I can only second that GandalfG.
Zefir - without knowing details of said transaction - I would very much assume that you didn´t do the deal in full selflessness.
If the price wasn´t right - the deal would have never taken place. You got fine fiat and were furthermore derisking your investments!
Besides Bitmine´s efforts to speed up delivery - there are stil unadressed issues.
- I.e. the change of return policy after the preorders were filled being the biggest one!
The risk was derived from Bitmine AG to their customers in an illegal way imho.
- Another one being the outlook for a upgrade to gen 2 bitfury chips - which is not adressed anymore.
- The third issue being the following (closely relevant to the second):
That´s part of a recent Bitmine AG PR sent out by it´s now majority shareholder (at least according to their news release):
http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/established-multinational-investment-firm-plunges-into-bitcoin-funds-development-of-next-generation-asics/
Massive Luck Investments is currently in the final stages of making pre-production arrangements of ASIC chip sets, based on the most advanced existing 28-nanometre technology, with both power consumption and hashing power characteristics significantly outperforming any existing or publicly announced Bitcoin mining ASIC technology. Some of these next generation ASICs may be made available to the public, but the great majority will be utilized in their own datacenters, for industrial scale mining.
So in essence Bitmine AG is turned into a mining shop - directly competing with the oh so valued customers.
This is a very bad move imo and makes me consider to exert the former return policy and cancel all my bitmine orders immediately.
I am still awaiting a reasonable statement from Bitmine AG.
