Bitcoin - helping to end bankster enslavement.

hmm.. the real question is can i slip another 350-ish buck charge onto my paypal visa without the wife-to-be noticing... :-D

Can't help you with that but you may be able to help me. I have ordered 6 SC and want to order a mini rig however the costs of 6 SC is enough money that if I lose it I will not feel the pain. So there is the minor risk of bitcoin not working out and the huge risk of BFL screwing us all over. How can I take such a large risk when I an not satisfied with the information that BFL has provided so far.

Is there anything you can point to that can give me more confidence to make such a large prepaid purchase?

I wish I could just leave a deposit or put the money in a trust.

So with a pair of jalapenos pre-ordered, i can upgrade to a 30GHash device and keep my place in line. here's where my hatred of math fails me. the cost uplift is around 117% ($312 -> $663 - including shipping), but i'm drawing a blank on calculating the performance increase...9GHash (2 x 4.5GH jalapenos) to 30GH...is what, about 273%? so, just over double the price for almost triple the hashing....?

Just looking for a sanity check here that my math isn't completely farktarded...

The reason for this discrepancy is because they Jalapenos do not have a fan and thus they do not want to push it as much as the units with a fan. The Jalapenos have a niche market of people who want to try out mining as a cool thing to try out.

Has anyone succesfully gotten a refund for their preorder? I e-mailed them last week and never heard back.

I originally pre-ordered 2x 4.5GH/s singles and then changed my order to a 1x 30GH/s unit (without losing my position in queue)

How do people have 6/22 order dates? User BFL specifically said 6/23 was the first day of orders:

Quote from: BFL on June 27, 2012, 07:49:33 AM

orders placed in the first month (6/23 - 7/23).

Timezone differences, I guess.

I don't think timezones could explain it, because pre-orders began at 5PM PST (California).

It is a bit, My script was written to get local date form an American timezone, Because I am ahead of you in time, It takes a day off assuming your not in that day yet. TBH I'm not much of a scriptwriter so I just left it as-Is.

Is the only way to get a Little BFL through the upgrade process or can they be ordered individually?

You can order Little Single without upgrade process - http://www.butterflylabs.com/pre-order-form-bitforce-little-single-sc/

Keep in mind I think they said they won't be shipping any "new order" little singles until the complete pre-order Jalepeno, Single and Mini-Rig backlog has been satisfied. So, if you intend to pre-order a little single, it might take a bit longer to get to you than one of the other items.

I think we'd be more likely to get it sooner as if you order one of the other products you're behind a long list but the 'little single' list will be quite short..depending on how many jalapeno conversions

I just think they'd want to have all of their products ready for release at the start but maybe not. Last time was a lot of singles before any mini-rigs right
