Topic: ["WAIT LIST"] BFL Mini-Rig Order Date/Ship Date (Read 32420 times)
Since the list is done and they aren't taking orders for Mini-Rigs any longer, I'm going to lock the thread.
and, Josh didn't actually work for them on 8/3...
I just want him check it out for me,
they made this mistake,and I will lose around$3200 every month
and, Josh didn't actually work for them on 8/3...

I was wrong, it wasn't 8/6 it was 8/3. So maybe they didn't tell everyone that they weren't building anymore minirigs, and someone took my order, but someone else said no to your order...
where is Josh,why would this happen!!
Even though I was never listed in the list properly, i ordered my minirig 8/6 and received it yesterday, 9/21 when it went live in josh's kc datacenter.
what?
I tried order mini rig on 8/2,and paid in full,but they sent me a email,said they don't accept mini rig order anymore,
and want me pay another 15000 for mini rig sc or refund the money
that's unfair!
BTW, I am just loosing one of 19 units in the rig. There are 2 10-port USB hubs in the box that have a power plug but are not powered. I did not have problems with the rig 1 month ago but now I was not able to upload any firmware on few units ... after putting some load on the USB (uploading firmware) the USBs die, the easy miner crashes and the PC discovers the units under new IDs again. To upload the firmware I had to disconnect other units from the USB, connect only one unit to the PC and upload the firmware.
After 2 days of operation one unit disappeared again. We will probably have to add external 5V power to the hub or modify the cables that go to the fake front panel display to provide power from the power supply to the USB hubs [the hub with 9 units handles the load if only one rig is on the PC, but the 10-units hub starts having problems]. I hope the rig will be still fit for ASIC replacement :-)

I thought bfl did not take more orders at the time any more :-)
Rig in 6 weeks, very good.

Edit: corrected date.

And now the race for asic.
20 boards :-) Some people are luckier than others :-)
I personally don't mind the cables. It shows that BFL was under extreme time pressure and I am happy to get an unfinished product sooner in this particular case/race.

BFL Really needs to learn how to package things a bit better, and some threadlock wouldn't hurt either... three of the boards in mine were totally loose and floating around the case half way across the country. I was really surprised when I reassembled the thing and all 20 boards showed up and mined as they should. Yes, 20 boards 
The USB hubs and mess of wires inside are pretty funny, and really shows the small-business side of BFL haha.

Well, they were supposed to use a sata cable PCB connector instead of USB hubs to connect the boards together. The LCD on the front of the rig also doesn't work.
Ahhh. Well, those are planned ideas that didn't work out, which are ok by me. I can't see the panel anyway.
Wonder what the SC will have.
My unit is received. Hosted. Mining.
Glad to hear it. BFL has really delivered a nice product even if everything planned for it didn't pan out.
Planned by them or you?
