So I see that BFL has started shipping their 5.0Gh machines. Anyone know how many have been shipped and what the potential wait time on one would be if I ordered today?
Shipping a few test boards absolutely does not mean they are shipping.
Josh just posted and said they have 100 more chips on the way but they are having more problems with their single boards. So they can possibly make 50 Jal's with the chips that are on their way...
They are not shipping. They have some test chips coming to them and they are sending them out as they go. Shipping would be more along the lines of they have some many fucking chips they can't assemble them fast enough and ship a finished product out.
At this point, they are still in R&D and trying to figure out how they fucked up so bad. Because their power consumption is out of this world and they still have idiots throwing their money at them.
When asked this question by a UK user via BFL's official Twitter feed, the response was "
two months". I think someone spiked the water in Kansas City.
This was also the reply from BFL in September, November, January, February, March, April, and now. See a pattern?
