Too long; didn't read, but has this been confirmed as a scam/cruel joke yet?
I can't be the only one who noticed that the laptop and powerbar in lukejr's pics are the same ones from the BFL test video released a couple days ago.

For this bet to be won tho, there needs to be a shipping label and/or tracking number.
If there isn't any, it simply hasn't shipped yet.

I'd say that Luke owns SC Single, but let it at BFL's office for the time being. He receives the profits, BFL pays for electricity in exchange for further testing on Luke's machine.

Now, what the fuck is going on?
It's the exit strategy. Buy 3 avalon batch 1 at 60k and produce 3 SC units. Ship them, we are legit, shit happens, we will have to close tomorrow morning. The cat pissed on the wafer/etc. As i said, this is too funny.I'm really really enjoying it.
I can't believe what I'm reading. Is everybody smokin' Dank's shit?
So if I'm seeing things right, it's one unit doing 23.23 GH and consuming 179 watts. That's about 7.7 watts per GH.
At that rate a 60 GH Single SC would require 462 watts, which would need to be split into 4 separate units to keep each under 120 watts.
That would be ~ 115.5 watts per 15 GH unit.
I've got 2 Single SC's on order, so that would be about 924 watts total load, or about 665 kWh per month. At my rate of $0.25 per kWh, they would cost about $166 per month to run them.
924 watts for 2 SC's is a far cry from the 120 watts I was expecting. But hopefully they'll improve things before they ship more out.

it can make you a lot money if they can ship it to you soon even if the power consumption issue is not solved.
*DOES HAPPY F***ING DANCE*
Don't matter, they're shipping, and it works.
I also have Avalon Batch 3 coming. WIN-WIN!!!

To be clear, I'm all for having fun and tricking people on April Fool's Day, but if this is supposed to be a joke it's a bad one, for now we're talking about real money here. There are some people who'll believe that all is well and order based on false information.
If you don't believe it, just reread some of the comments on this thread alone.
Luke has stated in two threads on this forum alone that he received a Bitcoin miner from BFL, even offering up images as proof.
Now, what the fuck is going on?
You can't claim on one hand that an item was shipped, and the on the other hand claim you left it at BFL.

Maybe that ASIC in BFL lab has Luke's name on it? You can interpret his OP in different ways.
Good point! With that, I'll just leave the following quote here.
Ironically, you posted this right after I received my BitForce SC
Good catch, how big was the March31 bet on non production?
IRC seems to indicate he touched it, or maybe even licked it, and claimed it was his now
I prefer to believe it is true. At least Avalon has competitor now.
Australia.
Haha, oh man that made me laugh real good. Thanks for that humor!!
I do not dispute that. But it is mining. 
Now I'm getting a bit worried about my batch 3 Avalon...

You sure should be. Avalon batch 3 ROI will be something like 180 days if lucky.
Also, here's some more info from Luke on IRC:

(Removed off-topic chatter, this was in a big channel so assuming public info)
EDIT: Removed IRC conversation as channel was public but not logged

This is too funny...
And the plot thickens..
Where is Luke right now? How is this related to the pic in the OP of which is supposed to be Luke's unit?
Therefore it's mining in KC. If still in doubt take another look at this video (only 2 min. long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C4bgho5JSI

What's their current preorder numbers look like? Also what about monthly wafer yield? LAst i hear it was around 5000chips received ever. Unit in pictures looks like 30GH/s single which uses 8 chips, we could try calculating shipping timeframe from there, that's when they actually start shipping.
