In light of the recent hype, yet again, of BFL's shipping claims, I think it's time to dedicate a thread to a compendium of BFL_Josh's list of excuses since epoch. If we can aggregate all their excuses in one thread, maybe people can put the pieces of the puzzle together themselves. I'll start with the latest....... I understand these aren't direct quotes. They're interpretations from an IRC chat. But does it really matter? Apparently there's a power drain problem causing units to overheat now lol. I know Josh, it's tough to pull out your phone and press about 4 buttons to upload a video of that working machine. Technology makes life so difficult. 03-29-2013The units are working, but the last issue is fixing the power drain. Once this is fixed, units are expected to ship. The rough projection is 2 weeks. In an absolute perfect world, units might ship next week. They can build about 400 units a day. If you're an early pre-order, and have a FPGA unit getting traded up, check the site to find out when. |

OK, here's one: From https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/692-bfl-asic-status.htmlBFL_Josh, 16th Jan 2013: "When we announced the delay last month, we decided to go back and switch from our QFN package to a flip chip BGA (FCBGA) package. ... Our chips would have functioned as currently spec'd within our thermal tolerances, but we would have very little thermal headroom to really crank things up. With an eye towards the future, we decided to bite the bullet and release a product that is ready for the long haul as opposed to releasing something now that would require exotic cooling to be pushed past 80 GH/s or so." LOL! Obviously not as we all know now: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1b8hvt/bfl_josh_updates_on_asic_status_full_transcript/BFL_Josh, 28th Mar 2013:: "We have some boards at 1.76w, some at 2.5 and some at 4 and one at 6 ... it's drawing like 195 watts which is ridiculous." Lyke: Do all the devices have the power issues or just specific ones? BFL_Josh: All devices, Lyke... they all use the same board and substrate. |

What may have gone under people's radar after Josh stirred things up yesterday, and btw, promised video evidence which hasn't appeared (surprise surprise) is a minor stipulation....fine print covering all bases. 03/29/2013I want to clarify the above post, as there is some potential confusion. We are not shipping yet. We plan on shipping possibly by the end of next week, but I will update on a shipping schedule as soon as I have more definitive information with regards to that.
People really believe a company that's run into this many problems in the manufacturing process are going to magically ship out 400 units / day. |

No subscribers or other videos with that youtube user. Whats their affiliation with BFL? No name mentioned.... Random memory values. Very unconvincing and at BEST, prototype stage.

Pastor Josh hath spoken. I just kid. How will they retrofit another power regulator to 400 machines / day for shipment? I'm not even trolling, I really want to know. |

It's possible they knew about the power consumption earlier and ordered new boards. Maybe.

I must say, for a self-claimed Intel " engineer" whos making six figures a year, you're showing a very good use of your time. There are only 2 possibilities: 1) Intel is a sucker and their HR must be run by a clueless son of a motherless goat 2) You're believing that you're an Intel engineer so much, you dont even know its just an imaginary job for your online character. |
