So after analysis of Josh's statements we have the following situtation:

The boards *might* be done.
There are no chips for the boards.
They *might* have chips by the end of the week, but no firm date for delivery.
They still need to get the firmware working, no time estimate for that either.
There *might* be electrical & physical issues with the new boards.
And of course, yet another "gonna ship next week." but only if everything goes perfectly in a project where almost nothing goes right.

How in the world do you lose 5,000 ASIC chips? They only shipped 15 Jalepeno's (prototypes)....

Are you sure Josh didn't use the majority of it for his own orders?

Per the shoutbox:

"I believe the boards are done, but we're waiting on the next set of chips. Should have that by the end of the week. Still will need to get the firmware to talk to the new boards, but that should be fairly trivial. Assuming no issues with the PCB on an electrical/physical level, we might be able to start shipment of LS/Singles next week."

Yeah, that one was mostly trashed.

so that bfl picture of the big wafer - it went in the bin ?

Josh is leaking out, via shoutbox, to his most trusted fans information that he won't touch with a 10 foot pole in the public.

BFL customers waited over half a year, simply on the chip waiting game alone. 12 BFL Jalapenos later, all the chips are all gone?

I'd like to see proof of insurance claim that was filed for when you "lost" the wafer/s.
