Given the typos on both the website update and in that post, I suspect he's imbibed something - let's hope it's not something which causes people to purchase llamas or grand pianos.

The end of March is way too fucking long away! Cashed out "long-time-go" as the Chinese would say. I don't know when any company can deliver. I hope someone does soon though so I can dive in.
WOW......where did all the BFL haters/trolls go?
Waiting for BFL's announcement on "the week of 13 January".

Wow...Where's Tom's official response? Did he just update the web page without making a post?
Yep, but the announcement of a delay was expected when he posted about Chinese New Year a couple of days ago. People have a lot of questions, though, because of inconsistencies in statements about exactly where bASIC is up to - it sounds like there may be more steps left to complete before shipping than customers previously believed.
"March" is pretty vague, too - the end of March is almost 12 weeks away.
Update. Tom has just posted now. Shipping between 15 and 24 March, so a very long wait. Honestly, the post's pretty inadequate given the magnitude of the delay.

Chinese new year or new Chinese year year, this a bad time of year to relay on devices that reply so heavily on parts from countries that celebrate thew near years and the up coming spring festival. This based on other delays has had us go back to the drawing board and figure our a realistic shipping date from these products.
We are ready to set a final - never again changing date for bASIC shipment and this will be between March 15th ad Marth 29.
All Domestic orders will receive free priory mail unless otherwise ungraded. Overseas customers have the opportunity for DHL shipping with will be much faster.
I strongly recommend both domestic and overseas customers to take us up on our hosting deal. This will get you the absolute cheapest electrical costs in the country and in hand you will have 24 managed care of your miners, not just the fact that over seas customers will not have to wait to clear customers to receive their packed it means they keep to enjoy mining right away and reap the benefits of the domestic customers who ordered at the same time. The 3d and most special part of the whole thing is the incredibly low electrical usual you will benefit from, we are talking the lowest electrical rates in the country. Something that will make the actual electrical usual of these devices which are very low to begin with completely meaning less!THIS IS THE REAL GAME CHANGER IN THIS MINGING GAME.
and I would be SO surprised if BFL can even been this date to begin with.
So yes no more messing around - I apologize for this un scene problems but i also give you an absolute final unchanging shipping dates via Express MAIL, DHL Express Overnight and USPS overnight is March 15-24 and I guarantee it will not be any slower than most of our competitors if ANY. Not the mention the fact that our overseas customers who decide to host at daves' managed datacetner will see first mining difficulty jump advantages in a worry free and completely managed environment with the absolutely lowest electrical usage rates in the world. No Joke. For thos of you who stay with us. YOU WONT REGRET IT .

Pitching the hosting service in that post was probably a bad idea.
WOW......where did all the BFL haters/trolls go?
They're still trying to unclench their collective sphincters.

I would be very disappointed if we later learn that all the ASIC developers are in cohorts.

Our relationship with our PCB Fab and Packagers has gauranteed us completed ASIC wafers with complete pckages - ready to be assmebled on PCB and shipped out in March 2013 at the very latest .

Also, Tom posted this back in September.

If that deal was finalised then this delay isn't going to affect only bASIC customers.
Honestly, I think all the ASIC vendors need to bite the bullet and stop the bullshit right now.

Also I am happy to report that we are working out a deal with one of our competitors to supply these asic chips to them at a reasonable price to them , so that they may use in their own mining unit designs which strengthens the network and the market.

Here's my bASIC conspiracy theory for you all to chew on:
Hungry Hippo miners have started a campaign to claim bASIC is a scam so they can scoop up all the cancelled pre-orders from the 1st run. How do you like those apples? Now...... fight!

Seems to mostly be BFL bitches in here causing the BS so one more for you they are trying to drive bASIC out of business so their supposed boxes will have less competition. Those boxes which were announced months before everyone else but are still nowhere to be seen BTW.

I feel very relieved i got out when first signs of trouble started early December. I can't imagine going through this dragged out drama, and i feel bad for everyone that stuck it out this long. Hopefully they deliver soon, but it appears people are still getting strung along. Goodluck guys.
They most likely are scammers, because I requested refunding at 23/12/2012 but they still do not answered to me yet. My order #1980. Also they have banned me forever for no reasons.
That is not good...
Yeah. I can understand refunds not being processed between Christmas and New Year and a lot of businesses here only went back to work yesterday, but if you're effectively closing down your customer service during a holiday period you should a least set up an auto-responder letting people know exactly when you'll be back to work.
