Hello Forum Reader,
I just received this email from Pangolin. Keep in mind that I ordered my D1 2 months ago and was told it would be shipped Nov. 20. The lost mining time alone is far more than the $350 they are extorting from me and the value of the miner has decreased INCREDIBLY due to the release of the Antminer DR3. This company is following the worst practices a company can. Stay away from their products as they cannot deliver what they promise.
