    We started shipping Jalapenos from Sept 14.

    and

    We started shipping Little Singles from June 23!

    We didn't ship Singles today, only the Little ones.

    We also got a bunch of FPGA's back which should have the effect of changing your Single Upgrade back to Processing.If you don't have and order which requires you to send in a trade-in, this doesn't pertain to you.

hi, I will no longer be monitoring twitter. at least the trolls will be happy!. I hope the info was useful to some. I am still waiting for my single ordered in september 2012!. I will leave the thread open in case anyone wants to comment further. regards.

Do somebody have 25,50 or 500 Ghs  miner from BFL ?

BFL_Josh - 22 June 2013 - ASIC Update

I haven't updated in awhile because I thought the shipping was self explanatory, but people seem to be clamoring for an update, so here we are.

We have been working our way through the backlog of orders over the past month. Production is slowly ramping up and we are easily able to manufacture 200 units a day currently - there will be no problem hitting 400 units a day once things are in full production. Right now, we are stymied by the inflow of chips. However, the inflow rate of chips is increasing and we expect it to be quite high within the next week or two. It's been a long road to smoothing out these bottlenecks here and there.

Lots of Jalapeno's have been sent out the door, as well as some singles and minirigs. Production on the longoard lines are really going to start to ramp up next week and the following weeks.

We have been refining the firmware for both the short board but mostly for the longboard. One of the primary changes has been to switch from a one job per board method to a one job per chip method. This has fixed a lot of the latency issues we were experiencing with the early firmware and what held up production on some of the 60 GH/s units. We have not yet finished the XLINK portion of the firmware to be operating at 100% yet, so the first few minirigs that are going out the door are shipping as individual USB devices (8 per box) instead of 1 big USB device. Going forward, once the XLINK stuff is finalized, minirigs will be shipped out as XLINK equipped.

We will continue to refine the firmware as we go along. With the current firmware, we are seeing between 260w to 280w per 60 GH/s unit, or 4.3w - 4.6w per GH at the wall on 120v. Actual chip wattage is just under 3w per GH.

In other news, we have released all the documentation necessary for people to begin creating their own boards to house our chips and we have begun selling our chips in bulk. The first deliveries of our chips are expected in roughly 100 days from the time of order. We still expect the current back order backlog to be cleared by the middle of September or so, although given what we can likely achieve with our production rate, I suspect it may be sooner than that. No guarantees on that either way, though.

P.S. to prove it's a scam I have 21GH of BGL 7GH miners ordered in April that they say will arrive in July (yeah right), scammers! I advise you all hold off ordering ASICs until I can prove it's not a scam, even then if I receive these miners I will need 1-2 months 24/7 testing to prove they work as promised, just all hold off until you get my proof 

There is no rises in BTC difficulty. ASIC's are a scam, especially BFL. They have not shipped anything apart from dev units to lure more people in to scam. The rises in Network hashrate is is due to GPU miners adding more rigs and all switching to 24/7 GPU mining.
