What the fuck?
Thats way more expensive than at BLF itself, and firmware is there to be updates, not to pay another 800$...

You have no clue, so refrain from making comments like this in the future. Just for your own sake that is.

The price as it is now on ebay is about right. Flashing the firmware is not a simple update, you need special hardware to do that.

I'm wondering why it's listed with a 10 day delay as well... if I bought one, I would want it within a couple days; there's no way I would offer up money NOW so he can mine with it for another 10-13 days before sending it out. That's asinine.

Why not? I'm selling the jalapeno so I'm posting it here, this is the marketplace.

Have you seen what's the price I started to sell the jalapeno? 100$ what is less than at BFL.

Thanks, that's true, to flash the jalapeno you need special hardware and if you mistake is possible to brick the jalapeno.

Why not? This jalapeno was ordered more than one year ago so if you want it in a couple of days, you can make an offer and I will send it to you today if you want.

Why not? This is the marketplace and I'm selling on eBay so I don't know what's the problem.

Difficulty is set to jump up at least 15% days before the auction even ends, lol. People who bid on this with today's difficulty in mind are literally losing ROI every single day they wait. This is why it's a bad idea.

A 10-day delay when difficulty is rising still is nothing but a loss in money.

What would you take for it now? That's the good question.

I know but usually people is checking eBay on weekend so it's a 10 days auction. I wanted to use the option "Buy it now", but I couldn't use it.

If a person make a good offer, I can send it immediately.

Where are these custom firmwares coming from...BFL or a third party? Can they be flashed at home?

This firmware is coming from BFL, to flash the jalapeno you need special hardware and if you mistake it will be bricked.

$800 offer. That would put the break even period at 2 months - but judging by the difficulty rise it might be 3 or 4.

A JTAG cable....
Yes its a usb device with a JTAG interface, but its not a simple cable...... (AVR dragon)

Oh the 1.2.5 firmware that was released by Nassar on the forum?
This 1.2.5 firmware that everybody modifies all came from the same source....BFL. Nobody created firmware from scratch. You cant even load the original firmware (1.0.0) from the Jala because its protected.
