This is a bullshit thread, thus I'm locking it!

BFL promised to ship devices in the order of the date they were purchased, then they went ahead and shipped to people who were 6 months behind me in line. Still haven't seen that Single ordered July 2012. They straight-up lied to me and robbed me. I hope they end up in jail.
This is what turned the tide for me. I wasn't happy with the delays, but I consented to them. As soon as I saw people's orders later than mine going out I realized they had no intention of keeping their side of the deal.

Phinnaeus Gage please put this kind of post in the "Scam accusation" section.
This become boring...days after days...after days you pollute the "Custom Hardware" section
It will be OK if no "Scam accusation" section was available.
But this is not the case.
I'm going to report every post that don't fit this section...i'm bored with this "scam everywhere" threads

Yeah, what he said, besides, production hardware isn't custom.

Excellent news! That leaves October and November to set up the news lines up for the Monarch run.
No worries, the lastest on the Monarch is that they will be delivering "for reals" starting in February and anything before that is small scale Luke-jr type bribes, so they've got some months extra for the set up.
Time for another betsofbitcoin bet, guaranteed the infamous push payout. Now playing:

February 2015 maybe.... maybe not

22 June 2013 - ASIC Update
I haven't updated in awhile because I thought the shipping was self explanatory, but people seem to be clamoring for an update, so here we are.
We have been working our way through the backlog of orders over the past month. Production is slowly ramping up and we are easily able to manufacture 200 units a day currently - there will be no problem hitting 400 units a day once things are in full production. Right now, we are stymied by the inflow of chips. However, the inflow rate of chips is increasing and we expect it to be quite high within the next week or two. It's been a long road to smoothing out these bottlenecks here and there.
Lots of Jalapeno's have been sent out the door, as well as some singles and minirigs. Production on the longoard lines are really going to start to ramp up next week and the following weeks.
We have been refining the firmware for both the short board but mostly for the longboard. One of the primary changes has been to switch from a one job per board method to a one job per chip method. This has fixed a lot of the latency issues we were experiencing with the early firmware and what held up production on some of the 60 GH/s units. We have not yet finished the XLINK portion of the firmware to be operating at 100% yet, so the first few minirigs that are going out the door are shipping as individual USB devices (8 per box) instead of 1 big USB device. Going forward, once the XLINK stuff is finalized, minirigs will be shipped out as XLINK equipped.
We will continue to refine the firmware as we go along. With the current firmware, we are seeing between 260w to 280w per 60 GH/s unit, or 4.3w - 4.6w per GH at the wall on 120v. Actual chip wattage is just under 3w per GH.
In other news, we have released all the documentation necessary for people to begin creating their own boards to house our chips and we have begun selling our chips in bulk. The first deliveries of our chips are expected in roughly 100 days from the time of order. We still expect the current back order backlog to be cleared by the middle of September or so, although given what we can likely achieve with our production rate, I suspect it may be sooner than that. No guarantees on that either way, though.
