The refund will include 25% of the assembly costs, and 100% of the shipping and hosting fees, as well as 100% of the assembly fees for those customers that purchased the Fully Assembled unit finish option.

Okay, I'm trying to figure out the numbers on this. Hopefully, SB can chime in with clarification. Let's take a Fully Assembled Unit with Hosting as an example:

$ 95.00 Assembly ($35 PCB + $60 PCB Assembly)
$123.50 DIY Kit (so Fan, Heatsink, etc. is $28.50 ($123.50 - $95))
$133.50 Full Unit (assembly of all parts and testing is therefore another $10)

$ 15.00 Hosting Setup

I'm a bit confused as to what are "assembly costs" (refunded at 25%) and "assembly fees" (refunded at 100%). A couple of possibilities:

Scenario 1:

25% of $95.00 (where assembly is defined as the $35 PCB + $60 PCB assembly cost)
25% of $28.50 (fan/heatsink/etc.)
100% of $10.00 (full unit assembly)
100% of $15.00 (hosting setup)
Total $55.875

Scenario 2 (PCB and fan/heatsink costs not included as part of assembly costs, since they are purchased parts):

25% of $60.00 ($60 PCB assembly cost only)
100% of $10.00 (full unit assembly)
100% of $15.00 (hosting setup)
Total $40.00

Scenario 3

Other permutations? Am I making this more complicated than it really is or something?

While we are not responsible for fluctuations in the exchange rate, we have chosen to lock the rate to that of Sept. 11th, the day we announced we would be accepting assembly refund requests, in order to attempt to help ease the BTC losses of our customers. The exchange rate will be $126.61 per BTC, based on the price history of Coinbase.

If I understand this correctly, this is indeed epic. Using numbers above:

Scenario 1: $55.875 / $126.61 = 0.441315852 BTC refunded per hosted miner
Scenario 2: $40.00 / $126.61 = 0.315930811 BTC refunded per hosted miner

IMO its secenario 1.
either are correct: 25% of 95$(assambly only) or 25% of 123$(diy kit)
100% shipping
100% hosting
100% 10$ for those who bought fully assambled diy kit.

Bravo Steamboat if that happens
