I truly hope BFL ships sometime soon. I've had a miner on order for around 6 months now, though I understood it could be awhile going in. In the long run I'd like to see ASIC miners become commonplace as I think it would be good for Bitcoin both in terms of security and in keeping it decentralized. With that said, the wait may be hurting those goals in the short term as people have held of adding more GPUs and FPGAs thinking that their ASICs would come any day now.

InSpades, Read this Post  Grin
This is true ranlo, however this will present significant ethical challenges as Defendants can hold reverse auctions and everybody loses. Only the Lawyers win.
Like I said, Only the Lawyers win.

Isn't that the usual outcome?

I also hope BFL delivers. Partly because I have a Jalapeno on order, but mostly just to shut up the pathetic nay-sayers in here once and for all.

Thanks for the link.

There is no reason to why they shouldnt ship as long as they are able to produce chips. As far as I understand, the problem was chips performing badly or not working at all.

no hard feelings at all! We will eventually see who is right.

The loser has to buy an egg, and make a .gif of them hitting themselves in the face with it Tongue

I just found out that Sonny's Pappy has done this already in Costa Rica. Just looking out for ya! Man.

Part of me is glad I didn't invest in this when I had the chance, Seeing how bad it looks to be turning out =\.

I'm enjoying my asicminer shares, but even these tend to scare me for some reason.

Hope BFL does indeed ship or at least refund the people who have invested deeply into this.

I ordered 2 jalapenos in August and thought that there was no way that they wouldn't deliver by the end of the year and I told myself I was going to cancel my order at the end of the year. In January, I decided to give BFL the benefit of the doubt and I only refunded one of my jalapenos. Now it's almost 10 months since I ordered. I don't have much to lose so I'm keeping my jalapeno order but this is just BS. What really pisses me off is that at the beginning of this month they put out an e-mail saying they are shipping and got everyone excited but they haven't shipped a damn thing since that e-mail.

It's still happening guys!!! ++++1

If anyone has seen some of the prices the early pre-ordered BFL miners are going for on ebay, you might conclude that a better business model was just to make  a bunch of $700 pre-orders and then sell them 10 months later for 10 times the price Smiley

I really hope it's not a scam, as I've bought in pretty heavily, and I'm just sitting here lamenting how quickly the difficulty and aggregate hashrate are skyrocketing.
