You still think BFL will ship? No way.
I'm confident BFL will ship a product, or provide meaningful compensation, or both. They are already providing us with cloudmining. Compared to Black Arrow, Butterfly Labs is the bees knees. I will reserve judgement until I get the product I paid for and can evaluate it. Any other response would be motivated by fear.
We have been working on a way to make everyone happy and I think we have come up with a pretty good plan. We are finalizing the details this week, so I should have at least preliminaries details for everyone in the next few days hopefully. As a former miner, I would be happy with the plan. I realize it may not satisfy everyone, but I think it will go a long way to making everyone comfortable with their purchase and address the above issue(s) as well.
