not exactly 400 ...

http://ow.ly/i/2LIWm



I see ~120 priority boxes taped up and sitting on a dock. BFL could've easily taken a pic every single day since July 4, 2012, Full Production Day, depicting 100-400 boxes on the dock. Do they not realize how far showing such images would have carried them? They wouldn't even need to pay out one satoshi for advertising to garner more sales if they did such unless, of course, this was their biggest day ever in shipping, and Jody snapped that pic prior to having to change her underwear.

... 900 units a day ...

quote BFL_Office:

The setup has a conservative capacity of 300 units per 8 hour shift or 900 units in a 24 hour day.

13 January 2013
"We have all of our parts needed to build the units in stock, with the exception of the chips. We have taken delivery of all of our Chinese made components at this time and they are filling up our warehouse and the assembly plant warehouse. Our fab is not located in China and our chips will be done before CNY in any event. Our packaging plant is located in California and obviously not affected by CNY, our assembly house is located in the US and thus also not affected."

Minirigs take much more time to build than the other product lines, so they will take longer to deliver. However, without actually going through a bulk assembly process, we aren't sure what the major bottle necks will be. We can do estimates and we have strived for simplicity in everything related to the SC line. To that end, it requires 4 screws per Jalapeno and 6 screws per Single. Assembly of these units should take less than 5 minutes (probably around 3 minutes) per unit, so working through our pre-order backlog should be very quick. It will take more time to box and label them than it will to assemble them. The March ship date is a worst case scenario and it's entirely possible you would get your unit much sooner than that.

Josh just announced that all pre-orders will be shipped out within 29 days.


If true, definitivelly best news today.
Lol, do you think  Phinnaeus Gage is a teller of truth?


Well Phinnaeus (I think) got that info from a post where Josh said he expected the backlog to be cleared by the end of August or something like that.

EDIT: He says it here: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/pre-sales-questions/3611-buttefly-company-still-work-not-3.html#post44788

From Josh:

Yes, I still expect us to be through the back orders by the end of August.

BFL delivery estimates are a moving target so it's not surprising you might have missed this one.  This update moving the target again appears to have been penned about 5 days after he wrote the one about clearing the back log by end of August.  I would expect sometime in the next couple of weeks we will hear how it will be end of October and so on (until the house of cards comes tumbling down!).

I did talk to suppliers and ran some calculations. With the current order book up to today, I expect it to be filled by the end of September. I'm not sure what order number we'll get up to by the end of August, but we'll be pretty far into it by then. I'll probably have a better idea by the middle of this month.




Captain Vague, how soon can you get here to save us from Dr. Doom?

I'm not sure exactly where I am now, but if I'm nearby, expect soon, otherwise probably not as quickly as you would like me to be there to save you all. I'll probably have a better estimate... Damnit! I just wrecked my quadcopter. Honestly, saving you monumental assholes is the the least of my worries.

I got my units, FPGAs and ASICs. Took a fucking long time for both, but I got them. They're not scammers in my eyes, jut inept.

PG, your ridiculous crusade against BFL is getting tiresome, and well, embarrassing.
Who are you trying to save?

Obviously, I'm not trying to save those who receive their product. In fact, I'm no longer in the saving anybody game.

This outfit has done everything possible, sans delivering a few units, to prove themselves running a long con. As accomplished as they claimed to be, they should have had no problem getting in front of every single issue that arose, yet early on they opted to play the tough guy as soon as they got financially ahead of the game, then bringing on Josh to play asshole to a host of bitcoiners, eventually referrer to them as monumental assholes.

If a spokesperson makes a statement that such-and-such is a fact, then it's quickly proven that it's a lie, and about 8+ months of repeated requests to address the concerns to no prevail of a very, very simple matter, you have to ask yourself if they lie about something so utterly mundane, what the fuck else are they capable of lying about?

Just in case you're wondering what simple question I'm in reference to...

When is the Jalapeno getting FCC approval?

Maybe two weeks? We are waiting for the test lab to issue the test report.

With the bump in power requirements on the MR and the new screen, we had to make changes, although the new screen is already certified.  We are doing all the devices at once, since they all share the same board.


