Send steamboat an email with a signed message from the address you used to send payment. Refunds are long gone, but that might get his attention.

It's the information that isn't in this thread we need answers to.  If I ask to have my stuff shipped will anyone even read the message?  All of my other messages have been ignored.  I have received no replies from steamboat since he took my money.  I was never offered a refund.  I have received no offer to have my hardware shipped.

I log on here to find out my orders were supposed to be refunded already and that other people are getting emails from steamboat.  I've asked repeatedly how to get in touch with him because everything I've sent to date has been ignored.

It never ceases to amaze me how people aren't able to make decisions for themselves without having every question in the universe answered first.

Sometimes you have to make decisions without having all the bases covered, and you need to trust yourself that you can and will make as correct a decision as you can.

It may be because I've been in mangament several times in various companies that I am able to take a limited set of data and make the most out of it.

This thread is now 183 pages. If you're not able to, based on the information herein, to make a semi-proper decision foryourself without having additional questions answered... pheewweeey...

There is no hand holding in the investment business. Maybe you shouldn't have done it.  Maybe you didn't understand what you were getting into, who's to blame?

I'm of the opinion that ultimately, whatever crap happens to me based on something I decided to get into, is my own fault.  This makes me act and decide things in a certain way down the line, things that hopefully rectifies a shitty situation for myself somewhat. I certainly knew what I was getting into, and I knew it was a gamble... isn't it that which made the project so exciting to follow?

The way I see it; Two options were laid out.  One, get the miner now with the firmware as-is (but fixed hw error), or wait for usb boot loader (which I personally think is impossible to get working).

I went with as is, because I have the knowledge and skill(?) to get hold of and use a PicKit3 to reprogram the pic should it become necessary (ie the usb bootloader is working and there are additional optimizations available).

Sorry if this comes across harsh and or rude or something... I just think it's the way it is at the moment

Has anyone been able to get a reply from steamboat?  Most people just report things shipping or refunds showing up.  Has anyone actually received a reply to a question from him?

Chad

If anyone has any real life contact or incorporation details for Steve (Steamboat) or Liquid Synergy Designs please PM me.

Thanks.

I have no idea about the hosting option and the goings on there. But frankly the TTL of these miners are near the end, so personally I'd go with getting them in hand asap and get them hasing.

Does that mean you think he wont offer the hosting option? - or that its just wasting a load of hashing time waiting for some kind of optimum setup? 
Its quite crazy to not be given an update and to receive no reply from emails sent .

You need to fire off an e-mail to Steamboat (asicbuy at gmail.com) and ask to have your miners shipped without the usb boot loader in order to get them asap.

im very confused here ... i asked for refund, i didnt received .... now people getting their miners ... i paid for assembly too, i was in batch 1 .... no email .. no nothing ...

Steamboat is up to his old tricks it seems, leaving us in the dark.

STEAMBOAT: How about an update on the status the the hosting for those that are asking. And more importantly to me personally, WHEN can we finally get to assembly refunds?

And what about those poor souls still waiting for a USB boot loader to have their miners shipped? I think you owe it to them to spell it out options regarding the USB boot loader. There is clearly some question about it's importance, as well as the feasibility if implementing it in the time frame allotted. (My personal opinion is that NO ONE should wait for a PIC16 USB boot loader to be written... I'm just saying.)

Great job shipping miners. And of course I realize you are terminally busy. But can we please have an answer to vital questions?

Pretty please?

Assembly refunds......

I paid for hosting before I got my chips refunded. Can't believe even if I didn't they wouldn't be hashing at the moment

Is that really it? They are already mining over 6GH/s, I doubt new firmware will make them fast enough to compensate for the lost time waiting. Am I missing something?

Did you get any kind of response from him other than the shipping confirmation?  I haven't been able to get a response from him by e-mail or through the forum.  What e-mail address did you use?

Do they ship with the latest firmware or what the pics were originally flashed with before the boards went to production?

Have 32 of my 68 Klondikes hashing, still working some of the bugs out of our set up.

I don't have them up to full speed yet.

Seems like I only have 1 bad one out of 32.

Emailed steamboat to ship them without USB boot loader, less than 12 hrs later I get shipping confirmation, flashing the boot loader later seems easy with a pickit, I'd suggest anyone else to just have them shipped.

It looks like the only thing missing now is the i2c functionality to allow you to chain the miners together and only use 1 usb cable.  If you don't mind connecting each miner to its own usb port I don't know what else you'd be missing.

I'm debating on moving ahead and just asking him to ship my miners, if they are fully functional with low hardware errors, I don't see a reason to have to reprogram the firmware.

Should there be any reason to wait?

It's great that some are shipping, but I don't understand why the hosting isn't being sorted too.  I paid for hosting, didn't get a refund even though I applied, and now I'm sat watching other people receive their miners.  So I lost out by not getting a refund and now I'm losing out by having to wait for the hosting to be set up.  We need some kind of published list so that we can see what order things are being done in.  I certainly hope that hosted miners will be set up in order of priority rather than doing all of the shipped miners first.

Steamboat
For those of us that didnt get refunds- will you still be offering the hosting option? Any estimate on how soon they will be up and running?

Good to see these shipping out. Now how about an update on the USB bootloader and I2C code? How soon will the work on these be completed??
