There's a rumor that Tiger is in the process of acquiring BFL. This would be huge if true. I'm not going to reply any further on this subject.

aw i see your point but it sound like you never bought anything from BFL and thats gooooood for you but BFL/josh owes everyone (BFL customers) for not delivering on time but good for you bro 
I've got a little 5GHs box on my desk right now, putting up 8GHs. I didn't get screwed like the big spenders, but I definitely won't ROI with how late it arrived. While I'm fairly good at holding a grudge, the BFL hate on the forums has more than expressed my irritation for me, so I've moved on to more constructive things. :-) I am going to laugh the day they deliver on time, and everyone dies of shock. Didn't they advertise December shipment for monarchs?
Four months late? Guessing they will need a new product for the community to make a claim for delivery on, clearly the Monarch has failed to meet their original estimated timeline and has beed revised 2x since that and still no packaged chips. Dream on they will have to admit a 3rd revision and then won't even meet that. This company will never provide realistic timelines they want people to buy based on phony "estimates" and ship 4 to 6 months or more later to cover the fact their prices make their products way over priced compared to more powerful units. They are losing market share faster than they can make up timeline estimates and vapourware.

I emailed TigerDirect customer support the links to all of the customer support threads on this forum that I could find with a brief description. Josh, if you're watching this thread I want you to know you got some post deleting to do. LOL

I remember when Newegg was a brick and mortar. That was a long time ago. Either way, I would expect all Bitcoin retail products will be labeled as NCNR, given the fraud history of the community.

Thing is, if TD does start selling BFL products, they would have to take the refund/return policy off of them and just only allow for warranty repairs. Imagine this, a customer buys 100 monarchs and returns it after 29 days, then they will have mined at 600TH/s for 29 days worth of BTC FOR FREE! Then, after they return it, they just buy 100 again and rinse and repeat.
Edit: Lol, I just checked out the mining profit estimator, 600TH/s breaks even after 2 days and then makes 3 million in one month LOL.

You just gonna bring home 100 monarchs and plug them in down in mom's basement?? You just gonna walk back into the same store and they will graciously allow you to re-order it up again? You don't think they will charge a restocking fee? You don't think what you described is fraud and that TD will just allow it to go happen even once let alone rinse and repeat...
Ya sure great plan bro, where can I sign up?
Upon further reflection it would actually be cheaper for TD to just give you the 100 Monarchs for free. This way they don't have to handle all the paper work for debits and credits and logistics of physical product every 29 days (which actually has a cost to TD associated to it believe it or not). I strongly suggest you head to your local TD and demand 100 monarchs for free and please be so kind as to let us know how you make out as I would also like 100 free monarchs ASAP...
Local TD...? Never even knew there was a local TD... Is there a local NewEgg and local Amazon too? It's like you're implying there's a local TD everywhere like a Home Depot.

BFL aside, I think this is pretty excellent. Overstock and TigerDirect taking Bitcoin? We've been waiting for events like this.
Very true and I hear your point but come on why have butterfly Labs a partner. Voted for the least reliable ASIC company to buy from.
BUTTERFLY LABs - 284 (75.9%)
Sorry, the BFL bashing is a bit of a dead horse for me. I'm trying to focus on making positive progress forward, and this is progress.

Either way TD will have to deal with all the customer service issues, especially non delivery
Why would TD have to deal with BFL's non-delivery issues? TD is not taking over the entire business. They are re-selling BFL machines.
January 24, 2014, 08:58:51 PM
This will be great to watch.
Coming soon means one of two things:
65nm product coming at inflated prices
or
Monarchs coming in April.

I don't have an opinion on BFL - I was just sickened to see TigerDirect promoting the mining industry.
