Only 2 of 5 orders were ever placed   and I asked for refunds on both of them.

Do anyone know how you would go in and see your order and edit the recieve address, i had expected to get my stuff in the end of august but moved since.

https://store.squirrelsresearch.com/ Just gives a timeout, and my email is not regged on mineority so its not that they just moved the accounts.

I also will be posting letting people know if i got a refund or not. I was in line for two of the regular 215 which were $300 each. At this rate I'm not even sure we will get anything back. Even if we do get refunds back it does not really give me good confidence with squirrel labs. Everything from the very start was just handled poorly. From the rushed pre orders to the lack of actual numbers on these acorns to the way they ignored this page and insisted on getting people to join their discord.

Take money just before bull run.  Hold people off long enough to return less in btc that equal same in usd value at time of purchase.  Do this with millions and you make off with a few years salary. I’m not saying they did this but the lack of communication here would worry me. Longer they stay silent the longer people have to think up the worst.  I’d say they should come with some info.  Sad that this is how this goes time and time again.  Just be honest for once and tell us what the hell is going on.  It goes a whole lot further when your honest then being silent causing the mind to wander

Agree with you. Discord is full of people who are supporting them just because that they are "building something cool". Typical fanboy mentality. I was the most upset that they stubbornly did not want to release the miner till "acorns ship"

I also expect a refund of 2 BCU for 45 days, and I still have nothing.

[nastynatevg]

I now wish I would have opted for a refund, the only reason I did not is because I paid for my order in ETH and it has lost half its value since the time i paid for these things.  This has obviously been put on the backburner in favor of the BCU 1525's. No real updates since 9/24 other than a few pics and the mention that they are being assembled and tested.  No new performance numbers or any information posted here or website.  Fanboys dismissing people that aren't on Discord 24/7 following every comment.  I have an order number in the double digits and only live about an hour and a half away from their site.  Hypothetically I should be one of the first to receive these if and when i ever do I'll let everyone know.  I honestly don't think this is a scam or anything, just believe it has been severely mishandled.  Seems like they are committed to ship in October but that's what I thought about September.

the survey ends on the 11th  so maybe some action happens on the 11th or 12th

it is not realistic to think they will rush to refund us.

But I think they are honest people.

I just dream of a day when I will not have to visit Discord for updates. This project is indeed severely mismanaged and GPUHoarder is running to new ideas before he really finishes one project. I will not be buying anything from him because he does not really care about ROI and things like that. He is not a realist. I do not want be in a constant update mode. I would rather quit mining completely

They banned me from the discord channel bc I wanted to trade an 8 GPU 1070ti rig for a bcu1525. This upset them and they banned me. I see a lot of people wanting refunds I was trying to help out

Thats not a good enough reason to ban someone.
They need an attitude adjustment whoever moderate the discord channel.

Hence why I called the place a circle jerk, that and reddit you get modded away for dissenting non koolaid drinking views.

There were some comments about international shipping that I didn't see get answered.  Basically stating that paying the VAT was shady.  This is perfectly acceptable albeit not typical.  It is called DDP or deliver duties paid.  This puts the responsibility of the duty calculation and charges on the shipper which is why many companies do not send this way.  If they miscalculate, they will get a bill for the difference. 

The method more often used would be DAP (delivered at place, and formerly known as DDU or deliver duties unpaid).  This is what many people are used to and it puts the responsibility to pay duties on the buyer only.

Sending DDP is not an indication of anything shady. 

These are just two of the more common terms for small parcels and LTL freight.  There are many terms outlined. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incoterms

if they paid the vat.  no one knows if they paid it or said they paid it.  so far no one has received the gear.

Now when a European  buyer gets one and says I prepaid vat and have not been charged a second time then you would be fully correct.

At the moment you are hopefully correct.  To anyone that paid prepaid euro vat for the gear.  please  make lots of copies of all the paperwork you have.

as of today my 2 orders are marked paid not shipped not refunded not cancelled.

I will update on and off at least once a week. Until  they refund or ship it.

[philipma1957]

Monday the 15th which I would have liked to think was a shot at a refund.  Since it is a weekend beyond the 11th cutoff date.

I was not refunded

the only orders ever made and paid for   Are  in bold type above.

those bold type ones were about 0.130 btc
and I have no refund for them.

As of today  no one has shown working gear in their possession.
No on has show proof of refund.

A few emails save some hosting gear has shipped to a hoster.  


I really wanted to think this would work out better then it has.

So far the best thing that happened for me is order system worked very poorly  preventing most of my orders  from taking place.

I will not post an update until this friday.  Unless I am refunded.
