Antivirus gives a lot false positives on CGminer.
If you don't trust it, then installed it only on a dedicated miner.
CGminer is TROJAN FREE.
I collect my bitcoins on a dedicated laptop inside a VMWare image and backup the wallet and put that backup in another house.
Just in case if my laptop got stolen.

Nov will turn into Dec and right around the time people get pissed they will demo a board or two and promise shipment will go soon. Soon will turn in January or maybe February and even then the product will come out in a trickle.
I mean going that route made them a mint when selling FPGA. Their customers paid up front, they didn't have to risk any of their own capital, and the way early pre-announcement killed sales of competitors. A win-win-win.

Don't forget it is still helping GPU/FPGA miners, who would have had a lot more competition if BFL wouldn't have announced to be releasing an ASIC in October.
More like a win-win-win-win

I certainly hope that the product will be here soon!

Hey faggot, go back to coding and attaching trojans to your miner!
Is it frustrating to see people actually contributing something, if you're too stupid to do it yourself? Dipshit

Are you fucking kidding me? You're a total knob... Let's insult the guy with the best mining software available..
Have some bloody respect you pile...

BFL should NEVER EVER announce a product withe a release date again. They should squirrel away with the VC and profits from FPGAs then one day go:
"Oh hey everybody, you can buy this awesome device NOW, we have them in stock"
"Oh hey everybody, you can buy this awesome device NOW, we have them in stock"
Why would they do that?

Why wouldn't they do it again? Given the bitcoin community rewarded them for their prior business actions (accepting orders based on a simulation, grossly inaccurate specs, false shipping times, etc) why would they change?

We are not going to be shipping the first week of November, I can definitely say that. We are waiting on the bulk chips from the foundry, that is really the major delay right now. As soon as that dam breaks loose, we pretty much have everything else either ready to go or in the pipeline to be completed shortly.

They are not done yet. We are paying for what's called a "bullet run" though, which is essentially an expedited process to get the chips done sooner.

They will probably hire some extra staff to make the 700pc a day runs going on with there haevily invested production equipment they bought this month a face tot face section of there employees at there production facility be cool on there website, but without sunclasses
haha..GL and just click my link@sig would give u some rest... 
How does that even make sense? They don't even have the chips yet.. but what about soldering everything to the PCB? Who does that? Do they even have their PCB yet?

While it is sad they are falling short by a few weeks, I hope they continue to try to under promise & then surprise us just a little. But not too much of a surprise

2-3 weeks until hardware is shipped out that has yet to provide proof of a working device. Seems like that isn't enough time to go from board prototype to shipment.
October 25, 2012, 04:41:05 PM
Things are getting rather exciting 
I bet you are looking forward to holding that parcel with your Jalapeño or single "sc" in it..
So what's the latest on the hardware shipping dates? Will BFL make it happen this time, or is it all gonna be delayed to next year??
