Bitmain,

My A3 batch 1 order has not yet shipped while others have received their orders today. Being that I ordered on 6-30 at 19:30:48 and paid the same 1.5 BTC as the others, I feel that some compensation is in order for those of us receiving their miners 5+ days later.

I understand that you are trying your best to ship orders out the door and I am grateful for all you have accomplished, but this S3 rollout is dangerously close to the failed "preorder" model you have been wise to ignore in the past.

Regards,

Hi,
we're shipping out the units and you'll get the tracking number very soon.
please wait for the tracking number in your account.
thanks for your understanding and patience.

No mention at all of comp. Undecided

Bitmain initially quoted shipping times of between the 10th and 20th. When they announced the change in specs, they adjusted that to say they hoped to start shipping batch 1 between the 14th and 17th. They're still within the original timeline, even though they had to make some adjustments before sending any out the door at all.

I don't think you're going to get any further compensation, unless they don't ship until after the 20th, and then you can ask them for something.

Disclosure: I created my order 2014-06-30 14:01:44 and received them yesterday. Bitmain didn't update my order status until 2014-07-16, even though the units had actually shipped on 2014-07-15 (China local, so really 2014-07-14 here).
