Well the pressure is on to deliver those miners. Lotta people here willing to forgo the case and PSU which would help ALOT of that delivery load (#1493 here) I would be happy enough to just pick up my parts and put them together. I got 2 rack mount cases for those I was gonna modify if needed to put the hardware in. Nice to know its already ATX compatible so it saves me some headaches.
Also AMT may want to take note.
http://www.coindesk.com/court-grants-order-freeze-hashfasts-bitcoin-wallets/ There are people with plenty of legitimate gripes. This would be a good time to start heaping out the orders on here first if anything. There are some with refunds that are deserved too. If you got some hidden wallets out there they will be found. After all the ledger is public.
I want to be on your side and see you guys succeed as a business. But you gotta look at how its playing out and start flexing a little and communicating with the customers instead of just detractors. Posting on your facebook or blog for starters would be FAR better than using this forum. We can discuss here until we turn blue. Plus anything useful seems to get drowned out within hours of being posted. It is an incredibly poor use of social media in terms of getting news out. That said the forums server their own purpose for customer engagement and feedback.
There is a legal storm coming which has been alluded to repeatedly here (not a threat just observation on what people have been admitting). There are people who have been essentially spamming email and these forums for an answer to a refund. No attempt to contact them has been forthcoming. I have emailed requesting an ETA according to your instructions for various things including volunteering to come down and assist (which I am willing to do for the good of the community at large not just myself). Also you put forward the option of receiving the parts and assembling it ourselves. Obviously if we are doing that we definitely want something in return to compensate for that as well. An additional hashing board or even a 128Ghs miner just to get some extra power out. The MPP is a huge huge thing right now as people have lost alot of mining power because the difficulty has climbed a number of times because of the wait. Does not seem like there are plans to honor that MPP at this point. Which is really really bad.
These are just the realities of what we are seeing right now. I imagine you guys are keenly aware of that.
HashFast, which had been under threat of legal action over the delays since the beginning of this year, was founded just last year and promotes itself on its website as “an industry leader in bitcoin mining technology”.
Can you image any bitcoin miner supplier promoting themselves as, "Coin Mining on the Level"? Me neither, thus not even sure why I brought it up.
Let me put my tin foil hat on...
There we go.
Did the Mason connection come up at all?
On the level being a Freemason term. I noticed AMT changed their web page some time back to remove other symbols that could be construed as masonic but its kind of hard to remove your company slogan I guess
Ok the hats coming off. that thing makes my scalp itchy and I don't care for the easy listening music I hear when wearing it
Yes he did. Josh did admit that he and his father are both Freemasons, and that there are of different sects, for lack of a better term. They're just a brotherhood that does good. Fair enough. No problem with that whatsoever, and he should have embraced them and not removed any symbols.
The gist of our conversation is that he didn't know where/how the rumor got started, whereupon I told him that it was probably by me, expressing how I started adding it to the JBF moniker I devised. He claimed to only stated that he didn't know how it got started and not denying the fact. It that is true, then I would be the one to blame for claiming that he said that he wasn't a Freemasons, hence offering up proof of the contrary.
If I am the one to blame for that aspect, then I must apologize, and they probably shouldn't have been brought into the equation. I should revisit that post in question to see if and how I erred, if I did. At this penning, I'm leaning toward to making said error.
To be fair, Josh did state several times that his intentions are good, but his communication skills suck. I've had the pleasure of meeting several different people who claimed that there intentions were good, but at the end of the day, no joy.
Look, we all fuck up! That's a given. But, it's how we handle those fuck-ups that really matter. Unfortunately for Josh, the point of no return has probably been reached, and we're now hoping that all who've ordered don't get burn too badly at the end of the day.
Delivering only parts to those who want them would take a big-ass load off AMT.
Ironically, if Josh truly isn't mining, even a little, then that'll make him... (insert your own thoughts here).
