I was wondering if anyone else was suspecting that Butterfly Labs is mining and delaying customer orders? The massive spike in difficulty is suspicions, and I don't think people would suddenly start buying tons of gpus when asics are supposedly just around the corner. It could be spike in price caused a lot of people to bring their rigs out of retirement, that doesn't seem reasonable since the hashrate is higher then it was it the past. What do you think?

I'm not going to speculate as to the recent prices of BTC, but I do know they can't use consumer goods before use, unless they're planning on just mining and cancelling all the orders lol

The network should have only increased around 18000 g/hash since they shipped only 300 units. Would they be running a hundreds of units for themselves?

Says the network has almost more then doubled since the new year.

I'm in the probably camp, if you look at their Eclipse MC pool you see 1000MH/s spikes around the time they were putting in the new chips in the test unit.

It would be the greatest scam ever,
1. Use customer money to fund expensive ASIC R&D
2. Finish ASIC use to mine, keep delaying sales wait for everyone to refund,
3. Use mining to pay refunds, profit!

They essentially used customers money as a very cheap pretty much free loan.
