if you invest in an "upcoming" (had not as of yet been released) technology you should only invest what you're comfortable losing. Research and diversification could have helped you avoid this situation as it was well known that they missed deadlines on their fpga's as well. As far as ROI you speculated on things that cannot be guaranteed there are just too many variables to accurately calculate anything. No believe me I'm just as ticked about them not shipping on time and I do believe that their business practices should be avoided but as with any other business, if you don't like them buy somewhere else. I'm sorry you wrapped up so much money with them but it was stated that the devices had not been test nor proven when I ordered mine and its been as long or longer than most of the people complaining.
Just make sure in the future to do your due diligence and make sure that you don't put yourself into this situation again in the future. You're complaints and demands just take up time that they could be using to address the real issues, such as legitimate support requests, which get lost in the flood of emails.
We were not "investors" and have NONE of the protection usually given to a legal investor in a company. If BFL goes bankrupt we do NOT get a share of what is left over after all their equipment and IP is auctioned off.
BFL offered "pre-orders" which means a product was being produced and shipping was imminent. For example. those who ordered last SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER were told shipping would be at the end of October! In mid October that was changed to early November. Shipping was always just 4-6 weeks away. How was a customer supposed to know at the time that these were all blatant lies?
And this is why BFL make millions. Do you think you will even break even by the time you get your miner? LOL Enjoy. for the rest of us, it's called a refund.

Oh for FUCKS sake. Just let it go already. Product is shipping. The Jaly's have already moved into 2013 (finally!) and the others aren't terribly far behind, (exception: Minirigs)
You jackass's that are still dead set on taking down BFL are just going to piss off the rest of us who are finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
No, I'm not a shill. I've got hardware on order, and I'm just as annoyed as the rest of you at the delays.
DON'T FUCK IT UP FOR THE REST OF US!
