Update: I have exchanged some email with @BFL_Josh , and some things have been clarified.
My unit is probably closer to prototype than a production-quality review unit. In particular, one of the two chips in my miner is a dud, and non-functional. Production 5GH/s miners will all have 2 functional ASIC chips. Because mine has only one, it has been clocked higher, and is not quite capable of reaching 5 GH/s. But I'm happy with it.
grnbrg.
Define happy dude?

Exactly. It doesn't look that bad after all. If normal (customer) jalapenos have two underclocked chips, they should have potential to be overclocked to ~8GH/s. With proper cooling of course.

I'd be happy if it shipped 6 months ago with problems. What a joke.

This is actually interesting: 1 chip fullspeed = 25W and 4.1GH 2 chips underclocked = 32W and 5.5GH This is REALLY interesting for overclocking!!! Still has the problem that 8 chips will never be able to give 50GH... @grnbrg we'll see how long that poor little chip lasts!

Define happy dude? He got a free 4Gh/s review unit. What's not to be happy about?

Define happy dude? Happy = receiving a machine that will make you ~$1000 a month (at current difficulty, at least) for free Jealous = making fun of someone for being happy. I'm jealous too.

How much were you paid to use such a ridiculous title for this thread? BFL's Jalapeno exists - I have one in my hand and just uploaded a video You could have used: it is not a scam, BUY BUY BUY! I can imagine how much you were paid. You were paid..... A Jalapeno. Nice and cheap way to buy someone. Shame on you.

So basically order with PayPal and they will legally force BFL to bump you in the queue!? I wonder if you can get even higher in the queue by ordering with PayPal and then immediately canceling your PayPal account?

Is obvious advertising in order to trap more poor newbies in their pre-order scheme.

Can you walk me through your conservative math please? I assume by "profit margin" you mean markup (or a 75% gross margin) or maybe you actually mean Josh has promised investors' a "profit that is 4X revenue", that would be a whole new thread though. Try to remember the price has changed so you need to use the actual revenue that they should recognize as they ship. I am actually interested. I can help you start if you want. $149 Revenue (let's assume they b/e on shipping). COGS (according to conservative estimate of intern): $37.25. So, you claim it is very conservative to assume their 2 chip jallie costs them less than $37.25 to make. Can you please break it down for us who are not as wise as you please?

Everyone has the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons of preordering, and everyone has a choice of whether to preorder or not. I see no scheme here.
