Hi,


As is common in the mining industry, new products replace older ones very frequently.


The SP10 is an excellent unit and we are now replacing it with the even better SP30.


The SP30 is similar to the SP10 in many ways but will deliver a lot more hashing power with amazing efficiency.


Featuring 6TH/s with power consumption of only 0.46W/GH/s!


The number of units is limited and we can't guarantee how long they will be available for.


Put an order now to secure shipment in September:

I just want to explain my situation and the one of many MANY other customers of BFL at the moment. Just to put you guys in context, BFL is developping it's monarch miner which is a 24nm ASIC that was supposed to start shipping on April 2014 (that's the first estimation/lie they told).

Then came 2 other delays that wasn't expected by anyone so now everybody are asking for refunds. What's BFL answer to that? They start deleting all "negative" post concerning anything about refunds, compensations or any other question people have on when will they actually ship their miner for real.

They really REALLY are a shady company that doesn't respect their customers at all so I greatly advise you to never ever EVER buy ANYTHING from those guys. There are actually many complaint that the don't respect the legal rules of refunding their customers, it's all on many posts on their forum where many customers are in a bit of panic mode. I'm one of those since KnC released that article today https://forums.butterflylabs.com/redirect-to/?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kncminer.com%2Fnews%2Fnews-94.

Which means BFL is nothing a game player anymore and the way the disrespect their customers, they will go bankrupt for sure, so again DON'T BUY anything form them. Just go with the sure shot and real leader in the industry KnC miners.

If you're waiting for your monarch or refund too please comment, people need to know how weird BFL's behavior is at the moment. They really look like they are gonna scam us all with all the BS that comes out of their mouths.

Probably already mentioned....

STARTS???

They have for the most part muted any complaints or open discussion almost from day one on their forums. And continue to shout down anyone that tries to tell the facts as they are. Welcome Neo to reality.

Are people still pre-ordering Monarch's? Their only product that made me some kind of profit was the FPGA singles.

THIS is the reason you post about to not order from them?   

Nope, the main reason I started this is because they lied 2 times about when the shipping starts for the monarchs and I'm not an earlier preordered so I'm guessing people got lied to a bunch of time. I've been waiting for also 6 months now but some have for more than a year. I could be alright with that if they would compensate for the additionnal delay, like any good and respectable company would do, the trouble is they don't do that with the "lastest" preorderers.

BFL had a couple of compensations offered for those who were waiting the longest a couple of months ago. First compensation was "double hashrate", which came with a "no refund for a year and a half if you accept" clause, which some users on the forum were starting to debate if its really legal to do that. They'll probably get banned soon enough. Now the biggest joke I heard from a guy that preordered just a couple of weeks or maybe a month or 2 before me was... "They offered my a 50% off coupon on a 600GH monarch has a compensation!" LOL. Of course the guy was in rage, what kind of compensation is that?!? Give us more money so you might have another of those miner we have been delaying for months and that will be worthless when we ship them!
