BFL timeline for charity donation: Soon(TM)
It would be nice to see Butterfly Labs update us on their promise. If they began delivery tomorrow I would refuse to place an order without some sort of acknowledgement of this promise.

Is their e-mail.

E-mail them asking about it.
Quote from: BFL
With the recent focus on power consumption, we want to reiterate that we stand behind our customers and our products. We have designed our mining equipment to be the smallest, fastest, most aesthetically pleasing and most power efficient mining device available on the planet. We guarantee that in the form of 1000 BTC! When you buy a BFL product, you know you're getting the absolute best mining device available, period.

From BFL_Josh's update today:
"Things are mostly stabilized at this point and with our current boards (we do not have the redesigned boards in house yet), power usage exceeds the 1w/GH, unfortunately, but it's much better than anything out by 40 - 50%, at the wall."

I think he(Josh) previously indicated around 6w/Gh/s. Avalon is using around 9.39w/Gh/s. So Josh is saying BFL will be 40 - 50% lower, but it looks more like 36% better if their current numbers are at all believable...unlike their old numbers.

It is not my problem how they pay. Now the exchange rate is down, so they could pay this 1000 BTC. Or did they already receive the Scammer tag?
As if BFL would donate ever!
They shitting even their own customers

Sure they will.... but with preorder funds
Any new on the BFL charity donation? No BFL, I don't forget that you have promised to pay 1000 BTC to a charity.
Oh dont worry, I think maybe they might pay it perhapes possibly sometime roughly later around when btc value is low

Doesn't matter. The donation was not promised in USD so it's 1000 BTC no matter what the rate is.
I want to see a charity announcing "thank you for the 1000 BTC donation" and not weasel words from BFL!

BFL is in the unique position of getting an NPO to embed a Bitcoin donation onto their website as a simple term in accepting the soon to be quarter million dollar donation.
Surely they're not thinking about photoshopping some document proving that $X was sent to Charity Y, otherwise...
Me: Hello, Charity Y.
CY: How can we help you today?
Me: I donated money to BFL in your name and they said that they sent you $X (1,000 BTC). Did you receive... Why are you laughing?
CY: Sorry, but the check they sent us bounced like a rubber chicken. They did give us a voucher... Why are you laughing?
Me: Was the voucher for 25% off the future order of chicken feed... Why are you laughing?
CY: No! It was for some sort of their out-of-stock money mining machine manufactured by some guy who used to be in the lottery business and the son of some guy who once ran for governor of Nevada. I think I peed my pants.

Donating 1000 BTC from preorder BTC is somewhat of a charity 
Now valued at 168,000USD
Any new information on this topic? Did any charity already receive the 1000 BTC donation?
If they do not ship my product or pay my refund, they should at least make this charity donation!

Charity is the stripper name of the girls at the CO's favorite strip club. Probably almost at 1000btc already.
That may be true, but then we can be happy because the money were then given to someone poor! right? Or do strippers make good money in the US?
