These are part of B2 so until they finally get around to B1 these won't go out, we're also in the process of getting them refunded if possible.
Thanks for all your hard work!

So in case of getting refunds, will these be the amount of BTC paid or the equivalent in fiat at the time of payment? In the second case, we would have every reason to be really pissed off.

If they're starting to ship, why are we looking for refunds? Is there something I'm not clear on here?

read up on the company named BFL a hated company that was guilty of huge delays in shipping. this hash fast company is acting exactly like BFL did. basically the best we could hope for is a fast usd /fiat refund.

I'm quite familiar with BFL. I recently received two miners from them I ordered 5 months ago.

You making any headway on the refund? Sounds like a lot of people are having problems with getting hashfast to respond.

UPDATE for R3 and R4: They're forcing USD refunds on people that didn't request them if you missed that in the CH forum yesterday. If this is forced on us, we are *not* cashing this refund check worth about 1/8th of our orig. BTC sent for R1-4, and will consult with our legal team.
It was a major PITA to get all the evidence in place, and in chronological order for our attorneys but HashFast heard from our attorneys yesterday and we have an official support ticket in the system, FWIW. It's also been a drain on the co-op's energy to have to fight this in the middle of the move/expansion.
We're doing our best to get full BTC refunds for everyone that bought into R1-4 with Bitcoin (except for R2, which was orig. bought via Wire Transfer by someone else so it will be in USD; the upgrade R2B was paid in BTC).
To fight to get this full BTC refunds for us and to make sure we were represented by a battle tested legal team, we plan on deducting the legal costs among the 4 rounds. We estimate this cost to be about $250-300 at this time (could go up if we go to arbitration).
That would work out to about $2.50-$3 per R1-4 share (which includes upgrades for R1-2). The upside is: for those that bought GB shares with bitcoin, if we get our full BTC back from HashFast, even with this small deduction for legal expenses you'd be refunded 6-9x your USD value back from your original BTC purchase amount(s) depending on when you bought your GB shares.
If you paid in USD, these refund terms and legal fees don't apply, and we will send back the original USD amount(s) sent when our full refund arrives.

Thanks for the update. Apparently someone has already been successful obtaining a sentence for a BTC refund from BFL (although BFL hasn’t paid it yet). http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1u4v0o/i_sued_bfl_in_kansas_jurisdiction_and_won

Thanks for all your hard work guys. Making sure these hardware companies are held liable for things like this is important for the future of mining.
