Could you fill me in on the shifty part?
I know there are all sorts of things that went on but I am not up on them all and I actively purchase from Zeus, GAW, ZoomHash, 112bit and others and I do not want to screw myself over if there is more going on.

Did anyone notice the Wiki for ZeusMiner has been defaced??

WARNING: Do not buy products from zeusminer.com. You WILL regret it

Its a free resource and anyone that wishes to contribute, can. Some people want to help protect people from Terry at Zeusminer because he is shifty and cant be trusted.
hence the WARNING

My personal experience with Zeus Miner has been overall deplorable. I bought some Blizzards from them, but they changed the power consumption specification by 3X and just shipped hardware before anyone could say anything. Its clear they knew well in advance that their promised 15 watts was wrong and instead its 48watts. Rather than telling us Batch 1 customers of this huge change they said "things aren't ideal with these but we can ship them as is, or delay and improve the specs". They never gave specifics on what changed just were vague about it. So they started shipping these before anyone could read between the lines. Once they arrived we all learned the sad truth.

Next, Terry kept promising to make things right for Batch 1 customers. He did make decent amends for the larger clients who bought the bigger rigs, but Blizzard purchasers got screwed. We got these lousy coupon codes to buy more overpriced hardware from him. So if your ROI was non-existnt before it certainly wasn't going to improve by buying more hardware. To make matters worse, he jacked up the shipping prices! For example, I bought 5 Blizzards and paid $50 shipping. To use the coupons and buy two more Blizzards I'd pay $50 in shippping EACH even though they shipped in the same fricken box!

Next, Terry kept promising that their ZeusHost and ZeusHash services would be up and running by now. It was only recently that they finally got their act together and fixed ZeusHost. However, those of us waiting on ZeusHash are again screwed by their delays.

Next, GAW was undercutting Zeus prices and offering better compensation to everyone who got screwed in Batch 1...so Terry had a talk with them and what do you know??? Their prices were increased to match Zeus's.

Next, delays in shipping overall. Many folks who are ordering hardware from them have groaned about the delays in shipping. Also many folks are complaining that because of the duty/import costs of how these are labeled some folks are paying more for importing into their country vs. others.

Finally, Terry's been pushing to sell more of his overpriced hardware and less interested in talking to all of us disgruntled customers. Every step of the way he's been pushing tactics (e.g. coupons vs cash refunds) to ensure the money stays in his pocket now that he has it.

All I know is I've learned my lesson and I'll never do business with Terry or ZeusMiner ever again. They only care about turning a buck, and making it look like they give a shit so unsuspecting folks buy their shit hadware.
