Soon you can "pre-order" BFL ASIC "chips"

[yurtesen]

Well, BFL says you can pre-order their asics this month.
While they dont give figures on how much power does the chips exactly use, they seem to be suggesting you will get your chips in about '100 days' :p

LOL yup in "100 days" you will get all the VAPOR CHIPS that they promise to deliver.

Yes buy into it knowing their track record of promises they fail to deliver on people.

[Quix]

Based on their previous delivery time vs promised delivery time I wouldn't get your hopes up. Conservatively, it's been 10 months or more at this point. If they can't even put out their own units I wouldn't be very comfortable buying anything from these guys.

1 year +100 days

Who still trust in bfl?
they are just ridiculous.

[Bicknellski]

Ignoring the OP and this thread. Ridiculous.

Big Free Loan
Rev. 2.0
Now and for ASIC chips!

[smoothie]

All the signs are there:

1. BFL failed on ALL of their promises for the past year. (THEY LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH)

2. Haven't started shipping large QTY of preorders to customers.

3. At Bitcoin Conference BFL's name was not placed anywhere on the program information nor were they included in the seminar material (AVALON was).

4. Now they want to pre-sell their ASIC chips to you "exclusively" because they really care about you protecting the bitcoin network and want you to turn a profit in doing so. NEW!

5. Josh still has time to troll these forums despite claiming they have so much shit to do and not enough time. He finds time to come here and shit on the forums.

6. BFL has not paid its 1000 BTC bet nor has Josh paid his 1000 BTC bet.

Seriously?

Damn, thats like being erased...

Edit: If this were the case as you claim, perhaps it is because BFL brings bad Mojo or Shame to the red carpet that is any BitCoin Company? Guilt by association?

Yes even on the map overview of the booths...the booth BFL was at was labeled "BITPAY".

LOL

Yifu gave a talk so AVALON did get mentioned in the conference material. Yifu was like a celebrity. Josh...nope...

[cardcomm]

It's as if they asked themselves "What could we possibly do what would make us look even WORSE right now?"

ROFL! I gotta admit, they have balls of steel. They must be counting on the bulk of their pre-order customers converting to chip orders. BFL has gotta know by now they won't be shipping a working product... at least not one that resembles the initial specs.

Some bitter people in this forum. 

BFL got their long boards in and are going to be working around the clock 24-7 to ship everything out now.  Josh says that everything that has been preordered up to now will ship before 100 days, when the first set of chips would be released.

Considering they are shipping Jalapeno's, the chips themselves are fine.  I tend to believe his timeline of 100 days because that process is largely outside of BFL's hands anyway so there is little for them to screw up. 

It all comes down to whether you believe BFL and Josh (I do) or you don't, like most people posting in this thread (Who will undoubtedly point out for the ten thousandth time their reasoning.) 

They have over ten grand of my money, and I'm completely confident in eventually receiving what I paid for.  That said, I won't be buying chips because I do not have the expertise to build them into viable miners.  I would rather purchase a finished solution.
