So much for 24 hours, it's been almost 72 and still no word from BFL on were they want my money wired to.
You think they would want my 30 grand.

I am in the same situation. I have 7k tied up with them in orders and I did not plan on putting 14k in with them at that time. They don't plan on delivering my units until late July. So I too would like some better option right now then just hey you are screwed because you couldn't pay in BTC and now you not only are waiting on your FPGAs now you get to hit the back of the line for ASIC.
I fully think they should have completed their orders and actually stopped taking new orders on FPGA until they were caught up to the point they could just move into ASIC manufacturing/pre-order. The reality of the situation is I could have taken the 6k I paid them and bought BTC at ~5 and would have made interest on the BTC between then and now and had been able to pre-order ASIC. But instead I figured the safer order would be directly with them.
BFL you have my money, you have had it for over a month. Why am I disqualified for a pre-order based on the value of my trade in that you haven't delivered yet?

They have allocated 1/3 of the quota to upgrades like us, so we will fall under that category.
Its not an upgrade if you just dont put double money.
You're just simply a switch from current order to new order and considered payment is made.
I agree that it is a totally shitty way to treat those of us that have been waiting for product for months already. They used our money to finance their expansion and ASIC endeavors. The least they could do is bump me into the 1/3 if I decide to cancel everything and put the $18K towards Single SC's.
The point of their trade-in is new money coming along with customer's early investment. You don't provide them any new money, why are you considered as trade-in?
We already provided them with money, and if they think that's not good enough they can give it back. That is their guarantee, some of my orders are 12 weeks old. They should have just caught up on deliveries before announcing something that would render them worthless.
I agree. The upgrade is something I could more easily swallow if they were taking pre-orders closer to October and I've actually had the chance to mine with my fpga's for a while. I just can't blindly give out more money than what I've already done. If I felt comfortable with upgrading to a mini-rig SC I would've put in two orders for mini-rig fpga's. I only bought one for that reason and now they want double the money to retain the value on my first $15K. And I have yet to receive any product.
If I can't take delivery and must start my order over for 14 Single SC's to get the full value of $18K (also had 4 single fpga's on order), the least they could do is keep me in the 1/3 so I am not waiting until the end of time for product.
EDIT: btw do you guys know how to contact this "Sonny" that I see others talk about? The user BFL that posts here offered to call me in pm last night but I stepped out at the wrong time.

Has anyone here that did a bank wire pre-order on the new ASIC based products receive an email yet with wire instructions?
I've been waiting for almost 60 hours on this.

Lol
Maybe they found out that bank wire can be charged back ?
Dunno, but seems likely.
They are "supporting Bitcoin" so no worries there when they deliver.

I think there's a reasonable feeling of discomfort with not being able to speak with someone when significant monies are involved. On our side, we've just launched pre order on a very important product and we have well over 1,000 emails in over the weekend. There are orders, questions, comments etc. We're moving as fast as we can.
That is ridiculous. "We can't fill your order because we chose to take more on some new product 4 months down the road." If you were responsible at all.. this situation would not happen... it's like saying it's not your fault you crashed into another car because you were drunk...

To people who have orders in for the prior-gens? Hmmmm.... I suppose that could work out alright.Unless virgin orders equate to significantly fewer units than than that carried by persons with prior-gen stuff.

They have to USE your money, to buy\manufacture the asic gear.
You are not getting a refund brother. Not for a while.

Yep, capital venture my ass.
I do not get what you are saying ...but it looks like you are attacking me... like everyone else in the forum. Anyhow, they used Capital Venture to acquire the asic stamp, in order to CREATE their product. Do you even know what that is? Do you even know how much that costs?
If you think Venture Capital is supplying them with MORE money, then why on Earth all these 4 month early pre-orders? Why would they need to do that if they had sufficient financial backing already?
