Hmm, case hasn't been overturned....and it has been 15 days.
I am guessing they were out of luck in getting it overturned. Who will be the next successful litigant?
Yes... not overturned? Hmm... guess that internet law degree didn't pan out for Josh either? |

here is a video i found, donno if it was posted on the fourms yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd-GbG2WmW0shows the monarch ( lolsure ) and a new hardware based wallet It shows 480 btc on it, wonder if that real, i remember seeing someone on the forums who sued them and won, and now in-process of finding there assets, mabye help? Those boards they show are no further along in design/production as the ones they showed when they first announced the board. There are no traces on those boards, they are just pieces of green fiberglass with non-working components glued to them. Pretty slick. They can make it look like they have a "prototype", when in fact it could simply be a bunch of random electronic components that have nothing to do with bitcoin mining cards. If you are about to buy this DO NOT. If you bought knowing the history of BFL you deserve to lose heavily on that investment. April / May now is more likely on these if not Q3 or Q4 given how the last pre-orders went. Insanity. |

lol yes you are correct, I don't have any chips, hence why I said "hypothetically". I was literally just curious as I know nothing about it. Thanks for the replies though  Wasp Hive Designs for A1, Bitmain and BitFury will be open source hardware so you could hypothetically build your own. There are also a few other ASIC miner open source designs out in the public already, typically though they are single chip specific, so if you had the chips that match the design you could be building in as little as a week or two if you had a good fabricator and parts were readily available. |

I received this ASIC miner roughly a month ago, and it stopped working already it seems. Am I stumped? How should I proceed to get it replaced/refunded/whatever. It was one of these. https://products.butterflylabs.com/h...oin-miner.htmlI also ordered a 600 GH/s card, but given that this one failed so fast I don't feel so sure anymore if these things are reliable. Question for the other users: have yours been working fine? Maybe mine was an outlier. 12-28-2013, 08:57 AM #2
SLok
There will always be DOA or units going bad over time, there is an RMA request function in your BFL account. What is your unit doing, powering off? Fast blinking leds? Nothing at all? If possible try another power source first.
Get the feeling the standard response is try a different PSU wonder why? And there will always be DOA and units going bad over time? How many that is the real question. Huh, how weird. It seems to still work when I use it through Easy Miner instead of cgminer. Maybe it had some driver problems mid-mining?
I checked the received hashrate by the mining pool and it seems to be receiving shares just fine so... all's good now.
EDIT: Also, it wasn't powering off or doing anything, it still had that red light around the power connector and made that whirring fanny noise like it always did. Lucky for this customer no?

https://forums.butterflylabs.com/post-sales-customer-service/7452-jalapenos-running-hot-high-gh-high-error-rate.htmlJalapeno's Running Hot, High GH & High Error Rate
Hi All,
I ordered 4 Jalepeno's in the Black Friday sale and had those delivered to the UK yesterday.
Upon plugging them into my hub and firing up Minepeon, I noticed that 3 of the 4 miners were running between 8 and 10gh (I initially thought, great, i never payed for any upgrade...). Of these three, one was hitting temps of 85c (!), one was hitting 70c and the 3rd was running around 50c.
The 4th Jale was running between 5 and 6gh, temps around 40c.
Having left them to mine for a few minutes, i was expecting to see the GH drop but it didn't... instead i was seeing a high number of error's (there were sometimes more 'errors' on the 3 fast jale's than the number 'accepted').
With this in mind, i decided to open the 3 hot Jale's in order to increase air flow... indeed the temps dropped but they still had a high number of errors.
My next thought was maybe minepeon isn't good enough... I then moved the devices on to my PC, loaded bfgminer and experienced the exact same thing!
Attachment 2663
Any advice would be much appreciated, having waited so long to receive these it would be a shame to RMA! Shall i even be concerned by the Accepted:Error ratio?

Refund offer from Jan 2014 newsletter is not true, by my experience.
My story goes...
- Ordered Nov 27, paid 28, 50GH boxes @ $2,499 advertised as IN STOCK, SHIPPING IMMEDIATELY!!!
- Followed instructions for payment and emailing office@ with the wire info.
- No email from BFL.
- Missed Black Friday sale, damn.
- More than two weeks later funds confirmed received. I log on everyday to BFL account, that was the only reason I knew of the status change.
- No email from BFL.
- Price drops, grrr. Not a happy Christmas.
- Another two weeks go by then status to processing.
- No email from BFL.
- Price drops, F-me.
- Not a happy new year.
- Jan 2014 newsletter allowing request for refund on 65nm orders that haven't shipped. I emailed office@ right away requesting for refund. PM BFL_Emily the same request. Glimmer of hope. Who would want their $2,499 boxes when they're worth $984 now? Not me.
- Today, I checked my BFL account and its marked as Completed. Ready for pickup via Fedex
- No email from BFL
More hurt…
- I requested USPS for shipping because they won't have brokerage fees or much less than Fedex, items being shipped to Canada.
- I will have to pay sales tax since its being shipped to Canada, by all indication, the invoice will show $2,499 instead of the current $984 price, so I'll end up paying more tax.
- Difficulty level rose 1 or twice already, loss of BTC mining income.

It is a ball of smoke. It might go up in a ball of smoke. FTFY. |

Like the Purple board... The Grover?  Single chip board... neat. Cooling top and bottom so two heat sinks sandwiching the board? |

Now are the chips under that "waterblock" dumby (urban dictionary sp.) or real? Still no word on the pending slice and bump etc nor mention of a test. This is going to be months of no to little information and delays just like last time. If after this incarnation people continue to promote BFL then it really is a matter of paid sponsoring on an order never been seen in this community.
March... I am guessing May if you are "first" in line.

PFFt you didn't buy chips did you? Did you? Same shell game. Quite a few good people are still basically screwed over from what Avalon pulled with the chip buy we all know that as the truth. BFL AVALON now HF? Man I really can't wait for a company that doesn't pull the BTC switcheroo on people.

I can't see the image the above user posted, but I'm guessing it's some sort of reference to the sexual preferences and proclivities of HashFast employees. I could be wrong though.
LOL! -------------- I sure hope they do not go all BFLAVALON style on those asking for legit refunds. I can't imagine if they are serious about developing this business longer term they would make that mistake. Are they not shipping anything yet? |