Now, try it yourself and see if you get the same response I, among others, have been getting--crickets.

Make sure you ask the question as simply as possible.

Like such:

Josh, what's the latest with the FCC certification?

As of yesterday, BF Labs Inc., et al. has yet to even submit a single submission to the FCC, for if they had, it would have shown up, even if they did such this pass Monday.

The issue is not whether BFL's miners need FCC certification or not. The issue is that BFL lied about submitting their miners (plural!) to the FCC, then opted to never reply to a single request as to what's the latest.

Their latest lie consist of claiming to be in full production, to the point that Jody creamed her pants expressing how they had such a productive day the other day, the first time she's done such since July 4, 2013, Full Production Day. In a press release it was stated that BFL is producing 300 units a day, yet not one iota of proof has been presented to show that they are even producing half that amount.

Josh stated, more than once, that BFL's warehouse was full of parts and all they were waiting on were chips. Yet, now they have a PSU shortage. I managed three restaurants, and not once during my tenure did any one of them ever run out of stock, and I did such without overstocker or effecting the food cost due to theft, spoilage, etc. And, the people working under me were not even 1/10 as smart as Josh, for I truly believe he is a bright guy, but we're not takin' brightness here.

Sonny is a very bright guy, as well as Jody being a bright woman. But probably so was Tom Williams, Thredon Shavers, Bernie Madoff, et al. But I digress.

My bad! I wasn't aware that the alphabet ended at 1Q on the blockchain: https://blockchain.info/address/1Hz8MDxpgS9QNxQf7BBr3b4ee5HjGhXFa1

Hello Phinnaeus, you seem to have some sort of issue.
It is commonly seen as a constructive thing to clearly express a problem in order to find a solution.
The faggotry of suggesting statistical anomalies without backing them up with numbers, stalking me on the blockchain, and generally loitering around while giving us the evil look never achieved anything for anyone.

You seem angry, do something about it.


I actually don't have many theories, but do have multiple simultaneous hypothesis for almost everything.  Again, in the case of Bitcoin-Central, it is at this point completely possible that Boussac-n-co cleaned up to the tune of millions of USD by 'borrowing' our funds while the value fell by half or so.  As always I welcome any solid information which can either lend strength or argue against this hypothesis.  So far Bitcoin-Central has not seen fit to produce much by way of verifiable information, but things are still in flux to it is currently understandable.

How do I put this... You've been paid, in full. Yet you keep questioning us, making half-assed theories without ever accusing us directly. You don't need to be a frenchman to see how that's extremely rude and inconsiderate. You also seem to expect us to provide you with some sort of additionnal information, I'm unsure about what makes you feel entitled to such a thing.

You have every right to be paranoid, but this is not the place for it.
If you are happy about the way we handled things feel free to express it here.
If you're unhappy about it, or have complaints, express them here, or privately, whichever you prefer.
If you have questions feel free, if you have suggestions, feel free.
Now, if you have conspiracy theories either go make a proper scam accusations thread, or go make a my-conspiracy-theories one and see what happens.

TL;DR : Please take your rude and off-topic bullshit elsewhere (and that one's for you too Phinnaeus).

I was not stalking you on Blockchain. I repeat, I WAS NOT STALKING YOU ON BLOCKCHAIN. I found the address via a link that Boussac provided. I just read down the list and stumbled upon the name Davout of which I even had to make sure it was the correct spelling of your name and that I wasn't just reading a random string of letters incorrectly. After I confirmed that it was indeed your name, I did then look at your other transactions, of which if there was anything inappropriate going on, I don't think you would have used said address, thus nothing to see there (I don't believe).

I now do find it odd that you're using a rather defensive tone. In France, are they not familiar with the sugar/vinegar analogy?

Mr Phinnaeus Gage,
Every time I see your avatar I get a chuckle. I think the red highlights how overheated your frontal lobe gets, constantly obsessing about BFL and associated characters.
I sure hope your condition is not impairing you in other aspects of your life.

Thank you for your concern. It's not, with the exception of spending less time on MFC.

You do realize that my "constantly obsessing about BFL" has yet to equal all that Josh posted sticking it up naysayers' asses, hence taking my doctor's advice and created a goal in life: Stick it up Josh's ass and see how it likes it. The only flaw I now see in this endeavor was failing to see that Josh likes it.

