Note: I look at the site and the Mini-rig was in stock and now it is out of stock in about 20 secs. Interesting.

I find the price increase quite reasonable.
Only if they actually had a product to sell.

This is going to have interesting implications on ongoing delivery bets linking to the products page for specs.

They still claim the jalapeno will be USB powered.
With n+1 USB ports they can do it.

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers

and this is why i did not order an asic. way too much drama. avalon batch #1 is the clear winner along with friedcat's thing. avalon batch #2, whenever it ships, looks like double. avalon batch #3 will be a single or a walk. bfl will ship in a month or two i guess making avalon #3 a so-so deal.
IF BFL ships in a month. It's still uncertain if they will. I think they will likely probably finally ship by the middle of next month. But it'll just be a few dozen units at first. It'll take them most of 2013 to fulfill their existing preorders is my guess, if their track record up to now has been any indication. But hey. It's anybody's guess I guess. You may be right.

Not "out of stock". Impossible to Make. They are just not great at defining things. Sort of like "shipped"

Avalon batch #1 is investing in Facebook when it was still a hacked up server in a Harvard dorm room Avalon batch #2 is a winning lottery ticket Avalon batch #3 is getting IPO shares in google BFL is a great opportunity to learn what happens when a company goes bankrupt owing you money

Wow, "out of stock" on the mini-rig and "order now" buttons on everything else, really makes it look as though they actually have finished products. I clicked through to the checkout page without noticing anything about a pre-order, or having to wait for 250,000 products to ship before mine does. I was on the fence about BFL being an outright scam or just incompetent, after the events of the past wee I'm now quite sure that they are intentionally robbing people.

Remember 3dfx? From their last graphics card series only a couple 100s ever where build before they got insolvent. I can imagine owning a BFL Asic will be the same in a view years as owning a Voodoo 5.

I just cannot wait for how Josh is going to make everyone "whole" like he promised. There are SO many amusing ways he can do that. "sorry, I did not mean whole on your hashrate you paid for, I am giving you a 50% off coupon for your next purchase".....

Hehe maybe the 3dfx reference is apt. But I don't know, the Voodoo 3 kicked ass Late '90's Voodoo 5 video card image for the <30 crowd:

I find the price increase quite reasonable. Doesn't it negate the discount vouchers sent to early victims investors?

I wish by some twist of weird chip-logic fate that the Voodoo 5's actually turned out to be great miners. Be great to buy up a bunch of them for a mining rig hehe

Their new schedule: Pre-order Terms: Bitforce SC (ASIC) products are in final stage development with initial shipping scheduled for the last half of April 2013. Products are shipped according to placement in the order queue, and delivery may take 2 months or more after order. All sales are final. "initial shipping scheduled last half of April 2013" "delivery may take 2 months or more after order" What a joke. And I'm not so sure they will be able to make everybody "whole". They will send 50GHs for Singles and 25GHs for Little Singles. What about power specs? I'm so glad I did not order a mini rig, I cannot imagine what they will send to "make whole" early mini rig orders.

Be great to buy up a bunch of them for a mining rig hehe I could Imagine this. 3dfx chips where designed that up to 256 GPUs could work in parallel. And this was in the late 90s. That's actually where Nvidia got their SLI technology from. Just think about them further developing this technology until today.
