For those who purchased the GAW scrypt miners initially at the higher price with a Credit Card, have you received a credit back on Credit Card yet? The credit that we would get back for price difference that GAW promised the initial buyers.
I have not seen a credit back on my Credit Card yet is why I was ask.

I got my refund in the form of a store credit. (Some of the msgs above also shows that store credit was given for folks who used a credit card). You should've gotten an email in regards to this if you were credited (perhaps check spam?).

I had to open a ticket and ask for my credit back. It is in the form of store credit though, not refunded back to your CC.

So i'm a huge GAW fanboy but was caught off guard by losing all my hosted hash due to Blade upgrade. I am certain that it was not stated anywhere on the GAW site, including checkout, that I would be without hash until week 3 when the blade upgrades take place. Are you F*&^ing kidding me? 20 days w/o hash and without being told upfront? And before anyone says "well it was here in this thread", when did an off-site thread become more relevant than a companies official website? No mention during checkout, no email..nothing. Just surprise this morning when my cloud UI shows 0 devices. I have to open another ticket to find out from support that my blade has been pulled due to upgrade and get a link to this thread to find out that im done mining. So lets run the #'s: - $500 to upgrade blade (i am thankful for this GAW, dropping $1600 on a blade to see the price plummet in 3 weeks blew)
- Additional $ cost of unit if choosing "hosted" option.(this sux but whatever because it was disclosed
- 2.5% of hash to pay for hosting cost(ok here as well because it was disclosed and support is great)
- ~20 days hash free because of upgrade? WTF is this about? Are all the units already sold and need to be shipped today or is the blade still running and GAW taking 20 days worth of proceeds from a blade I still technically own until it's replaced with the Black Widow? In 20 days the Black Widows will probably be $800...
the above equation cannot be solved because this is bullshit. I don't understand GAW trying to do everything right then jerking the customer around like this. I know i'm a small fish having only spent ~5k with GAW but...no buts, that's 5 grand. It may not cover a set of tires for Josh's Ferrari but it certainly is a lot to me. It said directly on the site: "At the time of purchase, your hosted Blades will be taken offline."

I'm all for a good rant but you're way out in the woods with this one. It was clearly stated on the product page.

Hey Everyone
We are about to issue a official press release about Coinotron.
I ask all of you to not mine at this pool. Their scale is putting all of us at risk.

Are the Fury miners going to be delayed because of the issues at Zeus? They announced they are waiting on new Blizzard cases which they will receive in two days.

It didn't see it :/ Everybody has their moments, that was mine. Ok, now this is awkward... I do want to apologize to Josh and GAWMiners. I really have been happy with my experiences with GAW and their support is second to none. I'm under a lot of pressure and when I noticed my hash was missing this morning I came unglued. Really no excuse to act out, I'm sorry. Josh & GAW, my bad. I lost my mind for a moment, I apologize. ... happy belated birthday?

But it was late at nite and I did not make the order. I am now waiting on a credit and will use it for some new miners or maybe hold the credit until prime project drops.

It doesn't sound like Project-Prime was happening right around the corner so if you're waiting for it, its gonna be a while before any of the "lesser elites" numbers are called to get invites. (Pure speculation here...) on the other hand it does sound like there will be a way to upgrade your hosted miners to it.. again, this is my opinion only and doesn't have any insight as to what Project-Prime really is.

Hey we never got an answer what is in these things as opposed to what is in the zeus machines. I wouldn't care so much except that the power consumption figures on these devices is way higher than it should be. Since you mentioned blizzard I'll use that as an example. Blizzard is rated 15 watts and does 1.26MH/s but fury is rated 35 watts for 1MH/s. Even if we assume the hashing will turn out the same, why does it use almost 2.5 times the power?