Sonny Vleisides, on the other hand, won't ever return here to address a single issue because...wait for it...he's a pussy!

"Sales are final" does not apply unless there was an actual sale taking place. If you have not received your unit, there was no sale - only a (pre)order.

Good luck!  I was able to get my refund for an order for two 50GHs units purchased in April and two 10 GHs upgrades purchased in June.   Going to BFL for the refund was denied.   Going though Paypal for the April unit was closed since it was too old but the upgrades did get refunded by opening a case with Paypal.   

I called my credit card company (AMEX) to dispute the 2 units.  They opened the dispute with Paypal and then Paypal provided the refund.

Hope things work out for you!


Even through the hell this guy had to obtain a simple little refund, he still had the compassion to wish BFL good tidings. That's a class act in my book.

To follow his lead I, too, hope things work out for you as you bleed through your funds in the form of refunds.

Remember folks, nobody moves up in queue position when the last one in is the one no longer awaiting BFL's Magically -ROI Black Box.

Jalapenos still shipping Nov 14, 2012 pay date

Little Singles shipping June 25, 2012 pay date

Singles June 24-26 pay dates (no orders from June 23 shipped)

MiniRigs from June 23 shipped.

Today was a very good day at BFL. A lot of units built, tested and shipped. Thanks to the person who said they got tracking numbers. Most of the people we ship to don't post on this forum because if they did we would be seeing many posts about getting tracking numbers. Really, if this blog makes you so angry, why read it? Reading my boring blog is not going to make your order ship faster.

Address Change Specialist is not their titles. It's just that I have a couple of guys working for me that are very good and careful with address changes. We never said we would not change your address--that was a competitor who said that. We only said we are not shipping to someone else if you sell the item.

For the above red text to make any sense, they would have had to assembled, tested and shipped over 3-400 units on this date, for since July 4, 2013, that's the volume they've already proclaimed.

My guess is about 100, 200 tops, and this makes Jody jump up and down. I can only imagine two dozen people staring through the window separating Jody's desk and the warehouse, as they watch in amazement the process.

Now, I'm going to read the 136 comments on Jody's post to see how right I am.

We are standardizing a lot of our equipment, so we can keep massive quantities of inventory on hand (at least 6 months of production work is the goal), allowing us to crank out units - literally - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if need be.  We've hired more personnel and will be hiring yet more people as we gear up.

Hell no! They couldn't even secure a contract to manufacture a common washer even if they were the lowest bidder. You think our government is stupid?

I'm also sure there was a bit of sarcasm in there since he seems to dislike BFL from what I've read!

Sarcasm or not, 1 month for delivery sounds good after so much wait

Since PSUs no longer need to be shipped with the miners, that accelerates the process several fold, coupled with the packages now weigh less putting more moneys in BFL's coffer until their coffin is nailed shut.

A whole new era begins after the end of August. BFL's Gen3 miners will be faster, cheaper, consume less power, look sexier, and will be delivered on time since...

Indeed, the bottom line is we are working to improve customer service and our shipping times.  We just shipped orders from the first of August, so we are getting caught up there.  I have been working hard on the customer service issue as well as the shipping issues.  We are also working very hard on getting the ASICs out the door on time.  We are really beefing up our production capacity and moving everything we can in house.  We've purchased a pick and place machine, an oven, stenciler and other equipment to manufacture all the boards in house.  This means we can produce as many boards as we need without being at the mercy of board manufacturers and their timing/runs. 

Our ASIC chip is 100% original IP and we will have as many chips as we need, when we need them.  We are standardizing a lot of our equipment, so we can keep massive quantities of inventory on hand (at least 6 months of production work is the goal), allowing us to crank out units - literally - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if need be.  We've hired more personnel and will be hiring yet more people as we gear up.   

The ASIC generation is going to be much less complex, as well, so there will be less steps to creating a fully functional end unit, and we will also be able to assemble/produce the much faster.  Everything you know about BFL is changing now and will continue to change.  The only thing I can do is assure you we understand the concerns and we are doing everything we can to address the past mistakes.
