No.  It matters if I am there sometime between 15:00 and 15:10.  Nothing else matters.

If I am there from 14:30 to 14:59 I am not allowed to leave because of a no show.  If they are there at 15:05 they are not allowed to complain of a no show before 15:11.
We disagree on everything and always ProfMac, it's incredible. I remember me criticising you on creating webpages in c++... But anyway...

@ProfMac: it matters since that the appointment is a very difficult exam you have to study for.

BFL have made everyone's refund trigger finger very twitchy when there is even the faintest whiff of over promising and under delivering.
This is not the case. Here we are talking about:
- No proof of anything
- No real shipping date
- 25% of the initial investment that seems like to be becoming a best case scenario

There this big thing, that is the state, that protects me from my stupidity. Hey state, thanks. I've always paid my taxes (i've a business), so, thanks!
Btw, the amount of taxes i've paid and the $ i have on order are of the same magnitude. Interesting tough.

I've filed a FTC compilant for my amount. I would like you guys to do the same. It's a free, painless process that is really relaxing (compared to reading these forums) and takes about 15 minutes. You can do it here:

https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/GettingStarted?NextQID=70&Url=%23%26panel1-6

Also, i need help on deciding who to contact on this huge list, to prosecute offenders of consumer laws (since that it looks like that it can be done privately and not):
http://www.usa.gov/directory/stateconsumer/california.shtml

I have to take a flight tonight, so i can't do it. However i will probably spend a lot of time tomorrow calling them via Skype.

@btc_uzr; as you said, if they delivery anything at all. I'm really negative about it. They have show us nothing, so i just want my money back, rather than waiting and hoping as with butterflylabs.

@ProfMac: it matters since that the appointment is a very difficult exam you have to study for.

@Minor Miner: exactly. Now i wonder why it's taking 2 Weeks™ to have a picture of that something promised a few pages ago.

@winit: they have promised a LOT. For now, they have done NOTHING. I don't see why we should be able to have a "live tracking" of what's happening, especially since that everything that has to do with chip is under NDA, remember?

This was known "traffic arbitrage".  Not the founder.  Yes, and the bios highlight the best company names also, not necessarily the most recent, that is typical of a bio.
If you can dig up dirt on Uniquify or TSMC as not being capable of designing this chip and producing and packaging this chip, then I am interested.
Do not much care that the head of sales may not know that much about shipping physical products as long as Ciarra does.
I've yet to see a single picture of anything, let it be a fan, a screw, something.
They would have delivered this week, right? So, where is everything?
I think that is a fair question.   They would not deliver to the office but there should be stuff at the Montreal assembler.   Obviously, there would be cases/fans etc. there by now.   I am not sure if people are there, but a few pictures would go a long way.   Or maybe a few screen shots from TSMC's great order system where you can monitor the status of your chip through the process.   I think CIARA Tech has the same type of portal that you can see your job status.
That seems like a fair request.

The release this week did say they were going to provide a live tracking portal so I assume that is on the way.

When I have an appointment to meet someone between 15:00 ... 15:10, it does not matter where I am at 14:30.

Meh.  Seems to be kink.com.  So what?  They hired a guy that worked for bondage video producer.  Questionable career choice, but not really germane to the question at hand.   I don't think he was on the "team" until a few weeks ago, IIRC.

Does everyone really expect a prompt refund from a company founded by a guy who's claim to fame is spending the better part of the last decade promoting affiliate porn websites?
Could you elaborate?

Does everyone really expect a prompt refund from a company founded by a guy who's claim to fame is spending the better part of the last decade promoting affiliate porn websites? Your best bet may be to try and cancel on the grounds that the verbiage had been listed as "shipping Oct 20-30" in the forums and on their website while the Dec 31st date was buried in fine print, but you would have to push pretty hard (pun partially intended) to get any kind of legal recourse through. They most likely aren't just going to give you your money back, there's a reason they weaseled that "guaranteed" date into the fine print.

When it comes to Sierra upgrades: Offering upgrades from the BJ case to the Sierra case for Batch 1 customers would be a nice gesture, but personally I don't care about the case since it will be easy to make the modules work with any off the shelf case anyway.

I shouldn't have used the word "case". What I meant, and should have explained, was a Sierra ready to be fully populated with the forthcoming MPP miniboards (i.e. with boards, fans, power supply, etc...).  In other words, ready to be hashing the same day that the MPP miniboards arrive with no additional customer expense.

I know some people think that's trivial, but if the profitability of these machines is marginal at best, saving that hassle and a few hundred bucks per box in extra hardware costs is helpful.

Again, I'm not saying this is *the* solution, it's a step in the right direction...

Only problem is legally they may only need to refund the US amount you paid.
I've already opened a thread to gather people to make a cause against hashfast with, but there where no success until now. However i'm proceeding by my own, i'm having a good email conversation with a lawyer in this moments...
