I did pause before accepting the offer, I was wondering what the consequences were. c'mon? No commercial entity would willingly give away free "money" unless there are commercial gains. By accepting the 12 months 600GHs Cloud contract, what options have I limited my self to??
My original purchase was not the Monarch. I took the upgraded option from 50GHs BFL Singles (x2) to a 600GHs Monarch. Due to further h/w delays, BFL doubled my order as compensation. An additional Monarch was put at the back of the delivery que. I wonder if I'll get the physical h/w before BFL offers me the 2nd Monarch, as another 1 year Cloud contract.
So, what happens after my one year contract ends and BFL still hasn't delivered? Hey, maybe there will be an option for Monarch owners to upgrade to the 1THs Imperial Monarch, but by having accepted the Cloud, have I excluded my self?
Not 'happy',

Dear Jason,
Thanks for being a Butterfly Labs customer. Your patience and loyalty are
greatly appreciated.
While we wait for the 1TH revision of the PCB to make it through manufacturing,
we have a supply of boards that do not meet the desired specs and thus are not
suitable to be shipped directly to customers. However, with this limited
quantity of boards, we can deliver processing power remotely to some customers.
Although we are under no legal obligation to do so, as a courtesy to customers
who have been waiting the longest, we will provision these boards in a hosted
environment (BFL Cloud Mining facilities), equal to the original processing
power you ordered. Cloud Mining will be deployed in queue order and since you
are receiving this email, you are eligible at no cost to you (we pick up the tab
for hosting and electricity). Once the new 1TH boards arrive and assembly and
delivery has begun, we will ship your full original order plus previously
announced upgrade, and free Cloud Mining will be terminated.
If you are interested in receiving Cloud Mining while we wait for board
revisions, click the link below to activate your free temporary Cloud Mining
account.
