Topic: BitForce SC - Pre order delay - page 2. (Read 9544 times)

lulz.  I'm not quite that bad yet, but I do feel your pain.

BFL has had me by my balls for the past 7 weeks. My left nut is about to fall off.

You don't like getting the shaft?

Yep, been waiting for my singles for 7 weeks. Wanted to change to ASIC, sent an email, no response. I am not going to be at the end of the line. Again.

EDIT: mean I AM going to be at end of line

Sounds like fun

Most seem to agree that people who already have money tied up in orders, should not be forced to the end of the line. We can't even get a hold of Butterfly to get our money back and place a order. I bought 4 just because they announced they were letting us trade them in at 100% value. Which turned out to be only part of the story. Basically who ever paid them first should receive their units first. The longer they hold our money the more it costs us.

You're seriously starting to hurt my feelings now.    Look, I had no control over the fact I wasn't born a woman, but have such a feminine energy and style.



Nah, it's ok.  I GIVE to the community.

'Which advice?' is the question. I don't know if there was even a coherent collective voice on much of it.

Seriously, I kinda expected something bizarre. Not to be lewd, but that literally made me laugh so hard that I farted from the tension on my abs.
Well, it's still a bit disturbing. However, it's not like the other, and I guess a deal is a deal.  I'll send you a bitcoin. What's your bitcoin address?

This customer service is unbelievable. 83 days just to get tossed in the back of the line?

What?  You don't think I'm pretty?  How rude.

I'll change it.

I disagree, I think saying "we're going to ship the first 200 units simultaneously" makes sense. (or whatever arbitrary amount to average the order time over a couple days.

Well, lets wait and see if they change the rules after taking peoples BTC peoples BTC. As crazy as the current understanding is, its just as bad or worse to change it after money has been paid.

The fact that they opened up ordering doesn't mean that they won't consider taking our advice.

Hope... I guess.... 

I'm curious just what in their past behavior lead you to think it would be any other way.

This is really bad customer relations... they just sporadically updated the website with an order form....

Gimme a break....

They asked for the forums opinion on how to proceed with the pre-ordering and delivery and now they just gone ahead and opened up pre-ordering without explaining the rules

unbelievable....

Get em while they're hot!

As many have said, I think the BTC-only payment option is unfair. While I definitely understand the reasoning behind it, it means that people (myself included) are going to be waiting around for funds to clear before being able to order any product. If I could order with PayPal using credit card I could order immediately and be done with it. But to open pre-orders in BTC only with only one day notice (and a weekend at that) means that only die-hard BTC fanatics from day one (or people who are so rich they can have 4-5 figures in BTC at all times) are going to be able to order these items. I think while BFL intentions are good this is going to completely go the opposite way and have the opposite of what they intended occur.

Right now, unless this changes, I'm considering not even bothering ordering anything. If I have to wait 3-5 days to move my funds so that I can buy the product so many pre-orders may have already been placed by the "bitcoin millionaires" that I may not even make any profit at all. I strongly believe that this needs to be reconsidered by BFL and them at least allow a credit card option via PayPal on the same day that the bit-pay option hits. I already have thousands of dollars tied up in Singles that are late and it's quite ridiculous for me to be punished as a loyal, paying customer who wants to buy even more. I have the money available and would be able to pay the credit card in full within a couple of weeks easily but I just don't have the money this instant.

I would bet that very few of us in the mining community have so much BTC available to buy these units, and the few that do have so much sitting around that they could buy out 6 months of production if they wished.  If there's even a perception that the mining network is going to be dominated by a few ASIC supermining operations, the average bitcoin miner is not going to want to take the risk to buy any ASICs when they may never break even. Please reconsider this situation for the sake of your current loyal customers who don't have money in their account at this very moment because they've already spent it all on the soon to be obsolete Singles (which is me and many others voicing their concerns in this thread).
