Why do people assume the counting began at 0 ? it might have begun at 1000 or even 1500 to make the company look big.

I thought Serge was refering to the Knucleheads giving BFL their money 3++ months early. ;p
Also, being that BFL have given themselves 60 days BEYOND the target date(which they made sure to fucking leave out). Then it is quite likey the first units will be 5++ months.
grats, suckers... =)
Personally, I'd not mind too much if they took an extra 60 days, that's 2 more months for my GPUs

Bit-pay is going to be stinking rich!

they can double up by investing it with pirate by then
Pretty sure they're being paid in USD
Yup. They have Bit-Pay configured to automatically convert BTC --> USD.

Although because the price of BFL stuffs is tied to fiat, if BTC goes up I'd be losing coin.
hehehe. *dons the tinfoil hat* Which is precisely why the released whne they did. The BTC price had just lulled down to about $6.40
Then after all the knucle heads get done ruashing in to be first the price will jump back up, maybe to voer $7 from all the rest of the knucle heads trying to buy BTC. ;p
*forgets to remove tinfoil hat*
So, let me get this staight. First shipment is not 'scheduled' until Oct but we are happy to give them money now 3 months+++ before then?

Watch the value of BTC tank temporarily during the first few weeks after these things start reaching consumers.

I just want to wish all of BFL's unsecured creditors good luck.
Something tells me there is going to be a shit-ton of unhappy folks around here during the holidays...

Oops, read it wrong. If it ships over 60 days late you can get a refund.

Just ordered a couple hot peppers... hopefully they can keep themselves cool without needing a mug of coffee as a heatsink!
I would have upgraded, but I didn't have enough coins for 4x devices.

Goddamnit. #1769. I waited all day for this announcement, then went to my parents house to do some landscaping for them. 15 minutes after I leave, the announcement goes up. Son of a...
Well damn, I probably should have ordered a few Singles to resell. Although because the price of BFL stuffs is tied to fiat, if BTC goes up I'd be losing coin.
I'm not sure if I should be saying it here but here it goes:
Sonny says that they're going to split the batch into 3 lines, not 2 as previously stated. The third is for upgrades only. This model is decided to be the most fair. So I guess you should be taking into account if the order has an upgrade and also the order gets a place in the line after its actually been paid for. So these numbers don't really mean much. Mine for example, is 1710 for mini rig upgrades.

#1715 Trading in 7 singles up to 7 SC singles (57 minutes ago). No btc, so it's unconfirmed (waiting on the bank transfer email). Tried to move money into BTC, and got some money stuck in transit, so it's 7 for now with three more later this week.
