Topic: ["WAIT LIST"] BFL Mini-Rig Order Date/Ship Date - page 14. (Read 32420 times)
just got this from BFL, "Final assembly of the parts are coming in to us at the end of the month and volume delivery will begin shortly thereafter."
! Y E S !
thanks for the update
Has anyone received any progress updates from bfl on their mini-rig development?
Three weeks ago, Sonny told me that they haven't hit any snags for my March order that's due to ship end of June.I'd like to hear from fefox or gigavps, though. I believe their orders are due to ship in the next week or two.
I sent Sonny a email today asking for any updates, I think the last time I heard anything about delivery was for the end of May'ish.
waiting to see what the answer is.. I sure hope its SOON!

ah you guys are crazy with your mini rigs!!!!!!
Why do people keep bringing up this ridiculous conspiracy theory? And what difference would it make as to whether you would buy one or not?
Since they are the best FPGA currently around the block when price/watts/speed is all taken into consideration (to my knowledge) it wouldn't make a difference unfortunately. I say unfortunately because I wish there was some more efficient product building competition out there with their specs since the clock is ticking to the end of the year before rewards get halved. Forgive me for expecting diligent customer service for our 5 figure purchases, heh.
Sonny didn't give you an estimate when you ordered? If it's still the same 12-15 (I'd assume 15) week timeframe he gave me, that'd put yours somewhere between July 30th and August 20th.
I've only ever spoken to a "Jody" over there in customer service. She confirmed my 4 singles so far. Still waiting to hear how they want payment for the mini-rig or even acknowledge they received the order.

Any chance I'll see this by July?

I remember hearing that they mine on eligius to the eligius donation address to do the burn in.Qty = 1

...all I know is that their Easyminer GUI (shown on their site) defaults to Eclipse Mining, and Inaba seems very enthusiastic about them

It's not an estimate because the data you have is completely unrelated to the data that affects shipping dates/times.
This is false. The data they have is related, being a [badly selected] sample. As the OP said, still better than nothing.
I wasn't expecting much for this list but since someone asked for it, I decided to make it. There is not a lot of room for estimation right now with this list, but I think the singles list provides more information especially for the April orders. People seem to be more confident now that they are seeing the "large" amount of shipments and so they not only place an order but they make it public as well. I'm sure the singles wait list also affects their business in a positive way.
I think the big one will be when BlackPropor's order of 50 is shipped. It'll be a good indicator to the public of how well they are handling large orders. In reality it's no different than all of the small orders, but people view it as a huge bottle neck.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from posting about it.. I'm just pointing out the information is functionally useless. So you know they've made it through the January orders... now what? Are there 250 singles in prep before the next person "in line" on these forums gets his shipped, or is he really the next in line? Who knows!
It's not an estimate because the data you have is completely unrelated to the data that affects shipping dates/times. I mean, I guess you can call it an estimate, but when you have only 25% o the available information (and I am being generous), the estimate means very little.
I mean.. I "estimate" that the block rate difficulty will be 1.75 million in 3 months, but that estimate is really meaningless, since very little of the variables are known at this point.
I guess we have different takes on what a meaningful estimate is then. It's not an estimate because the data you have is completely unrelated to the data that affects shipping dates/times.

It's better than nothing, that is all I am trying to say. If they make it through February and March orders at the same pace as January orders, then I could expect my singles to arrive near the end of May. If they don't make it through as quickly, then maybe June or July. But at least I have SOME idea of when I might be able to expect them.
If the list wasn't here, I would have no idea whether to expect my singles tomorrow, or 5 months from now. With the list, I can kind of judge how quickly they are getting through the current orders, and make a reasonable guesstimate as to when I will receive my order. And that guesstimate will only get more accurate as they start shipping orders closer and closer to mine. It's not a 100% sure thing, like you said, someone right before me could have ordered 1000 singles, who knows. But it's a best guess. It's better than nothing. It's a reasonable estimate.
