You do realize that those are new benches as opposed to old ones?  Oh no, wait... your too stupid to figure out simple concepts.

Well it's not very easy to make fun of a company intending to deliver product in October and only now noticing they don't actually have benches to assemble product on.

Oh, wait, it is.

Link? I could use a good laugh. Smiley

LOL, I just read about that.

I guess they weren't ready in October as they claimed.

It's been 14 hours and no troll posts. 

Sure? They may have been simply moved to a "Troll appropriate" thread.

Butterfly Labs ask International FPGA trade-in clients to get ready to ship

http://mineforeman.com/2013/01/24/butterfly-labs-asks-international-fpga-trade-in-clients-to-get-ready-to-ship/

Once again: Do not send your fpgas to them .....

Why trust them not to run with both (money and FPGA)?

They, should send ASIC first and after you have them working, you should send them the FPGA. They owe you that ....

You're wasting your time. Greed and desire quick and easy money blinds people. BFL knows it.



Just another version of the lottery scam they used to rip off little old ladies.

Pretty sure that Josh said they can't let people do it with credit card because refunding from the CC merchant account could cause them problems.


They can do it properly with a credit card hold.  They would be charged the percentage even if the hold was not used so they would need to pass that cost on to the buyer (or eat the cost).  That cost could be about $10.

Yeah They offered a deposit based system so you could avoid loss of income. I believe it applied to either USD or BTC. USD by Credit card or BTC by deposit. Credit card may give the depositor more leverage if something went awry. Also always insure the package or at least get some form of delivery confirmation.

Pretty sure that Josh said they can't let people do it with credit card because refunding from the CC merchant account could cause them problems.

And yeah, people need to insure the package and make sure that the customs information is accurate.  No doubt we'll soon have a "where the fuck did my FPGA go" thread as the delivery of some of the returned units to BFL doesn't happen in the expected time.
Probably. There's going to be at least a few people pissed off when their FPGA gets stuck in customs for two weeks while they watch the difficulty ramp up. Especially if they ordered last summer.

I remember that differently (I'm searching for that comment to back it up) At the beginning they told everyone that you get your ASIC and then you send it in. So you don't have to deal with loss of income....
Why do you trust them after all the bs that happened?
Come on, be realistic— they're not going to send out a bunch of hardware to random people on the expectation that they'll get around to sending it in... even without any dishonesty, a lot of people will just lazy out of doing the return.  It's hard to get cross shipment of regular RMA computer hardware without putting down a deposit or a credit card number.  Too much fraud exposure.  Spread your caution— if you like— but try to be realistic.

Come on, be realistic - these are their customers who paid money up front, then got screwed with the ever-sliding deadlines. I'm talkin royally screwed, with lost profits and everyrhing, compared to what was promised by BFL.  How about those screwed-up miners send the FPGAs back in "4-6 weeks"?

I question whether people will be wise to ask if the deposit will be honored in BTC (not BTC to USD).

If so, that would be a very good thing.
