Lazy miner!!!
To put it mildly.
Ludicrous. You just couldn't make it up.
Congratulations to SadPanda. He definitively has some fun with those, but it is an exception from general rule that people spend fat $$$$, wait ages and get nothing in return.

Thanks. They can and soem already do run much faster than 5GH.
I would like to point out that I did not pre-order and never would. If it were not for the fact that I knew the person selling their pre-order and knew they needed the cash I would not have purchased. As it turned out, I was very lucky in the ROI on this.
Looking to buy some Avalon chips if I am going to do anything with mining and suggest to anyone else that is the best ROI mining wise atm.
cheers
This company is full of monsters, I got my refund today.
I don't care if they deliver ever, no business that operates this way and pisses on their customers deserves support from anyone, even if they somehow manage to finally crap out a product a year late.

Go figure out a way to make money =(
I was at the Conference in San Jose and they had working two 30g and a jalapeno hashing away at there table, so I think there pretty close to delivery. Now would be the time to place a order. They said pre-orders would arrive next month and full supply by September.
My God. It's full of shills.
Boom.
Best quote I've seen in awhile
Well its better news than them shipping a couple 60gh miners to Wired and Ars Technica for evaluation...
At least "real customers," i.e., not Luke-Jr, have started to receive them. This is a positive development.

Real customer, report in... ... ... ... ... ...
I said... REAL CUSTOMER... REPORT IN!...
Hello... are you there?
Real-customer... can't write a review, or brag about getting his/her machine first... and is obviously sooo impressed by his/her purchase, that they completely forgot to tell anyone about getting the thing they waited all year to get! They must still be looking for the power button! OOps, that wasn't in this design... Send it back, we have a revision coming for that!
So your not impressed with the working asics that have already shipped? So far they have shipped like 84 units or something just today???

And the reports of these "running" shipped units, that they "don't even know the specs for"... are just flying off the shelves... all those original 30 reporters and reviewers... yet, none of the 30 reports or reviews... only a disection of a dead unit by a sort-of hacker group...https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/165-tuesday-5-21-shipping-updates-page3.html
Whoa... $2,000,000 and they produce 80+30 $40 units! Sent to the secret-reviewers, "who's names can't be named"... Just like harry potter! Who are they reviewing them for? The CIA?

Cool, thats some real bright news amidst all the FUDing.
Yeah, super bright news, BFL started "shipping" 2 weeks ago and in these 2 weeks they shipped a few dozens (and I'm being generous) Jalapeños to customers who placed their orders during the very first 3 days (22nd, 23rd and 24th June 2012).
At this rate customers that ordered in September 2012 or later will get their Jalapeños in 2016, and customers who preordered Singles and Mini Singles will probably receive their units in 2017 or 2018.
Customers that ordered mini-rigs... Well, that's an horror story in itself, no need to beat on a dead horse (I fell your pain, guys).

As long as no one confirms that we've received their order BFL can say what they want....
I received my pre-ordered (day 2, I think) Jalapeno today.
You are a central figure, and may have jumped the queue. A confirmation from some random pretty anonymous but long-term user would count a lot more in this case.
I have mine, ordered 6/24, received 5/23 . Im a nobody and Ive been here since july 2011.
Have you sold them already?
BTW, why sad panda now
? You should be a happy panda!

Got my 2 Jalepenos. Completely random as I bought someone else pre-order like forever ago. Working on getting BFGminer configed to see what it will run them at. BFGminer's author had his unit running at almost 5.5GHs. mmmmmmmmmm

Jeez, man. First you cooperate with the CIA. Then you get a BFL ASIC miner, which is some sort of mythical artifact at this stage.
What's next, partnering with Mr. Shavers to launch a Bitcoin fork?
Just joking of course

I noticed on the pool that Bitcoin Block number 237487 (ID# 000000000000005c7e7d570bf0a56c608c59cd83) was found today at 8:01 by user "BFL".
Someone must have a wicked sense of humour as Butterfly Labs Inc couldn't possibly be using one their four associated mining farms in Kansas to be mining for themselves.

We are expecting several thousand chips next week from our new packaging facility and expect to start shipping all product lines next week. Beyond that, we will be receiving thousands of chips per week at an ever increasing pace between now and until all of the remaining 68 wafers are used up. We have additional wafers on order and they should be ready about the time we've used up all 68 wafers should we need them. Soon after, we hope to have product on the shelf for immediate shipment, depending on how many orders come in between now and when we catch up the backlog.[\quote]

Gavin, did you order only that or did they fulfill a partial order?
