Given that they are shipping out 4 per day, you're likely to receive yours in only 3,713 more days

Hopefully BFL will ship as many Jalapenos as possible using their existing stock of chips rather than sitting and waiting for new SC/Mini boards to be redesigned, built and tested. That would take at least another few weeks.

They need to ship some jalepenos to everyone on their order list as a booby prize for waiting so danged long and then send out all of the proper orders... 1 free jalepeno for each of your orders seems fair at this point many many months into the slipped schedule process...

Seriously at this point it would make more sense to refund your order and slap a GPU rig together, especially if you bought something else than the jalapeno.

Hello guys,
Honestly, I wish I had ordered one a year ago. Now it makes little sense to order one. Sure, this drip distribution methods make sure the the hash-rate of the network does not sky rocket... so it's good... in a sense.
What I wonder is: how revolutionary is their design? Once one is shipped to a developer, it could be reverse engineered...maybe? Did they design their own custom chips? Or are they using chips build some other company? In that case, couldn't we reproduce their work? All I heard is that they optimized power consumption, allegedly by tuning the chips (how? transistor count, die size?)
LE: I studied a bit more ASICs. They probably have custom chips. If with all the people interested in bitcoin mining, couldn't an open source solution be build? As far as I can tell the challenge with ASICs are the building costs - that's why they needed to get the preorders, otherwise they wouldn't have built anything. The price is another strange thing - 274$ a unit(150$ originally) is a rather low price for a custom build chip...
I would normally call bullshit on such a product(it's why I never ordered one - sounded like a fantasy) but it seems that at least a few units shipped and that they are indeed performing 5GH/s at 30W. At least according to the youtube videos.
Does anyone have some technical details on these little Jalapenos?

It's early days so far in the manufacturing process and I trust BFL will be able to scale production up. They had better too, as right now no one should be ordering a Jalapeno if it takes the whole company a few hours to manufacture one. Imagine ordering today and receiving your order sometime in 2014.

Speaking of scaling up, I sure would love to see what BFL has on the drawing board in this respect. Hell, now that they're officially "shipping", maybe they're about to send out a press release of their next generation miners like they did shortly after their FPGA line starting trickling to the post office like a bale of jolly tortugas.

They also need to attract new capitals to continue their development.

The only capital they needed was the money to buy the ASIC wafer, which was obviously huge, and the manufacturing machines, once that's done the business can pay for itself either from sales, or if sales drop off from mining themselves. Either way they have the potential to be successful.

They need more capital to re-design their Little Single, Single, mini-rig, meaning new PCB, new case, new power/cooling design, new packaging... That's going to cost more time and money BFL can't afford if they still haven't ship anything... So they ship a few to buy themselves a little bit more time and money.

They could mine as much BTC as they need without having to "string their poor customers along". But they couldn't mine that BTC without the capital for the wafer or specialized equipment to make the first mining rigs.
