Also, I don't think they owe us any compensation. No where did they promise to give compensation if they were late. I'm happy with what they are giving us. I realize some people are not. Everybody can't be happy.
Actually they did...
Black Arrow promises to do its best to offer lower retail price than its competitors and guarantees that in the eventuality of a price decrease before shipment, all preorders will benefit of a proportional increase in hashing power. For this reason the customers who have been with us from the beginning will always receive the best deals.
I don't want to get in an argument that does no good, but they don't mention any compensation if they're late, just security for early buyers if they sell it at a lower price.
Yeah they did because they promised it at time of shipping, with others prices decreased and hash rates up the compensation comes from that.
Again, it says they will match ghs at time of shipping. Nothing about if they miss the shipping date, you'll get compensation. I was only referring to compensation for being late. Shipping hasn't happened yet, so wait until then to complain. Then you'll have reason to complain about a broken promise if they don't match.
EDIT: I don't have that much money in it (3 batch 1 X-1s) because that's what I could afford to lose if it all went to shit, which it had the strong possibility to do.
I don't know why people are arguing with you, they never made any promise to compensation, just to give the best value of gh/s for your dollar. No company is going to come out and say "guys ya know if we miss the date we tell you we are shipping by we are going to give you free shit" because that means that is possible that they will miss the fuckin shipping date. That is not how most businesses operate. Most people actually TRY to live up to the standards they set for them selves.
They don't putz around for a month setting up a random guys bitfury boards for him.
Guess you missed this one then:
Dear Customers,
We just want to let you know that we have not forgotten our promise and we will match in Ghash any competitor at the time of shipping. There is no point in discussing yet what extra hashing power you will receive as we have not started shipping yet.
ASIC price match announced in
this thread is part of our promise.
Regards!
Didn't miss that. That does not say anything about them giving you something because they miss deadlines. All that says is exactly what I said, and exactly what the other guy said, is that they will not be charging you more per Gh/s than anyone.
In addition to the 1 unit for every 2 ordered, there should be some type of price reduction or something on the units to get them on par with what is available dollar per hash wise.
Either that, or you are correct, that there has really been NO compensation package for the delay, and that the additional units given are just to satisfy their "best price per hash" guarantee.
What does it matter what we call it. Because they were late, there are other units on the market at better prices, and they owe us compensation for that...So indirectly, because they were late, they owe us more units. Call it whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is, they will need to reevaluate and come to some conclusion about what we deserve, and if that falls short of their promises, they will probably lose a ton of business. So call it what you want, it is the same thing.
