Just what in their current business practices makes you think they have any respect for their current customers as well they are required by various laws to put their shareholders interests first and if that means screwing their current customers so be it.

As they say the devil is in the details, which they have not released on that upgrade offer as with so much else of the business methods it is a mystery as to what it will entail all I know is based on past performance I would not be holding out hope of it being timely or in the customers best interest.

I never said it did.  What I did say is "Well, the fact that they are offering full value trade ins kind of tells me they have a good deal of respect for their current customers."

Then I might change my mind.  I don't believe that will be the case, but certainly, I could be wrong.

They had no choice on that for the announcement otherwise the pre-orders still sitting there for months on end would most likely have been canceled on the spot by everyone if no trade in was possible.


Hear hear that ship has long since sailed and everything they do from now on has to be judged on their past history.

You should order 2 of them, that way you can send them both back and trade them straight across for a NEW ASIC Mini-Rig once they are released.

Spend $30,000 NOW, mine @ 50 GH/s.....then in October, you can send them both back and BFL will send you 1 brand new $30,000 ASIC Mini-Rig that will hash @ 1 TH/s.
Remember, they are offering a 100% value towards new equipment, using current generation BFL gear. Take advantage of it while you can.

Win-Win for everyone ! Why wait ? just spend the $30k NOW and guarantee your place in line when the ASIC Rigs are released.

Why wouldn't it be possible ? Who said anything about 1:1 ?
I am SURE they are a stand-up company who just want to make customers happy.

It will be awesome to take 50 BFL Singles and trade them straight across for a new ASIC Mini-Rig once released...

With a 100% hardware trade-in-value guarantee, who has anything to be worried about ?


The TRADE possibilities would be ENDLESS ! - With NO MONEY involved ! (and sometimes MONEY BACK !)

Trade 50 Old BFL Singles for 1 new ASIC Mini-Rig ($30,000 vs $30,000, 43 GH vs. 1TH !)

Trade 2 old BFL Mini Rigs for 1 new ASIC Mini-Rig ($30,000 vs $30,000, 50 GH vs. 1TH !)

Trade 1 old BFL Single for 4 new Jalapenos ($600 vs $600, 850 MH vs. 9 10.5 GH !)

Trade 11 old BFL Singles in for 5 new ASIC Singles AND GET MONEY ($100) BACK ! ($6,600 vs. $6,500, 9.4 GH vs. 200 GH !)

Trade 1 old BFL Mini-Rig in for 10 x ASIC Singles + 10 Jalapenos and get $500 BACK ! ($15,000 vs. $14,500, 25 GH vs. 435 GH !)

...and SO ON....

This is a company that CARES about it's customers. Why would anyone think differently ?

The Trade-Up program is the best thing that any company has been able to offer on this forum yet.
BFL makes every other company look like amateurs...

Good on ya, BFL !

They have been online multiple times, enough to comment, so I am just going with this:

According to everyone who commented in another thread that I started to ask BFL for comments, this seems to be feasible and why wouldn't it ? ...right ?

Everyone needs to order as much as they possibly can, as it will only help them.....no risk at all.

 

Exactly that.
