I got my BFL 60Gh/s miner and I'll be stoked to break even (and I ordered mine in early Feb).  Anyone that hasn't received their miner from BFL should just get a refund now of (if you're desperate to stay in the game) upgrade to the Monarch and risk the exact same thing happening.  I hate to say it, but BFL is a scam.  My miner came back with scratches all over and a fan that was broken.   I'm pretty sure those dirtbags mined with it before shipping it (why else would it look used). 

Would you rather be shipped a dysfunctional miner, or had them test it before they shipped it? (Assuming the broken fan was from poor shipping)

They still have 45 days of shipping on each product line,
only moving 3 days per line per day.

Might clear April in 3 more weeks, so the "2 weeks or so" will end up being 5 weeks.

That's pretty good for the Monkey crew considering 2 weeks usually equals 5 months.

What is absolutely staggering to me is we are talking about them clearing April 2013 orders!!! Not getting caught up, when they make this milestone then they will be 6 MONTHS BEHIND STILL!!

Sadly those with order numbers of 40,50,60,000

When the package comes just throw it away, it will be Feb 2014 and you won't mine a single coin.

So sad.

From a gentlemen on the BFL Forums:


There are some VERY poor design choices on that board:

While a switch to what appears to be a 5-phase regulator per chip is a very good design choice, the choice to use a non-synchronous regulator (you can spot one of these by the need to use a diode(s) in the power path) is very poor.

1/ Synchronous regulators are more efficient than non-synchronous regulators, particularly at low voltages.
2/ Non-synchronous regulators require a diode powerful enough to handle the full current of the output. (That's a BIG diode!)
3/ BFL engineers appear to think they can use lots of smaller diodes in parallel instead of one big diode - that's a big no-no! Google 'diodes in parallel' if you care to know why!

I can't remember the last time I saw a motherboard which had anything other than a multi-phase synchronous regulator for the CPU - and they don't have to deliver as much power as the Monarch does!


#end quote#

So it is very likely we are going down the same path, attach the chips, plug it in, it burns up,
start again. See you in March.

Dejavu all over again.

Yes...please do not buy anything from BFL!

I bought a little single back in may.  I'm looking at, if I'm lucky, getting mine by the end of october.  I'm gonna have to run that joker forever to even make my $$$ back.

I didn't buy anything from BFL, so I'm fine. But are you trying to say that people shouldn't sue BFL?
If it makes them feel better then yes, My point is, what will it get you when the system is collapsing.

i.e - There more pressing matters than josh the spunk bubble and his cronies... The global gansters are losing there grip and bitcoin could be a powerful tool. Don't waste your time/effort on scum like BFL...

is i suppose what i'm saying ;-)

I will be putting mine up on a mantal as a reminder of bitcoins not so pleasant history, but will always make me giggle thinking of josh. going have rip that 2012 meeting at bitcoin conference in london. It's even funnier as of 30th sept 2013......

'2 more weeks'.

So many classic quotes

You guys should collectively sue BFL. Seriously. It's unbeliveable how much money they have scammed.

It is not unlawful to delay pre-orders, but when someone behaves unethically and with contempt, tends to cross other lines and commit accessory crimes.

Dude, look around you, The sytem is failing from west to east, Josh and his cronnies knew this. YOU WILL BE ABLE DO NOTHING AS THE SYSTEM IS/AS ALWAYS BEEN BROKE!

No one will see or get anywhere with anything they do with BFL as the whole way everyone around the world does business is collapsing in every sector with no hope of recovery. This is the world we've allowed to take place and we will pay the price very soon.

But for the few that realise whats going on, They will position themselves in places of VAST opportunity all around the world. You know more millionaires were created the year after the great depression happened! In every disaster (AND IT IS A HUGE DISASTER WERE IN/COMING) the is more opportunity than any other time.

Look up swarm wise and get the picture of how to put yourself in a position of oppertunity, THats if you got any brains as it seems a lot around here still believe that 999/911 is there to help you! That the goverments knows its arse from its mouth and that 'we can get through this'!

WAKE THE FUCK UP!

YOU WILL SEE NOTHING BACK FROM YOUR MISTAKES (ORDERING FROM BFL). Face the music and move on!

BFL refund:

Contact someone @ [email protected].

Hang on a second, this is the first I've heard of this.  You're saying that if I email [email protected] with that information, then Commerce Bank will forcefully process the refund from the BFL account they have with them?

Cry, cry, cry. You were all fucked - get over it. Do you lose your wallet or purse and still whine over it more than a year later?

This is what I have done. whats done is done.. I cant change the past only learn from my mistakes... I will never, ever pre pay for something that is not built yet. At the first sign of trouble, run...

I look back and accept some of the responsibility... They were very late getting the FPGA's out the door, so I knew that was a great possibility with the asics (I wont go into the many lies they told me how they were on track for october delivery). The lies that were told to me in between, well, thats another story.. But I should have listened to my instincts. I can only look on the bright side, if I dont, all I do is bring my self and others that know me down.

What BFL has done is inept at best and criminal at worst. When you have the chance, warn others, then let them make the decision. Too bad when I made my order BFL was the only choice at the time. I should have waited just  a little longer and would have invested in asicminer instead.. BFL will get theirs in the end,  I believe in karma. Im not going to let their misgivings ruin my day any longer...

I look at this way, if they had told the truth, everyone would have asked for a refund when they missed their deadline, so they had to lie to keep in business. They are just a bunch of snakes in the grass withering and looking for their next victim.
