Things are getting rather exciting  I bet you are looking forward to holding that parcel with your Jalapeño or single "sc" in it.. So what's the latest on the hardware shipping dates? Will BFL make it happen this time, or is it all gonna be delayed to next year?? |

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

2-3 weeks until hardware is shipped out that has yet to provide proof of a working device. Seems like that isn't enough time to go from board prototype to shipment.

Just saw this posted in another thread... We are not going to be shipping the first week of November, I can definitely say that. We are waiting on the bulk chips from the foundry, that is really the major delay right now. As soon as that dam breaks loose, we pretty much have everything else either ready to go or in the pipeline to be completed shortly. Q: when They are not done yet. We are paying for what's called a "bullet run" though, which is essentially an expedited process to get the chips done sooner. > From BFL forums https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showthread.php/104-Shipping-in-2-3-weeks/page8 |

BFL should NEVER EVER announce a product withe a release date again. They should squirrel away with the VC and profits from FPGAs then one day go:
"Oh hey everybody, you can buy this awesome device NOW, we have them in stock"

While it is sad they are falling short by a few weeks, I hope they continue to try to under promise & then surprise us just a little. But not too much of a surprise  |

How does that even make sense? They don't even have the chips yet.. but what about soldering everything to the PCB? Who does that? Do they even have their PCB yet? |

Why would they do that? Nov will turn into Dec and right around the time people get pissed they will demo a board or two and promise shipment will go soon. Soon will turn in January or maybe February and even then the product will come out in a trickle. I mean going that route made them a mint when selling FPGA. Their customers paid up front, they didn't have to risk any of their own capital, and the way early pre-announcement killed sales of competitors. A win-win-win. Why wouldn't they do it again? Given the bitcoin community rewarded them for their prior business actions (accepting orders based on a simulation, grossly inaccurate specs, false shipping times, etc) why would they change? |

Don't forget it is still helping GPU/FPGA miners, who would have had a lot more competition if BFL wouldn't have announced to be releasing an ASIC in October. More like a win-win-win-win |

Antivirus gives a lot false positives on CGminer.
If you don't trust it, then installed it only on a dedicated miner.
CGminer is TROJAN FREE.
I collect my bitcoins on a dedicated laptop inside a VMWare image and backup the wallet and put that backup in another house.
Just in case if my laptop got stolen.
