I've been with GAW for over 6 months and have had a great experience overall. Their hardware, of which I still have some hashing away was constructed with quality and attention to detail. Very few manufacturers of any mining equipment actually delivered on time, at all, or in working condition but GAW has on every occasion delivered on time, in working order, and over manufactured with a higher tolerance.
They've never manufactured a piece of hardware in their lives.
Only a fraction of companies designing hardware actually own the facilities or expertise to manufacture it.
I pointed hashpower at GAW's official, failed, PayCoin Pool during the PoW phase. I waited for almost a month for payout, but they did come through and paid more than I was owed.
I have been a customer since they purchased Zenminers. Every purchase and investment I made with them has been fair and well supported, and in fact they have held their value or made a return. Besides offering great value for early adopters, there were many opportunities to "take profit" and "upgrade" along the way, ie plenty of exit opportunities, often coming at just the right time before dramatic market turns.
They may have stumbled here and there like any other young, fast growing, innovative company, but they have always come through in the end and made things right. The proof of their legitimacy and good intentions is in their foresight of the decline of home mining and then cloud mining, and so began working on a path to the future, while in the meantime doing their best to provide ROI in the current climate and guide customers through the storms.
XPY may suffer temporarily with the rest of the market, but having stabilized above $3 and vying for 2nd place in marketcap and transaction volume, it has already proven GAW and its customers winners. What the broader market does short term is really out of their control and this seems to have been lost on critics. They can only move forward with their plans and build their next-gen platforms and networks. Rome was not built in a day.

Re: Starting a new FPGA mining farm/contract! Cognitive Resurrected on[Havelock]
I'm sad to see our miners go, but it sounds like it will be a fair deal. If indeed this all actually happens then the shares are a value right now.
However we've all seen this before. I was hopeful for a long time but now it's starting to make sense. It seems Garrett had this exit plan in the works for some months.
Therefore please update us regularly on the progress. I agree with others and don't think private conversations are productive or appropriate.

Thanks for the dividend, which allowed me to purchase another couple shares. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to getting all the units online...
..and with the exchange rate bottoming out and soon to hit $5000, there's a lot to be excited about at .01 BTC per share for COG.

I put the SCRIPTA distro on my RasPi and got it preconfigured as much as I could, but I'm hearing there are issues with chaining large USB hubs together. In other words, if you need more than two hubs you might want to set up another Pi.

Get what's owed us from CoinTerra, sell the units that are unreliable and require too much maintenance, and let's buy the next-gen 20nm ASICs and/or the new Scrypt ASICs being developed by KNC, Gridseed, etc.

Re: [Group buy #3] OPEN GRIDSEED miner BTC/PP/WU worldwide $199.99 USD
I assumed no USB hub included. I ordered two of these 13 ports and one 10 port off eBay for less than $25:

Really looking forward to this and thanks for organizing! I ordered 30, #738, and now we're above order #760...
If you're wondering how to power and control these babies, I'm doing a custom ATX setup with a RPi controller, custom cables to power the miners and USB hubs. The Pi is highly recommended instead of the Wiibox, and running as many units off PCIe power as possible - up to 4 per cable versus 3 for molex, for rock solid stability. I figure I can run at least 16 that way with a nice Corsair AX series and the rest off Molex and SATA with only a few adapters. It would be cool to program a status LCD on the Pi.
This is my first custom rig so it'll be interesting to learn what works best and see how this thing evolves and if I even make any money from it. It's funny to find all these milkcrate and PVC mining racks all over the internet... soon that'll be me too I'm sure.
Let's get this party started!
