I just got an email from minerwarez. they say the price is $2898 each.
so, I bought (2) A741 for $1600 total and they are 7.3TH x 2 = 14.6 TH.
Now I have to pay $2898 for one A821 that gives you only 11 TH.
WTF is this?? we shlould sue them for holding our money and use it.

copy of the emal:
Avalon 821 Purchase update for unfilled December orders:
Thank you again for your patience and understanding. Canaan has made this special allotment available and, as communicated, this offer is available only for the number of miners previously paid for (i.e. for each Avalon 741 unit ordered, paid for, and not filled in December, customers can order one unit at the discounted rate).
The orders will be sent out in March 2018 and the price per unit is $2,898.00 USD (retail orders will open in April at a higher projected price point). Customers wishing to order the Avalon 821 will be asked to make full payment by January 31st, 2018. We look forward to hearing from you by January 15th, 2018. Any outstanding order not specifying will be refunded for their December 741 order. All requests for refund will be honored.
Below is the information provided by Canaan Creative for the Avalon 821. We ask that you remain cordial in your interactions with our staff and with Canaans sales team.
Sincerely,
Minerwarez

I just got the same email and I am pissed. I paid them .39 BTC total for 3 units and they will not refund my .39 they will only give me todays exchange rate..

Now they want me to pay them another 6k to get the 821 units.. That is over triple the price I paid them for the original units yet not even double the hash power..

In my eyes MinerWarez is a fraud point blank!!!!!

I am going to tell them to refund my money and the next batch of miners I purchase will be 841s and directly from Canaan. Until the point that the 841 is released I will run what I have purchased from my unofficial vendor who in fact just got a shipment of 160 in yesterday.

For all those who feel the need to comment about the fact that I have purchased from an unofficial vendor save your breath and shove your comments.. Here is a photo of the units we picked up 10 days or so ago..

So, obviously, the clear intention is to offer 741 buyers such a shitty deal that only a moron would accept it, therefore, nearly everyone will take the refund - and Minerwarez walks away with a nice fat profit in the difference between BTC vs. USD. Essentially a guaranteed arbitrage profit.

So what we need to do is figure out how much money would be lost vs. hiring an attorney with a decent chance of winning a class action lawsuit.

That's really the only way justice would be served.
As for me, I'm willing to LOSE money to see justice done.

If any one can find a attorney willing to attempt at proving that I would preemptively sign all of my monitory rights of the suit over to them just to see a point made! At this point the damage is done and I have already sourced my goods, my anger would be at bay just to know they did not get to keep the difference in coin I lost!

I look at it like this, At our current mining rate by the time the 841 units are on the market I will have stacked enough coin to buy from Canaan and MinerWarez will be a speck on my rear bumper!
