How many products so far shipped more or less?

I have ordered a Jalapeno last month (half of May)... you will say money throwed in the bin, and maybe you would be right...

More than 3 and less than a million I would guess.



ppl participate on here: http://bfl.ptz.ro/

I'd guess that 500 or less have been shipped from the latest Jody ambiguity talk.  If they are planning to stay en route of the 90 days catchup plan I would gather they must be shipping 30-80 units per day minimum.  No scientific data or facts to back up....Just my BS presumption, nothing more.

For now, it's on my work computer, which runs Windows.  After a bit of work, I got the latest cgminer working within EasyMiner, and now have ~10.5 GH/s directed at BitMinter:


Eventually I'll take them home and plug them into my Gentoo mining rig.  For now, though, this will work.

Not to be devils advocate... but if you got them running at work, why not leave them there..... Will anyone really notice? $$$ savings...

They'd be more secure at home, and the power draw of two Jalapeños is not much more than that of the 7750 in my mining rig. Besides, my work computer is getting long in the tooth (Athlon 64 3700+, though it is running Win7 now) and lately has been prone to bluescreening and/or freezing.  The mining rig doesn't have these problems.

Idk if your work would let you fix the comp or not, but try running ComboFix. It should get rid of those pesky BSOD's(among most other problems) if they arent anything serious.

If you have an extra network plug in at work, pick up a cheap Raspberry Pi, download Minepeon, set it up, and go, and leave them at work.

Received email this morning...my Jalapeños are on the way.  w00t!

"Standard shipping," at least for my smallish order, turned out to be Priority Mail.  Odds are they'll arrive here Wednesday afternoon. 

They arrived here this morning...our mail must get here earlier than I thought.  Click any of the pix to embiggen. :-)

They shipped in this box...



...into which this box was a snug fit:



Two Jalapeños tucked away inside (power supplies and USB cables are in the two small boxes on the right):



One had this note wrapped up with it:



Unboxed:



For now, it's on my work computer, which runs Windows.  After a bit of work, I got the latest cgminer working within EasyMiner, and now have ~10.5 GH/s directed at BitMinter:




Ordered 29 Aug 12, arrived 19 Jun 13, order #6535.

To get EasyMiner working with something other than EclipseMC or Eligius, use the "manual mining" option under the settings tab.  Fill it with something like this:

Code:
cgminer-nogpu -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u user_worker -p password

Repeat the -o/-u/-p options for each additional pool you want to configure.

It also wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the bundled cgminer (3.1.1) with the latest (3.2.2, as of this writing).  cgminer 3.2.x uses a rewritten USB communication layer. Instead of the FTDI USB-to-RS232 driver, you'll want to use a tool called "zadig" to install the driver that cgminer will use:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/

Reboot and your miners will show up.

Eventually I'll take them home and plug them into my Gentoo mining rig.  For now, though, this will work.

Omg - I ordered mine in 2013 - they will come next year =(

They are actually trying (and so far, succeeding) to ship a month's worth of Jalapeno orders each week. So if they can maintain that pace, worst case is September.

Jody posts their daily shipping progress on her blog. https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/

So now Jalapenos and SC Singles are shipping, with Minirigs on hold.

When do we start seeing Little Singles? Will I see mine (ordered in February) this year? By then will difficulty be less than 500,000,000?

Pity anyone who ordered at the new prices.

Little Singles are also currently shipping. I don't know where you heard they weren't. Difficulty is only at 15.6 million. If it multiplied by 10 it would only be 156 million. It wont be at 500 million any time soon.

I wish BFL would stop shipping Jalapeno rigs until every other type of rig is shipped up to 08/22/2012. Any information on what order date the two shipped singles were at?

If you bothered to read any of their forum blogs and posts about the other models, you would know they have a team of workers on standby that are not building Jalapeno rigs, waiting to be called in to build the other models as soon as they can.



I don't monitor those forums too closely anymore, but that is good news indeed. If they get the order chain up to balance, then that would be best.

This, is why I'm not even putting in an order. Quite a quandary they have there, in order to keep from completely upsetting customers such as yourself (even more than they have already that is!).

I think they're probably keeping a balance between getting too far ahead with Jalapenos and getting their other devices ready.
