Dear Forum Users and Customers,
This will be our last announcement here
![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
.
Lets start with a brief update. The last few days have been incredible. Between shipping all the first weeks’ Generation A Miners and launching our partnership with ZenMiner, it’s been an exciting week!
We could not be more excited by the feedback we have received from our
GENERATION A LAUNCH; here are just a few comments:
Review:New user, first post here.
Boxes have started arriving in the mail, and I just wanted to give some major kudos to GAW and Josh in particular. We took a gamble on you for this pre-order business but I'm starting to breathe much easier now. GAW has delivered on absolutely everything they've promised, and much, much more.
- store credit to compensate for Gridseed price drop
- next day, free shipping on product launch
- non-stop engagement on this forum by Josh, keeping us informed and answering questions and concerns
- excellent response to customer service inquiries
- free zenminer controllers
Oh. My. GAW.
Seriously. I just keep getting more than I ever expected.
And I'm sure I'm missing some. This level of customer service (especially in this particular business) is unprecedented, and I have to believe that this product launch is a loss-leader when everything is tallied. BUT... GAW has made a loyal customer here, and probably many more.
Whatever the mining future holds, I can't wait to see GAW play a major role in it. Keep up the great work.
Review:I just got the unexpected Zen Controller / Raspberry Pi gift from GAWminers. Thank you so much! I've never received a outright gift like that from a company before.
And I got tracking for my Week 1 Fury - maybe slightly behind schedule but the free upgrade to DHL courier more than makes up for that. It will get here days sooner than regular post.
Thanks for everything GawMiners!
Review:My Black Widows are running for a few hours now, the mentioned 18mhs seems about right. Variance is quite high but in the long run it's arund 18mhs.
So getting 18mhs for an advertised 13mhs machine is quite outstanding if you ask me!
Cheers and thanks GAW-team
Review:I have a Fury hosted and can report of the same hashrate, very happy, too :-)
Review:My miners have been up and running for a few hours now so I thought I'd report the hash rates I'm seeing.
Black Widows - portal and poolside, 18MH/s!
Fury - portal, 1MH/s, poolside, 1.6-1.8MH/s!
Review:Wow, I am beyond happy. GAW delivered early and the miners are producing way over advertised hash rate. What more could you ask for? Awesome. Cool
Only down side is instead of taking those $750 used G-blades of your hands I'm gonna have to buy another Black Widow now. Cheesy
Review:Another happy GAW customer here. I've ordered (and received) 2 Gridseeds from them in the past and just completed an order for a Fury.
Very happy with the service (Amanda was great!) and looking forward to getting the Fury and included Zen Controller!
Review:Received 2 days ago, super easy setup and running at 1.3-1.8 mhs. Great customer service and Zencontroller is amazing. Waiitng to see those week one prices again. Keeep up the good work gawminer
Review:1 week Fury. Im very happy with this product. Nice hash 1.3-1.4 MH/S in my pool. Working good with free ZenControler. What else?
Review:Received my ZenMiner 1 day before receiving my Fury , Web page is easy to access , nothing hard to config , ZENOS as been updated
now we can see accepted shares etc.. much better now , and will probably be much more better in a few days
Review: I bought a Black Widow from GAW after my Cyclone from Zeus. My Black Widow shipped AFTER my Cyclone, and my Black Widow is hashing away at 14MH/s while my Cyclone sits in a Chinese warehouse being probed. I'm definitely unhappy with my Zeus purchase and wish I had put that money towards a bigger box from GAW instead.
GAW seems to be the perfect company to buy hardware from at this moment. Where zeus was first in the spot of: best hardware company, now GAW does. They offer free shipping (or for 25 bucks express shipping), and are a lot cheaper than Zeusminer. And oh they even give a refund... I think about 80% of the people would actually cancel their order if it would be possible, and go to GAW miners. But maybe I have an image of GAWminers which isn't realistic
I'd go with GAW again in a heartbeat, they even take cc's which makes this easier.
As the week ends, we have another exciting announcement
GAW Miners is moving from the bitcointalk forum:
We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with "Get Satisfaction" to launch “GAW Community”! Our new platform will allow us to deliver better support and announcements.
We will also offer new features like being able to vote on new products you would like us to offer and pitching us ideas!
GAW Community is located at: community.gawminers.com
This has been an amazing ride and we are so thankful to everyone in the community that has supported us here. We thank the staff at bitcointalk for their support and dedication to our company.
