when do you think they will start shipping?

didn't you hear the latest?

You should probably check out the BFL forums.

Shipping will happen sometime within the next week. I give them to the end of the month to be safe.

Surely you jest good sir, this is none other than BFL we're talking about. The end of the year certainly sounds safer given the circumstances.   

^I agree,the updates certainly are helpful but as mentioned until someone actually receives and mentions they have the their hardware in hand I treat everything else as vaporware before even trusting any with my BTC or money.

I have been keeping things updated weekly if you want to save yourself from having to read through all the BS.

But yes most timelines are speculation. BFL doesn't even know the exact date they will ship.

I still haven't seen any updates on what's happening at the bumping facility or how a slip in the bumping facility schedule would affect the remaining steps in getting BFL ASICs completed.  I suspect that there's no hope now of them shipping on 22 February - the question is whether they'll be able to ship before March.

March? LoL. Maybe by May-June. Everything they say is about 300% longer, so "next month" means "maybe in 3 months" because they havent even made prototypes yet, let alone production units.

Forget an exact date, they're out by 4 months on what was supposed to be a 4 month wait. They delayed it into the next YEAR.

Going off all ive read, mid to late march is my guess.

I seriously doubt it. Their current lie rosy picture leads one to believe that when the 6000 5000 chips finally leave the bumping facility that they'll have working products shipped within a couple weeks, but that's not at all realistic even for a company staffed with competent labor.

You can bet on it!

4-6 weeks

Butterfly Labs doesn't actually exist anymore, Kanoi was forced to enter an empty room that consisted only of a greenscreen during his recent "visit"... the miner is a lie...

No, it was a matrix head plugged, virtual reality.
I can still feel the metal socket on the back of my head :P

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Just because I don't bet on those stupid yes/no sites doesn't mean I haven't put my money where my mouth is.

I think you may actually be right.They have actual pics of their boards now....but I would still be concerned about availability.I actually think they might have more BFL products in the wild than Avalon's in the next two months.

BFL already has more product in the wild from their FPGA line, so we know they were legit at some point, but looking at their ASICs, they haven't show a single hash anywhere, they're already 4 months behind schedule, and yet they're STILL pushing and advertising them like they can't get rid of them fast enough. I'd be surprised if even a dozen customers have BFL ASICs two months from now.  :-\

This is the only reliable answer, based on past experience. BFL ASICs are always only 4-6 weeks away.

If I get mine in April/May I will be happy. June/July, ITS PROBLEM.

It's just a tactic to make higher profits. A % of customers will have died of natural causes before they receive a unit. Have to wait and see how many singles never get sent in for upgrades to get the exact customer fatality rate.

Which means it is in BFL's best interest to make products that emit deadly exhaust fumes. Which explains their obsession with fans.

i said  since 2012 nove december no ssooner then march

and i was dam right

best case scenario last few days of march but most likely april

and those would be the orders  from june 23 to about july 10 in 2012

second batch  about 1 month later  july10 to august 15  2012

3rd batch glut  start shipping in jully august   

those who place orders now wont get delivery before crhistmas

Except that ... in the beginning of October you said ASIC would be here in 30 days and there are currently no posts by you made in November or December or January or February ...

My posts are quite simply ... "that's how it is."

Your posts are quite simply ... "OMFG LULZ BBQ I'M A MORON"

I guess my short blog about my BFL visit was beyond you're infants school reading level ...

u know wat was hillarious about ur visit

u was there to right a few code lines for them

but ofcourse no asics could be found in sight:)

so u jsut improved there old junk

bfl team was a deceitfull fully on liers and scam artist when almost a year later  they dont have asics
even for testing

it was deceit from the begining and u know it
