I'm sure someone here would happily sell you their K16 hardware and assembly at a 'discounted' rate
When I suggested the same thing to SB as I hadn't paid for assembly, I was told they didn't have time to reasign unused assembly.
SteamBoat doesn't seem to have time for anything but protecting his bottom line.
BTW, I still see people saying their miners just shipped. Steamboat, what happened to the promise of "3 days for assembly of an entire batch worth of chips"? By that math all the miners should have been assembled in the first 6 days. (if anyone is still waiting for the USB boot loader, stop now. It's not coming.)
Has ANYONE gotten notification yet that their miners are hashing in the hosting center? Have you considered the very high likelihood that Steamboat is already hashing for himself with your units? And if he isn't, where ARE the units?
Also, what about the > 300% profit SB has taken on our shipping fees so far? Personally, I'd like to get AT LEAST my shipping back, like NOW. In BTC, since there is no reason whatsoever for SB to have converted that to Fiat.
WTF SB? Talk to us for crying out loud! You aren't THAT damn busy, and if you are, you shouldn't have committed to that group buy.
