You should probably check out the BFL forums. |
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

Surely you jest good sir, this is none other than BFL we're talking about. The end of the year certainly sounds safer given the circumstances. |

^I agree,the updates certainly are helpful but as mentioned until someone actually receives and mentions they have the their hardware in hand I treat everything else as vaporware before even trusting any with my BTC or money.

I have been keeping things updated weekly if you want to save yourself from having to read through all the BS. http://www.btcmu.info/articles/145-miner-speculation-who-holds-the-cards.htmlBut yes most timelines are speculation. BFL doesn't even know the exact date they will ship. |

I still haven't seen any updates on what's happening at the bumping facility or how a slip in the bumping facility schedule would affect the remaining steps in getting BFL ASICs completed. I suspect that there's no hope now of them shipping on 22 February - the question is whether they'll be able to ship before March.

March? LoL. Maybe by May-June. Everything they say is about 300% longer, so "next month" means "maybe in 3 months" because they havent even made prototypes yet, let alone production units.

Forget an exact date, they're out by 4 months on what was supposed to be a 4 month wait. They delayed it into the next YEAR. |

Their current lie rosy picture leads one to believe that when the 6000 5000 chips finally leave the bumping facility that they'll have working products shipped within a couple weeks, but that's not at all realistic even for a company staffed with competent labor. |

Butterfly Labs doesn't actually exist anymore, Kanoi was forced to enter an empty room that consisted only of a greenscreen during his recent "visit"... the miner is a lie...

No, it was a matrix head plugged, virtual reality. I can still feel the metal socket on the back of my head  |

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Just because I don't bet on those stupid yes/no sites doesn't mean I haven't put my money where my mouth is. |

I think you may actually be right.They have actual pics of their boards now....but I would still be concerned about availability.I actually think they might have more BFL products in the wild than Avalon's in the next two months. |

BFL already has more product in the wild from their FPGA line, so we know they were legit at some point, but looking at their ASICs, they haven't show a single hash anywhere, they're already 4 months behind schedule, and yet they're STILL pushing and advertising them like they can't get rid of them fast enough. I'd be surprised if even a dozen customers have BFL ASICs two months from now.  |

4-6 weeks
This is the only reliable answer, based on past experience. BFL ASICs are always only 4-6 weeks away. |
They're there, in their room.
Your mining rig is on fire, yet you're very calm.
