Received BFL Jalapeño Today!

For a $149 investment it'll repay itself and make $1300 on top in one month of mining.

Think again. You paid about 23 BTC 10 months ago. You'll make .3 btc/day. Even if the difficulty doesn't skyrocket (which it will), you need more than 2 months to just break even. You aren't making any profit for a long time.

No, he paid in USD, just like everyone else.  Nice try, though.

Yes, this one will have a really, really nice ROI.

[Scared]

I was an early adopter. I purchased BFL's FPGA devices in the past and the moment I heard of their new product line purchased a bunch of ASIC devices. I know BFL get's a lot of flack for delivering late but their products are extremely well designed and perform great. I'm thrilled that they are honoring their original commitment for delivering the quoted hashing even though it's costing them a lot to redesign their products for the higher power requirements. Overall I'm happy with what they delivered and looking forward to what they come up with next.

My order number was 1604.

[minternj]

Wait, you mean a company that has sold you stuff before(FPGA) sold you more stuff (ASIC)?

ITS A SCAM PONZI SCHEME!!!!! THIS GUYS A SHILL!!!

... is what posts below this will say...

[Unacceptable]

Part of the FPGA upgrade group,I see 

Congrats!!! 

Get these things rolling BFL,network is getting to 100TH w/diff @ 100,000,000.

My 2nd day order is losing its new "early adopter" smell 

[wksantiago]

Thanks Scared at least I know where I stand

[PuertoLibre]

Um no,

It will be full of:

"WTF! My order number is <insert order number>. Mine is way below his!? Why hasn't mine already shipped?"

[minternj]

Um no,

It will be full of:

"WTF! My order number is <insert order number>. Mine is way below his!? Why hasn't mine already shipped?"

True. lol. i was thinking it too.

[rograz]

Um no,

It will be full of:

"WTF! My order number is <insert order number>. Mine is way below his!? Why hasn't mine already shipped?"

Order number doesn't say much anyway since it's the day BFL received full payment that counts, considering this any "normal" order that gets filled right now should have been paid with BTC. Since you like to bash BFL so much you can therefore go hunt for someone who received their day one pre-orders and paid with bank wire (iirc paypal wasn't available from the start). Let's see how it turns out!

Meanwhile, if he bought BTC, he would have 23 BTC, right now. Nice try at post rationalizing though.

Not correct. It took them few days to clear my payment - order date is the day I placed it, not the date they received the funds!

Hindsight my friend. BTC could have went to zero too. this is a weak argument.

hi have you tried mining litecoins with your jale?

how much is the hash rate?

Just like everyone else? I paid in BTC, this is a fact that can be proven. I don't think I'm entitled to a BTC refund, but this does not change the fact that I paid in BTC.

Finally shipping it seems. Hopefully not too fast. Just fast enough to not be a scam but not fast enough to actually affect difficulty.  

@minterj If BTC went bust, his Jalapeno would also be worthless. The point is, the owner would already have in hand (23BTC) what the device is supposed to provide over the course of 6 months (assuming conservative rises in difficulty).

The value and income of bitcoin mining devices is tied to the value of bitcoin. Unlike gpus, ASIC can't be resold for other purposes. Therefore, by buying a BFL ASIC, he was still at the whim of BTC prices.

And if BTC had gone to zero, he'd also have 23 BTC. See how the exchange rate is completely irrelevent? Mining hardware generates BTC no matter what the exchange rate is, so BTC is how you have to evaluate its ROI.

No, he paid in USD, just like everyone else.  Nice try, though.

I don't see how BFL stopped him from buying 23 BTC at any time, can you please post where BFL forbids people from purchasing BTC once they purchase one of our products, which are sold for USD (Not BTC)?

You can't?  Oh, then your argument is fallacious.  Nice try at rationalizing a false premise, though.  Well, actually, no it's not.  It's pretty sophomoric and elementary.

<slow clap>
that was brilliant

Why so many HW errors?