Going forward, all support and conversation will take place on “GAW Community”. So we will be locking this thread. We will still check in on our PM from time to time, but we will no longer provide any support through bitcointalk.
Farewell and we will see you on GAW Community!

Hi Guys,
Sorry for the lack of updates. Here is a brief update!
This company has grown like crazy. If our sales did not increase at all, we already have passed over 40 million in annual sales. And, our sales numbers are still growing (this has been in less in a month!). In the last month, we have built a new data center, built new code and software that did not exist, did over a million in sales in two weeks, and even began building our own miners. We did this with 7 people.
The largest reason for the delays is because we have been using what little man power we started the company with, to training new people to expand our support and customer service. Most of this has taken place in the last two weeks, which is why this changed over the last few weeks.
We are not complete, but we have a large part of the training done. I am happy to report we have grown our staff by 200% in the last three days. And, we will hire about 75 people in the next six months.
We are also training more people to answer the phones so we are able to take care of an issue on the spot.
In my years as a CEO, I have never trained a team of people to run a company this large in three weeks. Every company I have run; we budget at least a month and a half to recruit, interview, and train new staff. This has certainly been a learning experience.
We are working as hard as we can to get back to your requests. I literally had two employees, that were so sleep deprived, fall sleep while standing Smiley
Our staff numbers are growing, our systems are getting better, and there is some exciting things coming. As I type this, we are having a “ticket party”; I have every person in the company working on support tickets and we will be at it all night.
Thanks for the patience, every customer will be rewarded for their loyalty and patience!
Josh
You guys wanted a special founders program?
Well here it is! For a limited time, we will swap out your hosted 10 pack for a new blade for $499.95
If your not a GAW Hosted customer, you better become one. Because more deals like this are coming soon! (did someone say double pay out week?)
http://www.gawminers.com/existing-customer-gridseed-asic-blade-miner-upgrade-program/GAW becomes official Gridseed Reseller!Today Gridseed announced their picks for the five, world-wide, authorized resellers!
We entered this space several months after our competitors. We were competing with companies that had
months to show Gridseed their capabilities, and we had just
two weeks!
In every way, we were the underdog. We had less experience, less time, and the least amount of market penetration.
Today we were placed in the top 5 Gridseed distributers in the world! Check it out!

(update 3/31/2014)Hi Everyone,
We have not given a proper update in a while. So here it goes!
These last two weeks have been crazy. From some of the best conversations with customers that I have ever had, to running to the post office with 100 boxes ten minutes before closing, to talking to my staff at 3:00 in the morning while they fell asleep on the phone, and to receiving some of the best feedback I have ever read.
It's been a fun ride so far, and it has only started.
I found out today, that our competitors are actually buying misspellings of our domain names and forwarding them to their website to try and capture business and keep up with us. It made me stop and think "we are doing something right". But, after that thought passed, I realized that was only partway true. If it had not been for this community, we would be not be here today. Many companies' say that. But, I think it's true here more then ever. People here gave us a chance. And, it will be a privilege we will always need to keep earning.
I think competition is the best thing for business. When business have to compete, they have to out perform. When they get complacent, customers' leave, and new companies rise up out of nowhere and make change. As our company grows, I know we can always count on you to keep us moving. To never allow us to become complacent and to never take for granted where we have come from.
All I can say is "thanks again". Thanks for expecting us to do what we say we will and being patient with us when we needed to catch up. I will continue to believe we have received more than we deserve.
There are so many new and exciting things coming, but I wanted to keep this update focused on just a few.
Referral Program- We will be starting a referral program soon. Over 50% of our business is repeat customers. And, most of our new customers come as referrals from those customers. I have been looking for an interesting and different way of rewarding those customers. We have more details soon, but it will be new and fresh. I will also make it retroactive. So, if you have referred business to us in the past, and we can confirm the referral purchases with you, you will received 100% of the upside.
Hosting Rentals- Part of the upgrade we just performed was adding four digits of hashing power
![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
. We will be offering customers the ability to buy hashing power in any configuration they want. We will even be rewarding our customers that have referred business to us with it. More on that soon.
New Hardware- We are adding new hardware to our website daily, so keep visiting to see more selection of hardware.
So that's about it for now. It's been a long day.....but there is still more to do. Thank you for your support!
Josh-CEO
