one can only imagine what "out of stock" means for virtual product line designed to mine a virtual currency.

It means "we are going to mine the fuck out of BTC" then when the price starts going down we will have stock. lol

_{cryptotulipical = exponential & beyond}

Nah, I think it means, "We can't build this, and don't even know what to tell our customers who have already ordered one."

OR THIS ^ lol

I haven't paid attention the BFL situation lately. Do they still have no shipped units?

Pretty hilarious if so.

Ofc they have shipped a contractor to themselves and pointed at a device on desk and said that is yours. ;D

I heard BFL will stop their procrastination and begin shipping..... in 2 weeks, from next week. But that doesnt happen until they announce a statement saying their shipments are coming out in a few weeks which will be 3 months from now. First come delivery's will be of residents that work in the same factory as BFL. Currently delivery ETA is 9/12/17 when difficulty is 20kkk.

So doing some simple math;

Waits till 9/12/17
Receives shipment
? ? ? ? ?
Fucked

Seems legit.

Sorry my Unicorns have exceptionally deep pockets and bought them all out.

lulz

Iv'e never mined before, or had much to do with it. But it really seems like BFL is running more or less a complete joke of a business. Shame!

And what about the dude who was supposed to go to BFL HQ in Kansas City couple of months ago or so? It would have been the end of rumors and spread the news about being screwed or not, right?

I'd be mega pissed if I ordered BFL units, every day that ticks by I'd just stare at exchanges and say oh hey I could've made a couple hundred bucks in bitcoins today...if they shipped LOL.

Out of stock means "we realised that it's impossible to make them".

They just want to make sure the equipment works first.

Don't worry, when yours arrives in the mail, it'll only be slightly used.

that is the only test running lab that earns the company more then the product itself. first time in history. epic.

Should have read "Never was in stock"

Can anybody confirm to me if they really have received $ 100 million worth of money in preorders?

If buyers really invested a total of $100 million for ASIC Super Computers and they really do exist / get shipped, then GPU miners won't ever get anymore BTC lolz

Every ASIC box at BFL is out of stock.  They have yet to ship any ASIC to end users.

When BFL was taking preorders the price of a bitcoin was well under $10.  The price of mining hardware was based on that price.  Now it's 18 times that.  Must make it damn tempting to just mine yourself and not deliver.

At least they are being honest.
"out of stock", because there never were any in stock.

They received I think $2 million in bitcoin at the time. So. Work that out. Thank god I never paid for my preorder. THANK THE LORD.

BFL didn't receive any bitcoin, at least not initially. They used bitinstant, and received cash. I assume they continued to use bitinstant, but don't know for sure.  

Edit: Sorry, meant bitpay, not bitinstant.

What seems to be the main factor of importance in this whole BFL debacle is whether they are still honoring refunds.  When they stop honoring refunds, then it's time to WHISPER scam...
