But measuring actual ship times are a measurement of past performance and are already a known quantity.  Who cares that you received your unit in 7 weeks, 3 days and 14 hours?  It matters little.  The point of tracking it is to estimate future ship times, and as you said, it's not really useful for that, since only a fraction of the orders are reported here. 

Just because they got a blob of orders shipped out to people who posted here and you are "next in line" for orders that are posted here  doesn't mean there's not 75 singles ahead of you in line, that aren't reported here.  That was my point.

That's why it's called an estimate.

It's certainly better than nothing, which is what we would otherwise have.  Right now, we know that they've basically made it through all of the January orders.  We wouldn't know that if this list hadn't been created.

This thread and the singles thread only represent a fraction of actual orders.  I know of quite a few singles (> 50, not including all of my orders which I also have not reported) that are not reported in the other thread, and I know of a number of mini-rigs that are not reported here.  These two threads aren't really useful for gauging ship times on much of anything, other than your relative place in line.



I disagree with your point about the threads not being useful for gauging ship times. I believe they are doing a great job of accurately measuring the actual ship times. Perhaps you mean they shouldn't be used for estimating future ship times, but it is the best measurement we have. If anyone has anything better please let us know.

There is likely 20+ ordered but suspect many don't want to reveal their expansion goals.

Shocking that diff has been dropping for ~1 month then, isn't it. I wonder if we'll go over 2mn by Q3 then.

Wow so five by now, that's ~1% of total hash power. BFL's starting to make some real dents.

This thread will serve to track the order and shipping dates of the BFL Mini-Rigs.  

Thanks for sharing with the info, really helpful.

Something tells me the only person that will be receiving his before the reward halves is gigavps.

If you are right, it would be epic.  Wink

offers an opportunity to place sidebets on whether deathandtaxes would have a similar bet with inaba for a mini-rig.

Can't understand the Mini Box was announced  April 07, 2012 and somebody could order it in January?

They ordered the BFL RIG at 50GH/s at 30K USD. When they announced the mini-rig they split a full rig into two mini-rigs.

marked

But this is not the way to do business. They got the30 K and after 4 months they split a full rig into two mini-rigs and delayed the delivery.
So what if I order a Mini Rig now and after 4 months they split it in 2 Nano Rigs and so on.
Its just insane!
Please tell me that I'm wrong.

Is marked talking to himself?

marked hopes not, but then he also never thought he'd talk about himself in the third person.

marked, schizophrenics untied!

Before you hit "reply" I am being serious that anything you could possible think of saying right now (not matter how unique you may believe it is) has likely already been debated back and forth ad naseum.  It would be a good idea to search and skim through the thousands of post which already covered every possible angle of the issue.

It made me chuckle. So true...

BFL delays are well documented with thousands (litterally thousands) of post on the topic.  There is nothing you can add which hasn't already been said at least a couple hundred times.  Their original product ("BFL Single") was also delayed.  If the (very real) risk of further delays is too much for you then don't order.
