I love them!
i got my jalapenos upgraded to 7.5 GH each, received them a few months ago and have made triple my BTC back already!
the electricity use is so low that i expect to continue running them for a long time, especially if the price of BTC keeps going up the way it has recently.

I've also got an early preorder of the knc jupiter.  Just like i had a very early BTC order, i expect that being early to the game will help alot.

I do feel bad for folks that bought later and still havent gotten their gear, but they need to understand that they had a years of pre-orders ahead of them, and pre-ordering gear while making calculations about what the return should be is extremely risky. If i lose money on my next pre-order, its MY fault, not theirs.  I am both a beekeeper and I also keep chickens, and we never count our chickens before they hatch, nor sell our honey before it's bottled. This works the same way.

BFL saved me TONS of time, hassle, and monetary loss by being so publicly inept that I could easily choose another mining company to invest in.  So thank you BFL!

BFL tought me that even totally legit company with all that government paperwork and stuff - still can fuck you over. And that any ASIC order should be paid with PayPal, they can sort things out and force refund.
Its a shame that device for bitcoin minig should not be paid by bitcoins, though.

Loss of Revenue

Loss of time

Post by: PuertoLibre on September 26, 2013, 02:43:28 AM
I like BFL,

The reasons are many,
Mainly because they sent their hardware late,
I like them because they hire a crazy PR guy.
They kept me profitable during Avalons reign,
Their lies keep me laughing all day long.
Their customers going crazy entertain me in the morning.
They have a no refund policy and trapped all their customers with them.
I would sing praises, because I like BFL as a shrewd competitor to all other miners.

Did I mention they delay their customers forever?
You can't pay for that kind of service....

I ran BFL FPGAs for over a year, and used the money to upgrade to ASIC. The FPGAs paid for themselves many times over, because I held a fair amount of the BTC I mined until the price went up. At this point, even if my ASICs never made anything, I would still be well in the black.

I don't want to bust your chops, but this statement rang particularly ironic with me, given your nic and your adverstising a bitcoin based business in your signature.

Why?  You take delivery of your Jally and then sell it for an amount of USD which can only be earned back by a future order-of-magnitude increase in exchange rate, if even then.  The result will be  another person ultimately disallusioned with bitcoin and newly convinced it's a big scam. 

I'm not picking on you; the asic revolution has replaced the front face of bitcoin with people whose main concern is their own enrichment rather than people who embraced the notion of the currency and would press to extend their ability to transact in the (few) coins they earned mining, or those which they themselves took in trade. 

That started the day the first guy figured out that a video card could produce the too-simple proof of work in a massively parallel way.  On that day, the cost of participation in bitcoin began to rise, to the point now that it takes thousands of dollars for hardware that may or may not ever pay it back. 

The only ones with thousands of dollars to "invest" in bitcoin are those who are so heavily invested in First World fiat systems that many have no genuine interest in bitcoin, beyond hope for the value to rise, in fiat terms, and then only to more quickly -if at all- recover the fiat capital they invest in the hardware.

BFL didn't start that; they only capitalized on that corruption, and perfected it by bringing in the methods of abusing and fleecing new entrants into classic and conventional "get rich quick" schemes.  Selling your Jally for $3,000, you are just joining in that corruption.   

It's a far cry back to the time when anyone with a personal computer could participate, spreading some economic hope around the world to people who have limited access to paths to prosperity. 

It's a long way down the road to the ultimate stagnation, and fade into history, of the experiment.

I got my Jalapeno yesterday. Fired it up today and guess what. It is hashing at at 7.8 GHs. I didn't pay for the upgrade. I thought I was getting a 5 GHs model but it looks like they just gave me a free upgrade. Nice. I know I won't ROI but still pretty cool of BFL. Thanks Josh and BFL for all of your hard work.

Code:
George C. Parker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Parker (1870–1936) was one of the most audacious con men in American history.
He made his living selling New York's public landmarks to unwary tourists.
His favorite object for sale was the Brooklyn Bridge, which he sold twice a week for years.

