I am finding this whole experience with bitfury very annoying. 

Glad to see that I am not alone.

I have only seen the H-cards run for a few minutes before the overheating starts.

I don't want to waste time with adding heatsinks, or fine tuning voltage. I just want these to hash.

I really think that pushing the default config for the h-cards to the bleeding edge of performance was a bad idea.

I have 6 BTC in pending sales. 4 BTC sale was due yesterday, 2 is due on Thursday.  This has already damaged my trust.

When I see this type of activity, I think ponzi.  I just hope that we all don't get screwed.

I just sent a support ticket(before seeing this thread), let's see what happens.

Fully refunded today..

Also posted in the refund list

Any idea when payments in queue will be sent out?

Edit: Just saw it...thanks!

Looks like BFL fixed the upgrade omission.

Is there any way to purchase upgrades through the BFL website, or is there a different website for upgrades?

I am really getting tired of being taken by bitcoin scammers.

My refund request is from 9-Jan-2013, still not received:

occulta's reputation is solid.  It is always a pleasure dealing with an honest seller. Gift card successfully credited to my amazon account..Thanks!

Received package today...all good!  I wouldn't hesitate to repeat purchase.

PM'd you earlier.

Silver received today, super fast. Good transaction.

FYI, I noticed a couple of places that you refer to bit-pay.com, however the url changed to bitpay.com.

HTH

Stratum is working, but giving warning messages. I'm not sure if these error messages would have a detrimental effect to share submissions...

Received payment also.  I don't need instant availability of bitcoin either, just not getting ripped off is fine. FYI.

Excellent reject ratio, btw!

I actually deleted my current stratum then rebuilt from git.  I get the same error.  It is exactly like gr0bi42.

Well, I should have already been paid -- twice. It really does not matter what you say, I need to see bitcoin sent to the wallet or it didn't happen..

This message comes from the slush's stratum proxy..https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy

I was using cgminer 2.9.5 with the --fix-protocol parameter to connect to slush's stratum proxy, then I just pointed the proxy to btcoxygen.com.

I don't like mining at a new pool when payments are sketchy. I've been mining over 15 hours without payments being activated.  Approaching almost triple my minimum threshold. So time to take a break.

FYI when using stratum proxy

2012-11-27 21:57:58,967 INFO proxy jobs.extranonce2_padding # Extranonce size mismatch. Please report this error to pool operator!

No problems when using getworks.

It's actually worse than pointless, since the addresses used start with a 1 the same as bitcoin.  This is something that the creators of the other alternate chains did not mess up!  A terracoin address is not easily identifiable as a terracoin address.
