I’m sorry, but reading this thread recently makes me think that some people here didn’t know the risks of late delivery when they made their payment. In which case, shame on you.
No one has yet triggered their 61-day refund timing, which was agreed to upon purchase (you did read that part, right?). When that happens, you have the options available to you that you agreed to upon purchase.
Zefir and others in
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-bitmine-coincraft-a1-28nm-chip-distribution-diy-support-294235 have functional A1 chips in-hand, with more on the way.
Is Bitmine late? Yes. Did you agree to terms about what would happen if they were late? Yes. Do you expect those terms to not be fulfilled by Bitmine? If not, then first, give them the opportunity to fulfill them on the terms you agreed to, then lose your damn minds at that point in time if they don't.
Until then, realize that you took a risk in purchasing cutting-edge new hardware that you knew wasn’t available yet from a team who has delivered in the past, and came up with a plan for what to do if they were late, who is trying to produce something of which you have no concept of its developmental and logistical complexity, and chill the f out.
Sorry but I Glabe you did not understand why the customers are angry here !
If Bitmine had declared on 10.12.2013 they have bigger problems and that starts production in February , it would have been OK.
But you stated only "Sorry there is a delay of 3 weeks! "
http://bitmine.ch/?p=4192So I thought as a customer is ok but I really did not know that they do not even sample chips
And 31/12/2013 "Hey , we build a test chips Miner this can be quickly and makes no problems "
http://bitmine.ch/?p=4543The flow is obvious :
Example chips are delivered and tested ( test build Miner ) this can under some circumstances take 1 - 2 weeks
If the errors have been corrected , the production chips to be ordered and again 2-3 weeks
Even better, this info would have been in November because there was knowing they have it them out of hand because the sample chips have not arrived in time
You forget that the delivery date for December batch was 16.12.2013 and these customers should have been by mail or forum Inform and not all problems hush
And now comes the best
Bitmine wrote to me from which they determine when the protection plan runs
by my reckoning they are now 40 days over delivery date 'm curious how the Bitmine looks
) and I fully agree.
