Did you actually pay in BTC, or just pay through BitPay? Cause if you actually paid with BTC, then yeah, you got fucked.
They're one in the same.
How buying a product from Butterfly Labs works:
Method #1:
PaypalLog on to Paypal >> Pay for the preorder through debit or credit >> BFL gets your cash
Method #2:
Wire TransferGet bank info from BFL >> Contact your bank and send money to the account >> Wait a week or two >> BFL gets your cash
Method #3:
BitcoinsBFL sends you to BitPay >> BitPay calculates the cost in BTC >> Send BTC to BitPay >> BitPay instantly converts those coins to cash >> BFL gets your cash
The common theme here is that Butterfly labs doesn't deal in Bitcoins...
Yeah, that's what the website said, but I didn't know if they had changed it in the time since he bought the ASIC. I thought maybe at one time you could send straight BTC to BFL w/o BitPay as the middle-man.
I assume your response means that they have not.
