first off all! to everybody! DO NOT accept the procedure according the HF email!
Exactly.
Confirmation that you understand USD order totals that were originally paid with BTC can be refunded in BTC at the USD to BTC market exchange rate on the date of refund.
it is a agreement and if you sign it HF is on the save side!
Exactly.
Let me rephrase this letter:
Hey you suckers, those of you who are willing to forfeit 85% of their investment without a fight, would you please step forward? By signing this, you are waiving your rights for a full refund. We appreciate your business.
This is what this mail sounds like to my ears.
the only goal of HF is to get as many customers as they can to sign this.
request a full refund in BTC with market exchange rate on the date of order if you paid in BTC! do this immeditaly after 31 Dec if they fail to deliver. accept NO OTHER agreement and let them know this fact!
I don't fully agree with this second point.
In fact, I think HF has (at least) two goals here:
1. Chips away some of our crucial rights, by entering in to new a understanding with them.
2. Collect info about the "whiners"; those problematic clients who are so arrogant that they actually want to fight for their rights.
This second point is important too, because if they know who are the ones who actually know that they are entitled full BTC refunds, they know where to focus their energies!
For example, they might want to try to shit their very limited supply of actually working BJs to them, to avoid having to give them BTC refunds.
This is why I say that we should withhold this information from them!
Information is power, and we are in a war with them. (They started it, but we need to finish it.) So I think we should not respond do this mail at all.
There is no reason to. We can demand our refund later, as spelled out in the TOS.
Saying "OK" will take our rights away.
Saying "F.U." will place us in their attention.
I think in this case, silence is golden.
