Looks like someone spent some money they did not own, then products got delayed and now they can't pay back the interest. I'd call the credit company, maybe they have some sort of grace period, and hopefully you get your refund before then.
If you didn't pay via credit card, then this does not apply to you. Someone I know got wrekt involving credit cards with crypto, and didn't have the money to back it up during this down market. I hope you can get your refund soon. Just keep following up with them via email/PM, but give them time to process.
@dazzmore, now I understand what you meant. No, I did not pay with CC. But do you think CC could be the only reason why you think somebody is  uncomfortable about the situation?

@senseless,
i emailed sales@
Yes, please remind them to process my payment ASAP and update me on Monday.
Also, just to remind you,  in DM on Discord over 2 weeks ago you mentioned that if SQRL do not refund me by the begin of shipping - you will:
Quote
Either they will refund you before we ship, or I will refund you from paypal funds.
After all my order is with your company Allmine, and it is the liable party here.
Thank you.

@dazzmore,
I do not quite understand what you are suggesting. Can you elaborate more? I cannot initiate any returns via banks as far as I know, it is not Paypal. I paid 4 months ago in fiat with an international wire transfer.

I just checked my documents and emails.  I  requested my refund on August 13th. And the order was paid on June 15th (payment receipt confirmed June 19th)

If you requested a refund that early you should have been one of the first. I'll find out on Monday from SQRL why you haven't been refunded yet. Can you PM me your order details?
I have no idea if your cards were shipped to the new customers or not. I can find out though.
@senseless
May be you can spend those few valuable minutes on Monday simply making a refund to me? It will hardly take much longer to do than to have 3 minutes talk with SQRL team. The only cards that i have on the order are those i paid for directly to Allmine. (I used to have SQRL order but i resold it - or i would not have gotten that money either). Plus  I know what their answer was ( "we run out of money, wait"). Yours was that I was not the first in the queue. Honestly, I do not want to know why something did not go in the past as it should have went, it is irrelevant at the moment. I just want a refund.
Also, Squirrels are not returning my messages in Discord since September 27. This also explains the panic mode here. So i d prefer if you spend those valuable minutes refunding me if it gets me my money faster. Also, I do not care anymore if I loose on conversion from USD to Euro or not. You can send it to original account where it came from, to the bank in EU.The details were provided in email. I can resend the details if needed.
Thanks.

Some general info

#1) Orders were placed between June 6 - Sept.  - 5 mo since first order
#2) First refund requests happened around last day of Aug (could be considered Sept 1) - we're about 45 (49 to be precise) days since Sept 1.
Strange.  I just checked my documents and emails.  I  requested my refund on August 13th. And the order was paid on June 15th (payment receipt confirmed June 19th)

Also, could anybody tell me  what 3 weeks timeframe do people mean in this thread? What is it exactly? And when does it start?


Non-ram bcu ...But the buyer is taking a big risk that you even have an fpga order.
We actually did it already a few times, Jess from SQRL helped a lot and supervised the transaction. This way customer knew before paying that the order existed, then the money were paid and the contact info was changed internally on joint venture end.  It always involved somebody from the joint venture therefore nobody got hurt except that i had to do those absolutely unnecessary steps to get my money.

Non-ram bcu with stock heatsink would have shipped earlier this week.
So, this means my cards are not only resold but already shipped to the new customers?

Think of this  - as customers we are only considered when we have paid. We do not say "sorry i will pay in 2-3 weeks or may be later when and if I get paid, may be, but please send the goods today".
. A customer asking for a refund after the order is sent to the CM and before it is delivered creates a cashflow problem. It's easy to see how that problem could become very critical if you don't have deep pockets and if you can't swiftly resell the cancelled units.
@cedivad, I have asked before it was manufactured, way before. I do not see how my refund request that has still not been fulfilled has damaged anybody but me. They were pretty clear: "sorry  looser, we have no more money to pay you, you have to wait". This was more than 2 months ago and I am still waiting, when the  reason for excuse does not exist any more. (Coz they have already resold everything plus have received frozen funds from Paypal orders).  
Now the new thing is, they unilaterally  decided to set  priorities differently again, instead of hiring couple more people to do the refunds part. Why is that customer's problem ?
Honestly, if they can't hire an employee to do a refund, I would pay for it myself,  just to get my money. Damn I would pay for the whole 8 hours of work, even if it only takes 3-5 minutes to process a refund.

@senseless, I hope those who are looking for refund would not need to wait for waterblocks delivery issue to be resolved. And then for installation of those. And then for what comes next after that.
 Please confirm.

Can someone link the discord channel of this? Do you ship outside the U.S? I'm interested to be part on the 2nd batch or maybe those who already given up hopes in 1st batch.
@revenant2017
https://discordapp.com/channels/439880012183896075/452400609275019265
Send me a message on DIscord (@Cryptoman#0825)

To get my money back sooner I will gladly sell you my 4 FPGAs from the 1rst batch at original price (non-RAM BCU1525). EU or US or Canadian wire transfer. If Paypal then the price +plus Paypal fee.
Price is 3,350 per item. But I need to ask if they haven't been sold yet by the Allmine/ SQRL. I am waiting for refund anyway therefore  I do not know what the latest news are. But as I understand, the joint venture has already sold out everything that was supposed to be refunded  a week or more ago.
Would be great if the Allmine and SQRL could confirm if they have resold everything already.

From what I've read the focus is to get the gear out then refunds. I don't know the logistics of the refunds to comment on how quickly they could be done. With the staff they currently have its all hands on deck getting gear out. You will get your refund but its not the priority at this point. Again this is just what it appears like on the discord.
I read all that, and i ask myself why such a priority.  I noticed also that there is some work being done on the bitsreams right now. Why not take 2 days to do refunds instead?! May be shorting cryptocurrencies is another top prirority, who knows, and you need money for that afterall...  Who cares if customers miss bullrun or other opportunities. We have already paid - now we can wait, right?

