Steambizzle...
Thank you immensely for all the work and frustration and suffering you have had to go through in organizing this group buy.
If I got the miner today it would only be churning out like $3 a day, with that number dropping by ~20% every couple weeks. At this point, I believe the most prudent thing to do is accept a chip refund as long as they are being offered, as the chips I ordered are rapidly approaching uselessness at this point. So that is what I have done.
However-- I am definitely interested in the fabled 55nm gen-2 chip-- and hopefully you will be offering assembly of miners using the new technology, so I am staying invested in my assembly/shipping in the hopes that at least a portion it can be used toward assembly and shipment of a generation 2 product in the (hopefully near) future.
I know you and your team busted your asses to have everything ready to go, expecting the possibility of having 30-40k chips show up at your door only to be left dangling in the breeze when *nothing* showed up, meanwhile bills still have to be paid, people still have to be paid, and development is ongoing on the board design. I get that most of the monies you collected for assembly and shipment have already been invested into the infrastructure to make this all happen to begin with, and the possibility of 100% refunds just isn't there. I understand this, it was a risk I accepted going in.
While a lot of us feel pretty royally screwed-- you were the one who took the worst of it, and I believe you have done everything you can to make all your group buyers whole again in this whole debacle, and I really hope we can actually see some hashpower rolling off your assembly line soon
