Title: Any success with butterfly labs hardware? Post by: teamhugs on September 15, 2012, 04:08:08 PM Rather than go crazy with mining, I'm thinking about getting the ButterFly Labs Single and just leaving it running 7x24 in my office. I filled out their contact form to learn about shipping delays, but so far haven't heard anything back. Does anyone actually have one of these devices? Does it work? How long did it take to receive after ordering?
And yes, I realize there is a new ASIC coming out, but $600 seems throwaway for a cool cube, $1300 seems like an investment. Title: Re: Any success with butterfly labs hardware?

They just got past their July backlog of orders and are now working on August's: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77796.msg1175468#msg1175468 Title: Re: Any success with butterfly labs hardware?

So basically you are saying you don't want to wait for the ASIC and you want to pay 4 times more for nearly 4 times less the hashing power of the upcoming jalapeno?

Hands down better than GPU mining. Takes about 2 months for delivery, but I imagine it's less than that now.
