If they did that, they would have to compensate everyone. It's far to late to do that, they are quite likely barley treading water now. And if anything the first month(possibly something for the second month people(sliding scale would even be appropriate after first month)) buyers deserve it more than anyone. While BFL is shady, anyone that bought a unit at current prices, dug their own grave.
Well, BFL is going to feel pressure from many directions:
Competitors - Watch what others do regarding offering insurance, more Ghash/s, etc.
Customers - I don't imagine many repeat customers.
Legal - The lawsuits are for sure on the way and with all Josh's talking, there is a lot of evidence out there.
Listening to the interview on LTB with KNC Miner is telling. The part owner said something along the lines of "We wouldn't ship a unit if there wasn't going to be a good return on it. " I didn't get his words
right but it was clear they aren't just "a hardware company" like Josh at BFL hid behind. Also, it looks like there 400Ghash/s units are going to ship with quite a bit more power. After all this with BFL, nothing,
nada, regarding making things right with the customer. Well, that is if you don't count a credit towards a 600Ghash/s Monarch for
January, I mean February, or is it March delivery now? BFL had a huge
delay with the Jalapenos recently as they outsourced production (they said). We don't know the numbers of orders, but it is sure a coincidence that Jalapeno's are at a crawl for weeks now.
I'm not sure Josh is shady, think he had good intentions initially, but to accept soooooooo many orders, to the point that they are a year behind, is just criminal, literally. That is plain bad business.
