A $4500 Monarch will be lucky to make $600 back if it starts mining in February. And with BFL that is a big IF.

for almost the same price you could have a KNC

The customer service was not the issue.
In my mind there are only 3 issues:
At the end of the day I rather be called names by support and get a working product on time. Unfortunately BFL doesn't have much going for them at the moment. Why should I give them another chance? The 600GH/s cards look inferior to competitors since they are more expensive etc... Personally for next generation ASICs I am looking at HashFast and Cointerra.
In my mind there are only 3 issues:
- the nearly 9 month late delivery
- the extreme amount of noise produced by the unit
- the high power consumption

BFL advertised "Tape out August 2013". Didn't happen in Aug. Didn't happen in Sep. Didn't happen in Oct. Now it's Nov. They're already several months late.
BFL Monarch: 600 GH/s for $4680 delievered long after Feb.
KnC Jupiter: 550 GH/s for $4995 delivered in Nov.
Why would anybody waste a single second considering a BFL product? It's a guaranteed loser, no matter how you pay for it.

And the shipment time is so crazy. I assume that miners are already working and when they worked for couple a months then they are shipped

Heeeee.
I took my Singles, because there is no way they were going to ship this 600Mh/s on time.
The really great thing was sooooo many daft people swapped to the 600MH/s , that it completely cleared down the queue.
Mined the kit for a month… then dumped it on Ebay.
By the time the 600Mh/s ship… they will be more useless than if people had taken the 50/60Mh/s kit……
But you can bet that in a year they will have a 60TH/s rig for some stupid price…… with an upgrade from the 600Mh/S they did not ship…..

Far smarter people have fallen for far more obvious scams unfortunately. This is the world we live in, Josh knows it, and is raking in a handsome profit.

They're accepting credit card again?
October 31, 2013, 08:35:53 PM
Yes, I am going to buy it with credit card so I can charge back any time if they fail again...
October 31, 2013, 06:22:41 PM
yesterday a company preordered a million USD worth of those mining cards. what i dont' get is wouldn't they order KNCminers instead
I doubt someone would invest in Monarch so much. I mean with one million USD one should do some small research before preordering, no

The worst part is...they were making money with our miners and our funds! Holding it for several months and profiteering. Interest free loans are great aren't they? Until the ppl realize and never deal with you again.
you are right, or some cpl of ppl are still inventing it cuz they didnt have any money to start producing it

Paid for a 5GH box on April 13th. Numerous assurances I would receive it in 2 months. After months and months, I'll be getting a noisy coffee warmer this week. Nope, will never deal with BFL, in particular because of Josh. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. Obnoxious, arrogant, abrasive self righteous pile of excrement... I think the CS department will improve with some of the new additions (who seem to care), but never again for me.
i so agree!
October 29, 2013, 05:17:54 PM
the problem is that they have a pre-order for everything before its built... if it wasnt pre-ordering, id consider it! but a company should not put all of the risk that comes with being an investor of a volatile industry on the buyer
stop buying pre-orders of any mining hardware! or dont complain if you get fucked, because your buying a non existant product

you have absolutely right about complainings

Maybe they don't want to deal with firmware upgrades every other day?
J/k, no clue why someone would pre-order from anybody so far in advance anymore.

i dont get why they didnt buy some BTCs on low price
Well, KNC is still spitting out miners from their first batch, and is widely expected to meet their november deadlines for batch 2, right?
i guess
