OMG, Butterfly Labs refunded me and I made ROI!!

[QuiveringGibbage]

tl;dr Just got refunded in PP from BFL and made a $1kAUD off it.

No notice; I randomly logged into PayPal and saw $6kAUD in my account and went WTF? Details showed:

Code:

22 Jan 2015	Refund	 Completed	 ...	$5,032.00 USD 
 22 Jan 2015	Currency Conversion	 Completed	 Details	-$5,032.00 USD 
 22 Jan 2015	Currency Conversion	 Completed	 Details	$6,053.55 AUD 

when I originally purchased the 2 x BFL Singles 50GH/s in April, 2013 i only paid:

Code:

 6 Apr 2013	Currency Conversion	 Completed	 Details	-$5,025.22 AUD 
 6 Apr 2013	Currency Conversion	 Completed	 Details	$5,032.00 USD

so i made $1kAUD + they give me free cloud mining which made ~1btc. (altho i just remembered i paid 1.6btc to upgrade the order to a Monarch..)

Happy Days...

Are they a good ASIC Company now?

[alh]

The fact that one person got refunded, and made a small amount of money as a result of currency exchange and their holding his money for about 18 months hardly seems like BFL redemption to me. Also they do not have a competitive product in terms of price, efficiency, or hashrate.

[alani123]

Are they giving refunds to people now or you're just a single lucky guy?

Ohh, Ok
Thanks again Zich :'3

[lolled]

Are they refunding everyone ?

[caga]

Congratulations! Nice to know they are finally paying out . 5K$ is a big amount , and good that you got it back.

[QuiveringGibbage]

haha cheers everyone

in no way is this post an endorsement for BFL. I'm sure they are doing refunds purely to please the courts. I am glad i can finally close this debacle and walk away on the + side. 

Cheers,

You made a profit because since April of 2013, the AUD/USD took a hugedown fall due to the strong USD

[develCuy]

BFL never delivered, so you got refunded. I were about to "buy" one of their small miners, then heard about their delays so preferred to go cloud mining. Now could mining has issues, it would have been better to just get refunded that loosing money like I did. In short: you are lucky bast*rd!

[Bananana]

2 years is really long for a refund, I did pretty much forget about it already. Lucky you

[crazyearner]

To be fair any refund from BFL is a milestone and getting it refunded on top of making some profit. The OP can now use them funds to 1 buy other equipment if looking to mine still 2 keep the coin and  just trade and make a better income than mining equipment can produce unless energy cost is fair and good amount of equipment. Nice to see you got a refund QuiveringGibbage

[Wendigo]

Well congratulations on your refund and it's better late than never

[btcshiner]

I saw the thread title and thought I was in Bizarro world.  Congrats!  Glad to here a positive story for once.

Well getting 5K USD back after 2 years, definitely feels good.
Congrats on your refund.

[tvasbn]

mine took 9 months, i receive the refuns just before they were temporarily closed

Good news. I believe most bitcoin scammers mean well but fall victim to their dumb human tendencies. We must be upright humans!
