To be honest, the OP is trying everything he can to abide by his terms as it's in the hands of the hardware supplier. I just hope he gets his hardware by the time he was promised. If all goes well and the hardware turns up in a few days/weeks there would be some serious pool speed happening and we all would be benefiting from it. I just hope all goes well.
Do you mind me asking when you placed the order?
I'm hoping for the best as well. Once I get my net turned back on, at some point on Monday, I'll be able to continue to give more specifics. The purchase date was October 7th, it was probably a batch of its own. Unless it does of course, trickle in as mentioned below.
I agree with the return of funds on request in mid December. I suspect what's likely to happen will be the equipment will trickle in, piece by piece. If that's the case how will you handle the process of deciding who gets to start mining at what point?
I'll be adding a poll along with giving support email on Monday. There were multiple variables of this that I wouldn't say I overlooked... But more surprised me I should say.
A.) When I initially ordered email contacts were great, good follow through with AMT on returning messages.
B.) Natural Disaster - Who saw that coming..
C.) I got pretty ill immediately afterwards.. though things are getting better, half way through antibiotics.. 1 week left.
D.) Sales have greatly surpassed what I had initially thought it would be capable of. I expected a few members to be on board with us, just not quite as many 'heavy investors' which I'm truly grateful for everyone down from the 1 GH/s to 1 TH/s sales. Truly an honor to have gained your trust!
In terms of allocation. It's really going to be hard to say without knowing what we'll have to work with. Since there's no number figure to work with right now and their last email states shipment starts end of November there's really no way to for me to calculate exactly what.
I do have a few ideas however, split the hashing equally. For instance.. let's say we only get .. 5x 1.2 TH miners, so for simple that that is 6 TH/s. We end up selling 12 TH/s by the time the equipment arrives. We could split everyone in 1/2 until the next order comes and cut off sales until then.
Another idea would be, taking the approach of First in First out. I know I'm 'borrowing' that approach from previous companies and it has worked, but also made a lot of people mad. That's another subject I'm open to discussion with as well.
The main thing that is important first and foremost is that everyone who has invested if things go south get their money back. I'm not talking how much in USD, your BTC amount invested. (Minus, the miners fee.)
