Thanks for reply guys. I'm gonna research it

Same question again.
So how many people have received the recent S2 batches?

Any feedback about the performance please?

I want to see feedback from people who actually received the miners

We shouldn't be surprised if HashF*ck announces soon that they have gone into liquidation.
Then you can dream about getting any refunds...

Same here bro. Waiting since January and getting the same crap.

We are waiting until the end of this month and then we open up teh case with our solicitor. There are few people in UK who have not received their refunds yet.

There is a group of customers in UK who have not yet received their refunds for their BabyCrap miners.

If we don't receive our refunds from HashF&ck until the end of the week we are going to get our solicitor to get a freaking medieval on their asses  

Bloody thieves. I haven't got back my btc yet.

Has anyone actually received any refunds for any batch higher than Batch 1?

Be careful when you request a refund!

Altough they process it instantly but they don't refund the full amount. Right after processing it they send an e-mail stating that "As per our cancellation policy you will be refunded 75% of your deposit, minus £70".
As almost no one reads such policies and people logically expect to receive 100% refund it is an abvious exploitation of a customer.

Unfortunatelly customers with later batches cannot receive the refund. This is the message they e-mail to customers requesting the refund:

"Thank you for your email. We are not able to refund your order at this time.
Batch 4 orders have a Guaranteed Ship Date of on or before March 31st per our order Terms & Conditions. If this date is not met, a customer may then request a refund.
Sincerely,
Erin"

Hello Matt,

I sent you an e-mail last week with request of changing the delivery address for my order number 1810.

Thanks

(I already send you a message some time ago under nickname "fredpies" and you promised to look into it)

I also tried calling few times using UK number in the middle of last night but no one was picking up the phone.

Yeah I'd like to know that too! Last news post was from 31st December. They claimed that they started shipping that day bu there have been no news updates since and no one on the forum seems to confirm receiving any units so far.

Same problem here.
Since the pool is back to mining all the history of my payout transactions have disappeared.
I had few transactions pending since the error/attack on pool in October.
There were few transactions pending to be processed which has never reached my wallet.
Altogether there was around 2BTC.
I can't check up exact amount as all "payments" info has vanished!

Yes that was my presumption as you posted your reply shortly under my post. Anyway you are right. It doesn't matter

I already asked you a question which you ignored.

You said "most basic understanding of how the mining/minting process works"

So if you think that I don't understand how it works you are welcome to explain it here what you think I don't understand and where did I make a mistake and why it is a mistake.
So far you hafve brought no coherent criticism. Just vagule criticised without explaining what is inccrect nad what I dont' know.

As I said crtiicism is pointless if not backed by coherent information.

Well I have obviously tried and I may have missed something although I have been into btc for a while. There is still a lot to learn

If you criticize you should provide some hints for the source where to find more info in the subject to make it easier for me.

Critcizing without offering a solution has no value. It brings nothing

Well you are welcome to enlighten me then :-D

Cointerrra has officially released/shipped jack shit so far. Of course it doesn't mean they are not exploiting the network now using customer's miners pretending they are not in production process yet - it is self evident and intrisic for monetary system that priority is profit and human and envirnmental well being is secondary. You cannot trust anyone in current fiat monetary based system as lack of trust is the ingrown trait within cyclical consumption/planned obsolesence/consumerism profit focused monetary system. Cointerra has been releasing vague news for months - all brought no coherent data but barren information. It all have looked like automatic response to competition's news updates - suspicious. Something is not going smooth with Cointera and they seem to be too afrafd to admit their failure. Hashfast, Bitmine and Black Arrow seem legit. Hashfast is in the process of shipping fist batch soon and Bitmine/Black Arrow are also quite legit because they have a lot experience and have acquired trustful chip manufacturer contacts after they already released and provided miners before deadtime in the past.
Anyway...
At the moment Hashfast is leading releasing miners within next 2 weeks followed by Bitmine and Black Arrow.
And yes, I agree that until all manufacturers reach 28nm technologial limits of their chips, difficulty should not stop exponentially growing. You are right

Yes I watch network hashrate every day. I know it's increasing but that's my point.

You don't have to believe me, just look at the network hashrate increase. That's my point. Even with such network hashrate jumps teh difficulty shoudl exponentially decrease but it seems to be rising steadily at the same pace. There hasn't been any sudden technoogical advancement in chip performance so even if number of hashing chips grows the diffculty should increase should slow down until there is new more efficeint technology instiruduced (even much faster chips).

By the way, do you have any ideas where recently plugged in rigs may be coming from? Some larger companies introducing their own bespoke rigs maybe?

I really can't understand where next 32% difficulty rise in 13 dyas will be coming from if there have been no new mining rigs shipped.
Last batches were shipped by KNC and Technobit in the end of November.

Next shipment of rigs wil be done by Hashfast in the beginning of January. Then Bitmine, Cointerra and Black Arrow will join beween the end of January and March.

So where the hell is this next high 32% difficulty coming from?

Also even with increase of the number of rigs staying at the same technological threshold (chip efficiency limitations) there should be slow down in difficulty increase.
What happens is the opposite. It is still growing exponentially.

It doesn't make sense.
