I guess the 6k+ I spent out of my own pocket to gather information at my own expense, I might as well go home.
You mean your own pockets, that are lined with the money from all the sales you took? Or do you do this for charity, because you just love to help people
Are we really going to insult the only person fighting for us. I would bet that there wouldn't even be a compensation package if it wasn't for bobsag. Look at his prices and BA's prices. Do you see a big difference? I am sure he makes a small amount on each order, but I doubt it is enough that he can throw 6k around willy nilly . Bobsag has been straight and forward with everything, and even puts his business on the line as he is subject to US regulations, whereas BA is not.
Now I hope as much as anyone else that he is able to talk some sense into these guys, but insulting him is no way to do it. He is our best hope of making our money back on these machines, and I for one will continue to support him, his work, and his business.
Thank you bobsag, please do not get discouraged and please continue to give us updates and fight for us. You have proven to me that you are a good business man, and I respect that, and for that I support you as all a man has over the internet is his reputation and you sir have certainly earned a good one in my book.

I am not happy having been ripped off by AMT, BFL and now BA who I thought was a really good manufacturer but turned out to be just like the rest.
But minersource is not the problem here. If you take account of fully loaded costs, I doubt minersource is going to make anything off of these X-3s, at least not on pre-orders considering all of the extra effort they are going to have to put in (sourcing power supplies, repeat travel, time spent in negotiations with BA, responses to irate customers, etc.). I am not happy with the compensation either, but I would rather have minersource in there trying to improve it (and get orders shipped asap) vs trying to deal with BA myself.
We will see how this all plays out. As it stands, I would never buy from BA again, but I would buy (a different product) from minersource.
I would like to hear the updates from minersource and put our support behind minersource, rather than undercutting them.
Don't forget that minersource increased all shipping to overnight and are including free Ethernet cables with X-3 orders. They know the importance of having everything there as soon as possible and to have it ready and hashing for their customers.
