Topic: BFL Monarch - Delivery Dates - page 17. (Read 32605 times)

Oh God, not this again.

...

Last I heard end of feb delivery was optimistic per Joshs new timeline. This is similar to last cycle, hence I'd expect a May delivery. I didn't order.

Hrmph. I'm sure it's a mistake. I figured they'd have fixed it by now, but sure enough, there it is at www dot butterflylabs dot com slash monarch (Why does the forums not allow that URL to be displayed ?)

I can only imagine they are too busy crunching on assembling and shipping Nov/Dec 2013 orders, and don't have the resources to update the web pages right now.

Note the old price of $4,680 on the main page for the Monarch yet available cheaper here https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/600-gh-bitcoin-mining-card.html

*shrugs*

EDIT: My bad. They aren't assembling and shipping yet. Still waiting on chips.

I'm sure someone can explain why having "Nov/Dec initial shipping" on your website while you clearly shipped nothing is not a lie.

Initial shipping,... They are still lying pieces of shit.

I have enough proof that the are lyers , con artist and have police statements that call them officialy an illegal business that steels people there money and deliver way past official announced times.
They missuse the frase pre-order. Josh is the biggest bitch of the bunch.
I will not hasitate to...... when i see him, just for fun.

People who still buy from BFL are just plane stuppid and would be better of trowing there money on the street.

So, where are the happy owners of the Monarch? I would love to hear some reports.

What is the latest? March for those who first purchased or is it even later now? Any updates?

Tape out? Have they got that done yet?

Exactly what i thought as soon as they announced it (Midnight+ (GMT) Sat night when no one goes onto the boards until the monday following *DODGY AS YOU GET*). That clip is josh all over! WHAT A PRICK!

Human Centipede is an apt analogy to the BFL business model.  The served up a shit sandwich to the community over a year ago and they now they recycle the same shit and some beople are willing to join ass to mouth to continue the chain.

You should probably email them and ask for a refund before they can give you the "we can't refund now because we are shipping" excuse, and hope for the best.

holy fuck, human stupidity is really endless.

WHY is nice looking page and greed always stronger than common sense?

Investopedia explains 'Bait And Switch'

The bait and switch tactic has gained notoriety in the mortgage market as an unscrupulous marketing tactic meant to drive business. In a mortgage bait and switch an agent or company will post exceedingly low mortgage rates, knowing full well that the vast majority of applicants will be unable to qualify for these teaser rates. Once customers begin to come into the office to inquire about the low rate, the agent will proceed to offer them the higher rates they are more likely to qualify for, thus earning greater commission.

A seasoned bitcoin miner might explain the 'BFL Bait And Switch'

The bait and switch tactic has gained notoriety in Bitcoin as BFL used this unscrupulous marketing tactic meant to drive increased presales when they run low on funds for future product development. In the BFL bait and switch they post exceedingly short shipping dates and untested or unverifiable specifications on a yet to be designed ASIC miner knowing full well that the vast majority of applicants will be "unable" to pre-order before the these teaser early shipping dates are sold out. Once customers begin to pre-order BFL then changes the shipping date on the later orders to February 2014 from the originally proposed November December dates proceed. Thus securing BFL more funds for developing these miners they do not even have any gerbers files or tested units to base the claims they specified. Further the people still waiting for their original orders of ASIC miners are left wondering why the company is pushing newer hardware given they have failed to ship 85% of the orders they already have and have failed to miss every shipping projection they posted since October 2012.

Dude, it's not like it was $7M USD in the past 9 days or something. Oh, wait...

As Josh would ask, "Whats your fixation with centipedes?"

Shouldn't it be Centipede Labs Monarch?

Go ahead and line up for Monarch pre orders. We need some entertainment for last half of 2014 by then I may have my April 4 2013 order in hand and the thousands of 2012 preorders willl at last be fulfilled.

 What part of the BFL Centipede are You?

Wait you ordered from BFL... have I got a great game to try.

Did anyone else make this connection?
