As many of you have already noticed, we've released our:

Customer Loyalty Rewards & Refer-a-Friend programs


Loyalty Rewards:
For every dollar you spend, you earn 10 rewards points. You can redeem the rewards points for store credit - from small to large $ amounts.

You can see all the reward tiers by clicking the widget on the bottom right of the site. If you're logged in, click the widget and then switch to the Reward Redemption tab.

If you plan on making many purchases, save your points to redeem a bigger prize!

Refer-a-Friend:
If you refer a friend, every purchase earns you 5000 points (same as a $500 purchase!), so get to it!

Anyone you refer receives $20 off their first purchase over $200. Posting your referral link on Facebook or Twitter might earn you multiple referrals in one shot so give it a go!


Starting Off:
Just for logging in or signing up, you will be rewarded 1000 points!

Thanks for being part of this amazing and ever-growing community!

They are back and you may order right now but all orders will not become active until 05/02/14. This is to ensure on-time delivery of your order.

Thanks for the questions!

We have not decided if we will bring back the hosting at no charge. We will announce that later this week

Can you keep a secret?  I want to give you guys a neat update.

GAW Miners in is discussions with, more then one, of the new ASIC hardware companies releasing new miners in the coming months. We are using our buying scale to create exclusive agreements with some of these new and upcoming hardware companies.

This means GAW Miners will be the first to have access to most new hardware that will be hitting the market. And we will have an opportunity to test the hardware before it's even released.

As always, we will offer special privileges to all our existing customers (not only founders club members).

I can confirm that while these products are months away, you will be happy you got in early

Thank you all for your patience. Here is a quick update of our latest news and what we are doing to solve possible power issues for some clients experiencing intermittent issues with the Blades.

At this time we have overnighted an industrial power grid and supplies for the blades. We will be receiving and installing the new power infrastructure within 24 hours.

During the original planning of the power infrastructure for the blades, we did not account for such an increase in fluctuation of the power draw while actually hashing. There are other variables that affect the draw including but not limited to difficulty, coin, and job size.

Because of our focus on this issue, we have made new blade hosting purchases out of stock temporarily until this is resolved.

If you have been affected by this and have already filled out the compensation form, you don't need to do anything else. We are also extending the compensation for tomorrow as well for those affected.

Thank you again for your understanding. We will continue providing updates here on btctalk and directly through the dashboard.

We have plenty to ship. But we need to upgrade our power before we can add more to hosting. We currently use about 500 amps for our free hosting.

We will be making an announcement soon!

We are sold out at the moment

Update: we have patched the software causing issues to improve stability and we are continuing to investigate the root cause and begin further improvements to stability.

All customers affected will be compensated for any downtime they have incurred. We will update with further details later.

If you are changing your pool or restarting your instance, please give the system up to 3-4 minutes for your devices to show online. This delay will be improved very soon.

Thank you for your patience!

The GAW Team

Those dates are correct!

Just a reminder that you needed to have registered your miners on the 15th! And the payout will be based on LTC

As I previously stated, I am deleting support tickets. This is not a support helpdesk. We have a support help desk for this specific reason. You may also email us at orders@gawminers.com for support.

This thread is meant for updates, news or if there are major problems then you may post them here.

Thank you for understanding and helping keep the thread uncluttered.

This has already happened. All new hosted purchases are due to be filled next week. Please check the website. Thanks

NP, it will work out

Hourly update: Our developers haven't left their seats and are debugging and coding. Thank you for being patient. Please continue checking back every hour for updates.

The GAW Team

Did you read our last statement?

We are not down. A handful of customers are having lower hash issues.

And since we will double their losses, it's a perfect time for the the issue to exist

We are making good progress.

Please keep track of any profits you may have lost today. Once your hashing back to normal, and assuming we can verify it, we will double it and pay you in btc

We will always take care of our customers!

We are working very hard and will continue updating you every hour until the issues are completely fixed.

Also, we apologize for the delay in making a public announcement.  We thought the issue was isolated but only learned it was global shortly before making the announcement.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hey everyone, we have discovered a bug in the way the UI talks to the blades and are in the process of upgrading the code. The reason for the delay in tickets is because our engineers are focused on fixing the code, rather then respond to each individual ticket. We can assure we are very aware of the issue, and will have the code updated for soon.

Please contact josh@gawminers.com. He will be happy to assist all founders with orders.

Hi Everybody,

The Single 5-Chips have sold out! We had a crazy influx of orders and were doing over 2 orders per minute for over an hour. We definitely didn't expect this and sold out way sooner than estimated.

For everyone who thinks the price is about to drop, it just did and it will go back up again tomorrow. This was a SALE and not a prelude to anything. Tomorrow prices will be right back to normal (129.95) and will stay that way so please stop speculating and throwing around rumors because they are just that - rumors.

Thank you everyone for participating in this sale and we wish you happy mining with your new miners!

Have a wonderful Friday,

The GAW Team
