Interesting... I placed my order on December 5th (#899) and was told my delivery would be in February. Interesting you placed an order after mine but was told a shipping date prior to mine....
Regardless, no PM, email, phone calls, or anything updating me on status.
Not 100% sure, but I think you also paid more than we did too, or did you get it at the price-change too?... The price dropped about $500, I think, by the time I placed my order. Then it dropped another $400 after I placed my order. Roughly that much, I believe. So, the order I am getting now, is the same as the guy who paid $400 less then me, and $900 less than you?
Original price was: $6499 ??
My price was: $5999
New price is: $5599
The website said, it would ship in 4-6 weeks, as well as the reassuring post in the forums. Quote is still there,
"All 1.2Th/s miners will ship in 6 weeks or less." If we ordered it before the 14th of Dec. That was after the news from Bitmine.ch, about the chips "now shipping". (Just before the storms, which delayed the delivery until Feb.)
I have no idea what time-frame they offered to those customers, prior to those dates. I imagine sales were stalling, so with the news, they promised earlier deliveries, to get more sales before the holidays.
Interesting, in re. the price drops. Kinda goes along with my latest theory that AMT only received dozens of orders, oppose to hundreds, having many pre-orderers staying away from them due to the myriad uncertainties at the time.
Surely, if orders were flooding in, AMT wouldn't have dropped the price not once, but twice in such close proximity. They played the we-sold-and-delivered-FPGA-miners game to a handful of buyers, but still couldn't muster up enough sales in spite of their quasi-favorable price point for their 1.2 TH/s bitcoin miners.
If I'm not mistaken, the couple batches of chips they received from Bitmine, some were simply resold via AMT's site.
Meanwhile, AMT is mining awhile at some undisclosed location - with free electricity to boot. It's times like these that I wish I was born a Jewish Bulgarian Freemasons Gimp, so that I can dance with pretty Jewish girls in black and white striped short dresses and fuck my fellow man.
