I doubt he'll try to scam us, if you look at his replies in this thread and emails everything has been done to the best of his ability and quite professionally so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the reason we're not getting any update is because he's flat out organising and shipping miners for those who accepted them.
The last update from steamboat via email was only 11 days ago but for those who are wondering:
"Many of you are still waiting for information regarding the assembly refund process. We understand the wait is aggravating, and appreciate your patience in this matter. Our resources are finite, and the work load for this project has increased substantially due to reasons outside our control. We will be publishing more information when we are able, and can assure you the solution will be as fair as possible. You will not be punished for our lack of timely response in this matter."
+1 Steamboat has done everything in his power to manage his time wisely, in my opinion. This is a large and intense process--he's done the best I would ever expect someone to do given the issues we had in the supply chain.
