BFL ignoring my request to change FPGA MiniRig Funding into ASIC (SOLVED)

[ice_chill]

I have a MiniRig order awaiting to be shipped any moment now, I do not want it to ship as I am then automatically tied to the extortion of 15k for the ASIC Minirig upgrade, otherwise I will never see a return on my money.

I have contacted BFL Labs through their website on 28th June, then 4 July, and then sent a direct email to office@butterflylabs.com on 9th July entitled "Mini-Rig order conversion into 12 SC Singles".

I have not received any response.

You should take delivery. Currently, used BFL singles are selling for a premium. I wonder what the premium would be for a Mini-Rig available for immediate delivery.  You could be making a tidy profit. Think about it. I wouldn't be surprised if you get offers for your Mini-Rig just from this post.

No kidding.  How many days since your order, ice?

Dear Ice_Chill,

All Mini-Rig owners are immediately contacted prior to shipment (without exception). You do not need to worry if your email is burried in our inbox.
You will be given the opportunity to change your order as you wish, before shipping.


Regards,
BF Labs Inc.

Everytime I see these kind of posts it makes me wonder why it needs to go like this.
Now I understand though. On the forums, BFL actually responds within an hour.

Well I got a reply from them and all sorted now.

P.S. to people who offered to buy my MiniRig queue, I cannot do this as it means I then place a fresh order with your money, and go right to the end of the queue.
Most money will be made by the very first recipients of the ASIC hardware, so the queue is priceless here

Glad to hear it - maybe you should update the thread title to indicate this issue is solved?
