I have read a lot of people saying this is a scam. But has anyone received they're miner. I was thinking about buying one. But I don't know. I see people selling they're preorders on ebay. Does anyone think it's worth purchasing?

if u can wait ~ 1 year, yes one year i said ... order ... so far .. about 35 people got their items .. 35 from 100k+ probably

[coryclark016]

is there anymore else that sells miners like this ?

Complicated question.

They probably aren't a full fledged scam, but they consistently act extremely shady and have no problem screwing over customers.

If you order now by the time you get your product the mining difficulty might be so high that it will take a very long time to recoup your investment.

If you buy someone's pre order on ebay you'll end up paying a lot more and you won't have any idea when you'll get it. If you get lucky and get it very soon, you could make back the investment quickly.

Who is this Butterfly Labs you speak of?  Why has nobody mentioned them before?

People have started getting the Jalapeno 5GH/s units. They shipped me one, and I should get it within the week.

Good to hear - are you being shipped a dev/review or customer unit? Do you mind sharing your order date?

 Only a few Jalapeno's have been shipped out. Mostly to media outlets, developers, and BFL forum moderators.

 A trickle of Jalapeno's are starting to flow to customers.

 As to worth purchasing, I would advise you to read these forums a bit more and make an independent decision on whether or not you wish to deal with them. The thread in my signature is a good start.

this is what you can do... send me 1/2 the going rate for a jala in BTC, I will kick you in the balls and keep your money. You are now officially 'up to speed' with those of us who have pre-ordered BFL products.

Este Nuno gave you a very honest and short summary of your options. Truth is, no one really knows. If you want to get into ASIC, I would do some research on other ASIC offerings and look only at the products that have shipped.

It's not a dev or review unit. It's customer order, on 6/23.
