that could have been done weeks ago... it wasn't. Nobody wants to assemble something that will never function, and we've been waiting for this... I'd bet on it. It's an obvious teaser! I'm stoked!

The new.pics have the heatsinks mounted, which means the chips are under them. a 1/4 mounted alterra fpga would most likely damage the board if you tried to mount those heatsinks to them, so I'm saying, the real chips must be in, and in those pics.
And what would happen if the heatsinks were mounted on board without any chips? |

Is the 100 days up? Who has received their bulk chips?

I traded one Bitcoin three weeks ago and initiated a international money transferred to my bank in the US I have not seen hide nor hair of it
3 weeks? The withdrawl queue is nearly 3 months deep by now. |

You have to consider that we won't be taking orders forever, once we run into a determined quantity of orders (paid + reservation) that we know we can't handle anymore with the promised delivery terms, any new order won't be accepted anymore and only people in the reservation queue will be able to pay and get their units delivered. Hope this explains a bit  Ok, I think I understand the confusion. The reservation queue isn't a queue at all. It's a reservation pool beause the order you are in the reservation queue doesn't matter one bit. The only thing that matters is order of full payment. |

I'm sorry, I can't make sense of what the reservation queue actually does. Answer me this: On Oct 1, customer A places an unpaid reservation order. On Nov 1, customer B places a paid order 1 minute later customer A pays for his reservation. What order do the units ship in? |

You are already protected by our Customer Protection Plan and, if you don't want to pay anything upfront, you can still place an order on the reservation queue where no payment is required at all (just few days before the shipping of your order).
Then can you explain these details? Please note, however, that the reservation queue does NOT guarantee that you will be able to enter the shipping queue at all, as the item may be sold out earlier.
What good is a queue that has no guarantee you'll be shipped anything? |

Are you going to accept any payment methods that have consumer protections?

"TL;DR" It's ok if BFL lies because some other people in the world lie too.

You have proof it was outright lying and not a relay of information passed to them from their suppliers?
Sure, dozens of quotes. Here's the latest: http://www.butterflylabs.com/monarch/Tape out August 2013
When they posted it, it may not have been an intentional lie (I suspect it was, but I can't prove that). But now that we're into the 2nd week of September they leave it there hoping to deceive customers into thinking they're making better progress than they are. So now it's simply a lie. |
|
|
|
According to all of you they are a long con, out to fleece us all and run with the money.
What do you call lying every step of the way? |

Dear Techkojj,
To address your concern, production of jalapenos have not been halted, and we have been producing them at very high-speed since the beginning (as it's easier to assemble).
Friday, Sept 6, 2013 Shipping Update ... no Jallys shipped today
Thursday, Sept 5, 2013 Shipping Update ... no Jallys shipped today
Wednesday, September 4, 2013 Shipping Update ... no Jallys shipped today
Tuesday, September 3, 2013 Shipping Update ... very few shipped
Holiday - nothing shipped
Nasser, perhaps you should stick to things you do know about, like what the weather was like in France this week. |

Of course, test it. But you're looking at maybe 40 watts, tops. It's not going to take much air movement to cool it.

A small heat sink and a single fan in front should be plenty. The Bitfury chips don't create a lot of heat.

Personally I see nothing wrong in the 'all sales final'.
Which is fine, once a sale has been completed. But until the item is shipped, no "sale" has occured. The FTC requires BFL to notify customers of delays and offer full refunds. BFL is violating FTC regulations. Why the customer wants a refund is irrelevent. My daughter works at a steel mill in Pittsburgh and anyone ordering has to pay up front a non refundable deposit. The chip foundries are the same way, you have to pay up front since you are ordering a specialty item that there is only a niche market for. If Yifu indeed refunded everyone the amount they sent for their chips, then he is out the cost of those chips he paid the founcry and it remains to be seen if he can get them in time for them to still remain profitable.
The difference being BFL units are exactly the same from order to order. These are not custom products. Every Jalapeno is exactly the same as every other one. |

Curious how you yet again ignore 90% of the post to fixate on minutae.
LOL. Being 10 months late on delivery isn't minutae. It is the core failure of BFL to uphold their side of the "sale". I've already shown what would have happened with no delays and only 1 full mini-rig a day shipping. With BTC at $12 in Dec, NO ONE other than Day 1 purchasers would have made RoI. The WHY is the customers over-ordering without considering the consequences.
Go ahead and bleat again about BTC to $100+ and all the other hindsight garbage that probably would not have come true due to the changing circumstance.
All irrelevent. Exchange rate doesn't matter. Difficulty doesn't matter. BFL failed to perform, and customers are well within their rights to request refunds. It doesn't matter why they want a refund. BFL failed. |

Maybe you need to ask WHY won't they make RoI?
Curious, you left out the key factor. October Delays. November Delays. December Delays. January Delays. February Delays. March Delays. April Delays. May Delays. June Delays. July Delays. August Delays. September Delays. More than 10 months after first scheduled delivery date and they still haven't finished shipping day 1 orders! |
