Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Below is an email I got on Jan. 17th, where they claim miners are not scheduled to ship until the very end of the month...........which is total BS. Units should have shipped Jan. week 1 and already be in the hands of users.....but they say none have shipped=SCAM!!!

Xtreme Miners
6:51 PM (9 hours ago)

to me
Hello,
we haven't shipped any units yet, why exactly would you think that?
The first miners ship at the very end of this month.

Okay guys so if you’re interested, read this, if you’re not, don’t.
I just ordered a Tiger and a Lion ffrom Xtreme Miners.
I know it is risky, I know it is possible that they are a Scam.
But seriously, many of you mine themselves so they know that this chance is actually bigger than the risk you take.
Go to coinmarketcap.com all the alternative currencies are raising like crazy , because everyone who still has GH miners will now switch to the other currencies – because the BTC difficulty is too high.
This is the chance to mine other currencies like PPCoin.. remember when bitcoin was worth only a few cents and now everyone is like „omg i should have kept those coins“ well now the other currencies are worth a few cents, but they can go up as well
You could win so much with these miners, you could also lose all your mooney, and i take the risk
It used to take me 10 days to mine 10 bitcoins, so if you saved the bitcoins from a couple of months ago, you only lose a couple of days that you have beem mining.
In a few months you will remember this thread and say, you should have invested in the alt-currencies as well

This is simple math: the risk is so tiny compared to the amount of money you could win. We’re all miners and a few months ago my bitcoins were worth 100$. So 10 BTC were worth 1000 $ , and if i invest that now i may lose originally 1000$, but i could get for example a lion that makes 41 btc a month in january (difficulty 2688MM) , that is crazy and the breakeven point is reached super fast.
So if I lose, i lose 10.000$ that were worth $1.000 to me, so the pain is not too big. But if I win, i can get $36.000 (IF the bitcoin price wouldn’t even go up until january)


...seriously, many of you mine themselves...
...now everyone is like „omg i should have kept those coins...
...You could win so much with these miners...
... the risk is so tiny ... money you could win ...
...We’re all miners ...

used car salesman I think  -  ignore the smoke from the tailpipe, I'm not making a penny from the deal

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they would do themselves a big favour by at least releasing video showing where they are at in developing their miners. Both Cointerra and Butterflylabs have done so with their newest products. I am not so concerned that there isn't a big sign outside of a business location announcing their presence, turns out that is quite normal for large scale mining operations, and I assume they would also be mining as well as building rigs.

If we do not see a video within the next few weeks, or hear that they have begun shipping in that time, then this is either a scam, or they have failed to use the preorder funds to produce what their website claims they can.

Support the two platforms essential to protecting the identities of whistleblowers. Both accept bitcoin donations.

I sent them an email asking if they had any photos or videos of their miners, and more specifically any of their miners in action, actually mining at the claimed speeds.

The response was that they we're too busy to take photographs, so I said something like "So you're selling hardware for thousands of dollars and don't even have photographs of them" and the response was "Yes that's correct"
