The reality of the situation is that I'm probably not going to get all of my orders in the order I ordered them in (that's quite a sentence). Due to the delay in our shipping and the huge backlog, I am going to have to take a back seat to other paying customers. It's doubly frustrating for me, since I bought and paid for orders before my employment for BFL was even a consideration or in the works, so there's no technical ethical dilemma to resolve... however, lots of people are/would be upset if I took all of my orders on day one for fairly obvious reasons and cries of bias and unfair treatment would abound. Rightly or wrongly (and it pisses me off, make no mistake), I am simply not going to be able to take all of my orders in the order I should, because I am employed by BFL.
This whole deal really stresses me out to be honest and every day I consider just selling the whole deal and not having to worry about it anymore. I would potentially consider selling the whole BFLS part and parcel to a trusted buyer, but I'm not even sure how to value it properly for a sale and if there is even anyone out there that wants to run BFLS in the same manner. I would really like to move on and not have to focus on this particular issue any longer, as I really don't have time for it currently.
As far as power and space goes ... I can acquire enough for those things, but it is fairly costly, so I'm not sure how to convert the BFLS shares into the ASIC shares at a fair rate, since the current rate measured by the percentage held back for operating costs is likely to not be enough to cover expenses going forward. While it will be fine up front, on the back end I would be taking a substantial loss I suspect, so converting now at one rate would not account for the rate later on.
One thing I can do in that situation is take the hosting costs out from the top before paying out shares and once the hosting cost is satisfied each month, start paying out the shares as appropriate. That'd kind of a headache though.
If you no longer want to deal with BFLS/BFLS.RIG then buy out the shareholders, as per the original terms:
BFLS: $600/200 shares is $3.00 per share.
BFLS.RIG: $15295/6058 shares is $2.52 per share.
