Well, assuming that your exclusive deal was quite lucrative if you sold to someone with thousands of rigs... I would really hope that you do get some "Customer service", because at that price point you really should have. And again I'm not bitching that you don't want to sell to me. Fine no problem. All I'm saying is that you shouldn't have offered if you weren't sure. If you were simply gauging interest then you and wolf0's contact should have said that much.
Here's the message I received from wolf0... Doesn't exactly come across as "We're gauging interest in this and may decide to sell"... No, it pretty much says "We want to sell this to you and this is the price":
Hey! You were interested in my Ethereum miner, correct? I've decided to sell to multiple folks, since there is such a high demand.
I'm currently charging 0.0635 BTC per card - so it'd be 0.12 BTC for you.
Let me know if you're interested.
Alright, I think there is some misunderstanding.
Now, I've gone back and looked at all our messages. You and he had steady contact from June 21st to June 26th - then, I was sick (and Wolf0 busy) so I could not answer any more mails on his behalf. Then, from June 30th you contacted me, I replied, and then I was away for a few days.
Now, initially, we intended to sell to multiple parties, yes. But then, during the period of the 30th and the 4th, we were approached for an exclusive deal. Yes, we were sure we wanted to sell to multiple parties - but then shit happens. Or in this case, good things happen.
What would you prefer I do? Say, no, we won't sell it exclusively? That won't happen. My job is to ensure Wolf0 has enough funds to live happily and in comfort. An exclusive deal brings those funds. It's a no brainer.
So what would you prefer I do in the future, bradleyjay? Just ignore you? Or, should I not have sent you a message to let you know we'd no longer be dealing with you? Choose one, because those are your two options.
As I've said, I made a mistake in contacting you, and I will not do so in the future.
OK then! Just to point out that you are correct in stating no money changed hands. I was quoted much much much more than 80 dollars. I was also told that it was still being worked on. Thats why no money was sent. I do wish yall the best of luck with your new partner. Wolf0 has helped the community out a great deal from what i have read. I have just become a currency miner myself with about a 20k investment in my 9 rigs. I was hoping to make the most of the miner and get that money back asap. Im not mad just a bit disappointed is all. You are very correct saying we are all humans and we all have flaws. Wish yall the best and looking forward to future releases.
Shit happens!! Time to move forward.
We decided on a per-card quote. Bradleyjay only had two cards (then three), so his price was
muuuuch smaller than yours. If I recall, I think we originally quoted you for 2.66 BTC, correct? With a total of 42 cards. That's the main reason you were much more - just to clear up any confusion for future parties.
I really hope you are able to make that money back! We'll try to release some open source stuff in the future to help the community in general, but for now, money is needed - so we've got to whore ourselves out to the highest bidder.
