Ceo was a convicted felon for fraud.
There's no way he'll deliver.

that's why I think is important to always stay with one type of coin.
others are scams...

BFL have delivered FPGAs in the past. They also have some kind of a trade-in program. We'll see.

The main issue, for me atleast, is the overriding question as to why they don't just run their products themselves? Surely their cost of capital is not so high that they can't finance construction without customer deposits and capture a nice spread as their mining produces fantastic returns?

You could use same logic with Avalon, and they have shipped. Hardware companies make hardware. |

Constant pushing up delivery date = don't know what we're doing. They may legitimately wish to sell asics but they don't know how to engineer them as evident by weekly updates stating there some new problem with the chip or the board they didn't anticipate.

So glad I saw this thread, I was looking to invest in one of these - Looks like I'll go back to saving up for the hardware myself and building a better rig. Just need to save, which will take time...  |

Confirmed:
butterfly labs is a scam. They have no real product, and I'm quite sure they have no intention of developing one.

confirmed huh? Sounds like a troll to me. They shipped 2 of their 5GH units to beta testers. They are not a "scam". Now, whether or not you'll be able to break even. That's yet to be seen. If they ship all the units people have ordered the hash rate will grow so much (the difficulty will rise so much) that you won't me able to mine much more with a 50GH unit than you can today with a decent video card. |

They're beta testing a 5Gh/s unit that consumes 30w six months after they were supposed to ship their 4.5Gh/s unit that consumes 4.5w to investors. That sure sounds like a scam to me and those are the lucky investors. If you ordered a $30,000 minirig SC in June of 2012...well tough luck buddy. |
