Strateman now working for BFL?

Am I missing something? link/evidence please.

Remember back when Intersangro sent everyone an email containing everyone else in the To: field?

OK I get what you mean now.  Smiley
Missed the ?mark originally and thought you meant Strateman was actually working for BFL and was thinking WTF?

I'm checking into this. I think there was an import of old orders into our new ordering system last night and for some reason it was set to email people.  I think it only affected a few people.  I'm not saying this is the case for 100%, and I'm still investigating, but it's possible. We have been working on our new shopping cart/ordering system/backend for awhile now and it's almost ready, so it's entirely possible something leaked out in the form of an email when we imported the old data.

I odered from BFL and Avalon with the same email address.
I haven't received weird emails from one of them.
Simply check the email headers and look where the email real coming from.

Well, if all these people getting BFL emails did not sign up for Avalon's mailing list, then it couldn't be Avalon's fault and instead was more likely an error by BFL as it had been suggested earlier in this thread.

I just received an email claiming that the I ordered a bfl single. I have a feeling that Avalon's email list has been compromised...
I think so too. Bitsyncom was saying the shopping site for Avalon was being DDOS'ed a couple of days before the launch of Batch #2 sales. Now with the whole WalletBit fiasco, I think some competitor is trying to ruin Avalon.

I think this is the other way around - vendor A wants to prevent vendor B from shipping product, by creating a huge workload for their sales department and customer support.

Just my 2 cents...

I hope you're right.

I received an email from BFL at about 7PM PST this evening and the link was http://localhost/butterflylabs.com/customer/account/

I'm assuming BFL had a misfire on the customer portal they've been working on.

the email is unique to BFL correspondence, so its doubtful that avalon is responsible.
Agreed. Similar experience here.

Nothing to see here, folks; move along.

Well, you didn't happen to buy anything from BFL before have you?

Did, too. A total of 25 singles and a Minirig. 30 grand, man. Made it back, too...

Surely, shipping addressed on orders for Batch #2 won't be change, can they?

You use the same password on both sites?

I use two passwords - one for mailing lists, online shopping and such, and the other for banking.

So, yes, I did use the same password for BFL and for Avalon.
