How does one receive 200 boards and get them assembled/packaged and shipped out the same day?

Not very long ago it was:

1. Get the boards
2. Assemble them over a few days
3. Ship them over a few days...

So approximately AT LEAST a week.

Now they got it down they can do it in under 15 hours? Given most postal businesses are not open longer than that in a single day.

Josh said 400 a day, and he never lies so it must be true. 200 leaves plenty of time for creating shill accounts, deleting posts, cancelleling orders and thinking of new ways to screw people you've already been screwing for 12 months.

I'm just glad it's gone. Firmware's should be free.

If it was firmware. This sounds to me more like a 3 chip Jala since they took the offer down. Perhaps they ran out of chips binned for 2GH instead of 2.5GH.

It was firmware, stated on BFL forum and BFL Shoutbox.

Here's a hint BFL: ship the Jalapenos, and then offer upgraded firmware for a nominal payment. Asking for more money up front with hundreds of customers waiting is just plain rude.

BFL was supposed to ship 200 units on Friday and Saturday. How many did they actually ship?

BFL: "With that in mind, we should be getting about 200 5 GH/s boards on Friday, and we'll be shipping those out on Friday and Saturday."

Now, how do you expect the swarm of locust to do shipping when they're busy playing sockpuppets on this forum.

Besides, it's a four day weekend, with a big race coming up. Surely, you can't expect BFL to be as busy as Roman manning his Twitter account, do you?

I'll reveal something interesting that I've recently noticed, if it continues for another day or two.

Is it a nip slip? I love nip slips! Grin

In the sense it will expose something, yes.

In the sense you will see a live mammalian protuberance, no. Sad

Interested, interested, very interested, very very interested ... suddenly lost interest. Tongue

I must keep my mouth shut for now; I might be wrong. Lips sealed

I promise if the trend doesn't continue I'll just admit I was wrong and stay quiet about it.

I think the upgrade offer is something that BFL wouldn't try unless they were getting desperate. Other companies tell you how to overclock their hardware for free. These guys have the nerve to ask long-suffering customers to pay more to continue to wait.

I think their cash flow from new orders is drying up and this is an attempt to shake down existing customers for a few dollars more to buy them a bit more time. How much longer have they got? Two weeks? Wink

They've claimed *all* lines will ship this week, if they don't ship several hundred units I think it's game over.

Do a 360 and walk away...

Wouldn't you be walking in the same direction still Wink

Not if you did a half turn as you were walking in a circle.

Where do you see a 2GH BFL? It doesn't show up on their products page? I'd gladly change my 5GHs order to two 2GH's if they can ship now. I'd be "losing" money on that deal, but I'd actually have a product at that point.

They got everyone all moist and lubed up by promising 200 units would be shipped Friday. They shipped one that we know of, and then they pull this crap to try and sucker more people in without any intention of shipping the rest of the units they promised.

For those of you who didn't think this was a scam up to this point, are you convinced yet? If not, why not?
