As long as no one confirms that we've received their order BFL can say what they want....
I received my pre-ordered (day 2, I think) Jalapeno today. Jeez, man. First you cooperate with the CIA. Then you get a BFL ASIC miner, which is some sort of mythical artifact at this stage. What's next, partnering with Mr. Shavers to launch a Bitcoin fork? Just joking of course  |

Got my 2 Jalepenos. Completely random as I bought someone else pre-order like forever ago. Working on getting BFGminer configed to see what it will run them at. BFGminer's author had his unit running at almost 5.5GHs. mmmmmmmmmm pics here;    |
If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

I received my pre-ordered (day 2, I think) Jalapeno today. You are a central figure, and may have jumped the queue. A confirmation from some random pretty anonymous but long-term user would count a lot more in this case. I have mine, ordered 6/24, received 5/23 . Im a nobody and Ive been here since july 2011.   |

Yeah, super bright news, BFL started "shipping" 2 weeks ago and in these 2 weeks they shipped a few dozens (and I'm being generous) Jalapeños to customers who placed their orders during the very first 3 days (22nd, 23rd and 24th June 2012). At this rate customers that ordered in September 2012 or later will get their Jalapeños in 2016, and customers who preordered Singles and Mini Singles will probably receive their units in 2017 or 2018. Customers that ordered mini-rigs... Well, that's an horror story in itself, no need to beat on a dead horse (I fell your pain, guys). |

Well its better news than them shipping a couple 60gh miners to Wired and Ars Technica for evaluation...
At least "real customers," i.e., not Luke-Jr, have started to receive them. This is a positive development.

And the reports of these "running" shipped units, that they "don't even know the specs for"... are just flying off the shelves... all those original 30 reporters and reviewers... yet, none of the 30 reports or reviews... only a disection of a dead unit by a sort-of hacker group... Whoa... $2,000,000 and they produce 80+30 $40 units! Sent to the secret-reviewers, "who's names can't be named"... Just like harry potter! Who are they reviewing them for? The CIA? |

Real customer, report in... ... ... ... ... ... I said... REAL CUSTOMER... REPORT IN!... Hello... are you there? Real-customer... can't write a review, or brag about getting his/her machine first... and is obviously sooo impressed by his/her purchase, that they completely forgot to tell anyone about getting the thing they waited all year to get! They must still be looking for the power button! OOps, that wasn't in this design... Send it back, we have a revision coming for that! |

I was at the Conference in San Jose and they had working two 30g and a jalapeno hashing away at there table, so I think there pretty close to delivery. Now would be the time to place a order. They said pre-orders would arrive next month and full supply by September.
My God. It's full of shills. Boom. Best quote I've seen in awhile |

To put it mildly.
Ludicrous. You just couldn't make it up.
Congratulations to SadPanda. He definitively has some fun with those, but it is an exception from general rule that people spend fat $$$$, wait ages and get nothing in return.

This company is full of monsters, I got my refund today.
I don't care if they deliver ever, no business that operates this way and pisses on their customers deserves support from anyone, even if they somehow manage to finally crap out a product a year late.

Thanks. They can and soem already do run much faster than 5GH. I would like to point out that I did not pre-order and never would. If it were not for the fact that I knew the person selling their pre-order and knew they needed the cash I would not have purchased. As it turned out, I was very lucky in the ROI on this. Looking to buy some Avalon chips if I am going to do anything with mining and suggest to anyone else that is the best ROI mining wise atm. cheers |
