Has anyone whose order was suddenly marked as "shipped" yesterday gotten tracking info? Seems like there are a lot of us who have not...

My order #12X marked as shipped, but no tracking code yet!!

There's new terminology lesson here on asktom.cf everyday. For instance, "shipped" actually means gone to no-refund shelter, plenty of time to "ship" to customers lately.

They do this and don't realise what impression it will have in the future. Unless they intend to entirely quit the bitcoin miner business, they are shooting themselves in the foot again with such tactics. It doesn't create a good impression of the company. Oh well, they are doing it all to themselves.

Odd, it feels just like they are doing it to me. lol

Seems like folks that saw their status changed to SHIPPED yesterday, really didn't ship.

This seems to be a ploy to reduce compensation claims for not shipping on time.

It's been 24 hours since my status changed to "Shipped" and still nothing from UPS or whatever shipper they are using.

Please speak up if you are in the same boat as me so we can establish a trend.


My request for tracking number was responded to as such:

Hi,
 
A tracking number is sent via email once your order is scanned at the carrier. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate in contacting us.

Order 27xx paid on June 26th.  Status was changed to shipped yesterday around this time.
Eligius shows no stats for my miner which was supposed to already have been tested and shipped.

Now, I'm not one who usually complains, but I find it dishonest that they would change my status to "shipped" when they clearly haven't. I will assume they did this for the reason that they don't want me asking for a refund after they failed to meet their October 15th deadline.

Im sure they are trying their hardest, and they did overdeliver on the gh/s, but the fact is that they did not keep their word on their shipping dates.

lol! Yes. They are doing it to us right now for a short-term gain. But the long term damage of doing it is going to be to themselves. In other words, they are being really stupid and

My day2 went to shipped yesterday and I picked it up from the office today. There are loads of people coming and picking stuff up. One guy came with his van and picked 6 Jupiter's up in one go.

Got to meet Orama and Sam and some of the other guys. They were rushing around like worker bees but still took the time to chat for a few minutes.

I don't comment much just watch the fireworks in here but it is funny heading how people have an inflated opinion of their impact on what it's going on. I can see there are a few frustrated customers, but they have shipped near 1500 miners so there are a hell of a lot of happy customers that no one is hearing from.

And a few probably non customers who are playing out the keyboard warriror syndrome to perfection.

"Peace"

Though I am still waiting for my hosted 39xx, I don't see any reason for all the vengeful anger being displayed here...

There are three kinds of people:
Those who make things happen.
Those who watch things happen.
Those who wonder what happened.

I asked UPS about pickups... They said "Sure, but it generally is available the day after it would have been delivered. It still rides the van, and is turned in after the route."

[pgbit]

Are any hosted customers achieving 500+ GH/s?  The best I seem to be able to get (sustained) is around 430GH with 10+% errors.  I've seen momentary peaks over 500 but never a 10 minute average above 445 or so.

My hosted Jupiter is 230 Gh/s, sorry to report. KnC are aware and have promised to take a look. I will report back immediately as its fixed. Anyone else have one this low on hosting?

Sadly I fall into that category Joeventura brought up:

I did get an emailed note from Emilia earlier as posted in the thread and true indeed I see my order status changed to shipped.   However I received no tracking email from neither DHL nor UPS.



Does anyone know/can confirm  do I need to flash to the latest FW once I recive my unit or will it be flashed to .95 already at this point?

[timmmers]

The cointerra rig doesn't look like it's going to have cooling problems. I'm glad it's just a rendering now, looks like another steep slope in difficulty when those hit market. Looks the business. :/

They're right down the street.  I'll be watching them closely.  Don't need another experience like this one.

Eligus pool is such a scam saying 105% pps...
total from eligius so far in BTC...  3.2 x $150 = $480.00 USD
                         so far in NMC.... 1.45 x .57 =           .82 USD
NMC is not even two tenths of a single percent
BTC transaction fees are like 0.0002btc, so where is this 5%?

Mine arrived today with 0.95 on their latest firmware.

Hahaha. Too true
One thing about ASIC manufacturers, they're all wonderful, leaders in the field, until they get your money.

I will update my first impressions thread with the V2 hardware results once it arrives.

[Phoenix1969]

V2 hardware??  If you mean 4vrm boards...they work fine on saturns, if not a bit slower on jupiters...

May I ask your order number?

                         so far in NMC.... 1.45 x .57 =           .82 USD
NMC is not even two tenths of a single percent

105% PPS for NMC, as in (50/namecoin_difficulty)*1.05 NMC per accepted share (weighted for difficulty 1).  CPPSRB targetting 100% PPS for Bitcoin, putting shares in the share log at 100% PPS. (25/bitcoin_difficulty).

This is all explained on the website. Plus everything needed to verify every Eligius miner's rewards is exposed for anyone to independently verify and prove that the pool is paying exactly what it should.  Eligius is also the only large pool that I know of that pays directly from the coinbase transaction, so, the pool rarely even touches your newly generated coins.

Trying to say the pool is a scam without even actually understanding what and why you're accusing is silly.

5% is 5%... Where does it say that's just for NMC? The top of eligius page says 105% pps, and doesn't specify NMC only on that.  in the end, it's not 5%. Dishonest or misleading at the very least.

[Luke-Jr]

In the end, it's 105%, exactly as advertised.
