Customer service is relatively good. Sometimes it takes 2 days to get a response from their team. After hearing about all the problems with the hosted miners and UI system being finicky upon changing mining pools and/or restarting downed miners - I decided not to purchase any of the Gen A's. ROI is not possible with LTC/BTC ratio so low and LTC difficulty rising by the day. Just doesn't make any sense to drop that much money for delusions of grandeur. But...if the prices continue to fall as we get into July...then perhaps I'll reconsider. For now, I have no intentions of buying anymore Scrypt ASICs. At least from GAW.

When I put the data in Coinwarz, I get;

http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/litecoin-mining-calculator/?h=54000.00&p=2000.00&pc=0.0&pf=0.00&d=10307.92915087&r=50.00000000&er=0.01709036&btcer=567.43000000&hc=4600.00

Based on a static calculation and hosted, that gives roi 1 year = 14.000,- usd (and then you have the machine after) even when diff go up, still looks like ok roi, no ?

This is actually pretty neat. If I'm logged in to GAW site - as a founder no less - I have HIGHER prices than if I open the site anonymously. And the prices have been raised since I first noticed the drop - this is not the first time that happened, software was blamed previously, bait'n'switch is the scientific term. Black widow Week 5 was 900, then 950, now 1100 or 1200 depending on who you are. Not sure about others, wasn't paying attention.

I noticed the same thing the other day http://www.reddit.com/r/dogemining/comments/282om2/fury_asic_13_mhs_for_9896/ci6tuu2. I'm not a founder but a fairly early adopter and have enough reward points for a discount now. Dunno if that could be it.

Hah I was right, you are talking to each other here, this is like a care bear thread.
And you said one thing right. They made a million sales and only you 2 are sitting here working your keyboards.

Let me see if I get this right - you don't have an answer to the difficulty-vs-power question, right? Just reminding in case you forgot.

I'm not a tech guy, why are you asking me that?

Let me remind you how this works, because it seems you've never bought anything in your life:

1. You buy a product
2. You don't like it
3. You contact the seller to ask for RMA
4. You give back the gear and get your money

Here's how a dumb person acts:

1. Buys a product
2. Gives negative feedback before even receiving an item
3. Gets it and decides he doesn't like it
4. Calls seller a fraud, and punches the keyboard all day in anger
4. Never really gives back the item cause he likes both the product and playing a victim

See any similarities?

Holy shit man this makes so much sense...

Also kinda on an unrelated notice but what good would a ZenController do for me? I'm about to order the $110 miners to try them out and thought it would be much better to buy both at once.

I have personally reached out to the last few users that have issues to find out what happened, and see if I can resolve the issue. Most have not responded, but I will insure some kind of resolution when the day.

At this point my issues to date have been resolved satisfactorily. I've not received confirmation of shipping yet but at this point everything is back on track and I await shipping confirmation of my order which I don't expect until the beginning of next week.

I hope the pedal doesn't come off the gas again when it comes to customer service. I was very surprised when it did. I will say once you decide to engage the customer and take care of the issues, you do it right.

Thanks

WTF...

I paid 129 then not even when I get my product they drop it 20 bucks...

http://www.gawminers.com/the-fury-1-3-mh-s-asic-scrypt-miner-week-five/

Calling it a fathers day things. HS.

Yeah they've been fiddling with prices all day long. I could swear I also saw a 10% coupon mentioned but can't find it anymore.

I believe you because I saw it as well.

I feel the website changes every hour on pricing. I'll have to start taking screen shots.
I'm still debating on ordering from them. I've read a lot of bad shit lately.

Wow they change their prices really fast, Falcon yesterday was priced at $1800 for the week 5's.....

Small advice: when they reduce prices and you hesitate to buy, it's good to put the miner in your cart.
That way, if the price goes up later, it will still be the old price in your cart.

It's bullshit that ALL zeus chip miners have depreciated so quick, not giving minimum two weeks in between shipments to let miners get their ROI with room to spare especially since no one is making new scrypt coins anymore.

Speculation: Maybe the GEN A's are the step that KNC needed to start releasing the miners? KNC can't release their miners until network hashrates came up. It would cripple 'scrypto'.

I just took a look at GAW pricing...

Remember the shitstorm after Gridseed prices dropped? How Gridseed were the bad guys and GAW couldn't honor price protection etc. Let's see who gets the blame for Week 5 prices. 25% below Week 4 in some cases.

GAW get senseless praise! read forum, CEO have it out with Gridseed CEO, now they sell Gridseed machines and use Gridseed price strategy.

GAW not change industry, industry change GAW!

GAW have been been selling Gridseed well before their other ASIC products, nothing new here. I don't get your point at all.

Presumably they had a conflict because of the price drop and GAW "fought" for a compensation for their customers, and Gridseed didn't give in, and GAW stopped selling Gridseed products, and then Gridseed begged GAW to start selling it again, or something like that. I don't remember the part of them getting back together in business and how that compensation demand ended.

thank you moon, this is what I talk about

I wonder why GAW bothers to sell outside the US when there are clearly shipping issues when doing so. If I were them I'd put an end to that for future orders.

I am outside the US and GAW shipped my fury in no time like 36hrs total when dispatched from china

The Zen controller took a couple of days more, I presume it came from the US.

Which week did you order??
Did both the Asic and the ZenController ship thru FedEx?

That's been the pattern since week 1, so it will continue.

Weeks 1-2-3 were not as steep IIRC. Week 3 to 4 was a big drop and Week 3 got delayed so became Week 4 at 50% higher price. Zeus or Fedex - don't recall which - got blamed for that. If this is going to be a weekly occurrence they need to get creative with excuses.
