I want to make sure I fully understand BA's price protection policy before I make my decision about whether to request a refund.

Their X-3 order page says this:

"All pre-orders are guaranteed to be protected against any price decrease. If at any time, during the pre-order period, we drop the price under what you have already paid, you will be compensated by receiving more X-3 mining machines.

Example: If you have purchased an X-3 with 25% discount and we offer later 40% discount, your order will be recalculated at 40% discount and you will receive more X-3. Then, if we offer later only 10% discount you will still get order as if you've ordered at 40% discount."

I'd like know:

1) Is their so-called "pre-order period" defined as any time before the unit actually ships?

2) How much did DZMC pay BA per X-3 ordered?

3) Using a hypothetical example, if DZMC paid $6000 per unit at the time of original order and if BA is selling the units for, say, $3000 when they ship (presumably) in May, do we then get 80GHS per share instead of 40GHS per share? And if they're selling for $2000, then we get 120GHS per share, and so on?

It would seem to me at face value that their delay will inevitably force them to drop USD prices (unless price of BTC itself shoots up dramatically), and that would result in significantly greater hash power for us for the same original cost, thereby mitigating much of the damage caused by the delay. Is my understanding incorrect?

This is why I only asked for 7 of my 12 shares to be refunded. If that happens my 5 shares could be as much hash as 300 or 400 gh

If i had any response from DZC on what was poing on, I too would keep a share perhaps, shame is that the communication and info is not forthcoming.
