You can try to get a refund, but again I don't condone hurting a small business because of the risk that the customer took. I consider this fraud and won't be part of it.
(The above can be changed if the company advertised falsehoods such as BFL, but so far Terrahash has done nothing wrong (No matter what the "Kooks" will have you think))

Selling the Hardware once Terrahash ships is probably your best bet. People will pay a fairly good amount for HashPower in Hand.

If you are feeling a little brave and risky, you can mine with your hardware for 2-3 Weeks after receiving it and then Sell it for a decent price. As long as No HUGE players like KnC Ship during this timeframe you might come out ahead of just selling it when receiving.

Either way, there are still plenty of options. Hell if KnC misses their deadline this Unit could pay for itself easily. (I don't think KnC will miss that deadline)

That being said a 75% linear monthly difficulty increase isn't going to stay that way past maybe 3-4 months. Then it will level off unless you see some other big players selling $2/GH units. (Could happen!)

I agree. This is not Terrahash's fault and Kooks has some more nefarious reason to see them fail. It's Bitsyncom/Avalon you need to be chasing, but they won't answer, which is totally irresponsible, they know what people have riding in this. They openly encouraged people to creat businesses around them.

Yeah, I don't blame TH, I really do appreciate what they are doing and all their hard work. I don't (currently) have the skills to assemble the boards and chips, but want to mine, so their as well as other's work is appreciated. I realize Bitsyscom is the holdup, or at least I believe they are saying a large order of recently shipped chips are stuck in customs. I have never debt with customs, does anyone know what type of realistic time frame we might be looking at?

You have the correct documents, you pay import duties, you walk away with goods the same day in person. If with a courier, you pay import duties over the phone, you receive the following day. In China without the correct documents, you pay, items are released. There is zero chance a multi billion dollar company, like TSMC packaged without the correct documents.

I'm not sure I understand. Does that mean that the chips that are stuck in customs will only be there for a few days?
