In light of the terrible communication and lack of updates on progress. I opted for a refund. The refund amount shown was also incorrect (it did not include the $90 priority shipping I prepaid for). I have since escalated on PayPal, because again, no response.


Have you had any luck since escalating with PayPal?

I'm still waiting to receive any kind of communication concerning further delays or the status of outstanding orders.   Undecided

Hi, yes I have since received a full refund

I purchased a single rig back on May 18th.

I purchased the rig because the website said "in stock." After a few days of no activity, I contacted Bitworks and I was told orders would be 3 weeks out. Ouch. I decided to deal with the bad news and continue to wait. 3 weeks past and still nothing. Bitworks has sent out a couple of bulletins on pending orders and has also stated there is a communication problem. Obviously GPU shortage is one of the issues but Bitworks also had some alleged motherboard issues as well.

Since my order I moved from the original address and had to send numerous messages to get my address updated. When it was confirmed Bitworks would update it, I noticed it was still not updated in their system and has not been to date.

The communication has been extremely poor. This is a major downfall of Bitworks. Regardless of the circumstances, if a website says something is in stock, then I would expect some inventory ready to ship. I put a lot of money on the line to purchase the machine. Overall the customer service is terrible and there is not a product out there that can offset that.

In light of the terrible communication and lack of updates on progress. I opted for a refund. The refund amount shown was also incorrect (it did not include the $90 priority shipping I prepaid for). I have since escalated on PayPal, because again, no response.

I was lucky to purchase some cards the same time I purchased this miner and it forced me to learn to build my own. It's a shame for anyone else who might have been relying on this miner. I wanted to share my experience as a first time miner. Hope Bitworks can turn things around but I will not do business with them ever again.

Anybody have luck on Aika Pool? It uses a Prop payout model. Wondering if I should switch it up to a different pool? I'm running 6x RX 470s

Thoughts?

I'm brand new to mining and am wondering if Hush is a good coin to start with? All of the recent updates look great.

I'm using a R7950 GPU and Claymore Miner on Windows 7 and Aika Pool. Currently getting ~280 H/S.
