From the utter lack of communication, the only conclusion I can think of: Steamboat is intentionally staying silent in an attempt to get every single person to request a refund. If this is the case, there would be no way to prove it, no way to establish negative intentions, and no way to hold steamboat accountable for the entire catastrophe. If everyone requests a refund, then steamboat can simply give us partial refunds, recoup as much of his losses as possible, and move on to never do anything like this ever again.
I was holding out up until today. My investment was pretty minuscule, especially compared to others, and losing the small amount of money wasn't that big of a deal as long as I got some type of hardware to play with (Even if that hardware was 100% useless). I have gotten to the point where I truly believe not one single miner will ever be produced, and steamboat is working towards a 100% user requested refund status.
I have requested a refund as of today, 10/01/2013. Now we shall see if anything happens.
If he wants everyone to take a refund, he should just say so. In fact, he just say something, ANYTHING.
Basically, he's hoping some miracle will happen that will keep him from having to refund the pathetic 25% assembly he already offered. Which coincidentally he's never mentioned how to claim.
If no update is forthcoming in the next day or so, I WILL begin taking action. If I'm gonna get screwed on assembly, I'm gonna make it pretty ugly. REALLY ugly. No more Mr. Nice guy.
