I believe they offer a possibility to send BTC to them for the USD value of your FPGA gear. They will then immediately send you ASIC. When you get your ASIC, you send the FPGA unit back. When they get it back, they refund your BTC. And the quantity of BTC will be equal to the quantity sent.
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.Why do you trust them after all the bs that happened?
Reads like a Mexican standoff. With that, I'm calling it a night.

They, should send ASIC first and after you have them working, you should send them the FPGA. They owe you that ....
Sorry, no. If the trade-in agreement said to send FPGAs before they send ASICs, then all they "owe" their trade-in customers is to honor that agreement.

Once again: Do not send your fpgas to them .....
Why trust them not to run with both (money and FPGA)?

We descend upon the Post Office, DHL, UPS and FedEx like a horde of angry locust
I mentioned to Josh that there'll be no need to go to any of the above places, having to wait in line, etc. They'll all pick up. Several years ago I had all my packages (mainly books sold on Alibris) labeled and postage paid via online services, awaiting the PO driver to pick up. The process is virtually the same for the other carriers. Therefore, regress back to grasshoppers and relax, otherwise some Mexican midget at the other end of the counter may mistaken a swarm of delivery personnel as a delicacy--chapulines.

there's roughly 40,000 workers (+/- 5,000) currently mining
Speaking of math, where is this number from? Source?
Sorry about that, meant to edit the post before when I got my link.

Interesting doc Korbman, thanks for sharing !

Ignore works very well, I suggest you use it.
The forum should have an Ignore Plus feature where the ingored poster disappears completely.
I'm all for that!
That would be amazing...then when I click on a page in this thread, I'll find that there's 1 or 2 actually useful posts. It'll make going through 130 pages super quick.
A guy can dream, right?
Sure can. Would make things a bit easier for many.

Josh stated somewhere on the BFL forums that he wasn't allowed to make any pictures in the facility.
He only made some pictures of the outside. But he also can't post those cause there are details about the faccility on the pictures he doesn't want to leak out to prevent people harrassing the facility.
He could blur out the details he said. But then you just only have pictures of a big building.

They finally published pictures of the facility!
Like with all their products they had to put the facility in a box & wrap it so that no one can actually see it:

Boxes... Cool...
Why the hell cant you just be at the chip fabrication, and snap a quick shot of the In Construction board?
It would shut everyone up. "chip fab plant isnt nearby" Well yeah, But you DID visit it once before, And I still havent seen photos

Well, That IS a good answer if Certain chips in the factory (wich sometimes can be) are sensitive to photography.
And the explantaion about the building makes good sense.
