Wow, that is one very well crafted email. Re-posted in case anyone needs a template.

Thanks. BTW, I forgot to mention that I put "Butterfly Labs" as the subject of every e-mail to PayPal. I also repeatedly mentioned their name during each phone call, and brought up the fact that they are violating PayPal's ToS. Maybe something will sink in if others do the same.

One request:

If anyone else gets one of those "your order is under review and being taken out of the queue" calls from BFL, please post about it. That just seemed desperate and creepy to me.

Not as desperate and creepy as this: http://mineforeman.com/2013/04/05/butterfly-labs-increases-prices-and-decreases-hash-rates-on-the-asic-bitcoin-mining-devices/

After the bad news last week that Butterfly Labs missed their power estimates for the new range of BitForce SC ASIC bitcoin miners and the under performing glance Luke-Jr showed us of an actual device hashing Butterfly Labs has shocked the bitcoin mining industry by altering their entire product line.

The BitForce Jalapeno that was to do 4.5 GH/s and cost $149.00 will be replaced with a 5 GH/S Bitcoin Miner for $274.00.

The BitForce Little Single 30 GH/s Miner for $649.00 will now be a 25 GH/S Bitcoin Miner costing $1,249.00.

Finally The BitForce Single 60 GH/s for $1,299.00 is replaced with 50 GH/S Bitcoin Miner for $2,499.00.

Unfortunately the BitForce Mini Rig for 1,500 costing $29,899.00 is now marked as out of stock and has no replacement at present.

I have not been able to find out what will happen to people with pre-orders as of yet (some going back a full eight months) but when I find out, I will update this article.
