So I'm just wondering, is gmaxwell going to start calling out all of the overpromising/underdelivering, cough BFL cough, hardware companies or just the one's he has money invested in and ignore the one's who have invested money in advertising here. Because there are/have been a lot of them out there and I haven't seen this kind of response until now.
I'm speaking from my own experience. Sadly, I can't really afford to buy a couple units from every vendor that comes along. You'll note that I'm not using any special moderator powers here, e.g. kicking Hashfast's ass for deleting my post in their self moderated thread. I'm here as a (well known) community member.
(Y'all wanna fund me to buy one of every other piece of hardware, I will and then I'll be glad to blast the everlasting crap out of them when they don't deliver... kinda costly though)
Regardless, this isn't all that surprising after my initial meetings with their team before they went public. Something was just off and then I found out they claimed that someone who is actually financially backing another company financed their operations. The dog and pony show was awesome, but when it came down to it, Lil Sebastian was/is late to the party still.
I was in Germany at the time of their announcement and couldn't do my normal due diligence which probably would have saved me and did from several other vendors before.

From now on I wouldn't agree to a preorder without using a multisig escrow or alike just to prevent the current situation.
