At last some pics!
@Beastlymac : How come the main resellers have not been sent any of these 300 blues? Each person I have spoken to has not received a tracking number and are not expecting a delivery.
It totally sucks... without the resellers group buys you would not have had enough orders to run your batch, you would have had nothing. Nice way to show your appreciation for their efforts. You have left them in the firing line taking the flak for your delays and when you had the opportunity it ease the pressure on them, you chose not to and just looked after a few select individuals.
0.05btc compensation is a joke. That doesn't nearly cover what we have lost due to the rise in diff or the price of btc. The next batch of Bluefury's will have to be priced competitively and will mean a substantial price reduction, so the 0.05btc you give us back will be absorbed in the new price.
When the price for the BlueFury's was set, it was competitive with USB Erupters. The 0.9btc for a BlueFury would have got you about 7 USB erupters and would have delivered roughly equal hashing power.
But the Blues shipped late and at today's rates, 0.9btc will now get you 20 USB erupters, giving you around 7GH/s... way more than a Bluefury.
So does the 0.05btc compensation ease the blow? Not at all.
I totally concur. I posted the following similar observation at ssinc's thread
here:
Personally, a 0.05 BTC is an inadequate compensation considering all the factors that have been in play and the fact that at this very moment,
I can get 50 BEs (17 GH/s) with a free 49-port USB 2.0 hub for a mere 1.75 BTC. That equates to 7 BFs at a cost of 6 BTC after the 0.05 discount
is applied (0.85 each)...and they don't come with a 49-port USB hub.
Amusingly, right on cue, some kumbaya lapdogs sort of got their panties in a bunch for merely pointing out such facts. I'm surprised that you haven't gotten your share of the flak on here yet.
Not a lapdog. Just hate whiner victims like yourself that order risky products from risky manufacturers in a risky business then think they are entitled to compensation when it does not all happen to their liking. So they try to justify their whining using illogical comparison arguments in an attempt to prove they have been grievously wronged. In reality they have no place in a group buy and we are dumber from reading their posts.
But no not a lapdog.
Hmmm...must've struck a nerve. I have never mentioned you in any of my posts nor did I whine that I was entitled to more compensation or that I demanded a refund or that I said I was wronged. Yet, here you are; right on cue. Please back your statement up by quoting my posts wherein I stated so. I was merely stating facts in relation to the compensation/credit that has been offered and presented my own "personal" (i.e. only applicable to my situation) view or opinion on the matter. Which part of it is illogical? The big question is: why does it bother or irritate you?
To reiterate, why are you so upset about my statement which is as follows:
Personally, a 0.05 BTC is an inadequate compensation considering all the factors that have been in play and the fact that at this very moment,
I can get 50 BEs (17 GH/s) with a free 49-port USB 2.0 hub for a mere 1.75 BTC. That equates to 7 BFs at a cost of 6 BTC after the 0.05 discount
is applied (0.85 each)...and they don't come with a 49-port USB hub.
I presented facts that are readily available and already common knowledge on here. As the saying goes, "don't shoot the messenger"! Perhaps you're too emotionally invested in this endeavor to an extent that you're getting paranoid. You should slow down a bit and reground yourself.
Purely as a miner, I don't see myself disagreeing to such a sound statement. On the other hand, if I were selling these devices for profit, I can sort of see such a statement as a trivial threat to my marketing effort. The funny thing is that the boys who have the biggest stake in marketing the BFs (Beastlymac and the rest of the BPMC team, ssinc, etc.) didn't even pay any attention to my statement. They obviously are rational folks and know better.
