I understand that a lot of people are angry because BFL has continually missed their deadlines, but I think this is more caused by incompetence rather than actual malice. Their project management skills are lackluster at best, but I'm not ready to call it a scam yet.
Meh, I pre-ordered 2 jalapenos about a month ago. So I'm not really that invested in the whole operation. If the whole thing is a total loss then I won't lose any sleep over it.
I mined bitcoins back in 2010-2011. After I mined casually for about a year I amassed about 10 bitcoins, which at the time was about $20.
