Investors with 3rd degree Stockholm syndrome and a community with a long history of defending it's scammers are in BFL's favor. Toss in the occasional sock-puppet poster and a PR shock jock figurehead that verbally assaults any outspoken outliers. Voila, successful vaporware business. Box of fans table for none ready in just 4-6 weeks.

Buy BTC. Exchange for LTC @ btc-e or vircurex.

Just like I always said...never trust a talking frozen beverage.

Guys I'm scaaart.

Nothing but respect for what the ASICMiner guys have accomplished, but I agree the share price has gotten a little soggy around the mid section.

Bitcoinstore user review:

After extensive research I was recently pricing a specific model AIO laser printer and thought to check the prices here compared to the usual online fiat vendors(newegg, amazon, microcenter, etc...) and as it turned out bitcoinstore was a bit cheaper than the cheapest fiat vendor(newegg) so I decided to go ahead with the order.

I immediately had trouble paying for the item in my cart because I did not yet have an account and whenever I tried to enter all the data to create one, I was getting sent back to the cart page and all my progress was wiped out. I did this twice and then sent an email to support, went back and created an account first, logged in and then made my purchase. By the time I had created an account, bitcoinstore support had already contacted me with inquiries about the nature of my complaint. They were very pleasant and responsive to deal with and said they'd look into the specific problem, which may or may not be specific to chrome.

So minor hassle resolved, this 40lbs package with free shipping was ordered at 7:30PM EST March 12(Tuesday). The vendor acknowledged receipt of my order at 7:33PM via email. On Wed(3/13) I received a fedex tracking number. I was surprised such a heavy package was already processed and shipped within 24hrs, very impressive. Just about 20mins ago Fedex delivered the package exactly as ordered. Some 40hrs after I placed my order I HAVE IT, and this with a 40lbs bulky box and free shipping!

This is better than newegg order processing efficiency and if these guys can scale their business and maintain this level of service I will be a regular customer.

Very well done BitcoinStore, very well done indeed.

I'd probably complain once or twice and then let that one go as it's not enough to lose sleep over.

The exchange rate I got was $47.78 btw.

Was that record volume on BTCT.CO the past 24hrs? You need a ticker to keep track.

LOL

The irony of Josh posting stories about rats.

He was refunding at an exchange rate of $47.78 today. Not great, but better than the nothing I feared we'd end up with.

Nope, there are still some remaining to be refunded, I was just a squeaky wheel.

Thanks! Yeah bonus funds for the company's next purchase.

BTC refund of order #1345 finally received. I will add the funds to the company's balance sheet in the morning.

Refund received. Thanks Tom.

Thank you Theymos.

How'z that refund for order #1345 coming along Tom? I have a lot of investors that would like to close the book on this whole sad affair.

Well that was friggin rude!

PL deserves to be on that list every bit as much as I do!

To put it mildly.


If you're so desperate to get anything up and running, then why not a GPU rig that can be converted to mining altcoins if/when you choose to purchase an ASIC mining gizmo down the road?

220...221 whatever it takes...

BFL is already five months late and there's still no guarantee that they'll ship anything soon or that they'll meet their stated(estimated) specs if and when they do eventually ship. When they do begin shipping their backlog will ensure that an order placed now will not be delivered for many months. Meanwhile Avalon has made it abundantly clear that they're capable of designing and delivering a working product on schedule despite beginning long after BFL had already announced their products.

BFL is also in clear violation of FTC prompt delivery regulations, so the risk that they will be shut down at some point must be weighed with any decision.

What email did you use? He hasn't responded to me, either via email, PM, or unannounced BTC refund.
