Important Notice: This is a pre-sale item scheduled to ship in Q4 and could be subject to delays. All sales are final.

So apparently if it gets "delayed" again then you shit out of luck.

I doubt it will as I'm sure bitmain got all their chips by now.

Not too worried about the refund. If they are smart, refunds should be processed no later than August 31st. The original invoice did not say, ''All sales are final''. In addition, Squirrels told me this before purchasing, ''Shipping starts in August. You should have it mid-late August depending on transfer times.'' No addendum for possible delays was added or ever mentioned.

If you do a pre-sale on Ebay for example and don't deliver, they kick you off faster than a New York second and do everything in their power to get the buyer's funds back.

They breached their ''contract'' regardless of Xilinx delays, and shifting blame. That is not our fault. I'm not a lawyer but they could be in very hot water if they delay refunds or don't pay. Imagine the people that possibly bought 10+ units. Whew, I'd be pi**ed off.

I believe these guys meant well, but they didn't do much R&D and rushed into this order. There should have been a back-up plan or contract with Xilinx, stating some sort of discount or repercussion for not delivering on time. Maybe they are getting a discount for the delay, who knows. Not meeting deadlines is unacceptable. Customer service goes a long way and this ''start-up'' is off to a horrible start.

I truly believe that for each day after August 31st, they should pay everyone $20/day per unit because we expected to be mining by then, and $20/day was their low-end advertised rate. Check page 1 of this thread.

Icing on the cake...they are abandoning these boards and going with Bittware in the future. One could deduce that they will focus most if not all of their efforts and bitstreams on the new board, not the 1525. Just speculation.

Wish them well, but as they say, ''first impressions are everything''...

Just my opinion.
