yes, then don't order.
in fact, you can blame me for advising them not to take cc's. like i said in my thread, i had orders of 3 Jupiter's in at KNC, and 8 H boards with BitFury. i never intended to order that many as a whole simply b/c i was playing the Ms. Fickle game of hedging my bets across multiple companies fully intending to cancel all but one order with whom i deemed the winner in my orderbook in the end. so i artificially inflated the internal expectations at both these companies about what the demand was going to be going forward.
i consider myself a pretty rational actor and i knew if i was doing this that there were a great many of you doing the same thing. thus, i told HashFast not to take cc's or paypal. yes, it may decrease orders at the beginning but it will eliminate their internal volatility going into production. they will be able to plan their expenses much more precisely. HashFast doesn't want fickle customers jumping in and out of the order queue causing all sorts of headache and hassle. they want committed customers who really understand what they're doing and are willing to wait until the end of December at the latest before they request a refund.
i really think one of those companies taking cc or paypal could undergo a walletectomy by having a darkhorse company like HashFast come out with a superior chip product. yes, it may be just vaporware right now but tapeout is going to occur within a matter of days which is a significant milestone and they have additional plans in the works.
That's fraud you've just publicly admitted to, I hope you realise that. I've been telling people to use card so they are protected, not manipulate the financial standing of companies and their anticipated cash flow to hedge bets.
are you really that much of an idiot?
let's look at what you just accused me of. do you really think i was trying to manipulate upwards the financial standing of KNC by making one 3 Jupiter order of $21000 in the midst of the hundreds of orders they have on the books amounting to in the $millions of USD's? only to then turn on them and "yank" that $21000 out from underneath them and topple their entire enterprise?
do you really think i was trying to manipulate upwards the financial standing of Megabig by making one 8 H board order of $40000 in the midst of the hundreds of orders they have on the books amounting to in the $millions of USD's? only to then turn on them and "yank" that $40000 out from underneath them and topple their entire enterprise?
we should all laugh at such childish accusations coming from the KNC hooter.
I'm sorry, I'm not here for an argument and i'm nobody's fool, I've got nothing against Hashfast, pro-KnC or not, as a miner I want competition so we can pay affordable prices without being scammed or having a few controlling the market.
But let's call it for what it is. You are laying bets on pre-orders in which companies rely on securing funds to cover NRE, that's non-refundable engineering costs with no intention of committing to 2/3 of those proposed orders, therefor two of those three orders were pre-meditated fraudulent purchases.
It's there in black and white, your own words, you have no integrity.
as this market has evolved over the last couple of months my first order was for KNC as they looked like a good company. in fact, i've read all your analyses and your open day thread. you've provided alot of good, sincere information and i based my order off of that. i was truly excited about the first 28nm company to evolve.
then time rolled by and BitFury's for October become available and it started to become clear they had a viable competitively priced product. so yes, i then placed an order with them. just like everyone else's conventional wisdom around here dictated. yes, i knew i'd have to cancel one of them down the line as i'm not THAT much into mining.
then HashFast came along. i like what i read. i decided to cancel my Jupiter orders the day before i go visit them. they're close by which would be really convenient in picking up my orders. i see they're legit when i'm there. i decide to lay down a check for BabyJets right then. i go home. they realize who i am. a rep from the company wants to sell me chips. then they figure i might sell some rigs for them. we're back and forth for a week and a half trying to figure out how i might help them. they realize i understand this marketplace and mining and would like guidance. we only come to this sponsorship/endorsement agreement 2 days ago. yes, i then cancel my BitFury order to, in my mind, align myself fully with the company and product i truly believe in.
to say i have no integrity b/c i used the refund policies of KNC and Megabig,
as they have publicly promised and as they were intended, is childish on your part.
in fact, don't you find it hypocritical that the reason you're recommending for ppl here on the forum to use cc's is so that they can do exactly what i just did?
