I hope a load of suckers cancel their Jalapeno orders.  Brings the huge queue in front of my order a lot shorter. Smiley

I guess BFL was told to stop using PayPal to snare new investors!

Or maybe PayPal does not like to be called "fucking PayPal".



I'm sure BFL has quite a large negative balance with them. Any new orders would not be new money, just paying back refunds.

I could be wrong tho.

Here's another sign, from the bfl forum: "They are only allowing payment with BTC or Wire x-fer. That is a non starter for me."

transfer fee?!?! are you fucking kidding me.

Pathetic and transparent cash-grab.

Absolutely sickening.

Caveat emptor to be sure.

After $8 million went to Avalon in 800K of chip sales and only 4000 heavily discounted chips ($200K) were bought from BFL, they had to do something.
After KNCMiner sold out and pre-orders for BFL equipment dried up, they had to do something.

End of 2013 means the long con can continue into the summer of next year!

Summer dance!;

No credit card option for payment... only BTC and wire x-fer. That's a non starter for me.

If I were into gambling, I'd wager they'll try to keep their customers wait even longer by giving them "the opportunity" to exchange their 1st gen asic pre-orders for that 2nd gen. Delivered in, say, 2 weeks?  Grin
I read on their forums that a customer didnt even get a response to an email inquiry after two weeks!  Cheesy Cheesy

Transferring your order to a new 28nm Mining Card will cancel your old order completely. We recommend you keep your existing order and place a new order for the 28nm technology product.
The new technology will not ship until the end of 2013.
Your existing order will arrive much sooner and you can mine with it while you wait for the new technology to be released.
