To my amazement, I wasn't the one to contact BFL but instead, someone contacted me. Unfortunately.. the call was for solicitation.
Some guy at BFL by the name of "Rob" called me earlier today and asked if I was still mining with my Singles, I said:
Me: No
Rob: Oh, why not?
Me: Because it's a waste of time
Rob: When did you stop?
Me: When diff. hit 510m
Rob: Well, you know the difficulty is getting higher because Bitcoin is starting to grasp a larger audience
Me: True, but also because you guys delivered 1 year late and now I'm not making my investment back
Rob: Well, if you're interested I have a 20% off coupon exclusively for you for your next future purchase
Me: Does this coupon expire?
Rob: Yes, in 2 weeks™ (
I AM NOT JOKING ABOUT HIS ANSWER)
Me: No, not interested.. I don't plan on purchasing anything from BFL.
Rob: Oh, okay.. have a good day.

I'm not sure why BFL is having their employees check up on their customers and trying to solicitate some type of incentive to
scam get people on purchasing ASIC hardware. I can only assume (and hope) that BFL isn't hitting their pre-order goals for the Monarchs as they would've liked.. which means, the majority of miners out there are finally heeding to the FUD that's circling around BFL... but most importantly... maybe it's a sign that BFL is going to file for chapter 11?
