Quote from: ice_chill on May 16, 2012, 10:41:51 PM To above post, i understand you, I used to be self-employed earning $2k per week building and selling all types of PCs. But the economy is completely different to what it was 4 years ago. I was just saying regarding gigavps post that reinvesting money that you made off mining into more mining equipment is much much easier then investing money that you earned from active jobs (I see mining as a passive job) Why save up from your job for it? The rig box (2 mini rigs) I ordered in March is 100% funded by a loan. It's a risk either way, but I figure that I'll get it faster this way. If I can afford to save up for it, I can afford to make loan payments if BTC goes south.

No, I won't argue with him, as Inaba's doing a fine job, and it's hilarious. As troll's do, mem will try to pull me in, though.

Quote from: Paladin69 on May 07, 2012, 08:25:01 PM Ordered = 5/3/2012 Qty = 1 Any chance I'll see this by July? Sonny didn't give you an estimate when you ordered? If it's still the same 12-15 (I'd assume 15) week timeframe he gave me, that'd put yours somewhere between July 30th and August 20th.

Quote from: Epoch on May 03, 2012, 03:22:23 PM I'll have to snip the leads to the bottom fan For simplicity in testing, I'd recommend just taping down the fan blade to keep it from spinning, or another low-tech method of restriction (a piece of chewed gum?). If you get some thermal throttling, it's easy to make it spin again.

Quote from: Andrey on April 26, 2012, 03:21:21 PM I asked them about problems shipping to my country, cause they asked to "please" contact us on this question. No reply after weeks. Very impolite and discouraging. They've always been very responsive with me. Maybe try calling them instead. A VoIP service would avoid the international rates. http://www.butterflylabs.com/contact - bottom-right shows their phone number.

So I decided to give it some real cooling. lol, nice! Is that an 8000 rpm fan? What model is it? It's a Delta TSB series fan from an old server power supply. Probably about 5K RPM. Maybe try this next. http://www.newark.com/sanyo-denki/9cr1212g002/counter-rotating-axial-fan/dp/96M1717 with an adapter to fit the 120mm fan in place http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811996022

Quote from: bombo999 on April 20, 2012, 10:40:06 PM if true, that is definitely a red flag of concern I disagree. There's enough business risk without them having to worry about getting a half million dollars worth of orders cancelled because the bitcoin market tanks. Particularly when they probably don't have the funds to cover such a loss.

Quote from: wogaut on April 20, 2012, 06:26:10 PM (and I reserve the right to cancel my rig-box order then). Unlike the singles, when I ordered my rig box, Sonny said that due to a majority of the funds going into the production, order cancellations are not allowed.

Quote from: gigavps on April 17, 2012, 09:23:56 AM Quote from: ChiangYay on April 17, 2012, 08:45:17 AM So how it's possible that you will get it next month? I ordered 2 rig boxes two months ago. 2 rig boxes turned into 4 mini rig boxes. Mystery solved. Similar to gigavps, I ordered one rig box, now two mini-rigs, a little over a month ago. The last time I asked, Sonny said it should ship end of June.

Quote from: MXRider on April 19, 2012, 05:35:10 PM Is there anything else one can do with Single or MiniRig than mine bitcoins. Just wondering what kind of "insurance" I have if BTC crashes. Before I ordered my Rig Box (now two Mini-Rigs), Sonny told me (just a paraphrase from memory) that I shouldn't consider the value of the hardware for other uses in any part of my decision on whether to make a purchase, as there is currently no other use for them. However, he also said that if BTC did crash and become worthless, they would probably release their development toolkit so their customers could attempt to recover something on the hardware investment.

I have doubt about trusting these people now. North American banks don't use IBAN numbers. At least for mine, you concat the institution number, transit number and account number together, not necessarily in that order. That's not a BFL think, it's just an issue sending wires between Europe and NA. They should know what a SWIFT number is though, although that is sometimes labeled differently here. My bank calls the SWIFT number the BIC. ^ This. NA Banks don't use IBAN/SWIFT, they use a Clearing Code and/or Fedwire/ABA code. They do use SWIFT codes ! Here the information i got from Sonny: Bank name: XXX Bank address: XXX Swift: XXX ABA / Routing: XXX Account Name: XXX Account Number: XXX Account Address: XXX If you call that lousy you have no idea ! Edit: Account information removed on request of BFL I received the same bank information as Turbor right before I wired $30k to BFL on March 13th, the receipt of which Sonny confirmed on March 14th. Although I didn't need the SWIFT code, they did provide it to me. ice_chill's claim that BFL says they don't know their bank's SWIFT number is a lie. It wasn't a lie, I have received a follow up email from another person from their company with the SWIFT code, the first person that sent the email did not know it. Then you should've edited your post. My apologies.
