gaw miners takes half of what you mine and keeps it for themselves

Today at 2:50 PM   Payout   0.00040279 BTC

Today at 2:50 PM   Payout   0.00037339 BTC
Today at 2:50 PM   Maintenance Fee      -0.00023176 BTC

worst customer service ever....if you believe they are legit try going on there hashtalk site and pointing out to them that they are taking half of your mining profits. they will ban you so fast. the whole site is fake posotive trolling. they list there fees by the day, like 8 cents a day per gh (insane) which is double the price of residential electric and if u had 30 gh you would be paying double plus buying them a hashlet per month...sorry buy that is more than maintenance fees. its a rip off

It is not really accurate to say they are keeping the maintenance fee to themselves. This is what they charge to keep your miners running, mainly electricity. As mentioned above, the BTC amount of your fee will depend on the price of bitcoin as they have to pay their bills in terms of dollars.

You should also remember that they continue to put more efficient miners on their pool, making the maintenance fee go down over time

no the maintenance fee has not gone down once since i started- not once at all since the start.. this is fake pro positive trolling the same thing they do on their own forum... it is not legit... they should not be making a buck off of hosting and then try and sell the idea that the cost is maintenance... its profit....yes you can buy a miner and if it runs 1 year you would make 4 times what u would get from gaw... but my point is that when the calculations are performed , and i have posted them-i dont have time to now- that the math is never wrong and therefore if they were not being dishonest it would not matter to post those results on the forum... but fake positive trolling is not legit facts, 10% tops. there original release was 2% and thats from gaw themselves. so dont tell me 50% is necessary

if i read the TOS correctly there are no real miners. it states they are virtual.

That's because they used to host the miners they were selling and allow people to have them shipped if they wanted to resign from hosting services.
GAW advertised Hashlets as "cloud miners" which was a bit confusing and people thought they own real hardware that can be shipped to them, which of course wasn't true, so they said the miners are virtual.

The maintenance fee is based on the current BTC/USD rate... so when BTC is down against the dollar, you earn less. It's simple math.

By the way, what poor hashlet did you buy? The Zen Hashlet pays out the most... that's what you should have bought.

Also... the 8 cents a day is more than just electric. It pays for cooling, salaries, 100% uptime, software development, and a lot more. But hey... if you want to go out and buy physical hardware, set it up, bounce around to different pools to find a good payout, deal with power outages, or network outages, or a hundred other things that can go wrong with home mining... sell me your hashlets cheap.

maintance fee is 0.0008/MH/day but it is subject to change
price of Mh is 15.99$
you are mining bitcoins via scrypt coins using hashlet (new algos in development)

I believed that they will use Antminer S3 / SP30 for mining directly Bitcoins... Undecided

'All that glitters is not gold'

Hello !

I saw the GAW's new product, the Hashlet.
There are some info I can't find about this.
I was on chat with the support from GAW, but I had bad luck to encounter a totally "grunt", who started to work from.. yesterday...

OK, I want to know :
- If there is possible to mine Bitcoins with the Hashlet. Or another algo (ex.: X11) , like GAW advertised on the announce.
- how much it is the maintenance fee ?
- if it is possible to use Hashlet to mine for Bitcoins, how much hashing power (GH/s, TH/s) you will get for a max size Hashlet ? Right now you can get 100 MH/s @ $1599.99
-it is the Hashlet a combo-miner like the early Gridseed units or you must use diff type of Hashlet (designed for scrypt / SHA256)?
-it is Hashlet like the CEX.io , where you can buy GH/s and keep or trade it for a undefined period of time, or it is just another cloud mining contract ?

If you don't know the answer, please provide me at least an email to contact GAW. I already wrote a ticket about this couple days ago, but nobody replied me..

I love that company! Preordered a fury and some time later I came out of money, so till 2 hours of the batch shipping Amanda cancelled and refunded my order. Very nice support, but I knocked to them almost a day.

Hi,

Maybe I'm a bit impatient, but I've been waiting for over a week for the items I've purchased to leave their warehouse. The items said "same day shipping" on their web-site, but they have completely missed that. I've made calls, and received responses saying that they should ship "today", but that wasn't true. I've e-mailed them, and received replies that they would check into it, but I've received nothing since then.

Well, that was a wasted week. I've cancelled my orders, and hopefully I won't have to spend any additional time trying to wrap up that purchasing nightmare.

Unless you are more patient than I am, and certainly don't believe that "same day" means plus or minus "x" number of days, I can't recommend purchasing from these folks.

Hello,
I would be happy to look into your order to make sure the rest of your experience runs smoothly! Please let me know what your order number is. I am sincerely sorry for the delay in shipping. Your order should have been shipped out same day as advertised. I will be looking into this: ) thank you for bringing this to our attention!
Sincerely,
Amber

@customers with these orders

Would you care to share the amount of compensation that has been offered?

Hat's off to GAW Miners, they are offering to credit the difference between the old and new price e.g. choice of $1200 refund (or BTC if ordered in BTC) or store credit, for customers that ordered via GAW.

I received the email myself and can only say a big thanks to Amber and Josh for sorting this out for all those involved.

Hi All,

We have addressed all of our Customers that have purchased the SP30 before the specification change.

Thank you for sharing your concerns, we will make this right.

Stay GAWsome!

dr gero is right.

Legally speaking, it is gaw´s responsibility to deliver product as advertised or give the client the option for a refund (or try and compensate the customer for the different specs, this needs customer approval though).

Having a mining community forum helps mitigate against buyers getting burned as we can all share our experience of sellers. The above text about bankruptcy and ridiculous demands, really? I don't consider a refund/credit being a ridiculous demand, unless you are dealing with a shady company, hence my first point.

Josh and Amber have been in touch from GAW, regarding the SP30. I will let you know how I get on.

I have purchased just over 3.2Gh scrypt from GAW to date. There have been a few small bumps in the road, yes. They may have some delays in getting to your ticket. Afterall, the company does some pretty INSANE volume. But they have ALWAYS come through for me in the end. Bar none, no excuses, they come through. Try getting compensated for late delivery from another reseller and let me know how it goes!

Try getting a refund for your KNC Titan, BFL Monarch, Alpha Tech, Flower Tech, etc. The list goes on! GAW is the only company that I know of who will make good on a pre-order refund and/or work with you to make it right.

It's no secret the manufacturer is having trouble with the SP30. Unfortunately this is NOT uncommon. Look at what just happened with the S3 miners? Pre-order hashrates are subject to change, like it or not. Your ordering a product that DOES NOT EXIST yet.

I don't agree. If a company advertises in black and white to sell a product with specifications and price stated clearly, they have to honour that order. If they cannot due to manufacturer issues (between GAW and Spondoolies) this is not my problem at all. I expect a refund option or credit option for the difference in specification, from GAW, not Spondoolies. This is consumer law, as the contract of sale is between me and GAW.

Very reasonable opinion. Roll Eyes

Question for you champ: do you really think GAW has the cash reserves to bail everyone out? What makes you think they won't just fold and declare bankruptcy instead?

You will not be the first person to be burned by an asic company under-delivering nor will you be the last. You can either whine about it, making ridiculous demands of GAW (who are simply acting as a middle man), or you can get on with it and try to minimize your losses.