More than once police had to roust naive buyers from the bridge as they tried to erect toll barriers.

Butterfly Labs

Soon to be on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Butterfly Labs (2012–2014) was one of the most audacious long con "companies" in Bitcoin history.
They made their living pre-selling Bitcoin mining hardware to unwary community members.
Their favorite object for sale was revolving 'new mining hardware', which were pre-sold every
few months for the years they were in operation. BFL convinced their marks that they could make a
reasonable "ROI" by pre-ordering hardware, that was delivered in some case 12 months late.
More than once the community had to start threads and warn naive buyers from
buying BFL products as they continued to buy units that were merely vapourware,
and were hard pressed to get refunds from PayPal, Credit Cards and rarely if ever if they paid in
BTC or wire transfer, in direct conflict with FTC regulation.

I also love BFL as I was able to sell a $1200 Feb pre-order for $2500 because of their expert deceptive marketing! The buyer upgraded his order to a Monarch and I really hope he does OK but I still feel a little bad since I doubt he will come out ahead...
Yep.  Thank you BFL for 300% profit.

"Guaranteed oversight by BFL. You too easily give them credit. Free GH is not a BFL customer satisfaction tactic. Some other poor mark who paid for 7 GH just got a 4.5 GH Jala"

I was just on the BLF forum and I guess got lucky.  Some guy paid for two 7 GH Jalapenos but got two 4.5 GH units. I will just thank the BTC gods that my Jala is working and hashing away.

Used "their" too much.  Rather, replace "their" with "BFL Fraudulently" 

I was looking around the bfl stuff I used to be on when I was on their side with my April preorder 50GH single - I see those sites, bfl ptz ro and Grnbrgs twitter feed are no longer updated - I think those two jumped ship also!     OH MY GOD - According to Jody's BS(log) https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/356-tuesday-october-22-2013-shipping-update.html

I would still be a month out on their paydates before I got my order..AKA...Thanksgiving.  Best Move ever (yet still a net loss over holding btc) was to cancel my BFL order ala paypal forced chargeback and to get myself a KNC Mercury, WHICH was 500 dollars less AND delivered YESTERDAY.  All and all, in your face BFL, if you got your order that you've been waiting a year for, good for you, but you still screwed up and didn't get an Avalon which you would've had since February, not June, July, August.

Definitely screwed up. I cancelled my Avalon B2 order in Feb. because I was too lazy to buy BTC to pay for it. Easy payment of Paypal lured me over to BFL.

Thank you BFL for taking forever to get anything out of the door. Thanks to that, my GPU's were able to mine almost a year longer than I ever dreamed.

Yes , I totally like BLF.
Because I never worked with them.

Same how I love what Hashfast is doing since I've bought a KNCminer.

BFL shipped out orders and didn't run away with money!

They also took so long that ROI is nearly impossible. This is a great thing because people need to learn that preordering products without a contracted shipping date is stupid.

I love BFL because having never delivered a single Monarch have lowered the price on them so much that it is insulting to the early adopters.

These are acts of a desperate company trying to drive cash flow

I love BFL because they made so bad in the last year that all the posts on this forum help me to decide to DO NOT BUY anything from them, ever.
Thank you BFL, sometimes you have company with mixed reviews and you can't decide, but in your case, it was spot on!

Post by: joeventura on January 10, 2014, 07:36:02 PM
My favorite thing BFL did today was they ran out of 50GH singles that they were selling for $984 ($19.68 a GH)

so now they are selling little singles (25gh) for $743 ($31.36 a GH)


Aren't they great?

Their failure meant my B2 avalon ended up mining far more then it otherwise would have. So there's that.

This is why I love Butterfly Labs :)

Inaba thanks for BLOCKING ME... you CANT handle a little customer feed back ??? You delay customers shipments and then you dont bless them with some money or an extra rig. You should learn from Cointerra, at less they are trying to make it up to their customers.
