BFL orders question

[platorin]

Hi Guys, I wanted to ask, has anyone received any prerdered singles from BFL yet?

I wasn't aware the singles were pre-order only.  I thought the new ASICS (Jalapeno etc) were the only products on pre-order.  Unless you are talking about the super computers, which in that case I do not think they have been shipped out yet.  They are very nice pieces of equipment, judging from the specifications.  I'm just wonder how well the market/difficulty will adjust to the increase in hardware potential.

I'm saving up for a single SC myself, but haven't even earned a single bitcoin yet.  So I'll take it as it comes.

There are no ASIC shipments yet and no firm date.

They don't even have a prototype yet..

Come  December they will say shipping in January ..

Seems they keep pushing the date when every one  who ordered expected them to hold the first one October .

what a joke. DON"T ANNOUNCE A  DATE YOU CAN"T  KEEP !! BFL

Well, I'm sure they will ramp up the difficulty.  Hopefully I won't have to wait 6 months to get on the next shipment.

I have a couple of Jalapenos on order, but put the order in quite late (September).  With orders from June to August to fill I don't expect to get mine until well into next year.  May be a bit too late by then as difficulty will skyrocket and we'll be back to square one in terms of bitcoins per kWh.

I also have a bet on Bets of Bitcoin that no BFL ASIC products will ship to end users before 1 December.

I sure hope not, BTC will fail.  And I can guarentee you I will dedicate my PC to something else.  This project has too much potential to let some random hardware company run it down the drain.  It needs some serious administration in order to succeed.  Blowing everyone out of the water by offering "pre-order" hardware and raising the difficulty won't help.  Hmmm, what to do; what to do.
