well it quite a disappointment that BFL units haven't shipped. I have heard if you want to cancel your order they only give you the dollar value back not the coins you paid to get the unit. Isn't that kind of ripping a person off if I paid 30 BTC I should get 30 BTC back, but I guess it was based of the USD price to begin with so its a little fair.

Well, it's just a crappy deal caused by BFL. The cancellers don't get the benefit of having a working product and don't get the benefit of having held the bitcoins while the price went up... how many times? Meanwhile, BFL themselves didn't see any benefit since they no-doubt turned the BFL into fiat to pay for whatever it is they are doing (giving them the benefit of the doubt on being honest). The only people who benefited from the deal were external parties who bought and held the BTC that were cashed out (Hmm. That's me).

I'm not happy, however. I found out properly about bitcoin back in September and would likely have jumped on some mid-range GPU mining. Except the ASICS that were going to arrive in the next couple of weeks were going to make it pointless. So I got screwed by BFL and I'm not even a customer. FUD merchants they are.
