That reminds me, wasn't there meant to be a PR person starting "next Tuesday"?

That seems weeks ago now.

BA can't even get the PR right about the PR person... maybe they can't even get a PR person? Who the hell would want the job anyway?

 

Precisely.

So they can't even get one PR person to show up and answer questions for weeks now but they will produce a complex miner, using a custom designed chip and board and they will deliver it on time, using the "new" schedule. Just let that sink in for a minute. My back of the napkin estimate - ladies and gentlemen, if everything else in that company runs just as well (and we have seen no proof to the contrary so far) we are screwed.

I'd be looking for a publicist about now. Never let facts stand in the way of a good story.

And just what are the facts? Delays, broken promises, sloppiness, lies, incompetence... perfect material for the too often seen these days story of Bitcoin mining companies.

Which ASIC maker isn't asking for money up front?  No money no matter.

Bitmain.

Actually not. People have to pay first to Bitmain, then the devices are sent to them. You cannot get the miner delivered and pay for it later.
I understand what you mean. The difference is they are sent immediately, so it is like buying in a shop, not like pre-ordering.
Yet one cannot tell Bitmain isn't asking for money up front.

Nevertheless they are shipping in hand units. Yeah, you can't get them on credit, but that's ok. Nobody is going to ship one to you for free and hope you'll pay. That's just asking to be scammed.

I respectfully ask you to please tell us when the old database will be merged.

Thank you.

When im comfortable its ready to be. We have other website issues at the moment that have to be resolved first. The worst case senario is we have the old database loaded up into UPS worldship already so orders can be shipped on time.

Thanks for posting that - dont always answer all the questions here.

IMHO the S1 is biting on the viability of ever producing the X1 in it's current form and price. S1 price keeps dropping daily it seems.

I've said it before IMHO doubling up the number of Minions/device may be the only economical solution for offsetting the delay.

Thank you, I have forwarded my refund request that was e-mailed to matt@minersource.net on February 1, 2014 to the support e-mail address above as instructed. I suppose that since I sent it to the wrong e-mail address, I go to the back of the queue? I sincerely hope not...

Cheers.

Not a problem. I have had so many people personally email me for refunds... if it doesnt go to support@minersource it cant be refunded.

Competition must be tough these days.  Ninja actually ships from Arizona and has them in stock.

This is actually pretty funny coming from a BA reseller in a BA thread. Any rate, ordering from China I can get one in 3 days to eastern US and for significantly cheaper, so I don't understand why people are trying to resell these.

Did Matt apologize for it taking so long because he had to obfuscate where the coins been setting the entire time? Easy to prove--just work backward from this transaction. What a piece of shit!

How does a viable entity get so many refund requests? Let me re-ask that: How is it possible that a viable entity has so many refund requests?

When a company offers a product or service for money and fails to deliver, they can ask nicely to be forgiven, but that firm continuing to exist is not their right.

I agree, in my opinion the key here is where is the line between a reasonable delay making a new product and what is a failure

In case anyone here didn't see the pictures posted earlier:

Does the X-1 come plug and play ready to mine, or do we need to buy anything additional?

EDIT: 
Awesome. thanks man!
