[OFFICIAL FIRST GROUP BUY] BitMain Antminer S1 - 30 units

[cxboyminer]

Statement:

BitMain changed our agreement. They could´t deliver the units, as promised, for shipping on Monday, but on Wednesday instead. I offered to lower my 3% fee to 1,5% for faster shipping but they denied and started to accuse me for ruining their business model.

Since they changed the agreement we had, i no longer going to manage this group buy. I have no control over the wallet so all claims for refund should be directed to BitMain. I´ve seen how this forum acts i neither no longer want to participate in the aftermath shitstorm that will come from this group buy.

I just hope everyone gets their funds back and let´s just all remember that i was very clear on that no one should transfer any funds to the wallet before BitMain had given their confirmation (This shit is NOT on me.)

BitMain used me to screw you guys

Take care ppl.

When did he screw you up? Just now?

[merv77]

are you serious..?
you spit the dummy because of 48 hrs delay,

welcome to the bitcoin world.
you shouldn't just drop it until you get some feedback from others invested in this gb.

If I were in this I be more upset at you for giving up at the drop of a hat.

Dont give up .. I can wait to Wednesday shipping .. no problem. All we want so see is Bitmains Yes .. we will send it next week.

[sushi]

I would say let's offer to all who signed up to withdraw if they want to due to the 2 extra days of wait, I'm sure there are others who wouldn't mind waiting for a few extra days.

We all have our day jobs. If the schedule could create some problems, I will step up to assist you Texplorer!  Let's make the 1st GB a success

[UPDATED 2013/11/29 13:05:00]

Hi All & Textplorer,

Let's take a breath for now and have a beer for the night, then let's regroup in the morning!

Unexpected Delays are always associated with ASIC and Bitcoin World.  A few days is not that bad.  

I will step up and help you with things that are need to take care of and manage the list.  I'll be off for the next 2 days and I will have some time on my hand  

Mean while, let's check with all who hold 30 spots on the Group Buy.  

Any one who wants out, Raise Hand (or PM me) and I will create a temporary list and check with you (Textplorer) when you wake up in the morning and also,  will do my best to contact Bitmain and see if we could keep this group buy alive for either 12/5 or 12/6 or 12/7 shipping date just to be safe.  

This is just to gather interest info and viability of the Group Buy!

According to Bitmain, 30 unites are committed for this Group Buy

Price: 4.25 Bitcoin (same)
Shipping Date from China: as Early as 12/4 but as late as 12/7
(Next Saturday, but could ship early)[/color][/size]
This way, they won't get rushed and they will have enough time to run all the Burn-Test before boxing up the unit![/b]

Please State, Remain on the list or OUT.

To be fair to people who have already signed up, if someone in front of you decided out, your number will just move up and open up the bottom number.  Example #10 wanted out, #11 will take the place of #10 and #30 becomes free open slot.

Payment Address will be announced in 24 hours.


Thank you!

I'm IN

[mtbitcoin]

Weds is fine with me... It should not be an issue waiting for another 2 days if the delay was communicated upfront. (IN)

[Ridicuss]

Sushi,

Thanks for being so helpful for the first two auction on Bitmain ant.

I also appreciate you trying to hold this GB together.

If this GB proceeds I would like to tentatively reserve 2 places. If two become available.

Now I will throw my 2 satoshi in and try to run Bitmains business for them (Sarcasm) no offence to the OP.   With the Jump in BTC and no end in sight I think it would give your Group Buyers more incentive if the price was locked to USD and not BTC.  If BTC goes up another 200 or 300 before this is official, I think most will bail if not paid. Shit *BTC over 1200 on GOX now. 4.25X1200 = 5,100. Last auction was somewhere between 3900 and 4000 I think.

Not trying to flame or say this is a bad Idea, I love my antminer! I would like more but cant do 5,000.00

[sushi]

Wow, Exchange Rate went up that much!!!  YAY!!!!  I'm getting a bit richer for now...

China is just after Midnight now.  So, I will try to contact them in the morning and see what option we will have.  Also, I will wait for Texplorer as well. 

Let me go check the exchange rate when the last auction was run at 4.75 BTC.

[mikep2012]

if one spot gets available - i will be interested to get in.

on the other hand - besides the bitcoin value rising, and difiiculty going up in a day or so - maybe the price should be a bit revised.

[r7970]

Remain on the list. Thanks for the support  Sushi.

[davecoin]

Remain on the list.

[Slesh]

I STAY - still interested in antminer. Thank for helping

I am still in but agree with Ridicuss both on your efforts to keep the buy going and that the price because of the Jump in BTC is getting a bit wild, pinning it to a USD value would make life simpler.

Ineedit,

Thank you!  I will explore that area and see!  Wish me a good luck!!!

[BITMAIN]

Hi all,

OP gave promise about "Monday shipping" without our commitment. If we have not given any commitment, it means we cannot. Monday shipping has never been our commitment, and that is why we refuse to post under this thread after we read the OP carefully.

We don't stop group buy action, however, there is not any "official" group buy yet. Group buy organizer use their own reputation to organize the event, and the participants in group buy should know what kind of counter party risk is involved. Group buy organizers may get commitment from us, such as products availability, shipping date or price, which we think are very important in decision buying a mining machine. This kind of commitment is point to point, which means we do not guarantee any group buy's success or risk free. We only make sure on our side that no promise is broken. Such commitment should only be publicly verifiable until we post under the group buy.

Commit day is very hard to get, especially in its early stage of product coming to reality. Lots of unexpected problems jump out and eat the whole team's energy and time, but we fight excitingly everyday. When we know we can ship, we tell people we can ship; then people order, and we ship. That's how we do business. We will open pre-order in the near future, after we are 100% sure about the production capacity.

I hope OP refund the people who paid, and we will open a fixed price open auction with large quantity for the community in the near future. We feel sorry that we have not make things more clear so people mistrusted OP. We hope and invite sushi can clean all this mess up, and we transfer the commitment to sushi: after we get enough fund from sushi, we will ship 30 earliest units to where/who he demands, and we commit to ship on next Wednesday. The price is 4.25BTC


This is the PM Textplorer sent to me.

Timing is everything and i needed to act quick so i´ve posted the group buy here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348747.new#new

If there´s anything you don´t think is possible (time of shipping, etc) PLEASE write to me in a PM first so i can handle the thread.

Now i just need you to post a verification in the thread (ex "We confirm") and you can sit back, relax and have the funds (127,5BTC) to your wallet on Friday

I´ve taled with the manager of the commercial sale and things look good. When can you have 100 S1 ready for shipment and is there any discount when ordering such a large number of units?

[Xian01]

Count me in ! A 48 hour delay is hardly worth getting upset over.

Let's keep this party train rolling !
