Thanks for the post.

BFL has nothing to lose right now offering a refund as demand > supply. That said, good on them for offering it for missing the quoted delivery window.

Has any order ever met the quoted delivery window?

Not a single order.

I would think that soon they would be able to ramp up production to quantities that would allow them to more realistically meet the 4-6 week deadline.

I really hope that they're not still populating these boards in house...

So, Feb 22nd order being shipped out at the end of April. That's... 9 weeks lead time?

Le sigh... still another 5-6 weeks to go for me then...

i emailed sonny just to get a status update and estimated shipping for my order that was placed on feb22nd

he replied

Hi Tim,

The lead time on your unit was six weeks and we're now just past that due to initial production issues which pushed back the group your order was in. The production issues have been resolved and we've been shipping in volume. Nonetheless, your unit position won't ship until the end of this month.

If that is unacceptable to you, you are entitled to a full refund for our missing your lead time deadline.

The good news is that your order position will be filled with improved Rev 3 units with a proprietary heat pipe thermal solution. See the Cad rendering of the unit and a Rev 2 board on the website so you can see the difference. This will give you a greater range of heat operation and better allow for faster firmware upgrades via download in the future.

Please let me know if you would rather not wait.

Kind regards,
Sonny K
BF Labs Inc.

so hopefully by end of this month or begining of next

just figured this might help you guys estimating your orders

Mine is actually confirmed on 8 March, order date is 3rd March

Why did you buy 50 little ones, and not the one big one for the same price and more MHash?

50 * 800mhash per = 40000mhash

1 * 50.4ghash = 50000mhash

I don't believe you ordered 50. If you did, you are stupid.

Miner612,

First - it is 832 Mh/s...

Second - how long are you willing to wait for the Rig Box? You can probably mine with those 50 singles for 3-4 months before the rig box gets delivered and make up the incremental cost...

If both were available for purchase and had the same leadtime it is a "no brainer" with respect to total spend to yield greatest Gh/s.

lol OMFG its 832 you IDIOT!!! lolol great victory there keyboard warrior!!! are you 58th degree now?

I love your guys wild ass assumptions on time and what not to make your argument seem more viable. You guys are hilarious LOL!!!

Maybe the world isn't so black & white.

What if he can get 40GH/s in 8 weeks but 50GH/s in 20 weeks? Given BFL track record who know when Rig Box will launch.
What if he can sell the 800MH/s units for a markup. Once again given BFL track record delivery in 2-3 days likely commands a premium.
What happens if 1 unit fails out of warranty (only 6 months). With singles he loses 2% of hashpower and $700 investment. With 1 rigbox he loses 100% of hashing power and $30K investment.

"what if" is not a way I live my life by! I also don't argue with you forum nerds, because you are all 57th degree blackbelt keyboard warriors with not a pair of nuts between the lot of ya!

You're assuming he's keeping them. Plus, if you are implying he buy 1 of the 50Gh/s boxes..well, we'd all be lucky to see one by the end of the year.
