You mean 4-6 weeks
Have you no shame 
Seems I have a lot to share today.
A little birdy dropped these in my inbox so I thought I would share.

These will be used in both the single rev3 and the rig box (or mini rig box) also.
Very slick looking. Might have to get a couple more. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-faqVH7SDOgA/T2yN8lUOtfI/AAAAAAAAA2k/3hGYdVbWz5U/s720/heatsink-flat.jpg

I like the fact that it uses mounting holes.
Come on BFL just offer naked boards for $40 less.
No PSU, no heatsink, no case, no fans. I can find a way to cool em.

So beautiful. Any pics of the board redesign?

So does anyone have an information about the production status of Rev2?
Are they being ordered? assembled? shipped?
My order is binned in Rev3 (pretty kick-ass heat sink by the looks), so I'm curious when Rev3 will begin cropping up.

I have received 6 rev2 so far. 4 more are arriving shortly.

Um, if you have an active order that is binned for Rev3, why don't you ask BFL your questions directly instead of soliciting useless speculation here? Bottom line: BFL knows; we don't. Are they being ordered? assembled? shipped?

These bring the bitcoin mining game within the reach of the "average" entrepreneur. Without having to make the primary concern the technical aspects of mining, more actual mining businesses will show up. Thee geekier types may have some types of advantages, while the business types have others. I don't know that it will bring more people, so much as make those interested entrepreneurs not walk away from a too-technical, too high risk venture.
FPGAs (and sooon ASICs) plus the reward drop will "separate the men from the boys" to be sure, and the ones who will be profitable are those who can run a business, not (necessarily) the geekiest. Who's not going to be mining in a year is the home hobbyist (grandma).
The ease of use made these an easy sell to my partner. Whether we mine for EMC or somewhere else, I know that I have a simple to use system, that I can have less technical members of the crew manage.

If your grandma just want a few bitcents to learn, thats what the bitcoin faucet is for. Or how about you sell your grandma coins that you mined. IMO getting a mining rig running at grandma's house is not going to launch bitcoin into mainstream.
I agree with that. No way setting up a mining rig for my grandma is going to launch bitcoin into mainstream.
But having software like Easyminer bundled with the Bitcoin software, with only a button to push "Click here to print money", that could help bring more people. Right now, by itself, the Bitcoin software does nothing to help people get Bitcoin, especially when their wallet is at 0. It had a Mining button before, but was removed. I know that today, a solo mining button is useless, but a pool mining button could certainly had a use.
*EDIT*
I feel like I'm hijacking this thread really hard, and I'll stop commenting on that issue. BTW, nice job for the Easyminer!

My point is that in time he won't be earning 3-4 BTC per month he will be getting 0.1 BTC per month "for free" and paying 20 BTC in electricity to get it.
Mining to educate about Bitcoins. I don't care if they pay too much electricity at first, they'll learn by themselves and they will take a decision accordingly. But at that point, they'll know what Bitcoin is, they will probably have a couple of Bitcoins and they will continue to read and learn by themselves. The biggest obstacle for Bitcoin is having a wallet with 0 BTC.
I think the wasted electricity does matter. I wish bitcoin could survive without needing such environmentally expensive proof-of-work.

Dude, there's only two way to get Bitcoins:
-Mining them
-Being on the receiving part of a transaction.
If you want people to spend Bitcoins, they need to get them first. Mining already had a crazy impact on Bitcoin popularity, and giving a better accessibility will just add to this impact.
I'll be happy when my grand-mother will be able to mine her own Bitcoins to spend, not before.

silly me, i was under the impression there were wide and diverse means to get bitcoins. things like exchanges, otc markets, and to a lesser extent meat space exchanging. i must also be mistaken that people are acquiring bitcoin by selling services and products like on silkroad, bitmit and other online companies:
What do you think "Being on the receiving part of a transaction" meant?

yes, mining helped spread the popularity of bitcoin. i'm of the opinion that we've reaped the majority of the benefits there. sure, there may be some additional popularity gains to be gained from making mining more popular, but as mentioned, your not considering that the more popular mining gets, the less profitable it becomes. its a way forward that shoots itself in the face. show people that they can donate to wikileaks even though paypal and vc/mc tried shutting them down, show them they can pay for their offshore seedbox anonymously, show torrent sites they can accept donations and pay for their servers anonymously and be insulated from corporate payment processors actions, show individuals and companies that they can save a non negligable percentage on processing fees, and then use those same bitcoins to puchase items for their company and profits in bitcoin can be spent for their personal needs desires...then and only then will bitcoin start seeping more steadily, more permanently into the mainstream.
as long as the bulk of the bitcoin economy consists of miners dumping bitcoin on exchanges and speculators, it will remain fragile. strength and permanence will only be gained through broad and diverse use of bitcoin as a tool of commerce and money transfer.

You still need Bitcoins first before you donate or buy. Mining is the "click here to print money" button. For somebody who already have a computer running and consuming electricity, mining will not make a big difference and it is a easy and safe way to experiment and discover Bitcoins. It's not about mining with a profit, it's to educate with mining. Education and business is not the same thing, and have really different goals.
Every means that help spread Bitcoins in different pockets needs to be encouraged. And that include exchanges, shops, donations, lottery and yes, mining.

epoch, i definitely dig the wild west analogy. i think it works on a few levels. i'm going to get started on that bitbrothel.
go for it wogaut. quote me freely, although i retain all commercial rights

personally, i'd rather my grandmother accepted bitcoin for her incredible baked goods then have her set up a mining rig.
Fantastic *rotflol*
you don't mind if I borrow it for my signature (I'll quote you)?
