Interesting to read all the hate
I preordered 4 Monarchs in first hour of sale time upgrading my 6 Singles from Sept 15th 2012.
With ASICS as with any investment, you shouuld only invest what you can afford to loose or you will stress out, that said,
everyone always got a full refund from them which is not too bad for investment going bad lolAlso, everyone I know who did 1st day preorders with BFL got their equipment and mined at least 600% return on their initial cost which is nothing to complain about dispite them loosing the race due to production mistakes.
If anything,this whole bfl adventure has taught me that you gotta be there day 1-5 or max first week of preorders or you can forget about ROI.
Your group buy is too late now so forget about it.
Look at how many ppl already upgraded their Minirigs and Singles orders. You are now going to be months behind in the queue while something like 10-20TH are ordered on 17 and about same 18th, also you gotta consider that most people are waiting for banks to open to make wire payment or scooping up btc now. I think the market move in BTC this weekend is due to ppl buying up BTC to pay for their orders as banks are closed on the weekend.
My point is if you didnt buy it form them already then forget it
That's absolute bullshit. Everybody knows that I was as big a defender against people trolling BFL as anybody, back when you could readily get a refund. The second they decided to unilaterally implement a "no refunds" policy, ex post facto, is when their remaining credibility went bad. They've still got 90%+ of their queue to ship, aren't putting a dent in it, and have decided that people aren't eligible for refunds. Fuck that shit. I'm not buying anything again from either Avalon or BFL that isn't on the shelf, and ready to ship same day. Period. You're a fool to pre-order more vaporware from BFL, based on their miserable past performance.
