BTW, I agree with the others - the payment option was a disastrous choice too.

Sorry, but what can be easier than accepting bitcoins ?

Well, one had to open an account at some unknown/tiny exchange (if necessary fund it via VouchX and exchange to BTC) and then buy some bonds. To me this is a different thing then just "accepting bitcoins".

Well, you have to open an account or register in ANY case. How else can we know who is making pre-order and find out one's contact details ?
"accepting bitcoins" means at least creating a new bitcoin address and identifying the buyer, practically the same as it was done.

It's just easier to use our existing trading platform than creating some new site.

Seriously, I was interested in this project when I would have seen any progress/updates on this. But the lack of activity in this thread and the failure to answer PMs for months made me believe that this project is either a non-starter or a scam.

Reclaimer project was cancelled due to a dilettante information policy. [...]

And I can't imagine what can be easier than paying in BTC. It's even much simpler than some of our competitors

The average person found icbit.se too complex for their understanding, they just want a bitpay form to deal with I think

Exactly. I have no problems paying in BTC. In fact, I actually prefer it. However, signing up to an exchange and having to buy bonds (how many? 1 per order? Enough bonds to get to $2800?) makes no sense to purchase a physical product. It might work for ASICMiner, but there's a reason why BFL and Avalon use a 3rd party payment processing company.

So anyways, back to my question. Is there a chance this could come back? I've said it before, the rackmount option is very attractive to some of us.

What they said Cheesy

I'd be interested in a couple of rigs Wink

Not gonna do a "preorder" ever again though...............but,maybe a BTC escrow type thing,hmmmmm

I was gonna drop for another BFL unit,still might,but would like to see some competition.

IMO, you ran into 2 issues: Your prices weren't competitive, and your payment methods were confusing and convoluted as hell. The first one doesn't seem so bad now, so if you get a simpler payment method, and reopened this project, you'd prolly get some sales with no problems.

Actually I think that this was also caused by lack of any ads.

Hello.

Reclaimer project was cancelled due to complete lack of public interest. All bond buyers were refunded at icbit.se
Total number of bond buyers was 7 (seven). Of course some of them bought more than one bond, but this is obviously FAR from making any sense in mass-production.

80 GH/s for $2800 is still pretty damn good. Shame the project fell through the cracks.

I wonder how much it would've taken to complete the project.

Josh, said that there was going to be testing units taken out of the wafers that he received in this batch. He said, "It will take 1000 of the 5000 that he has now. I still mine on GPU's. I get free electric. Made a little money so far. The CGminer developer had an all expense paid trip to BFL to give support to CGminer. There has been pictures taken of their lab. I have also seen them unloading the same pieces of contraption out of what looks like a semi trailer. They have a lab. They have machines that looked like they were going to be making something. I myself think that Josh is just young to business and he is having a hard time getting what he wants out of the companies that he is dealing with. Look for more posts from kolivas. He knows what is going on more than anyone. He may have worked with a proto-type or something.

and this thread has nothing whatever to do with BFL

..
I cached my shares in for a small loss a while back .....

Josh is not "young to business". He's a retarded mouth piece with a superiority complex who has been led around like a puppy dog by his superiors. It's only by dumb luck and the sheer greed of the people on this (and other) forums that his antics didn't drive BFL into the ground.
