within one month, the ROI will go from 2 weeks to 5 months, like it has been historically.

I dont think its a Scam. Not even from the get go. Theres just too much into outside information from other sources for just a few companies to pull something of this maganatude off. Just look at the new MIT write up (google it) Yes, we are burdened with delays, and it is frustrating, but its not a scam by any means.

They dont exist...

But there is an enormous timeframe in which they they may not deliver.  They could fail to deliver for the next 1000 years.  But once they deliver, the deed is done. So in other words, stay prepared to hear about how BFL isn't delivering for the foreseeable future.  And because "dog bites man" isn't news, when they do deliver, we'll all be back to the speculation forum where we belong.

Agree with plenty of these threads, I bought in late, just one unit, People are starting to pull out, And getting their money back, Not me, I will sit in this ride till its conclusion.

Let the trolls have their fun, If BFL dliver they will shut up fast, If not I will shut up fast 

This is the very same song Pirates investors were singing, good luck with that

Its only a scam if theymos invests in it and loses money.

lmao, I gotta wipe spit and snot off my screen you made me laugh so hard.

absolute gold

5. those that preordered and are now scared that the whole thing is scam and they will never see their money ever again

On the upside, at least the world ends before Chinese New Year delays can begin .

That is right,  please everyone cancel your order.  hurry. it might be too late!

Don't know about anyone else, but I already canceled my order.  Luckily I was refunded already.  May want to get in before they disappear with your money.

What is really funny is:

All the haters/trolling is just creating free advertisements for BFL..  lol

Yeah, only those chips you saw? Mock-ups. They don't have any chips at BFL, mostly because the chips don't even exist yet. Apparently the chips are going to be finished by next week, maybe, with luck. BFL doesn't know. They have no idea when their chips are going to be finished. But it could be next week. With luck. Who knows?

Filtering through the Inaba speak this is probably how it's gonna go:
 - Finally understanding how Asian fabs work, BFL raises their order from 20000 chips to 100000 to bump up their place in the production queue.
 - Fab decides they finally have time for that weirdo BFL company to do their miniscule run on the 11th. This is under provision no big orders from LG come in in the mean time because boy that Nexus 4 is selling like hotcakes. If that happens BFLs run is gonna be pushed back to "whenever".
 - Assuming the 11th happens and the run actually starts, you can add about 4-5 weeks for production of these things.
 - On 21st of December the world ends
 - In the middle of January the chips are finished. Inaba decides to hop in a plane and fly over to the fab to hand receive the chips. Turns out, all planes crashed during the end of the world. Instead the chips are shipped over to 'merica by boat.
 - Middle of March the chips finally arrive in what is now called the Independent State of California. Customs officials hold what they assume to be weapons grade military devices until the end of the war with Texas finally ends in a stalemate.
- 2015: ASICs arrive at BFL studios (a subsidiary of bAvalon International). No one knows what to do with them because all bitcoins were wiped out by the EMP pulse from Planet Rth'Nag'Ar.
- 2016: bAvalon strings the chips up on metal bars to produce a first-of-its-kind mathematics device they call The Abacus.

They posted pictures of finished product? Damn, go away for one weekend and the world changes. Where abouts did they post them?

Welcome back to giving a crap. Tough to be sure of anything with this company, but last I heard they were awaiting chips and expected them next week, though there was a post saying they'd been delayed again till nearer the end of the month. Josh seems to think they could still get the chips, assemble, test, and ship before the end of the year, but I seriously doubt it given that everything seems to take far longer with this company than they say it will. Plus it'd be right up against Christmas, good luck getting everyone to focus on work.

I stopped giving a crap for a couple weeks but now I'm back and now BFL's website has actual pictures of the finished product.  That means they have some chips, are assembling and testing some, and are obviously close to shipping.  They might even be packaging right now.  Their original statement that they later buried was that they were realistically going to ship right before Christmas.  Then they said October so everyone placed their pre-orders with their company instead of their competition.  Then they backpedaled and kept saying "well, we don't know though" and "it might be later" and tada, we're back at reality where we started from.

Also, the Steve Jobs in that cartoon would be where he's going already if he wasn't using Apple Maps.
