bitmine.ch doubtful credible

I order on 31.10.2013 and the payment arrive on the 04.11.2013.
But i cancel my order on the 04.11.2013 and i got a conformation for a
refund on the 07.11.2013.-"Normally we don't accept refund request (as for our term of sales https://bitmine.ch/?page_id=1001)
But in your case, because you asked it immediately, so we accepted and your refund request is in progress."-

Until today, there was no money refund and the last reminding emails have not been answered.
My account on bitmine.ch is closed so I can not make tracking my order anymore.
Has anyone of you other similar experiences and tips for my further steps?

Hi, we know your order is #2406
you asked the refund even before we receive the bankwire, thats why we allowed your refund,

we didn't close your account on bitmine.ch, and I will check personally why you didn't receive your refund so far.

I'm sorry for the delay and for the missing in mail answers but we are really busy and under high pressure
thanks for understanding

bitmine,
Please answer as you do things with the beginning of the supply chain

P.S. my e-mail: zVitalikz@yandex.ru

[Slander]

Perhaps when  you 'order' you should pay for the shit you ordered.

Call me crazy but thats what I did and I got several emails with confirmations. They also answered several separate emails I sent.

[willpower101]

Order number #11xx? Really? After 30 minutes? I hope your counting begins at #1000.

Have a nice day!

you get number 1xx after they rig up the first 1000 in their farm

[RHA]

Yes, that's what happened. Nobody is arguing that all reservations would be converted into paid orders. That's not the point. The matter of fact is that they did NOT warn/email on payment due to be able to act on reservation  (as they PROMISED they would) BEFORE canceling it. Now they are childishly saying "oh, sorry, we are full" .. Well, Bitmine, that's your f*ing problem. Now, do what you have to do and just honor your own statements to give December reservations option to order for that batch.  Oh, Bitmine, and don't try to sneak around and start canceling reservations.  As of just yesterday, my December reservation still was showing in green as if I had still the option to pay!

It's strange that you waited till now for notification and even to pay the order to secure your queue.

I kept checking My Account every week and it kept showing reservation in green and I kept waiting for that famous email that never arrived on payment due. I'd have gladly paid whenever they said it was time. The only "strange" conspiracy or whatever shit here is their fuck up.

It was advertised here: http://bitmine.ch/?p=1920  (25th September!) and was sent as a newsletter by e-mail two days later.
You didn't pay attention to the news page, did you?

They wrote the reservation queue quickly exceeded the whole production capacity:

As we are writing this newsletter, the shipping queue of confirmed orders has already reached very substantial levels, while the reservation queue already exceeded our maximum production capability and had to be closed. Starting from tomorrow, we will start removing a significant number of  reservations every day from the end of the queue (which means, the latest to have registered will be the first involved in the clearing process) to make slots available for paying customers. If you are one of the affected users, you will receive an e-mail giving you the opportunity to upgrade to the pre-order queue or abandon your reservation.

Yet they still were to e-mail each one who made a reservation. It seems part of the e-mails got lost.

How close are you from Lugano?  Thanks .

Have you delivered any miners yet?

[masterOfDisaster]

They have delivered Avalon clones so far. The new Coincraft Desk and Coincraft Rig products utilizing own ASICS are under construction and the first batch is meant to be delivered end of this year.
My personal experience so far (in terms of communication) is that they reply with a meaningfuly answer. It may take one day, but lately they seem to have increased support staff. My last email got answered quite quickly.

On the web site it talks about "power-save" mode and "turbo" mode and how the hashing rate and power consumption increases or decreases depending on what mode you are running in.

However the miners themselves are available in hash performance models that don't match up with either the power-save or turbo modes.

e.g. Coincraft Desk
 

• Available in: 400 / 600 / 800 / 1000 GH/s
• Power-save mode of 150 / 300 / 450 / 600 / 750 GH/s.
• Turbo mode up to 300 / 600 / 900 / 1200 / 1500 GH/s.

Is that correct? Is the advertised available hashing speed something like a "middle" mode?

What I'm trying to understand is if I order the 1TH/s model, will it have a turbo mode that lets it run at 1.5Th/s and a power save mode that lets it run at 750GH/s

Thanks

Yes. That is what they have said.

[Zelek Uther]

Yes, there is also Nominal (Normal) mode, which is what the listed hashrate is based off.

I think they forgot to remove the data for the 200GH CoinCraft Desk that was available in November. Notice that hashrate has 4 scales, and the rest 5.

Why would you not run them in turbo mode all the time?

[SolarSilver]

Why would you not run them in turbo mode all the time?

Give it a few more months and difficulty will have skyrocketed so that power costs will be > the BTC it generates on a daily basis.
It's nice to know you can throttle back and extend the life of your equipment

Interesting, Do the "Desk" and the "Rig" both use the 28nm ASIC? Only the "Rig" specifies it in the descriptions. Its the only discrepancy in the descriptions, everything else seems the same including the Powertune technology descriptions etc, which makes you think that they are both using the 28nm technology.

Has there been any official comment? There are some many potential loopholes that it always makes you suspicious when an obvious glaring ommission has been pointed out and it would be the work of moments to fix it on the web site. But it hasn't been all this time, which is wierd.

[Matumaru]

There is another unclarified question about speeds.

In the post for datasheet on their news says:

2) The nominal hashing power is 25 GH/s and not 20 GH/s as initially announced, this is due to some last minute optimizations that have been made with the design, a free 25% increase!

Does that mean the 200GH would be 250GH nominal, 400GH - 500GH, so on? This will require a change on that chart for nominal, powersave, and turbo mode.

so are you guys still on time with shipments for last week of december?
its getting closer and closer
