Almost 2 months later and they still have not given any reply regarding my refund for X3 and have not given any updates regarding refunds...

bad news man

Almost 2 months later and they still have not given any reply regarding my refund for X3 and have not given any updates regarding refunds...

In addition to their statement that they will not start processing refunds until shipping is completed, they have also stated that they will not process any support tickets until shipping is completed.

They have now started shipping to the resellers, but those of us who ordered direct - before there were any resellers - are still waiting. Hence, still no refund processing and no ticket processing.

To be fair, they also said that the compensation decision would be delayed until shipping was completed, but they have now actually made a decision about the compensation: "There will be no more compensation. You lose. You get nothing. Good day, sir."

And they've promised that customers will get capacitors that will not explode. And miners that may or may not cause leukemia. So we have that going for us.

They can make this promise because they don't deliver anything ?

Yup. Pretty much.

I'd say the major lesson learned here is that's if you're going to do business in China make sure it's actually run by a chinaman and not some eastern european once arrested for credit card skimming running a British front company out of the Virgin Islands doing double duty as a reseller catering to americans having more money than brains and are too busy playing video games to take the time to learn how google works.

Bobsag, any shipment news? Did u get it? How many? Thanks.

We will probably end up trying a watercooled system using PC parts due to the socket size... should at least look cool!

Are there are quad head water coolers out there? That might be interesting.

Would go with 4 individual blocks, linked 2x2 is seriers to 2x 240 Rads.

Blocks: 4x http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16395/ex-blc-1153/Alphacool_NexXxos_XP_Light_CPU_Liquid_Cooling_Block_-_Acetal_Edition_-_Intel_AMD_12153.html?tl=g30c325s1118

Pump: 2x http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9898/ex-pmp-92/Bitspower_Mini_Water_Tank_Plus_DDC_Pump_Attachement_Reservoir_w_Filter_-_Acetal_Cap_BP-DDCT2-CL.html?tl=g30c107s152

Rads: 2x http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14327/ex-rad-315/XSPC_EX240_Dual_120mm_Low_Profile_Split_Fin_Radiator.html?tl=g30c95s160

I know its expensive and highly impractical.. dont care.
Plus you can pay in BTC

But it is all reusable!!!

I run a 3 Litter water cooling system with 2x180 + 1x180 + 2.5L passive radiator running on a Garden fountain pump. And you can just put that stuff on future computer equipment or future mining equipment if you can manage to make it fit. So at most all you loose is your water blocks rest can all way's be reused.

Just received a shipment confirmation email from Minersource today.

[n00dles0up]

Well today I asked minersource support if I could change my order for an Antminer S3 and pay the different and got the generic email saying now BA are shipping orders, they are no longer going to do anything.

Would rather wait for an S3 than the 1 x1 I ordered. Really not happy with any of this.
