GAW attempted to scam me for several thousand dollars and it took about 2 months to get any kind of resolution. I order 3 war machines and got Zeus Lightning's in return.
Attempted means that they finally didn't, right?

Here's a thread where you ask for help with a WAR MACHINE, so looks like you got it.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8798630

From another perspective your order god mixed up and you got a different miner, but they finally sent you the real one.

You can contact Amber or Josh who will at least get someone to look at your ticket, but they don't resolve anything themselves. The elbow grease is done by other people, which isn't saying much considering how long it takes to get something done. What really burned my biscuits was to see Josh (the ceo) attend a bitcoin miners conference in Las Vegas on the customers dime.  Avoid doing business with these people, it wasn't worth it in my experience.

You'd like Josh to personally go and pack your miner? This is a big company they have departments there responsible for certain things.
Please don't lie, he went to the conference on his own dime. An owner of one of the biggest cloud mining companies doesn't have to borrow cash for a local flight.

GAW attempted to scam me for several thousand dollars and it took about 2 months to get any kind of resolution. I order 3 war machines and got Zeus Lightning's in return. They did this to several customers (there's a thread over at Zeus about it). Finally when I threatened to file a fraud complaint with the FTC, things started to move quickly.  But in the end, all Zeus units arrived scratched, dusty, random used cables tossed in the box, in one case they sent me a Thunder X3 and tried to pawn it off as a Lightning X6 because "Lightning" was written in a grease pen on the side of the box. One of the Lightnings was different, it had a different form factor, chip voltages, and usb board. With no documentation or help from GAW it was a nightmare to find the correct version of cgminer (or bfgminer) and command line settings that would work with them. I'll never order from GAW again and would suggest others to stay away from them as well.  If you've been GAW'd, here are my suggestions:

1) Keep opening tickets with complaints (average response time is about 3 days)
2) Send photo’s of what you received to the support people and attach photos to the support tickets.
3) Tell them you’re going to file a fraud complaint with the FTC and your bank.
4) Calling them on the phone does no good, they tell you they will “have to get back to you” and never do.
5) Keep posting in the hashtalk forums with pictures of your order and the junk you may have received. Pictures is the key to hashtalk, otherwise the local yokels there will just ban you or delete your post.

If you want to purchase mining contract just choose wisely. It does not matter as long as pick some good reputable company from the top. Don't risk your money by sticking to some random less known business which can disappear tomorrow.

Yes this week the MultiHashlet got a negative payout, let's be honest. GAWMiners gave credit to everyone who has the Multihashlet, they want us to make money and will forever respect their value.

I'll continue with them, I'm making money.

It's easy to blame a company, at least blame with truth.

LTCGear has made their reputation, I give them that. But GAWMiners are slowly gaining a solid reputation too.
I'm new to the board but there's a lot more topics about GAW than LTCgear. Maybe this doesn't mean reputation, but GAW is certainly more popular.
I read about their million dollar transactions long before registering here.
If you are going to get into cloud mining then GAW is one of the few trustworthy (IMO) companies that you can invest in. They have been around for a long time and have had very few issues. They are large enough so that their actual mining ability cannot reasonably be put into question as anyone who owns any hashlets (their cloud miners) can see that the source of their bitcoin is from mined blocks.

I totally agree with this, I have skin in both GAW and LTCgear, two very different products in my opinion. I am happy with both so far, there are Pro's and Con's to both also. GAW has better transparency and marketing, I feel safer investing with them, where as you get a better ROI with LTCgear but less Transparency it almost appears to be run by a one man band operation, however I received my fourth payout yesterday from LTCgear and Chris has been very quick to reply with any support queries etc. Both are excellent Cloud Mining companies in my opinion and I would recommend anyone that is thinking about getting into cloud mining to try either one of them.

+1
These companies are completely different, but both have proven to be legit and solvent. You really have to do the math and pick the contract you find most interesting.

For all those that are not sure about the payout or whatever what with GAWMiners, Since a month I post my daily payout and I've included a tutorial on my blog and my facebook page. With all honesty I can say, that's work !

you are correct, although gaw is more eficient than doing it at home, ie it costs them less, yet they charge 10 times the cost of doing at home. and again i dont know why you would irrationally justify that, other than you are a paid lacky of gaw or bought into their brainwashing forum where all info is white washed. it wasn't stupid to buy from gaw if they honored there product release info and reduced costs so that the most paid for maintenance was the release date itself and things only got better from there. but they are taking over 10% which is theft.. things got so bad they took 100% of payouts(hashers got 0 btc)..FLAWED FLAWED FLAWED. THATS THEFT... there obviously should be entire threads on profits in there forum with calculations, the only reason not to would be  a dishonest reason. and the declining hosting fees should be extremely transparent, certainly not up even with conversions. and not over 0.013 or 10%. if they cant do business without taking hashing profits then they shouldn't have pretended to be in the business of doing that.
You've got some pretty interestingly flawed calculations of your own in your rant.  Agreeing with Phil that they charge $0.10/kWh to host and then stating they charge 10 times the cost of doing it at home implies you can get $0.01/kWh at home.  Good luck with that.

Hashlet Genesis is $.01 per 5 GH/s per day - or $2.00 per 1TH/s per day.  That's the equivalent of running 1W/GH/s (i.e. Antminer S2) equipment at $0.0835 power costs, or 0.78W/GH/s (i.e. Antminer S3) equipment at $0.107 power costs.

If your power costs are cheaper than that, by all means, run your own hardware.

Taking 10%, 20%, whatever percentage is not theft.  You purchase the hashlet, you agree to the fee structure.  It is plainly obvious to anyone who bothers to actually look at the fee structures that there can, and likely will, come a point where the fees are greater than the earnings from the miner.  This is absolutely no different than what happens to the home miner.  In fact, if you take a look at a number of threads right here in the Speculation forum, you'll see plenty of people debating whether or not they should keep their miners running.  The expectation is that as difficulty goes up, the value of BTC will correspondingly go up.  Sadly, this is not always the case.

Whether you purchase hardware and do it yourself from home, or you purchase cloud hashing, you are making an investment.  There is no guarantee that your investment will be profitable for you.
