Had a dispute with something I purchased with paypal but they could not help because it was over 90 days?? Not sure of the exact cut off date as it was a few years ago. Long story short they were the local agent and after I started sending lots of emails to every office they had worldwide it got sorted but paypal would not help due to the cut off date.

For those thinking they have paypal protection I would suggest you check their policy on time limits.



I believe the time limit to open a dispute is 45 days after purchase.

I couldn't help myself. I really am anxious to see these delivered, despite all my trolololling.

So don't purchase one then ...... move along
Your upset, I get it. Although I don't know what you expect people to talk about here. How good their new rig box is running? I'll give you the update. The only thing they're running is late. Really late.

What's a GPU?
This is a thread to discuss the hardware and performance of the Bitforce Single and Bitforce Rig Box

So far, I get 0 hashes per second from the Bitforce Single and 0 hashes per second from the Bitforce Rig Box.
On the other hand, they also used 0 watts of electricity to produce 0 hashes.
The hardware is very photogenic. At least, it appears to be so in pictures seen so far.

Sir, your statement is spot on!

People asked a question, we gave them speculation.  Don't like it?  Find another thread.

Although I applaud the new thread (someone had to start it), you can see it has already degenerated. It will only get worse. The fact is that until people get these in hand (2 weeks), there isn't anything to here except fodder for trolls.

There is already a BFL thread for pre-release information (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/1ghs-20w-700-was-500-butterflylabs-is-it-for-real-part-2-53530); we don't need 2 identical ones.

As was wisely suggested by @simonk83 and @malevolent, please lock down this thread and re-open when these things are in peoples' hands!

Everyone that has paid for these with paypal seems to be all warm and fuzzy feeling because of paypals protection. If I bought one of these with paypal I would be sweating bullets. I sold a notebook for $1900 on ebay and accepted paypal as a payment. They told me if the total amount was under $2000 and I had the shipping information that proved I mailed it I was covered. So I took the money that I won from the item and never gave it another though. 2 months later paypal send me a letter saying I owed them all that money back. Later they sent me to collections for it. I would not trust them at all. Once butterfly actually has your money in hand (which they can do without giving you anything) I would not put my faith in paypal to refund it.

So what you are really saying is that if BFL -as seller- should be "sweating bullets". And you are right, at least if BFL wanted to scam you. Or if you wanted to scam them.

As a customer there is fairly little to be afraid off though. More so since several people have canceled their order and had zero issues getting their money back from BFL. There are already a few 100 pages worth of "discussion" about this on this board, its getting a bit old.

Yip, saw that - looking forward to someone getting one and proving it's real so I can place my orders Smiley

Mine should be in that first batch so I'll certainly be letting people know when it arrives, however I expect people in the US will be receiving them a fair bit before mine gets here.   Either way, almost there.

On-topic;
ButterflyLabs, Have you guys had any big breakthroughs since the new year? Still on schedule? Maybe some more pictures.  Cheesy

STILL on schedule?

For a product offered for pre-sale on Oct 1 with promised delivery in 4-6 weeks what exactly would need to happen for you to consider it "off schedule"?

I gave up following this thing a while (months?) ago, due to the threads being just a headache to get any information out of.  Someone just wanna give me a straight up answer if these things are shipping or not, or if anyone has received / used one?

thanks!!

I'll sum up 100 pages of posts for you: Inaba has seen and used one, but they are not ready to ship yet.

Also, don't ask for shipping date predictions. When they arrive someone will post here.

Thank you for the answer!!
