Just got an email to confirm my order.
People with orders need to confirm within 10 days or their order will be canceled (BFL says they will contact people before canceling orders.)

I got the same email. Wooooot!!!! long time coming! Only reason I'm here now is because BFL's site is down from everyone trying to log in and verify (I'm assuming).

People with orders need to confirm within 48 hours or their order will be canceled (BFL says they will contact people before canceling orders.)
I have a hard time believing that's legal. |

I think they will cancel the unpaid orders, i have 3 orders open and 2 of them unpaid because the 15 minutes time limit to pay with BTC was gone.

I got the email too but their site is offline.
WHY in the world, after waiting since Oct (for me) and June (for others) would we have to confirm the order, if they have our money. The email specifically states if you do not confirm they will refund your money.
I'm sure they are just being flooded with people trying to confirm, or they are being DDoS by someone not wanting anyone to be able to confirm.

Nope, they said any unconfirmed orders would be refunded. Here's a copy of the email I got:  |

They say nothing about 48 hours or that they will contact users in advance of cancelling.
I sure hope no one is on vacation or misses the email.
I think a better approach would have to allow cancellations and to put a deadline on that.

This confirmation business sounds a bit like a cheap trick to be able to fulfill "every order" even though supply and capacity is still very limited. The hardware change is a nifty excuse, for sure.

Looks like this announcement has successfully crashed the BFL site. I can't log in.

Anyone get the sneaking suspicion that this will turn ugly?

Would you care to elaborate? It looks they are just covering their asses, they use subtle wording to URGE you to confirm ("to get your place in the building and shipping queue") and at the end of the day you confirm you are OK to whatever they ship whenever they ship it (no confirmed specs, you just accept whatever they are, same thing for shipping date) |

they may or may not be "shipping", it is likely they will be shipping "sometime soon". I would expect that their credit card processor is making them do this as when orders do not ship on time there are regulations about how you have to notify customers and get their approval to keep their order open.
