Title: OMG, Butterfly Labs refunded me and I made ROI!!
Post by: QuiveringGibbage on January 24, 2015, 04:29:18 AM
tl;dr Just got refunded in PP from BFL and made a $1kAUD off it.

No notice; I randomly logged into PayPal and saw $6kAUD in my account and went WTF? Details showed:
Code:
22 Jan 2015	Refund	 Completed	 ...	$5,032.00 USD 
 22 Jan 2015 Currency Conversion Completed Details -$5,032.00 USD
 22 Jan 2015 Currency Conversion Completed Details $6,053.55 AUD

when I originally purchased the 2 x BFL Singles 50GH/s in April, 2013 i only paid:
Code:
 6 Apr 2013	Currency Conversion	 Completed	 Details	-$5,025.22 AUD 
 6 Apr 2013 Currency Conversion Completed Details $5,032.00 USD

so i made $1kAUD + they give me free cloud mining which made ~1btc. (altho i just remembered i paid 1.6btc to upgrade the order to a Monarch..)

Happy Days...

The fact that one person got refunded, and made a small amount of money as a result of currency exchange and their holding his money for about 18 months hardly seems like BFL redemption to me. Also they do not have a competitive product in terms of price, efficiency, or hashrate.

Congratulations! Nice to know they are finally paying out . 5K$ is a big amount , and good that you got it back.

Post by: QuiveringGibbage on January 25, 2015, 01:30:22 AM
haha cheers everyone :)

in no way is this post an endorsement for BFL. I'm sure they are doing refunds purely to please the courts. I am glad i can finally close this debacle and walk away on the + side. 

Cheers,

You made a profit because since April of 2013, the AUD/USD took a hugedown fall due to the strong USD

Post by: develCuy on January 25, 2015, 06:51:06 AM
BFL never delivered, so you got refunded. I were about to "buy" one of their small miners, then heard about their delays so preferred to go cloud mining. Now could mining has issues, it would have been better to just get refunded that loosing money like I did. In short: you are lucky bast*rd!

2 years is really long for a refund, I did pretty much forget about it already. Lucky you :)

To be fair any refund from BFL is a milestone and getting it refunded on top of making some profit. The OP can now use them funds to 1 buy other equipment if looking to mine still 2 keep the coin and  just trade and make a better income than mining equipment can produce unless energy cost is fair and good amount of equipment. Nice to see you got a refund QuiveringGibbage

Heh, gotta love that!  ;D

My best ROI story was canceling a KNC Neptune order. Paid ~11.5BTC for it, and was refunded ~27.5BTC.

Yes, that's definitely huge ROI on btc.

you are lucky, there are many users who wanted refunds for their purchase but got nothing
or it might be because of paypal forced them to refund

Congratulations. I've seen a thread where somebody showed their wallets and came to conclusion they've been dumping BTC on exchanges since December (court ruling). They are probably planning to refund more people in time.

Congratulations but I believe you will be only one of the few who actually get a refund and even fewer who made an ROI.

My US$65,716 refund hit the bank 2014/05/07.  2 separate 1.5TH/s minirigs ordered in March/April 2013 upgraded to 2 x 7 Monarchs.  I didn't think too long after being offered the refund to take it.

I ordered a monach for $2250 & asked for a refund to be denied..

Then put in a queue only to be jumbled all over the shop..

I ended up bartering with them as they said they were refunding people with under $1000 first.

I ended up taking a 544gh one year contract for $1495 & they refunded me 3.0 btc for the remaining money...

As i said i had to barter to get the refund at the same time... They initially said no to this idea & i said no refund no mining contract...

They caved in a week later when i badgered them about trying to do the right thing..

In Australian dollars 3.0 btc was $930.00 dollars & on the contract i expect to get 1.0btc if im lucky...

So i got $1200 austrailan in total, I just wanted to cut my losses...

well is good to see some users get the refunded money ,i just hope as they pay all users as the same way others follow this system to bring bitcoin back to his pole on 500 to 1000 dolllars position

How did you go about getting the refund? Congrats though. Very surprising. :o

Getting a refund can be done in a few ways as it seems..

The number one is paypal if u paid that way...

Next will depend on how much ur owed, How u paid them & how u want a refund...

They say they are going to pay cash refunds but im yet to hear of one??

If ur less than $1000 u should have been refunded already if not email them & ask whats going on??

If its over $1000.00 as them what position in the queue u are to see how long roughly that will take..

One option is like i did, Opt for a mining contract & hope to get as much as u can back & take the rest in a btc refund

Or take butterfly labs hardware & sell it to someone else who knows someone might pay u good money for it if not u could mine with it & take the remainder refund in BTC..

Lots of people have lots of stories about how to get it done these are a few, a few people are too embarrassed to talk about the BFL experience... I took a 40% loss to get out, Let us all know how u go!
