As for PangolinMiner, I highly doubt they have the funds to afford to make refunds. I am guessing they are not very cash flow positive. As for the manufacturer, MicroBT, it’s a poor move on their part. However, as a distributor,
whatsminer.net will not charge extra for anyone who purchased before this announcement was made. Anyone who ordered from us within the last 12 hours will be offered a refund. Anyone who ordered before 12 hours ago will not be affected. Sadly, I’m sure the distributor, Pango, will not honor this same type of deal.
