Okay, Ladies, a lot has been written here.
But there are things I really don't get.
If I would like to buy a car, I'd do my due diligence. This includes to get information about the company which sells the car or which intends to sell the car. Furthermore, I'd get some information about the market. And frankly: For the money I spent for the Bitmine-Rigs is as much as I would have to pay for a car. So I DID do my DD. And I _did know_ that there is a risk that Bitmine may be late in delivery. That does not come as a surprise.
I also see that this is a small company. And everybody who ever was working in a business which is developing fast does know that small companies may fail.
So yes: I am disappointed that my rigs haven't been sent out yet. And I am not surprised that this is the case. And I am not surprised that they did things wrong and try to get out of the mess by not telling everything along the line of truthfulness. So what? We all could have known, we all SHOULD have known. But greed very often leads to blindness. And a lot of you people who are writing here angrily seem to be also angry about the fact that your greed was bigger than your common sense.
When I ordered with Bitmine, I was fully aware about past failures of the company. And so I also ordered with other companies. And guess what: Only few delivered in time.
And all the talk about ROI: I am a firm believer in Bitcoins. I'm convinced that their value will rise in the future. So who can really tell me what the future proceedings will be? That is reading tea leaves...
Oh, and especially to "Giorgio the Clown": Yeah, I am sure you will now call me names, will tell me that this is my first post and therefore I'm not aloud to write something which differs from your opinion, you probably will invite me to come to Bern, will tell me that I am a fanboy - no worries. You can find me in the 3 Eidgenossen, in the Pyri, in the Quick bar, in the Reithalle. So what? What exactly is your point by inviting people to meet you? You want to beat the shit out of everybody who doesn't share your opinion? Well, so your behavior isn't so far away from that of the SVP-politicians. Good to know...
Hi Inzli,
I understand that you may not understand the anger being directed towards BITMINE, and assume that it is due to people realizing that they are not going to achieve their Return On Investment. However, in 'most' cases this is not the case, it is not the ROI, it is the total incompetence of BITMINE and the lies they tell to their customers. It's a continuous stream of lie upon lie upon lie. This has had the effect of turning what was originally a generally supportive forum, to one that has been stirred up by Giorgio Massa's lies and incompetence into what sometimes feels like an angry mob. Giorgio in my opinion deserves every vicious comment that has been directed his way ... reap what you sow.
I, and others would fully understand if the price of bitcoins fell through the floor and our investment failed. However, it is totally different to see your investments fail due to incompetence and skulduggery, such as allowing Petamine to jump the queue with large numbers of miners. Up until yesterday BITMINE was still telling new customers that if they paid their money, they would receive a miner in the 2nd week of April. There are current customers that paid ages ago that will not have their miners by the second week in April.
Now to add to the insult, BITMINE are now saying their new miners will be available to pre-order in a few weeks time, when only a handful of their current ones have been delivered to current customers. All I can say is, if anyone is stupid enough to buy from BITMINE after the constant lies and proven lack of management, technical & planning skills, then they deserve everything they get, or don't get.
