Your not going to believe this... or maybe you will.  Since this industry seems riddled with scams... and after repeated ignored attempts to contact the company I processed a chargeback and order product from somewhere else.  4 day after the chargeback I get an automated email saying my order was updated and it was shipped.  I replied and said that I had charged back because of no response from the company and they did not ship in the time they stated they would.  Of course no reply.  Today I get am email from them stating they have filed a police report because they shipped the item and I filed a fraud report after they shipped it (ie: stealing the product). 

I immediately emailed them and said they are $%^#&*( crazy that I attempted repeatedly to contact them, they ignored me, I charged back, then they shipped AFTER my chargeback.  Not my problem they can't run a business properly.  I have no problem paying for the item if they would communicate.  So I have no idea where its going... 

So other people reading this... the company did eventually ship, it was past the date they promised (which seems common in this industry) but they continue to ignore emails even in a situation like this in which I am happy to rectify with them.     So looks like they do actually sell hardware, but they are just crappy business people who now have accused me of stealing their merchandise.

Thanks everyone for the feedback... I will keep shifting around a bit more to see how things pan out.  (pun intended)

Thanks... What I have done is ran Ghash.io for 24 hours, then btcguild, and I have 3 more picked out that I am going to run each for 24 hours to see the return.  so far I am on the 3rd pool and ghash.io has yeilded the highest return but shows the highest number of stales and rejects.

I read through the pool threads but my head is spinning... do you have a recommendation on what pools are decent?

Hi,
  I, of course, am new to mining.  I have one ASICMiner Blade and I have been successful at mining for a whopping 2.5 days!  Yay!  Here are my questions, sorry if they are repeats but its hard to search when you have a lot of questions and keep getting stopped due to frequent searches.

  When I first powered up my blade the efficiency went up over 160%.  I have a 10GH/s blade and it reported it was running at 16GH/s.  After a 2-3 hours it slowly decreased on its own and seemed to settle around 10GH/s.  I was mining using the GHash.io pool and the chart shows that I mined for a period of about 8 hours without any issues, no stales, no rejects and I kept watching the blade config page and my efficiency was always between 102-105%.  After about 8 hours I started to get stales, my efficiency dropped to an average of 95% and I am getting rejects.  I have rebooted the blade, I think it is getting adequate cooling and I tried another pool with similar averages.  I have read that some stales and rejects are normal, which is fine it doesnt seem like a high %, but I wonder why I had none for the first 8 hours of mining and now all of a sudden they are fairly frequent.  Is this normal?  What's a normal efficiency? 

Thanks in advance

Thanks... trying to get out of the newbie section is tough! 

Hi,
 I purchased some merchandise from bitcoinrigs.org and was informed at time of order that the order was on a 7 day backorder but would ship within the 7 days.  I patiently waited and after the 7 days expected some sort of shipping notice or further communication. I emailed to follow up and ask for tracking number.  No reply.  I followed up with a few more emails over the next few days.  Still no reply.  In the end I contacted my credit card company to proceed with a chargeback since the seller clearly has no desire to talk to customers after payment is made.  I don't know if they expected to just take the money and run or if they didn't have the product.  If they just couldn't supply the product then they should be straightforward to customers.  Either way I would stay far away from these guys.

Hope it helps someone looking to buy...  find an alternate source for your hardware.
