SB made it VERY clear that everything was paid for in $USD, BTC was simply the transfer medium. It's on your invoice, it's on your LiquidSynergy account, it's in the opening post, it's everywhere. Refunds will be in $USD for the same amount and will be transferred back via. BTC. The BTC price spike is making people illogically hopeful. Is it true that SB's delay in refunds has "cost you money"? Maybe, if anything you can be upset about the delay, (or his non-communication, or his poor choices), but you're disillusioned if you think you're getting back the amount of BTC you paid.
Also, I'm looking to buy a few extra boards.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=336754.0It's not that clear since we actually paid in BTC. The argument can be made both ways but I think it's fair for Steamboat to pay us back in BTC, but not at current market value and not at fullly converted price. He's made a killing holding a portion bitcoins for almost 6-months (remembering hosting and shipping fees have no initial "cash" outlay and he HAS MADE MARGIN ON THE ASSEMBLY THAT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED)
If anyone does some quick math on how much money steamboat has made since April, you will not feel bad for how hard he's worked (rightfully earned his "keep").
I'm not nervous or worried that steamboat will come to the table will an attractive resolution. Nothing he's done to date indicates he is willing to ruin his rep by ripping off the majority of this group
