I am one of the poor guys who paid a X3 preorder 3? years ago. After a massive delay the miners arrived being worth 1/10 of the initial price.
Because of this delay they always talked about a "compensation" which we would get "some day".
First it was an additional 1TH/s
Then they said we are getting an additional X3 after all preorders were delivered.
But *suprise* I never got anything.
Now they have news on their website:
Compensation for X1/X3 customersManufacturing cost to build a miner with 36 chips is 2500 RMB (US$390)
They also require 2 x PSUs which cost 200RMB each (2 x US$31)
We will not be shipping this miner out of China.
Costs 19.21 RMB/day (~3$) for hosting
Fun-quote:
However, if you still want to have the miner at home or your own datacentre, please let us know. If there are enough customers to make CE/FC certification worthwhile, we will get it and ship the miners.
Just FUCK OFF Blackarrow!
