knightlife999, I applaud you for taking the time out of your day and life to do this for the community.
The people that still have a vested interest in this should drop you some btc for your troubles.
Having said that, I have a few thoughts and questions that I would like to point out from someone that has already requested a refund and will never do business with TerraHash or Amir.
1) You told them that you would be coming to the office, they accepted and said, anytime, everyone knew you were going, but was only allowed to be there for 10-15 minutes? Why? Why would Amir only allow you to be there for such a short time knowing you had come out of your way for the community, for something that honestly they should have done from the start. Their customers should not have to beg for a video that they themselves said they would post and then to just get hurried away like that?
2) Nobody has mentioned this but TerraHash has used "we" in regards to it's operation, as if the team at TerraHash consists of more than just Amir. Did you see anybody else at their office? If so what were their names, titles, etc.
3) Did you personally see any evidence of their other 3 purchases of 10,000 Avalon chips? Did you ask about them?
4) I am not familiar with California laws regarding taking pictures of the inside of companies, but why do you think he asked you not to do so? If it's a crappy little office and he is ashamed of it, the community will understand, it's a startup, we get it, the less they spend on frivolous things like really nice furniture, the more they can spend on R&D or other things that really make sense when money and time is tight, but the question remains why did he not allow you to take pictures of the rest of the office. Did he ask you not to speak about it and if so why?
To me, your report convinces me even more that I made the right choice in requesting a refund when I did.
You can bash me all you want, call me a paid shill, whatever you want, but I have had the displeasure of doing business with companies like this in the past and to me they are nothing but bad news.
I wish you all good luck including Amir and terrahash with this adventure, I hope it works out well for all of you.
I'm just going to call you stupid and maybe a little disgruntled that you went through all the hassle of getting a refund that will likely get to you the same time we get our miners.
Either way, without doing much work I'll try to address your "Concerns"
1.) He showed up right as Amir has an appointment and was already told that he could come back and finish the "meeting" when there was more time available. (Can't just let someone wonder about your office while no one is there)
2.) Terrahash probably has many contacts and refers to everyone that is helping with their production as "we". That being said I don't need to meet every employee if I'm meeting with the CEO (Jesus Christ the questions get worse)
3.) Did you not read his post at all?
He also said that he would allow me to take pictures of their bulk chip invoices when I returned.
4.) Who cares what the reason is, it is his right and honestly who cares what the tile in their office bathroom looks like. We saw boards, they have stated they will let us see all the stuff the really matters. Why do you persist on being a complete tool and requesting to see things that have no value in the production of what we ordered?
Hopefully I saved knightlife some time and gave everyone else a quick laugh at your expense.....
Bargraphics,
You sound pretty angry about all this, I am just pointing out facts as I see them.
K, back to your answers....
1.) He showed up right as Amir has an appointment and was already told that he could come back and finish the "meeting" when there was more time available. (Can't just let someone wonder about your office while no one is there)
So your saying that Amir's entire customer base is less important, then some appointment, not to mention that he called twice, no answer before he got there, classic example of someone who is evading.
2.) Terrahash probably has many contacts and refers to everyone that is helping with their production as "we". That being said I don't need to meet every employee if I'm meeting with the CEO (Jesus Christ the questions get worse)
No, terrahash has specifically said "we" in the context of his "team" as if to make it sound like his company is bigger than what it really is, and even mentioned that he would upload a page outlining his "team" on the website soon. Surprise, surprise no team page and now we find out the he may be stretching the truth about being a 1 person startup.
3.) Did you not read his post at all?
He also said that he would allow me to take pictures of their bulk chip invoices when I returned.
Your evading the question for him, it would have taken literally seconds for him to open the email and allow him to take a picture, or god forbid be proactive about it and have them printed out and ready when he walked in the door to appease the naysayers, or even further, take 20 seconds to post it the forum so that people like me don't have to ask about it.
4.) Who cares what the reason is, it is his right and honestly who cares what the tile in their office bathroom looks like. We saw boards, they have stated they will let us see all the stuff the really matters. Why do you persist on being a complete tool and requesting to see things that have no value in the production of what we ordered?
I care what the reason is, they still have my money and they still have 100's of thousands of dollars and im sure alot of btc that this community entrusted with him.
If he had been honest about everything from the get go, he would not have a 18%+ cancellation rate, and numerous people on this board selling their pre-orders.
You and some of the others keep calling me names, im stupid, im a tool, im a paid shill, all I am doing is asking questions, questions that you don't like, questions that you should be asking as well.
Take a step back for a second and take yourself out of the equation for a second, forget that you have any risk in this at all and look at the bare facts, about the way that he is running his business.
To me it smacks of ineptitude and evasive behavior.
btw, my offer still stands, if you or anybody else wants to buy me out to shut me up, put your money where your mouth is.
