   Jalapenos 5 gh/s: All jalapeños shipping in the next few days

   Little Singles 25 gh/s and 30 Upgrades: ALL CAUGHT UP

   Single 50 gh/s and 60 Upgrades: ALL CAUGHT UP

   MiniRigs: ALL CAUGHT UP

I have received all the BFL units I had on order and they have paid for themselves. Not sure if units purchased now would pay for themselves, certainly not mining just BTC.

Good for you hero. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone had the same experience you did?

When I made my purchase, Jalapenos were listed as "In Stock - For Immediate Delivery"

I'm not saying that you're wrong but I do recall seeing the 3 miners on the Product page. But only the Single and MiniRig had the text "for immediate delivery". But then again, I wasn't interested in the Jalapeno so maybe I didn't look that closely. But one thing I do recall was seeing a Jalapeno backlog still on Jody's blog and others mentioning that fact on the forum here.

Overall though, I couldn't be happier with this purchase from BFL. Now if they could just figure out how to fix my first day Monarch preorder so I don't miss out on early delivery if it happens. And yes, I do actually think they will deliver the Monarch much quicker than they did the first gen stuff. But I'm not wearing rose-colored glasses either.

I ordered a single last week for the hell of it after they said shipping form stock. I suspected it was a complete lie. I received the unit today to my complete and utter shock. This appears to be the only transaction I will not get raped on.

I received my Black Friday order today as well. They did forget the PCI-e extension cables I ordered though.

Consider yourself lucky, has any received a black Friday jala? I'm still waiting on my June Jala.

Jalapeños were not listed as immediate delivery during the Black Friday sale as far as I know. When I looked, only Singles and MiniRigs were offered. And later Little Singles were added, I think.

That's fine I don't pay for my BTC with USD I pay via electrical bill and use it to heat my room in cold months.

Out of curiosity how many people that order on the BF sale have gotten their order?
I'm assuming those who ordered did so to Flip them on Ebay.

Have a feeling they won't arrive till after Christmas even though the site said they had them instock. (not that I bought one)

Might snag a Jally once the market gets flooded though

Hard to flood anything when their still trying to fill July orders. They are way to expensive anyway, especially considering the power you need to run them.

Yep, I just ordered another Monarch 600 with the 25% discount.

Let the flaming begin.

Let's take a look

Monarch: $3510 for 600 GH/s due in Feb.
BA: $4799 for 2000 GH/s due in Feb.

Why would you waste your money like that?

Then look at the fine print at BFL site.

15 weeks from when TAPE OUT finishes. Tape out ain't finished.

That is March or later not February.

who says that they Has not taped out till now? you know that for sure?
and the "fine print" is deleted from They site, because was it from july and maybe very outdated.

of course, bfl is a Club of idiots - not capable to communicate With Their customers and not capable to inform people about status-update

Call me a fool, and you know what they say about fools and their money....

I figure if they show up in a reasonable amount of time, I can still sell 2 locally for less than I paid for the whole lot, and if not... it's still a potential 28Gh/s for less than $900. I have my AVR dragon standing by and waiting for these guys.

LIES!

My June order is not even shipped yet. They just marked everything as shipped. No tracking numbers. Just a lie to boost sales.

What was your order? A Jalapeno or something bigger? I just posted a pic of my 6/6 Jalapeno order hashing away yesterday, so you should get yours soon if it was a Jalapeno order. No new blog last night... wonder if they took the weekend off for Thanksgiving.

Just a 6-28 jally. It's been marked as fulfilled for a week and in production a few weeks before that. I only ordered it because they were way ahead on Jally production. Soon as I ordered, the production line came to a crawl. Tried for a refund months ago.

Aww, c'mon man... Cut Mister-Big-Boy-Pants some slack. He can't help the fact he ~~lies~~ makes consistent mistakes with scheduling, production, and shipping estimates.

Remember, we're all assholes for being impatient due to them consistently breaking every deadline they inform their unwitting customers of.

You made us into your demons, Josh. The legions are growing.

and I say this with great trepidation...If I were to send BFL some irrevocable BTCs for a 50GH miner it would have to be less than 0.5 BTC including shipping and some reassurance from reputable forum members (not the BFL shill gang) that BFL is shipping hardware in 48 hours or less of order/pay date.

Since that is never going to happen don't bother shooting yourselves in the proverbial feet
