I will try to address everyone.
First and foremost, how is Federal Law = FUD?
Now, I will address Senseless. I didn't ignore your points, but I will answer them now.
#1) Many people have working FPGA, including me.
---Of course you do, you are part of the bulk order. If someone helps put together a 5,000 unit bulk order worth millions, of course Xilinx will send you a demo or two.
Are you saying some people from batch 1 have received their 1525?
#2) This was a group buy with Xilinx supplying the products. The delay in shipping was due to component acquisition problems on Xilinx's end.
---Don't shift blame. You should have had a back-up plan. Own your mistakes.
#3) Refunds are being processed. It will take time.
---That's good, but there are deadlines by law. I'm not pulling my information out of thin air. Federal law is Federal law.
#4) The sales for the CVP-13 board was another group buy for bittware hardware. (bittware is doing the production / fabrication there)
---Are you saying you/David/Zetheron/Mineority are not involved in this bulk order?
#5) The lyra2z bitstream we've developed will be released when boards are shipped. We're actively mining on our (ONE) prototype / development unit
---Whitefire said that a much more profitable bitstream would be available Aug. 11th if I recall correctly. Where is it?
---Sorry if your competitor bought your components. That is not our fault. Again, don't shift blame and have a back-up plan.
---I did buy the Xilinx product you offered. I mine with GPU's for a living. Sold a lot of GPU's to get this product in August. Now sitting on my hands, wondering if you are going to
pay my lost wages after 8/31? Whitefire advertised $20-$50 per day...
---Don't work for Bitmain. Just an American trying to buy American, but got screwed. I have the receipt if you want to see it.
---Not 1 person from your outfit has taken ownership and just apologized.
On to GPUhoarder.
---You are absolutely right. You have 26 days to deliver the 1525 without any FTC repercussions.
---Yes, referring to the CVP order. Christian from Bittware said $5,000 max with all the bells and whistles. He actually said probably less with a large group buy.
If you are breaking even or losing money on this endeavor, god bless you and your 4%, 24/7 dev fee on all units. Thousands of dollars a day to pay your programmers,
accountants, taxes, etc.
---Yes anger. Bottom line you didn't deliver, and no one is man enough to take responsibility.
To Elder.
---Threats to censor negative online reviews/feedback are prohibited by the FTC. Look it up.
Let's go by the law, not FUD fella's...
