, including GAWs lower budget asics, but produce and charge enough 'motherships' to make the profits in the limited time window. Look at supposed titan sales. it is possible. But it all depends on the resources GAW has at its disposal, if Gaw is big enough. It's not about the money for Josh at this point from all the 'mission statements' I've read, although it's helps haha, its about changing the way things are run in the entire ASIC world. Although the comparable units aren't totally the same, one mistake was to use Zeus in the respect they are competing with each other seeing who gives the better deal. Exclusivity is key, unless GAW needed this step to gain a foothold and experience.

By all of the miners trying to get the most of our money out of Josh by crying to him when there's a problem, it IS changing the way things are being done, BUT its delaying GAW from the true changes in store for us. That's why I didn't press the issues of the price drop or ROI for GEN A's. I know the money is being used constructively. I may not even claim my ~$500 store credit for a while and continue to pay un-discounted prices just to support GAW, of course if there's no expiration date on it.... This is how one believes in an ideal, with what I'm able to do with the resources at MY disposal. Go JOSH!!!!!

When they listed A2 miners for sale, they had em. If you bought one, it's reserved.

They probably sold out, like the big gun, blades and gridseed 5-chip miners. When all inventory is sold, it goes away from the site. Makes sense.

Your client should open a ticket and copy Josh or Rami when sending it in. It will get resolved. Also, I could be wrong, but if they missed their promised delivery date your client may be owed compensation. I'm not sure if this is the case for the A2 miners or not.

A client of mine has and yes they have- Me getting ahead of myself with the situation: they dont have a2s, either a refund or credit to another miner will be the solution to this.

And yes, they do track and note everything that goes on in this thread. My above statements are to also have these issues related to the company be transparent.

A ticket system is great for obvious reasons, handling customers. It's also great to hide your problems and issues from future and present customers. There is only praise in this thread and the praise is always followed by "Everything was messed up from the beginning.. but they fixed me right up!"  - why are we praising a company who makes mistakes to even begin with?

"Because they made it right in the end" is not an answer.


This will be erased like every other unbiased statement made but maybe this will actually sink in to the few who see it.

Cheers and get yourself a free pizza. 

It is actually quite the opposite.

So the A2s that were due online on the 20th got pushed to the 21st. It is now the 22nd and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

I checked today and they are not even listed on the website anymore? What happened to everyone in here saying "Oh I know they have those boxes for sure, I know it! They will be online, I just know it!" - so yeah, what happened to the vaporware boxes?

The problem with the Chinese is that you can always find someone in there who'll work for "a bowl of rice", so they can cut on labor cost as they please.
GAW doesn't really have to fight the cheap Chinese manufacture, they can upgrade the existing ones, write their own software and win the race

It isn't about the money for Josh, but do you think someone like KNC, with their recent track record, gives a crap about GAW, Gridseed, or Zeus customers?  Lots of great businesses go under because they aren't willing to play the game - or worded differently, the seedy businesses often survive because they'll gut everyone else to make an extra nickel on every dollar or because they know in a war of attrition (business ) you can wait out your competitor.  I don't doubt the motivation of Josh at this point, but just because he has high minded ideas about how to make things better it doesn't mean others won't try to flood the market for cheap profit.  

And I hate to continue to demonize the Chinese in this.  I know some lovely Chinese people who hate the way business is done in most of Asia.  The problem is that if you release HasherX at 10MH for $100, OtherFirmB can release the SlasherX at 10MH for $50.  At that point, are people buying the HasherX or the SlasherX?  What about when SlasherX cuts prices to $35 on the heels of HasherX dropping to $75?  How much margin can a domestic company drop to and still compete while ensuring they are paying salaries, paying for workspace, paying healthcare (go USA! ), etc.?  

Regarding canceling My previous preorder and reordering the fury on the new Privé structure. I just want to give props to Amanda at Gaw. she was awsome through and through.

There was a glitch in the shipping system please disregard any emails you received about the pre-orders. It was sending out gibberish

Hey guys, we will be able to elaborate on the power request more later today.

But anyone can get a full refund if it does not meet their needs. Or you could send it to host to host it for you, so we could absorb the power cost
