sorry to say but DZ has been a disappointment for me as a whole experience now.
So please make a distinction
DZ,
I can't speak for the other guy but just as an observer here, what he said was that
his experience was a disappointment "for [him]." That doesn't mean that nothing (or even most of what) you've done has been of great value to the members and the community at large.
My own experience has been somewhat mixed. I wouldn't necessarily say a disappointment but I can certainly understand how others with a slightly worse experience than mine would feel that way.
Thanks, I just wanted to clarify that there's things beyond my control, and this co-op was set up with the best of intentions to help provide rock bottom prices. I haven't seen a single GBC in the co-op try to rip off anyone, so it kinda pisses me off to get blamed for things which I can't influence or change, such as mfg. delivery dates.
In a damn perfect world, these miners would be arriving shortly and we'd all be stoked, but instead we live in the real world, where this shit is hard and miner disappointment about delivery dates is a "normal" thing. Contrast this refund process with HF, who went back against their public word from both Simon Barber and Cara, about full refunds, and it's taking thousands of dollars and months just to get to the point where we can sue them to recover our full BTC (280+ IIRC) that was sent to them.
If you're disappointed about this slow manual refund resolution and process, how do you think us HF buyers feel, who have still been completely ignored by them WRT to full refunds for months even with attorneys?
I mean: jiminy cricket, bobsag3 friggin flew all the way to the UK to discuss the situation with BA (besides his first visit to HK) to check things out on your behalf and to plead our case. Name me one co-op on this forum that has gone to these lengths for their customers. This may look easy, but I'm telling you straight, all this in its entirety is: hard.
DZ you are all right in my book. So much so that I left 5 shares in while only cashing out 5. A lot of people did not get burned and made money with you. But miners can be a bit flakey I would guess the more then one miner that purchased shares in r5+r6 thinks even that was a bad deal
Meanwhile I made more then 5100 usd for a 1482 usd investment. That is a profit of 3618 usd in about 4.5 months. And I still collect hash on it.
Now it did not do btc roi and those that believe in btc roi would say they lost. I am not getting at them for that belief but with many of us believing in btc profits and many others believing in fiat profits you will never please all of us. My records have me ahead thousands of usd. So you guys are fine by me.
