BFL has no working ASIC chip or prototype unlike Cointerra who has entered production phase. Game Over.
UPDATE: Prototype Testing Completed, Certification and Production this week Cointerra Video Proof I would listen to BFL's own recommendation on their site:
"...do NOT pre-order this product... - BFL"Shipping Schedule
#1 This is a Pre-Order product which is not yet shipping.
#2 If you're uncomfortable waiting until the development is complete and the product is shipped, do NOT pre-order this product.
#3 Perhaps undesirable, but this is a pre-order market.
#4 Customers flatly demand to get in line for the new technology before it's finished development.
#5 This has created a lot of drama for the manufacturers but it's something we simply have to deal with.
#6 All manufacturers in this space have experienced some degree of delay with their first generation ASIC.
#7 Every last one of them, so we're reluctant to give a specific delivery date.
#8 However, this is our second generation, so we have much greater clarity on the process and plan to begin shipments in January 2014.
#9 Orders are shipped in order date priority so any order placed now should be expected to be delivered in March.
Let us break it down line by line.
#1 They are not shipping.
#2 This is a pre-order product still being developed of an unproven and completely NEW design compared to their last product.
#3 Bold face lie. You can purchase from AntMiner directly for the past 30 days or more.
#4 That is a lie most of us want off the shelf products and thankfully we have alternatives and there will be more.
#5 BFL has created it's own "drama" making outrageous claims for shipping and performance on all their products and then failing to deliver either on time or to spec based on their own statements.
#6 BFL has experience the WORST delays in their ASICs 13 months deliver for some 65nm and already 3 months late on their Monarch.
#7 BFL is reluctant because they have done so in the past and have been a year late on some estimates and already 3 months late on their Monarch.
#8
"...plan to begin shipments in January 2014." Pure BFL Bullshit. They do not even have a working chip. No way can they state January shipping. Impossible and didn't they just state they won't give specific estimates? I think end of January is pretty much a 1 week window at end of that month right and you keep leading people on? ROFL scam.
#9 They will be lucky to get a working prototype by March don't expect to get an order made today until Q3 or Q4. The January estimate has been moved 2x now. From October to October/November to December/January. At this stage in their development these miners will likely need at least 2 to 3 months more work given what all the other fabricators have done to get to a working production run level. BFL is no where near Cointerra. Game Over.
you are the best "free water" NIcE! are you sure its freee? or will we have to wait two more weeks for the water
