lol I hope people are not even the least bit surprised by this. These butterflies are not worth $4K with Feb delivery.

Josh should change his text to: "If you order now, I would not expect you to take delivery of your unit until sometime in February 2015."  Cheesy

I am surprised nobody has hacked it lol

No Monarchs were promised for a December delivery. Seriously, where are you guys getting this from?

Seriously?

Monarchs were promised for November and December. November has already slipped.

Expected over 10Ph in feb 2014, if other manufacturers success sold all chips/devices...
You still do not understand? BFL is scammers company, so for their customers have only two choices: lost money or get refund (if not to late now).

I feel sorry for all of you. Who preordered.
I'm still waiting on my paper weight jalley. Which will be useless when I get it.
Think of 7 - 9 months as your expected delivery time on your pre orders

Anyone who buys these is an idiot.

I totally agree.
I feel sorry for all people who bought last year but who buys now must be a sort of Darwin Award candidate.

1359 transaction numbers since Saturday morning.



Awesome image!  Cheesy
When you say "A picture is worth a thousand words"!!!

PS: Incredible, I can't believe those numbers...  Shocked

Reading their thread, it seems to me that they were talking about the first orders placed in August (expected to ship in Nov/Dec).
But now November seems officially cancelled.

Not a big surprise for many people here...

I'm confused. Didn't they say first orders would be in 2013, and then later orders would be in 2014? Wouldn't orders placed today (as in not their first orders) be pushed back to Jan/Feb of 2014, which is what Josh is saying? How is any of this wrong or inconsistent?

I was expecting this, even if they get some units out the door in Nov/Dec, it will be a trickle as Xmas will shut everything down.

The Nov "date" has already been nixed.

We will not be shipping monarchs in November.

Anyone want to bet they miss the December date too?

Since Josh has never estimated delivery dates accurately, February is another BFL pipe dream. Anyone who buys these is an idiot.

To be honest, I am not so shocked by the result, but the timing.

Someone on reddit wrote "1 month delay per day".  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
