Got this error on their site. So is this their DB username/password?

I ordered this month, and I didn't receive this email. Perhaps it doesn't apply to me?

Ordered this month ...lol

Good luck order 60,001

At his swarm of locusts estimated 400 per day output which is a load of balony as they have used all the chips and would be lucky to get 10 a day if they had any chips

You will get your unit in 27 years ... Cheesy

Think about it ... I am sorry for your loss ...lol

You need to be subscribed to get emails. Do it through your account. Also, your order is unlikely to be affected by the product change.

Luke -JR receives a second unit.......

How do you know? He told me he only has an only BFL Mini Rig + some GPUs for a total of 30 Gh/s. I don't think he plans to buy any 5 Gh/s BFL devices (previously called "Jalapeños").

Long story short (too LATE!) we are all still fucked so what does it really matter?

I'm gonna go back to holding my breath and watching paint dry with the hazy visage of an asic device showing up at my door.

You can still cancel as long as you didn't accept the new terms.

No, shipping has not begun.

BFL just sent you a nice letter with lots of yadda yadda. The interesting part is this here:

"Please be advised that [1]due to the adjustments described above, we need your confirmation prior to release of your order into the final build queue and on to final delivery. It may also be a good time to [2]review your purchase altogether relative to the bitcoin market as this is the last opportunity to do so. If your order is not confirmed, it will be canceled and your money will be refunded. "

They did this because of legal reasons - to be on the save side:
[1] They screwed up power and performance, so they want to get your OK.
[2] They screwed up shipment dates - and know that it will take a long, long time before your units will be shipped - and difficulty will have sky rocketed and you only make a fraction of the Bitcoins that you would have made had BFL shipped on time. They want to get your OK for that too.

Basically it's like a blank check for BFL: "OK we screwed up big time but you have to sign here XXX and confirm that this is still OK with you".

Not that some of you guys come up with the idea of suing them ... Wink

Wake up, people!
They're doing this not because they are such a customer-friendly company - they are doing this for a reason.

Yes. It looks like good news but it isn't saying anything new. We know they've shipped a small number of Jalas. They don't claim to have shipped any Singles, or even say when they expect to.

If you read it carefully you'll see it is actually asking you to amend the contract of sale. If you do, you are not only agreeing to the changed specs, but you are effectively waiving your right to cancel as the time of shipping is not a term of the contract. So if it takes BFL twice as long to ship as you think it will you are stuck.

If anyone has gotten through to the server, and confirmed their order, do you know if they have an expected ship date?
ie: did they tell you when you expect to get your shipment?

I would guess that their email triggered a DoS attack (ie: possibly 40K+ customers all trying to confirm)

Yikes! Hopefully they don't have the SQL server on a public facing IP, someone could snatch the entire DB right now.

They need to be quick now, change the credentials and turn off the callstacks before that DoS (wherever it came from) is over.

The links in the email look like a standard external mail marketing provider.

It's much easier to believe that BFL sent out this email and inadvertantly DDOS'd themselves than to believe someone wrote a fake BFL press release with photos.

Hoisted by their own petard, as they say.

I have this same email. It looks suspicious to me. Embedded links do not point directly to BFL site.

I assume that good order, paid for months ago, will be delivered. Perhaps they should have stated that their product would deliver the stated performance, +/- 10% or so. Just like EPA mileage "your mileage may vary"

Just sayin'

While at it, let them know call stacks on production sites are a security risk.

We also wanted to clarify that if you ordered in April after the specs were changed then you will not receive a message to confirm upon logging in. Thank you.
