Received this email this morning regarding my pre-order of a single Wolf/Blizzard -
That answers that question. I guess I'm not getting my asic
edit: In any case, the increased wattage wouldn't bother me that much, and it would have been nice if they had offered for us to make the decision on our own, instead of pulling the rug out from under us. Makes me wonder what other shops are going to do (although last I checked, they had already shipped out most pre-orders of the blizzard)...

Dear Customer,
Thank you for being a Zoomhash.com Customer.
As many of you know, there are still some power consumption issues with the Wolf/Blizzard Scrypt Asic. Until those are resolved, we do not feel comfortable shipping the units out to our customers.
Therefore, we would like to offer two options for our valued customers that purchased these items:
1. Apply the credit from the Blizzard/Wolf order to an 80 Chip Gridseed Blade Unit @ 5.2-5.6MHs. We will also give you a special price of $650 per unit for these units.
or
2. Full Refund
If you need further assistance, please call us at (888) 933-5282 and press 802 for Bob.
Please respond directly to this email on the choice you would like. If we do not receive an answer within 24 hours, we will automatically do a full refund on the order.
Thank you!

Why do they think this is even acceptable? Most of us have probably been waiting for around a month to get these ASICS, and now they have canceled all orders because of a power consumption issue?? Leave that decisions up to the consumer that has already paid the cost and have been waiting. I don't care if it takes more power, I care about my time. They completely wasted all our time, time we could of spent finding another ASIC for the first batch. Now all of us are left completely out of the first batch wave, missing out on a lot of potential profit and must now either accept a refund or shell out another $450 for an upgrade. And of course ZoomHash waits until the day AFTER they promise everything will be sent, to inform us that they have broken out the oak barrel and for us to bend over it and prepare to get fucked by them.
