Hey Guys,

Wanted to provide an update for everyone.

I have heard you loud and clear. You're upset because we talked about price protection and a buy back program that we did not do with the last set of miners we released.

While we ran in to some unexpected bumps, that's not an excuse. I should have figured out a way to make it work and taken care of those that have taken care of us. For that, you have my apologies.

So here is what we are going to do to fix it:

We are creating an upgrade path for all blade hosted customers that ordered before May 5th (before the price change). You will be able to upgrade from a 5.2MH/s Gridseed Blade to a 13MH/s Black Widow (week 3) for $500!

Here are the rules:
This offer will only be available until May 18th 12 AM Eastern.
It's only available while our stock lasts.
At the time of your order, we will take your hosted blade offline.
The Black Widow you will be purchasing will be shipped to you (not hosted) by the Batch 3 Ship Date (June 9th).

Those that want to keep hosting will need to sit tight for, but we will have something cool for you in the future. You will not be forgotten

We will always do right by our customers, and we are in this for the long haul. Thank you for expecting more from us, holding us accountable, and allowing us to rise to occasion!

P.S. You still get your free Fury!

Why such a time difference between hosted blade being taken offline and delivery of replacement hardware? Why won't it be taken offline when the new hardware ships? That's over three weeks of downtime if people order at the deadline.

I am a little concerned about this also if I choose to do the upgrade.. can we keep the blade online until the new miner is live?

No sorry, the only way a buy back makes sense is if we can buy back the hardware so we can then resell it

hmm anything you guys could do for that 3 weeks of downtime?

If you don't want the downtime, don't take the deal. Do the math and make a decision. I think it's great that they are making offers. Personally, I'm doing hosting so I'll wait and see.
