How do i get in on that job damn it? (i just heard of BFL in march, and ordered my jala then, just stupid people annoy me).
Oh you had to order sooner than that to get paid. But if you do a magic dance in the rain with turtles at your feet and flowers in your hands.. who knows! |

OP is so wrong. (my post has nothing to do with BFL and/or delays/scam. This is strictly about refund)
Here's what OP wants.
Pays for preorder in BTC at (I believe) $2600.00 back whenever (think in chat he mentioned 193 BTC). When requested for refund BFL gave him 60 BTC since at current value 60btc=$2600. Well he wants his 193 BTC back.
So we ask him what if BTC was lower, then he states he wants his $2600 worth back in BTC.
You can't have it both ways. You paid $2600 and got refunded $2600. It's not BFL's fault btc value has changed so much in such a short period.
As to BFL, I have no opinion. I ordered a jala just for shits and giggles. Not a serious miner or anything. Just have 1 gpu at 50% running for the occasional btc for stuff. I paid for mine in $USD.
(non BTC example, you buy something from US in Europe over ebay or w/e. You pay X$ to be converted into Z euro. You get item 2 weeks later. Want refund. YOu ship back, month has passed. Person refunds the Euro they received, if exchange rate has changed you may get less or more USD. )
FTFY - OP purchased 2 Singles @ $2600, not $3600. What's interesting is that OP was refunded 60 BTC, which today is valued at almost $4500... hmm... Yeah my bad. Still. My point stands either way. Yep, sure does! And so does mine: he got 60BTC refund right? that's like $4,500 today.. so he should be well more than good. By the way, I get paid to say this. |

How is this week's payout coming along, usagi?  |
|
|
|
Y'all ready for Week #3?  |
|
|

We already paid out more than 1 quarter of a BILLION Bitcoins!
Um, I think 250,000,000 Satoshis is 2.5 Bitcoins.  Thanks for clarifying the reward conversion. This is a neat idea. Thanks Psy! |

Per BFL, there is a large bulk production lined up which should cover all the existing backlog of orders to present, and those chips should be ready in May.

Price is around 800$.
That's more than enough to purchase an ASIC device, at least through Butterfly Labs. At this point, purchasing a FPGA may not be the best idea. When you say "skyrocket" you mean like 100% / 200% increase in difficulty? Or more?
When Avalon and BFL start shipping their units (and when ASICMiner is fully online at 14TH/s or so), these sort of increases will happen. When all is said and done for the first round of shipping, difficulty could be upwards of 1000% of what it is now. Is there any reasonable alternative for mining now? I can't afford buying ASIC but i'd like to take part in bitcoin minig as i'm thinking in long term perspective. Like in 5-10 years how much will 1BTC be worth?
Thanks to the recent (and vast) increase in USD/BTC price, GPU mining is know profitable again (for the majority of people, including myself). On another note, Welcome to Bitcoin! ^^ What Korbman said. |

What trash:
"At the height of its popularity, Bitcoin was trumpeted as a viable alternative currency for the internet age, a monetary system engineered to prevent theft, gaming, and criminalization. Then came the malware, the black market, the legal ambiguities and The Man. Today, you can't even use it to buy Facebook stock."
Say huh?

Looking forward to this week's payout - is it on schedule for the 16th? (first week payout slipped from 9th to 11th)

well I ordered a BFL SC it added $114 tax on top of the 1299 but when I checked out it was not added is this a problem?
No, it's not a problem - it does that for everyone. Not everyone. I haven't paid a tax on my orders, only $34 shipping. I've paid through both PayPal and Bitcoins...so maybe that makes a difference? I think you misread Korbman - "it does that for everyone" meaning nobody pays for tax upon checkout. |
