I woke up to this email in my inbox. Delivery is still scheduled for tomorrow so I'll post then with details.
Good result.
As a batch 1 (December delivery) customer I'm expecting to get my 2 TH/s Rig plus an additional 1 TH/s Rig under the CPP. This is awesome, and is why I bought under the terms of the CPP. Bitcoin mining is a gamble, and miner pre-orders even more so. I've been down the pre-order road twice before, and to be honest no-one has ever given me a free 1 TH/s Rig before (or the equivalent at the time). I realise that it won't cover the losses from late delivery, but it is something, and it is much better than we have ever had before. BFL didn't provide any compensation at all for late delivery.
At the moment my only complaint is that Bitmine should have committed to a communication plan, even if it was just once a week.
I suspect the more "vocal" Bitmine customers have never experienced a Bitcoin miner pre-order before. This is what it is like - expect delays. This difference here is that we've never had anything as awesome as the CPP before. I waited 6 months for my BFL pre-order. And get this: I only ordered AFTER I had seen a youtube video of someone receiving a working unit (the "coding in my sleep" review). Think about that for a moment.
Remember how this feels... seriously, let this sink in and never forget this feeling. This is what Bitcoin miner pre-orders feel like. But it doesn’t have to be like this. If you don’t want to feel like this again, the solution is simple:
Do not pre-order.
There is no need to pre-order, there are reputable companies who will sell you a miner and ship it within 2 days.
Buy in-stock miners only and we will rid ourselves of this pre-order madness.
