"Because we have not shipped for such a long time PayPal is requiring us to ship a small number of the orders made through them and send them the tracking numbers."

Awesome.... so much for 1/3 plan.

Code for: There has been so many refunds via PayPal, they have limited us.

I read a few of the replies to Jody's post and took note that earlier orders were place via Bitcoin via BitPay. How is that PayPal orders get process first?

They seem to have a myriad of clusterfucks all going on at the same time, and I wouldn't be surprised if they forget to place the UL, FCC and CE labels on any of the outgoing units due to be overwhelmed with all the chaos, notwithstanding the MineCraft tournament coming up and the cancellation of the Kansas City Airshow.

BFL_Jody:

"It's not because of chargebacks. The customers are not triggering this. It's to give PayPal themselves peace of mind"

"Jalapenos only at this point. DarkMatter did not get a tracking number. I can send him one if he likes, but it won't be for his package. I told you about the few related to PayPal because I could not in good conscience say, "Only orders made on June 23 went out today," because that would be untrue. I want to give only the facts here."

So basically order with PayPal and they will legally force BFL to bump you in the queue!?

Someone explain to me, why Paypal would even care. They get payed for the shipping service (the more units shipping the better?) and any chargeback period of money sent through paypal have already expired?

By the way, this is a duplicate thread, if anyone wants to see the original announcement:

BFL: Chips have shipped, on their way to US

I was under the impression (from the BFL website) that there would be specialized software included to run with the asic products. Is it really just plug & play? also.. what is you 24 hr BTC reward looking like? I realize this all is variable from the network difficulty etc, but a ballpark figure would be nice to know.
thanks for the sharing mang! I thought the video quality was fine.

Hmm,

About .25BTC per day. (@ Current difficulty, which will only last about 5 more days)

Custom BFG Software?

Depending on how good at coding they are, surely they can make that executable display anything they like? FPGA anyone??

Just sayin'....

People can say what they want about them, but they are one of the best at coming up with excuses. Grin

The fact that BFL announced 'we are shipping', followed by 'a total of 12 units in 2 days' is fucking pathetic.

So the jalapeno has 2 underclocked chips!

http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/36156/flight-of-the-butterfly-plan-b-3/

Tell us more about the 50GH single case!

wow, dude, can't believe I had never heard of JB before.

Thank you very much...

....how much?

.0321 btc incoming in ... 3... 2... 1.... oh wait, forgot to add transaction fee... this might take a while Wink

:edit: how does the network figure out what a fair transaction fee is anyways? .0005 on this transaction is like 8 cents! that's like 1.6%!! I feel like I'm being robbed blind here!!! (*finds a dime in the couch*) oh, ok, I don't feel so bad now. Grin

hahahahha wow.

there goes more chips.

And that also means the "little" has 8 chips, so then the single will have 2 boards alongside the integrated PSU!

I do hope BFL will give us the choice between 2 littles and a monster single (with unwelcomed additional fan for PSU?).

Stop posting the same damn pic over and over...once was to much...lol

As this was a dev board.....more then likely free....open that thing already. Their are thousands of ppl that HAVE paid good money that have nothing...let us at least see what is inside...Thanks...

If OP gives the device to a competing company like Avalon, would they be able to reverse-engineer it and "steal" ideas to make it easier to make another miner?
