So, is cancelling and getting a refund from Minersource at all possible?
I say yes, and the following is how I came to that conclusion.

DyslexicZombei has vetted me thru his service, and will providing help regarding the buy and hosting.
Let's see who DyslexicZombei is, and what service Matt speaks of that he owns, shall we?

This revelation could only mean one thing! Matt Carson will refund, because...
Ergo, any Bitcoiner having the ability to convince other bitcoiners that he can be trusted because he vetted himself WILL most definitely refund any other Bitcoiner who has ordered from him with no questions asked, and in a timely fashion. Simply ask! Isn't that right, Matt X Matt Carson?Question: How many of you bitcoiners that ordered miners from Black Arrow or through Matt Carson's venerable site are going to wait till after the May deadline has past before you request refunds?
As an added bonus, for those asking themselves "Who the hell is James Hilliard?", perhaps I can help, albeit there's only one tiny caveat: It'll cost you $5,000 USD via BTC if you don't know how to use Google. Simply hit me up via a PM, whereupon I'll provide you a bitcoin wallet address to pay me that $5,000, then I'll share with you some startling information that will just blow your ass away. It's such a small price to pay, especially for those that may have pre-orders at some other unnamed site (hint) and desire to be first on its refund list, in which case saving you perhaps tens of thousands of dollars more.
All that said above, now what are the odds that Matt X is closely related to Matt Carson, even though they have clearly already vetted each other?
So we got any official reps here from Black Arrow besides OP?
For now theres me, and BlackArrow_Matt. For a while I thought he was impersonating me... we have the same name and I got confused lol.

I'm not hiding or anything(I didn't hide the whois intentionally), just don't know why you care. I'm just not exactly active on the forums. I have made a commit(
) to cgminer though.
