Title: Questions about Butterfly Labs
Post by: RadioG00se on December 12, 2013, 12:36:28 AM
I've pretty much only heard horror stories about them, and how they don't ship out their products for months and whatnot.

I've been considering getting an ASIC miner and I was wondering if they've cleaned up their act and are now a legitimate business now, or if they're still terrible. I'm also nervous about buying something with bitcoin, knowing I can't get a refund, off of a company with a very suspicious background that is notorious for not shipping out their products. Should I just avoid butterfly labs?

Thanks guys.

Hi,

I have 2 jalepenos from BFL. Waited about 9 months till delivery. They deliver thats for sure, they even have some on stock that ship right away. You can safely order but keep in mind that it can take a while before you mine!
