Based on the convo, it sounds like their trying to solder every chip by hand... Ouch. |

Based on the convo, it sounds like their trying to solder every chip by hand... Ouch. I was under the impression that for the first batch the assembly of the boards was being done by an assembly house and that the in-house assembly was just going to be a matter of BFL screwing components into the cases. Perhaps whatever is actually wrong with the units means this original plan needs to be revised. Has there been any word whatsoever on when the next 6 wafers will be ready or when the bulk order will be finished. These were each supposed to be completed only weeks after the Batch 1 chips were bumped and packaged. The Batch 1 chips obviously aren't going to fill very many orders given the power problems and the need to ship multiple units to meet advertised hash rates, so when in the hell can those who pre-ordered between August and January expect delivery? |
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

BFL answer: End of April.
My opinion: Not before the next waver run creates a fixed and working ASIC. Minimum 12 weeks, propably longer.

BFL answer: End of April.
End of April seems to be their best case scenario date for shipping the first units to people other than developers. I've seen nothing which indicates that the second batch of wafers have even been completed yet, let alone bumped and packaged. I've definitely seen nothing which indicates that the fab is currently working on the bulk order for 63,000 chips - which I suspect are going to be needed to fill the majority of gen 1 pre-orders. |

I assume that they stopped the wafer production and maybe start again when the prototypes are working and fix the power consumption problems. I think, at the moment they have no ASIC that can be used to build a product.

I actually know this guy (used to work with him) and talked to him on Skype last night. Everything he saw coincides with what they've said. They had 1 unit hashing with some people working on it, and basically nothing else. If they are waiting on new boards with new power regulators then of course they wouldn't be doing anything besides software tweaks. |

This will not happen unless hundreds of orders that came before are cancelled. They've been constantly lying about delivery dates this way for nearly a year now. |

Yeah. Boxes of fans. Maybe than can reuse the fans in their singles when they receive the new ASICs where the power problems are fixed.

Man, it sure would have been cool to sell those BFL mined coins at $250 a piece, wouldn't it.
Oh well, i guess $12 a piece is still cool.

$12 x 0 = $250 x 0 |

Interesting transcript with Dave from BFL I found on that reddit link. It confirms BFL doesn't have a set shipping date yet, and they are full of shit when it comes to shipping "next week". http://pastebin.com/HpxTwUNW |

I'd hardly say that qualifies as a transcript. On that note, what the hell is BFL even doing? |

There is no 1164 SW Hillsdale in Topeka, KS. In fact, there is no street at all named Hillsdale in Topeka, KS. But there is such a place in Shawnee, KS, just outside Kansas City. My guess is that in the backyard one would find chickens. |

I clearly saw Swanee and then asked for directions to Topeka KS of which the results were ~60 miles. Top box was only Topeka, KS, with the generated box below it beling the Swanee, KS complete address. I wasn't trying to spread fud here. At any rate, it's only 4 blocks west of SW Gage Blvd. |
