The service fee has been reduced to 5%, which seems fair. Thanks for the update.

Still curious to hear about assembly, parts and shipping.

Seems fair? This is absolute bullshit. Steamboat already made 10% on each chip order. Why does he deserve another 5% for essentially filling out a refund form from Yifu. Granted he will have to deal with all the paperwork but that was what he signed up for when he organized this group buy - total control.

Why was every other group buy organizer able to provide a 100% chip refund?

This is absolutely outrageous.

Another 5%? What the fuck are you smoking? He's refunding 95% of your purchase price. That's 100% of the chip cost PLUS around 50% of his surcharge. That means he's ONLY keeping 50% of his surcharge, or around 5% of your total cost. How can you be a miner and be this bad at math? Maybe a mutual fund would be better for you, no?

I redacted my statement a few posts later, maybe YOU should learn to read and stop posting your holier than though non constructive posts.

Was probably posted while I was posting, I left it up for a bit.

My post is not "holier than though". I'm just tired of people getting so worked up about all of this. Everyone and their mother has been told to "not invest more than you can lose" in bitcoin. Mining is doubling down on risk. It's a risky business. I feel like there is a core of mature, level headed individuals in these threads and a bunch of screaming harpies. If everyone would gather all of the info before grabbing pitchforks and shouting about how "unfair" life is, everything would go smoother. All of this other noise just makes it harder to sort out what's really happening.

No, was posted yesterday. You seem just quick to go off on your recent rants - you are no better than everyone whining. You are basically whining about the whiners and is essentially the same thing you hate.
