Title: Butterfly Labs Ships For Real This Time? Also to sell ASICs direct in bulk?
Post by: Gator-hex on June 06, 2013, 11:55:44 AM
I noticed this story recently, but didn't see it posted here..

Quote
Butterfly Labs announced today that nearly every Jalapeno order through July 3rd 2012 has been shipped out. They have promised that every backlogged order will be shipped within the next 90 days and this morning they posted a picture up of over 100 units that were on their way out the door.

..I know they've been promising to ship within 90 days since forever...

..also this interesting story about them selling the ASIC direct to bulk orders?

It adds that chips must be ordered in minimum lots of 100, with a down payment of 50 percent and the remainder due upon delivery.

Yes, shipped to those that ordered before July 3rd 2012. Almost year-old orders.

As of yesterday they said they've shipped out jalapeņos up to July 20, 2012. Picking up steam!

Picking up steam!

Isn't that dangerous? I don't think it's good for the electrical parts.

Well, considering they shipped 2 1/2 weeks of pre-orders in one day, they might actually catch up soon!

Wow that was hard, 2 hourly people on $8.

Remember guys this is just the Jap orders, not the mini singles, singles or minirigs. Each of those taking 6x, 12x, 1000000000x as many chips as the Japs.

I think you might be a little off on the Minirig chip consumption :)

I won't believe any of that until we see people confirm it here...

Had an May 2013 order, for which I asked a refund and I think it was the good decision. For 2/3 of that price I can get a Klondike at 4.5 Ghz that will arrive within 90 days for sure...

But still think that I'd rather keep my BTCs for the 2nd generation ASICs
