I also out of curiosity mailed them about purchasing a bfl miner this is how the conversation went.
I'm interested in buy a asic miner but I have some questions 1st.
Is it possible to do a local pick up? Can I pay on delivery/pick up or do I need to wire/send founds 1st?
Hello!
Thank you for your interest in our company.
Yes, local pick up is possible - where do you live?
We are located in austria that's why direct pick up is too far for most people.
If you'd like to ship, shipping fees are on us.
It is also possible to direct some hasing power to a pool of your choice, so that you can be 100% sure we have the miners in hand.
Which miner are you interested in?
Hi again,
I would prefer local pick up as I can make sure everything is in order. I live in Slovenia close to Austrian border. I'm interested in BFL 25gh or 50gh miners.
Hello,
Well please understand that all our Miners together are woth thousands of Euros.
That's why we don't make our location public, it is much too dangerous!
So shipping would be easier and safer for both of us.
You can pay via bitcoin or paypal.
With paypal, you even have double guarantee: The buyer protection from paypal and the product guarantee from the developer (butterfly labs).
So you have 2x security + I can send you pictures + we can let the miner work for a pool of your choice for 20 minutes or so, you will get some BTC for free and will be sure that we actually have them in hand.
This way, you are 100% safe.
I would prefer to do a local pick up even if not at your exact location. I know you can provide pictures and a good 80G of hashing power to any pool/account but that still does not equal holding an actual miner in my hands even if its in a parking lot of a shopping mall. So even if you are really selling asic miners you have so far almost no credibility, meeting me in person and selling me an actual miner would boost your credibility and I could vouch for you on bitcointalk. Any way I will be paying with bitcoins so unless your willing to use an escrow agent like John K shipping is out of the question.
No conversation since and considering 1st few mails were less then half an hour apart I would say I'm not getting a reply.
It's just been photoshopped quite a bit.
Keep on truckin' BFL. Monarchs do sound mythical, but hell, so did a lot of other inventions. It'll be very interesting to see how the next year of BTC super computers plays out.
