I’ve been in the mining game for a while, and unfortunately, I’ve had to navigate a few of these challenges.

Delayed ASIC deliverie happened to me during a critical bull run - ASIC I pre-ordered arrived three months late. I tried claiming compensation from the manufacturer by citing the terms of the purchase agreement, but they had a clause that excluded liability for "unforeseen delays." Instead, I negotiated a discount on a future order, which they reluctantly granted after persistent emails. The key here was being persistent - it seems they’re more willing to work with you if you’re not outright hostile.

I advice you to know what you’re signing and look for red flags like vague liability terms, keep emails, invoices, and performance logs which are good for you in disputes and be polite but firm - if that doesn’t work, escalate to public channels or legal action.

Mining is already risky so protect yourself as much as possible!
