Does anyone have the inside scoop on Butterfly Labs?  They are taking all this depost money, but it seems like they have not shipped anything.  What is the deal?  Are they just taking people's money, keeping the equipment, and mining with it? 

I would love some of their hardware, but obviously like most people, I've figured out that they have another agenda than just providing people with mining hardware.

You do know that it hasn't figured it out if BFL is a scam or not yet ?

I ordered recently and with an order number running in to 61k (i'm supposing the 1 completely in front is just there) my hopes of getting one that will pay itself back are sinking true the floor...

I can get ASIC chips that's not the problem. I just don't know what to do with them after that Smiley

You build a rig by buying a PCB (which would be available by the time your chips are delivered).

look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190731.0

If they would get the ball rolling and make these shipments happen and items available for ASAP I'd happily buy from them.  I'm sure I speak for many.

My friend has a jalapeno, he is mining now but they didn't send so many ASICs.

They are almost ready to start shipping the double boards, it means little singles and big singles too!!

They have shipped almost nothing.  Maybe 50-100 of the 5 GH/s units.   And they all have high hardware error rates...  Wonder what they appear to hash at on the pool side?

BFL_Josh posted last night with a photo of a working Single, saying that they're expecting a big order of the boards to arrive next week. So, not really much different from what they've been saying for the past 6+ months...
