I just saw this at the BFL forums.... Bumping is done and chips should be getting shipped off to the packager Saturday.

I just saw this at the BFL forums.... Bumping is done and chips should be getting shipped off to the packager Saturday. https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bfl-forum-miscellaneous/1176-february-28th-update-discussion-3.htmlSorry to be devil's advocate here, but do you really think that once the chips work, even supposing that's the case without any more mishaps (a tall order in itself) - that they just pack 'em up in a black box and the boxes get shipped? more tests needed after they are placed, a prototype product has to be built and tested, a nd final products need to be assembled and tested. Do you really believe that final products will be sent a week after chip testing ends? that's not the way hardware development works, fellows. It makes me sad and doubtful about BFL's credibility, or whatever's left of it after so many failed promises, that they make such projections on shipping time - and that people buy them. Forgot to mention the time it takes to place on the following labels: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalworldtokyo.com%2Fentryimages%2F2006%2F10%2F061026_PS3_labels.jpg&t=665&c=x5CxbiNseGPmeQ) If I'm not mistaken, two of the boxes that Kano photographed has the required labels in them. When is the Jalapeno getting FCC approval?
Maybe two weeks? We are waiting for the test lab to issue the test report. With the bump in power requirements on the MR and the new screen, we had to make changes, although the new screen is already certified. We are doing all the devices at once, since they all share the same board.

Ready to ship? LOL, no. Maybe reading to start assembling and testing a prototype.
Cliff notes: will ship by April-May, MAYBE, if everything goes according to plan.

I just saw this at the BFL forums.... Bumping is done and chips should be getting shipped off to the packager Saturday. Maybe you're confusing the packaging of finished miners with the packaging of the chip dies inside FCBGA chip packages, which is what's being done now. There are still a lot of steps before they can ship a finished product.

They took 1 of the 6 wafers from the bumping facility to wire it up for testing. Q: Why? A: They did this because bumping was taking awhile and they wanted to be able to give the fab the go ahead to put the final layers on the other 6 wafers in waiting. Q: What happened? A: They say the test went fine, everything is okay. Q: So did they tell the fab to finish putting the final layers on the 6 wafers in waiting? A: No... Q: Why? A: They said they're going to wait to do final testing of the first 5 wafers leaving the bumping facility going onto packaging before initiating the final layer production at the fab.
What does this tell you? Either they're idiots and just threw away 1/6th of their first run for no reason or... something didn't go as they had planned with the wire bond testing. https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bfl-forum-miscellaneous/1221-there-problems-asic-chips-2.html#post17173No, everything is going just fine. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FM2cYhOV.png&t=665&c=6FiWD1o_Pkxkwg) https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bfl-forum-miscellaneous/1221-there-problems-asic-chips.html#post17170The growing sentiments are frightening.

If a man of word said "February" then neigher March nor other month can make him take his words back.

The first one is valid, but the second one is a terrible bet as there's no way of knowing what the actual network hashrate is. It's using an estimate for hashrate and it's absolutely possible that even with a real 40TH/s on the network that you will get 50TH/s for the estimated hashate. The way it's worded you could have a steady average of 40TH/s for a month but a peak to 50TH/s would satisfy it to the affirmative.

No, that was when a hacker broke into Mt Gox and brought the market down to $0.01. Those fake trades were rolled back. The market did crash from it's bubble high to a couple dollars but nothing like that.
