i know im a newbie but... just came here to share my experience with BFL.inc

just now, not 20mins ago i just received and Ban on their Facebook page.
cant write, reply or like on that page at all.

my question?
how many orders have been shipped since u said shipping had started?

the reply i got was a link to some guy at Wired.com who took a screenie of his config. akin to the "coding in my sleep" review but this time just a pic on twitter.

again i asked;
how many real orders Not review orders?

BAMMMM!!!
the ban hammer came down.

so in the morning i will be bypassing paypal and going straight to my bank to get them to deal with this guy.
if you put a dispute into paypal for a refund. they will hit u with some spurious charge linked to their terms and conditions.
So thats why i will be going to my bank.

goodluck people!

I don't think it was originally a scam, I just think they bit off more than they could chew, now its all over.

Anyone actually got a Jalapeno yet?

Yes I have seen two different videos, probably meant for publicity and to quiet the critics and pundits.  Search the vids online : )

Just logged in to my Butterfly Labs account.
Once I got past the login in page, there was a notice that the power consumption specs were different from the ones stated when I first bought the machine. The options were to accept the changes or get a refund.

Well, kids, I decide to accept the changes to the hardware specs. It was nice to have been given the option, but I want my Butterfly Labs miner not just to make some bitcoins, but because I want to contribute to maintaining the Blockchain.

It would have been nice to have gotten an email telling me to log in to the Butterfly Labs site to accept the changes. Apparently, until you do that, they will hold up shipping. But then, we have waited so long so what is a couple of days. I learned about this from the posts of other people on Bitcointalk.  In any case, life is looking brighter. The price of Bitcoin has returned from the recent drop to 85, and Bitfloor returned some money of mine that was in limbo and now, I might actually get my Jalapeno and Single in time for celebrating July 4th!

I think their 2 month shipping time if you order today is still way off, i don't think you'll get one in 2 months even if you ordered one 2 months ago.

Well, the first couple of thousand dollars return will be banked for the next upgrade. I think it's worth re-investing in more machines - and I expect BFL would say that also Tongue

Well, when (if) it arrives, I will be putting orders for 50GH/s machines, but I am not willing to risk that sort of money, without a guaranteed return.

By the time that the machines are shipped quickly, there will be so many already mining that it won't be that lucrative to buy one.

Difficulty will catch up against Hashrate, always. The "More Hash, more Moneh" greed will fall on Bitcoiner's feet.

I hope my Jalapeno ships soon (I only ordered 1 month ago, so will have to wait a while, probably)
