Topic: @ the end of the BFL queue - page 4. (Read 6816 times)
thats the big question eh
Quite honestly I think thoes at the end of the queue are WAY BETTER off than those of us at the beginning who paid with BTC. I WILL NEVER RECOUP those BTC!!!
I paid over 300BTC for a Single and a bunch of Jalapenos back in July 2012!!!!

Wow $40,000 for vaporware?
At today's exchange rate, it equates to... (as soon as the numbers settle at Mt Gox, I'll complete this sentence, but somewhere around $232/BTC)
Major alarm bells ring in my head when someone offers to sell me a golden goose to be paid for in golden eggs.
ASICs = wealth redistribution from the naive early adopter geek hoarders
Yes.
That's not what David Perry of Coding in My Sleep thinks. (Of course he has his 5 Gh/s BFL device already…)He sold his ass and his soul to BFL, and he will advertise them in order to draw noobs like you to their pre-order scheme. He was paid... A Jalapeño, so you know what type of dude is that.
You won't be receiving your Jalapeño until June... 2014.

Pizza was thousands of bitcoins, so look at it this way: you [may yet get] a 5 GHash miner for way way WAY less than a pizza! Plus a free single included! What a deal!!!

Why did they stop calling them japapenos? i thought it was a cute name.
Since the had to insert them onto their back side with all the delays. It's burnin' !
This has nothing to do with USD price of bitcoin...
I keep on hearing this logic, but when computing values, the same people turn 180 degree, and point to mtgox conversion rate. Face it : none of the crypto mumbo jumbo has any value unless you can trade them for something tangible - and those tangible things still can only be bought with fiat.
BFL did not create miner by spending btc, but using fiat.
Wrap this around your head.

I paid 300 BTC for them. Yes they were sold in USD but even if BTC were $1 each, I will most likely not be able to mine the 300BTC I paid for them back in a reasonable amount of time.

20/20 ?
In 1930 gold was valued at $25 per troy oz.
Would you say the same if btc price now was 1 usd each ? You did not know this was going to happen (btc will be at 150), so it is a no-op.
Didn't you miss buying the GOOG ipo or the AAPL shares 4-5 years back ? Oh man - so much missed profit, right ?

It all depends on how fast BFL can ship units. If they're going to ship a dozen a day then yes, you're probably screwed. We don't even know how many units BFL is waiting to ship, as people are speculating in terms of order numbers. One order number can contain 1 Jalapeno, or 100. There's also been talk of order numbers being generated even if the order was not paid for, thus there may be less real orders than we think.
There was probably a rush of orders in June and July 2012, and (conjecture) maybe in October and November 2012 when BFL promised they were just a week or two away from shipping products to end customers. As BFL has started to ship a small handful of units in April 2013, you can appreciate you may be in for a very long wait. The good news is it's in BFL's strong interests to ship ASAP so new orders don't dry up.
I have an order from September 2012 that has been in the 'processing' stage every time I've looked over the past few weeks.

Yes.
That's not what David Perry of Coding in My Sleep thinks. (Of course he has his 5 Gh/s BFL device already…) 
Yes.
Are we "screwed" if we're at the end of the BFL queue for the 5 Gh/s devices (previously called "Jalapeños")? I ordered mine this month.
