So someone please find the post from Feb that basically called out BFL for not shipping, told everyone to demand refunds at once, or prepare to be an all fucked until July.
Because everything he predicted has now officially come true.
He nailed the fact that they wouldn't ship until mid summer 2013.
He nailed the fact that they would ship at a snails pace.
He nailed the fact that they would deny refunds.
He nailed the fact that they would give people lip on the Web forums and not offer support or information about the shipping procedures.
And lastly, he claimed that they would need a new product or upgrade to keep up with the current orders. Which is this.
The whole post has now come true. I wish I book marked it. No one fucking listened. Not even me.

I guess BFL was told to stop using PayPal to snare new investors!
Or maybe PayPal does not like to be called "fucking PayPal".
My guess is that PayPal and ALL the credit card companies FIRED BFL as a customer. Rumor has it that it's the in-thing to do. If only I could recall where I read that. HMMMMMmmmmmmm!!!
ROFL so when everyone transfers their order they will magically catch up on all pre-order shipping by september. Also notice no more credit card option.
Given their well-documented sordid history, I can't imagine a credit card processor that would be willing to take the risk with Butterfly Labs.
PG's head just exploded!
I've already explored thrice and just now got to this post.
Here's a +1.
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they'll probably get sued to oblivion before getting these taped out
transfer fee?!?! are you fucking kidding me.
No they are not! Now, bend over and take it like a man, and better hurry before the price increase, for you know it's coming. If it will make you feel better, use your voucher. That should offset the priority shipping cost. I'm also sure there's a discount in there somewhere if you opt to host at Sonny's, Josh's, Joe's or Jeff Ownby's data center.
boycott - never buy BFL again - noone should. EVER
Hear hear !
I pity any soul that chooses to purchase a product from Butterfly Labs given their sordid history, as documented on these very forums and their own official forums.
They do not deserve the support the greater Bitcoin community given their well-established contempt for it.
Look at that beauty !
PCI !!!
Yeah !!!
Meanwhile KNC show us a cheap refurb case....ROFL...
GO BFL !!! GO !!!

Jesus fucking Christ. Here we go again.
Christ? Yeah good point! Where is Christ Vleisides (whose name is on the incorp docs).
Can't find him here http://www.butterflylabs.com/management/
Here's an idea to explore if you want a refund: Upgrade via a bank transfer, then the next day claw back all the funds.
It is bank wire (a specific banking term) not a bank transfer (a consumer term with no specific meaning which covers anything from ACH to SEPA to billpay, p2p banking, and bank wires). Bank wires are generally irreversible. I would recommend nobody try that.
No credit card option for payment... only BTC and wire x-fer. That's a non starter for me.
they're getting a bit smarter for their con. Jump to:
