For a $149 investment it'll repay itself and make $1300 on top in one month of mining.
Think again. You paid about 23 BTC 10 months ago. You'll make .3 btc/day. Even if the difficulty doesn't skyrocket (which it will), you need more than 2 months to just break even. You aren't making any profit for a long time.
No, he paid in USD, just like everyone else. Nice try, though.
How did he pay in USD when you were only accepting preorders in bitcoin through bitpay?
I am quite new at BTC, but AFAIK the price was in USD and BTC was just the means of paying those USD's. I guess that anyone who believed BTC would go up, would have bought some BTCs to replace the ones used to order their BFL gear.
If the jalapeno did cost $150, and is received today, it should repay itself in something like 4 days.
