We are in the end times of BFL. This last ditch effort to generate cashflow by selling bulk vapor chips is the tell tale signs that BFL is about to go bust in the next few months if not weeks. Get your popcorn ready. It will be a firework show to remember.  Cheesy

I wonder what will happen with this bet: http://bitbet.us/bet/376/bfl-will-stop-giving-refunds-on-bitforce-sc/

This is essentially the guy you will be buying BFL chips from. Someone who can't speak clearly and cognitively about bitcoin mining without sounding like he is trying to sell you or convince you of anything. VIDEO BELOW

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Seems like this is the next wave of scams. People with barely any posts are asking people to send them a load of money.

Guarantees they won't run with the money instead or ordering? Close to none.

You mean the other thread where one starts a groupbuy? I wondered myself... he will take the risk of bitcoin exchange prize on its own because he doesnt take any fee. Its a bit strange. At least because one can order from 100 chips starting... doesnt sound to me like a groupbuy is needed.
Totaly agree 9700 USD can be covered by creditcard limit

BFL only accepts bitcoins and wire transfer.  both non-reverseable transactions.

No more PayPal? Sounds to me they're trying to get as many bitcoins as possible before hittin' the road.

I'll look @ this sseriusly as soon BFL have a real world working  production with this chips.
By my opitnion here are the mininmum reqiered to think about chips/DIY boards, assembly from BFL
1. Continius production with this chips (not on a 10-15 1 chip units per 2-3 days)
2.Full reference design including boards, BOM, software, mechanics
3. Having in mind BFL customer service history payment with escrow of some kind.

WTF!

what a piece of shit person/company

how are you going to announce chip sales when you havent even delivered 1% of your ridiculous 6,000+ order queue 8 MONTHS AFTER TAKING PEOPLES MONEY!

BFL is the the biggest disgrace to bitcoin, they are taking the entire mining community for a bunch of fools, and frankly dont give a flying fuck about the bitcoin community or the network. TRUE AMERICAN SLIME

Butterfly Labs will begin selling bulk chips to individuals and companies starting in June, 2013. Chip delivery schedule is approximately 100 days through end packaging once your order is placed. We will be providing reference documentation, reference design/schematics, and foundry receipt/documentation.

Chips will be graded and priced as follows:

Grade A: 16 Engines - $97ip
Grade B: 15 Engines - $93ip
Grade C: 14 Engines - $89ip

Grade D: 13 Engines or less - $83ip

Our chips will be provided in minimum lots of 100 with the following price structure:

100 - 999 chips - Regular Price
1000 - 9999 chips - 5% discount
10,000 - 99,999 chips - 10% discount
100,000 or more - 20% discount

Chip orders will require 50% down and 50% upon order delivery. Payment can be made via BTC (preferred) or bank wire.

Advantages of BFL chips:

1/2 the power usage per GH as the closest competitor
1/10th the silicon area per GH as the closest competitor (Very high performance density)
You can use off the shelf heat sinks depending on your chip layout due to FCBGA package vs custom underside heat sinks as required on some QFN packages. You don't have to design and manufacture heat sinks!
Proven design currently operating in the field and ready to go.

We will allow you to convert current orders with us into chip orders if you would rather design your own.
