Buying BFL debt. $0.10 per dollar owed.

[Frankie Delaney]

It's obvious with recent propaganda videos and lack of communication that the entire scheme is ready to collapse, i have enough information on the major players to initiate my lawsuit once everything goes south, but don't have enough owed to me to make it worth the initial investment for legal counsel. With that in mind, i am prepared to purchase unfulfilled BFL orders for 10 cents on the dollar, based on the current btc/usd exchange rate. I don't care what the exchange rate was when the order was placed, i am purchasing in BTC orders based on the exchange rate now and the USD price of the order.

If you are interested, PM me with your order detaiils and BTC address. There is very little chance of BFL being honest enough to refund everybody's orders, you can take your chance now and try to get at the front of the line for refunds for a small chance at a refund, or sell now for a guaranteed 10% return. Keep in mind my offer will decline as the details of BFL's defualt unfolds. The 10 cent on the dollar offer is only valid until the default is officially confirmed, or at least blatantly obvious through company silence. It's worth getting out at 10 cents on the dollar now before you have 8 offers for 2 cents on the dollar. Offers above 10 cents/dollar will be considered, but this is a gamble i am taking myself, and will have to consider each order puchase on a case by case basis.

PMs from obvious scammers/jr members will be ignored. Thank you.

Have they stopped fulfilling refunds or something?

I wanted to ask the same. I mean if refunds are given thats 100% back. I wonder anyway if anyone would be willing to sell now with lost. I mean for 10%? For that it would be better to gamble on the outcome that BFL is sending out. And when i see the last news it looks like its going forward slowly: https://twitter.com/BFL_News

This reminds me of the "Do me a favor for 0.01 BTC (by getting me 50,000 free XRP)" scam threads.

From what I have heard, they are starting to go through collecting expedited shipping requests, so in theory shipping may commence "within the next two weeks" for real.

My guess is folks are going to want to hang onto their orders (at least their Jalapeño orders).  If they are planning on fulfilling their miner obligations in unit of 5Gh at a time... all I can say is,  I hope people have stocked up on USB hubs  

Personally I stand to gain the most if BFL fails to deliver as the longer their hashers are off the network, the more effective my mining (minimal as it is right now)... but I think it is best for the bitcoin ecosystem if they are at least partially successfully.

Seems like you will be able to get more traction with this once they actually fail to offer refunds.  Best of luck to you.

BFL is going to end up shipping the product. It will use more power than they said, take longer to get, but will have the stated performance. Exactly like the last time.

So if anyone has BFL SC Single's they want to sell for $0.20 per dollar owed, please let me know instead

Is this an actual auction

$0.75 (but expect me to put in a refund request for anyone who messages)

BFL has not, to my knowledge, stopped issuing refunds to orders placed before "no refunds" was added to their terms. As evidenced by their recent actions, it is only a matter of time. I don't expect people to take my offer before attempting a refund though BFL themselves, it is just a standing offer for when that fails.

This reminds me of the "Do me a favor for 0.01 BTC (by getting me 50,000 free XRP)" scam threads.

Maybe i should phrase my offer as a bet with terms i could back out of when i lose? how much did you pay to get rid of the scammer title?

This is not an auction, this is a standing offer.

how much did you pay to get rid of the scammer title?

The first or the second time?

Josh: Sonny, sorry calling you so late, but I have an idea.
Sonny: I'm all ears, bud.
Josh: I got the idea from some thread on BT, and I simply modified it. Since people are refunding in droves, we can fire up one of our sockpuppets to payout sixty cents on the dollar, thus you get to keep forty percent, minus my cut of course.
Sonny: Of course! I like it! Do it! By the way, how's the interesting solution to the MiniRig problem coming along?
Josh: Can't talk over the phone because it may be tapped.
Sonny: HeHe!
Josh: HeHe!
Al the Alpaca: (tapping the line) Them boy's ain't right!

..the sound of maple trees sapping..

Unironically, this is how all debts seem to be handled in Bitcoinland. Sockpuppets buying back at discounts.

Ditto!

So I can go get a refund for 100% of my order value in USD from BFL or I can get 1/10 from you? People were paying more for pirate money 1 month after he closed down -.-

Try again once BFL stops giving refunds and stopped communicating for weeks and you might have better luck! If BFL turns out to be a scam the whole plan is so elaborate that even Dr. Evil would be impressed. Like really, they make a an actual ASIC and claim it turned out bad so they can string everyone along to collect more preorders? Brilliant scam! Since you know there is very little doubt that they actually have a working ASIC, it's performance just isn't where it was expected to be.

BFL will start shipping sometime in the future  , if they were in the gaming industry they could have borrowed "soon" from a blizzard entertainment timeline.

Stop it with your logic and reason already, just give the man your money.

"Have the stated performance" yet use much more power than stated in the original specification?

How am I not surprised to see a stupid statement that contradicts itself posted here?

Had too much BFL kool-aid recently?

Lol so fail

Bruno and smoothie, don't you find it odd that, even as an obvious sock puppet, OP has spent his entire time on the forums bashing BFL, now only to want to buy in? Might that be interpreted by some as an attempt to spread FUD for personal gain? I mean, I wouldn't imagine OP would do such a thing, it's probably just a misunderstanding. Surely he cares about people's well being and would never take opportunities on their misfortunes.

I don't find joy in other people's misfortunes.

You should try it sometime, it's delicious.

You are correct, I should have said hashrate. Performance would indeed be a combination of the two.

And no, no kool-aid. I've just already been through this before with the FPGA. It was late, I was pissed, I tried to cancel. Then I changed my mind, waited, and the FPGA showed up and has paid for itself many times over.

I just went into this knowing exactly how they work, good or bad.
