Reminder that up until now everything has happened exactly as predicted by myself on December 3rd - Finally understanding how Asian fabs work, BFL raises their order from 20000 chips to 100000 to bump up their place in the production queue. - Fab decides they finally have time for that weirdo BFL company to do their miniscule run on the 11th. This is under provision no big orders from LG come in in the mean time because boy that Nexus 4 is selling like hotcakes. If that happens BFLs run is gonna be pushed back to "whenever". - Assuming the 11th happens and the run actually starts, you can add about 4-5 weeks for production of these things. - On 21st of December the world ends - In the middle of January the chips are finished. Inaba decides to hop in a plane and fly over to the fab to hand receive the chips. Turns out, all planes crashed during the end of the world. Instead the chips are shipped over to 'merica by boat. - Middle of March the chips finally arrive in what is now called the Independent State of California. Customs officials hold what they assume to be weapons grade military devices until the end of the war with Texas finally ends in a stalemate. - 2015: ASICs arrive at BFL studios (a subsidiary of bAvalon International). No one knows what to do with them because all bitcoins were wiped out by the EMP pulse from Planet Rth'Nag'Ar. - 2016: bAvalon strings the chips up on metal bars to produce a first-of-its-kind mathematics device they call The Abacus. I still think the misunderstood people's of Rth'Nag'Ar are only in this to help us turn the tables on the lizard humanoids from hollow Earth.

Plainly, the answer is yes. BFL has lied about shipping dates for months and they're still lying. They're still painting rosey pictures of their shipping plans and attempting to shift blame for the delays to an unaccountable fab. This has been done to lure in pre-orders away from other manufacturers that are actually much nearer to shipping products.
To be clear I still expect BFL to ship products, but the ROI for those recipients will be much longer than originally projected and there is an ever increasing risk that this company will run off with the funds or be forced into insolvency.
Naw, why rush it? Let January come and go, then February, then March...why drop the hammer too soon? Let them squirm moar. There's a reason only unresponsive scammers get tags here, and that reason is we need the drama; we're backing Bitcoin with it.

Here's one where an author has put-off his pre-order customers for three years by telling them that he's waiting for the commodity price of paper and ink to stabilize so that he can finally send the manuscript to the the printers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yDezLh76BkLuckily, sand is not a commodity.

I told that Pirateat40 way of doing business reminds pyramid and confidence scam. Not everyone listened.
I told that BFL is scam months ago. Most of users here told I was wrong.
I also sell that all other ASIC "manufacturers" are in fact BFL shills. This is so well planned out and it goes so well that Pirate will look small compared to BFL.

It really is the 3D rendering of SC. It does not prove they have them, in fact it proves the opposite. Look, I have 3D rendering of Aurora bomber! Anyone want to preorder them? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpreview.turbosquid.com%2FPreview%2F2011%2F06%2F14__10_10_45%2FAurora_3.jpgba8fa683-95f3-4f8c-ac4b-c1fd0b59941fLarge.jpg&t=665&c=jUzERZywDlZvNQ)

Please use PGP and encrypt your messages if you're going to sell military hardware.
Also, I assume you ship freight?

The problem is that single Aurora bomber in basic configuration costs 35 million Bitcoins.
You probably might be interested in scaled-down version called Penilino. It is single-seat version capable of carrying single Hellfire missile or 500Kg of cocaine.

Ah, I see, then I'll just hoard and wait for the value of BTC to randomly explode.

What a choice! Does it come with leather seats and air-con?

Micon pulled that number from.... somewhere no one knows. And Internet being what it is it keeps getting repeated. I'd seriously doubt they reached 10% of that number. Note that my guesstimate is pulled from .... somewhere no one should want to know..
