$11,875.00???  Cheesy for 250 GH  Huh

BFL betting on everlasting BTC >$800 FIAT

As much as I love BTC at current values

the onslaught of competitors 2014 hardware hitting the network including (big maybe) BFL's monarch going to make this offering the Jalepeno of tomorrow. Nevermind the minimum 1200watts of electricity to run it daily

NEVER ROI!

Their hardware looks so good and is very enticing. It's such a shame they are such a shit company...

This seems weird to me.  I'm sure they have a product, but...  who would buy this?  $12k for 250GHs...  even if the difficulty only increased by 25% each month, you wouldn't ROI for most of a year.  If we ignore the FUD and anger here, I still can't think of a situation where it would make sense for someone to purchase this.

This isn't vaporware.  This is just a new configuration for their 65nm chip.  New orders for Singles ship within a week.

Really, 12 grand for 250Ghash based on 65nm?!  Who are their customers, power companies? 

After selling my BFL singles and KnC Jupiter all for 3x the price I paid; even after mining with them, I have no doubt there is a market willing to buy these. They're clearly after the uninitiated miners.

Order Terms: All sales are final.

I like how they openly, knowingly, still try and enforce this when they know its illegal.

Already mentioned here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-bfl-product-250gh-miner-for-11k-available-on-1231-366415

Looks like they just stuck some Single boards in a case with a power supply and a USB hub.

Notice the USB connector on the back.  For 11 grand and change they could have at least spent another $20 for an internal TP-Link host to give it Ethernet + WiFi interfaces instead of requiring a separate host.

buy now buy now buy now!

They probably innocently put Dec 30th, 2013 when really they meant to type 2014.
