Timmers you are being sensitive. Avenger I'm starting to believe you are a troll. Of course it's unrefined as you well knew. You knew perfectly well they were delivering a product to be placed in your hands in an expedited fashion upon receiving the chips. As such margin upon margins were in place to ensure no post chip receipt refinement was required prior to you being able to hash. Obviously this would mean improvements would then succeed the initiation of delivery, and will continue to do so. There is yet more to come. This is not a first for just Bitcoin mining, this is pretty much a first for the entire IC industry. It's insane. To get this, this right, first time, on 28nm tech is unheard of. Those involved; fab, suppliers, backend, etc. think this is remarkable, and it is.
Again with the unheard of stuff..... No one here who did not get his day 1/2 unit is sensitive. It's called business because we want to make a profit out of it. This is not some apple fanboy stuff where you waste 1k for the looks. It's a decision to make money with a high end product for both ends. That said, they should not have told people shipping at day 1/2 of production if there was even the SLIGHTEST chance of them being unable to deliver on time. 1 Jupiter unit - in hand on time - could have made me 2,5k$ by now.
And all that without getting some sort of statement from them and an offer for honest compensation?
And you call people sensitive? Please, I call not calling them and screaming my lungs out through the phone having balls. I will do that btw. on Monday 2.30 p.m if there will be no shipping notice.
