So where do you guys place Bitfury in terms of delivering on promise schedule as per them

Learned my new thing for the day 

I will be there to buy your hardware for pennies on the dollar if you tried to roi and failed catastrophicly to feed my ppc habit or even Newfound sht coin habit.  Just wait till December if knc  follows through: they will forever have earned more renown than gen1 basic vendors in my book.

ding ding ding "we have a winner"....(or proof this conversation has gone on too long as per link below)

heh Godwin's law proves that humans are "funny creatures" at least in arguments

Agreed. People compare everything to BFL, but that's like saying Saddam was a good guy 'cos he didn't murder as many people are Hitler.

Preorder Queue# 51XX Signed up for that on June 2nd.

Order# 58X placed on June 3rd.

Payment via PayPal complete June 5th.

Shipping to the West coast of the USA.

just not sure what to think of the shipping queue....waiting it is.

In person yes. #10x paid on friday the week of release.

It really is a shame.  Especially when they said they knew time was everything in this business.  Somebody, somewhere cheapened out again.

Yes still way ahead of BFL but it is coming down to the wire now where one month delays are catastrophic.  We can't afford the type of delays BFL put us through anymore otherwise we should all just hang up our hats.  Things are going to get really ugly by November, December and beyond.

thomashrev89, hey you are picking up in person?

also what was your order#/pay date?

arousedrhino, what was your order#/pay date, please? thanks.

I am on my way now to pick up mine.

I dont know about this whole 'they didnt realize production time' thing.
They made multiple statements up to the very end when they started and announced they were shipping 'all orders by October 15th" correct me if I'm wrong. Even at the very last second they stood by that. And to my knowledge, Jupiters and Saturns aren't caught up yet alone Mercuries.

Don't get your hopes up, Im at 80 hours in progress, still not shipped. I think they may have stopped production due to the fires.

Has anyone reported a shipped miner today or yesterday?

The thing I really can't understand is why, with millions in hand in the bank, they didn't just hire a guy that was a logistics specialist? Short term contract, a few grand. That way they get to concentrate on the things they are expert on. Same for hosting. Save such a lot of hassle and learn for the future.

Exactly.... Engineers, not front line shipping managers.  Killing things compared to bfl and Avalon so far.  No reasons to really complain (yet)

Yeah, they are making an honest effort, it's probably hard for them to admit basic things went/ are going  wrong. Shit timing for us who have exact dates in our heads which we really shouldn't expect from a small company doing this on the fly for the 1st time. Could be a lot worse , we all know that

also, we should be grateful for the stage that knc/we are at....from what i was told in regards to a bitfury unit, the chinese are partying it up and this has caused a one week delay....

was told the same about a health product made in china, that is has been delayed due to chinese festivities....

I appreciate what knc has accomplished

and

I appreciate what timmmers says above

I think it's simple. They didn't have a realistic idea of production times, never done it before. The "hashing within hours" for hosted rigs always sounded silly to me for example..if all went well they'd have to set up hundreds of machines from scratch, simple stuff like unpacking, checking for loose stuff, physically moving them to their correct rack and that kind of stuff takes time. Same goes for hosting, maybe they estimated the time that would take wrongly..should have started earlier? Add a few bad chips or other problems that need sorting individually...to find the good and bad...and it all gangs up on you to put you behind.

It's the old piss poor planning idiom at the end of the day. There's more to selling products than getting one rig working quickly and flooding the web with yourself backslapping and celebrating.

The guy going to pick up his rig and not being allowed to go and get it at the facility spoke volumes to me, if that were my place and I was proud of the performance and set up I'd be inviting such a customer to come and get his rig and report back on how well it was going. My guess is that he'd have found several headless chickens if he went so they packed him off home pissed off and rigless...to save face.

The delays are part of production and understandable, the lies and silence..they are not.

I wish they'd sent one of the cgminer devs a rig, even a Mercury would have done, instead of that couple in the documentary. We'd maybe be in a happier place now.
