Ran in to a slight snag with my headless (low power) linux machine I will work on that this weekend. So Rather than
F___ around I set them up on my W7 64 machine and it was simple. It took me longer to route the wires and plug them in than it did
for me to write the batch file and get them going. It took them about 10 mins to settle down and for the invalid nonce errors to drop off.
I will need more uptime to see the overall invalid shares but it looks good so far.

I would rate the overall Experience of dealing with GAW miners 4.5/5 Stars.
The only reason I did not rate 5/5 is because while some may have no problem "Pre-paying" for items and waiting
that was a first for me and also others my self included have experienced broken tracking numbers. If these things are still
going strong in say 2 weeks , I will place another order with them. I am considering a Black widow.

>Cheers !

Everything has its use in your setup: old heat sinks, recycled laptop, cd cases Looks good, happy hashing!

Lol, thanks man. I actually have it all running on the recycled netbook under W7 64 now and all of it is drawing a little under 200w at the wall.
The heat sinks are out of a Dual G5 mac tower circa 2006. I should call that rig "The Recycler"  

UPDATE: I usually restart my gridseed asics after 24 hours or so due to the fact that the performance seems to drop off, It has been over 24 hours on these fury's and they are actually running faster now. And after 24+ hours error reporting is :
Invalid shares
1.04%

Im sure most have seen this article , I had not until yesterday :
http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/gawminers-ceo-josh-garza-got-bitcoin-scrypt-mining-asic/2014/05/06

What really caught my eye was :
"At the time of publishing their financial forecast has went up from $30 million to $100 million.  That is exceptional growth"

all I can say is wow. Interesting point on them accepting LTC or BTC as a future payment option.
I now have a working tracking number my order should arrive tomorrow .

My tracking say's the same & it WAS Fedex,Estimated delivery : 6/27/14 

We'll see 

No delivery for me     No idea why either,PM'ed Amber & no response in 48 hrs,sent off a email to GAW support sat evening.

Hope they tell me something soon.............................

Not sure where else to write to because support has been non existent for a week now. Ordered on May 22 2014 and still have not received a working miner. Its been over a month and I paid the week 2 prices and have not been able to mine anything. Happy for all of you that had a good experience with GAW, but mine has been hell.

Seems like his company can barely maintain it's customer service because it's too focused on profits. So if it's mandate was better customer service and it's sacrificed it, then what exactly is he selling? A product that sells itself while reaping a tidy profit on customer service spin.
Uber shady.

Hi! I am Amber, GAW Community Relations Manager, if you ever have any questions or concerns regarding customer service please visit me at https://hashtrader.com/users/gaw_amber/activity or email me at amber@gawminers.com.

There will be bumps along the way when traveling a new road. We are improving everyday and I think together we will continue to change the industry!

I ordered a Week 2 War Machine still waiting. Asked for a refund multiple times and no reply . ORDER #4106

[Gentso1]

I sent a ticket into support on 6/29 about my A2 miner being down. It shows up in the UI but I can not restart it and most importantly no hashing is being reported pool side. My ticket number is 19120. I also replied to this ticket on 6/30 just to get a update or when my miner might be back up but I have gotten no response at all. I have been with GAW since before they even had a UI available but it seems there ticket turn around time is increasing.

What is up with gawminer ignoring customer for over a week?

Have they make enough and decided to make a run for it?

Thats an absurd question.

I myself had issues with GAW on a wk2 order. It was resolved with a beyond the call of duty fix.
They are a young company in a young industry.

They are growing every week, and so is their customer base.
I dont know your specific issue, but the best/fastest way to get your concerns addressed is to go to their actual forum:

Good luck
