I received the following email from BFL:
Thanks for being a Butterfly Labs customer. Your patience and loyalty are greatly appreciated.
While we wait for the 1TH revision of the PCB to make it through manufacturing, we have a supply of boards that do not meet the desired specs and thus are not suitable to be shipped directly to customers. However, with this limited quantity of boards, we can deliver processing power remotely to some customers.
Although we are under no legal obligation to do so, as a courtesy to customers who have been waiting the longest, we will provision these boards in a hosted environment (BFL Cloud Mining facilities), equal to the original processing power you ordered. Cloud Mining will be deployed in queue order and since you are receiving this email, you are eligible at no cost to you (we pick up the tab for hosting and electricity). Once the new 1TH boards arrive and assembly and delivery has begun, we will ship your full original order plus previously announced upgrade, and free Cloud Mining will be terminated.
I activated the offer and we are currently mining 3TH/s on Eclipse which is the default pool for their cloud mining service. No word if this 3TH/s will be increased to our full 9TH/s as they are able to bring more equipment online or not.
Their Cloud Mining website states:
Pool not listed?
If the pool you wish to mine to is not listed here, please send your suggestion through the Contact Us link and we will evaluate adding it to the list.
I have emailed
[email protected] the link to this thread as well as letting them know that we have been longtime supporters and requested that they add NastyPool to the list of possible Cloud Mining options. I imagine if they were willing, this would be a pretty big boost to NastyPool. If anyone else is benefiting from their Cloud Mining offer, make sure to let them know that you'd rather be mining on NastyPool.
