I know I'm going to be trolled like hell for saying this.  I'll say it anyways.  I really don't think you should buy this until people start receiving them, much less take a loan out for it.

This seems like a perfect scam:
1. Get trust by making a product and selling it.
2. Make a "new product" that's 10x better and 5x cheaper. 
3. Offer trade-ins of the old product.
4. Get all of the old product back, get more money.
5. Disappear.

I mean, they may very well be legit.  But I just think that it's a scam.  Especially because they are only offering NON REVERSIBLE methods of payment.

Get scammed, you're fucked.

There is no rush. They never delivered on time. You can purchase one in 3 months.

It makes no sense to give BFL free money for 3/4/6 months where you are paying 10%+/month on the coins.  By the time your unit is ready, your interest cost will be almost double the size of the loan, and that's before you receive anything.

I agree.

I would suggest investing your BTC in a few places for about a month or two while they finalize their agreement.

This ^^
And who knows how much 30 BTC will be worth by then... Maybe when they start selling you can buy one for 15 BTC only ;)

That is a very salient point and I would back it up with the following information.  I have financed several bits of equipment during May and June and after the very stable price through April, the "cost" of identical units went from 214BTC to 169BTC for the most recent one.

As speculation, receiving 100 coins today and agreeing to pay USD650 in six months time sounds like a bargain.

Thanks for the imput of all you.
I could buy some BTC but i have to buy from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87094.0;topicseen (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87094.0;topicseen) using the Western Union option, but the minimum is 300$ and i don't want to invest that much.
I will wait a little longer to see if i can gather the BTC i need to buy one Jalapeno.

Requesting topic lock.

Thanks