Been lots of updates, don't know where you are looking
@cryptolumos,
 I was referring to private messages (DM)  on Discord. I was also asking in the boards about updates on refunds and shipping. Only updates I have seen relate to  shipping and tech support on bitstreams and BCUs in general-  i do not know how they relate to refunds. There was one mesage last tuesday (i do notkno wif the guy is a customer or a joint venture) that it may take longer to process refunds.  I got relieved a bit though when I saw photos with boxes. It was really strange not to have them posted earlier. But at least now we know the BCUs exist. It gives some hope.  But it does not explain why nobody can take 3-5 minutes off or hire a secretary to make refunds. Angry

Think of this  - as customers we are only considered when we have paid. We do not say "sorry i will pay in 2-3 weeks or may be later when and if I get paid, may be, but please send the goods today". But for some reason we are expected to exercise patience and consider every problem of a vendor/seller that should not be our concern. And this all is presented as if somebody is altruistically saving the planet or feeding the poor. May be they are, and there is some altruism involved  - I cannot tell.  Good if it is. But nobody signed for that here.

@senseless,
@GPUHoarder

Honestly, I do not even  know what to think now when I haven't seen any answers in DM on Discord from Allmine or SQRL Research for over 10 days now. We have been patient long enough.  How long can it possibly take to do a refund?!  - 3-5 minutes and a few clicks. Hire somebody and pay for overtime if you have no time but do the damn refunds finally!
What are we supposed to think now?  That  you guys are day trading with the money or something? Or preparing to enjoy net operating losses on personal tax returns at our expense for the next 15 yrs? Is there even any money there?

I have an inquiry about the timing of the prospect of a refund, but at all there is no answer. I am shivering thinking it is a SCAM.
 Please give a clear explanation.  Undecided Undecided Undecided

Same thing here.
I d like to see my refund  too some time before I die. I bought cards in June and refund was requested in the beginning of August.
Every time i inquire  it is always  "another 2 -3 weeks to wait", when I get a chance to get an answer. Later they ran out of money for refunds and said they had to  sell the remaining cards to refund. Now as i understand, all is sold out and there are even additional funds from PayPal  available.  But still no time to do a few clicks to authorize a transfer.  SQRL support just answered that they have "no definite timeline for refunds".   I hope I won't hear next that "we are too busy developing  bitstreams" as a next excuse.   Sad
 I do not know if this guys are building cryptocommunism for a greater good, revolutionizing mining or just making money - i do not care, this is not a reason for not taking care of a refund. I only know that i did my part and send my money 4 months ago to some dudes  but haven't got it back yet. (So far I had to resell on my own some of cards from my orders to a new buyer to get part of the money back, partially at a loss).
I can only hope this is not a scam. Let's hope it is not.  Sad May be, the amount is not significant enough to pay attention to a 2 month old refund inquiry, for people who move millions via their accounts. I don't know.  But 14K is a lot of money for me.

mining coins at earlier stage is more profitable ,if you want to choose goodcoin to mine because you don't want to waste your hashrate and time then drop me a message.
@Fluxtorrence9,
Hi.
That sounds very interesting and promising strategy for people who have nerves to wait.
 Id like to learn more about it. Do you have a website, vlog  or something?
I can't send you messages, it says your acct is set to block newbie's messages.
thanks

If anybody is interested to buy BCU 1525 $250 cheaper, I have orders for   4 x no-RAM  version of BCU1525 for $3350  per card ( original price I  paid in June during the first group buy). Currently the RAM version is being sold from SQRL or Mineority for 3600 USD each. I still have an order for 4 cards alltogether (Allmine/SQRL).  If interested,  PM me here and/ or on Discord (@Cryptoman#0825).
PS: I am simply trying to expedite my refund.

60-70% of refunds that have been requested have been sent. Keep in mind, the funds for your board were sent to Xilinx. Xilinx hasn't sent us any funds back for the refunds. There is no preference to which store gets refunded first, the queue is the same and the order is based on the order requested. We are expecting to fulfill the remaining refunds in the next 7-14 days.
Can you send me a PM with your order number? I'll let you know where on the refund queue you're sitting.
@Senseless, PM sent.

You were refunded on the same day as the majority of other refunds. It had nothing to do with your complaints.

@senseless, Who is this majority and how are they better then those who has not been refunded yet? Why hasn't I been refunded although it has been over a month since the official inquiry? I paid in fiat, 3 months ago, requested a refund around 40 days ago. Still nothing.
Same thing with the purchase at  SQRL, I have been waiting for the same time. Are there any preferences who gets refunded first?  
What are those?
Moreover, now we are getting closer to the deadline when you will start shipping and has not seen refunds yet. But the idea of refund due to delay is to get the money back  well in advance of delayed fulfillment. It is not about requesting a refund for fun and waiting together with those who waits for  actual shippment.

Miners care a lot about ROI. FPGA seems too over priced, 4-6K per unit.

Mining with FPGA=Snakeoil?
At the current rate my ROI for my rig is 3 years.
A FPGA even with the current available not profitable bistream is 1 year but indeed, the warranty period is ridiculous.

While the warranty periods are pretty short, the longevity of FPGAs run within specs are not short at all. If the FPGA is run within spec then it is rated to run for 10 years of continuous operation. Failure of other components on the board is much more likely than a failing FPGA.
@nonny12,
 What is the source of your  information about FPGA longevity? And what do you mean by "other components on the board"?  RAM, drives etc? Or components of an FPGA card?
