Wow, that's bad, is that really real?!
That's pretty brazen if it's in-fact a real advertisement. It's outright false advertising if so. BFL don't lie therefore it must be facebook's fault. Expect BFL's lawyers to be on the case if you haven't been keeping them too busy  |

1) I have to hand it Facebook, I have never used something so much that I hate with such a passion and cannot bring my stupid, weak human brain to delete the account as many times as I've hovered the link and read about account closure:  2) but of course BFL is far greater evil. Yes, they have approved and paid for an ad citing 72 hour shipping. I read somewhere that the link this ad takes you to is not actually BFL... Micon - did you click on the link? EDIT: btw - the 'somewhere' I read it at is: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1jwx4u/warning_this_facebook_ad_is_a_scam_if_you_click/ |

so like... you are allowed to blatantly trick facebook users with a wrong URL in your ad?
how is this up days later?
Sorry for being a n00b it seems like a really huge hole in FB ads...
with BFL being one of the filthiest companies around the ad really didn't shock me all that much. In fact it seemed like a logical next marketing step as they circle the drain.

Agreed ... the idea that it was real and not fake ..shows what level of morality is expected from this group of conmen |

quote BFL forum "ASIC Pre-Shipment Testing Policy OR why shipment is so slow Ever since BFL started shipping orders , I was wondering why it is taking them so long to fulfill everything If it takes only 5 min to assemble , units should have been flying out the door . If they have `problems with the supply chain and it is not solved by now , 3 months into shipping , somebody needs to pay the price and go home. Maybe they don't work hard or long hours ? This could be an option as well . I like to look at this from a different angle Every unit that is built , goes through a 'burn in' test . Running the unit for 24 hours to make sure its ok . This is a great policy and I am very happy about it . But ... Lets talk numbers , and I must state its my assumptions : According to Josh , Jala will be built at the rate of 400 units a day . Let's assume they are at 100 units a day . This is equal to 500GH (+-10%)
60x30GH = 1.8TH
30X50GH= 1.5TH
One mini rig = 500GH
This total to 5.3-5.5 TH , running on 24/7
At the current difficulty , this comes to 6.5k$ . Every day . Nice
Now , why should I hurry and ship ? Maybe I am wrong here and I like to apologize if I am . The fact that BFL activities are not transparent to their customers , makes me wonder" https://forums.butterflylabs.com/jalapeno-single-sc-support/4233-asic-pre-shipment-testing-policy-why-shipment-so-slow.html |

With some celebration, it looks like the first 2013 ordered Jalapenos might ship this week! OMFG. Can you imagine being someone who ordered 1.5TH/s mini-rig in the summer of '12? You probably wouldn't see your third unit until next year at which point you'll be able to order 1.5TH/s for $5k. |

My prediction is that it will take 2 more months for all the Jallys to be caught up.

Sorry brother, it just gets so much worse. Have you looked at: http://bfl.ptz.ro/ ? 83 Jally in January to Clear then 226 in February then 414 in March and then 941 in April and that is assuming http://bfl.ptz.ro/ is accurate which you know it is on the low side. |

Can this really be Thursday? Shipping Update

Jalapenos: January 21, 2013
Little Singles: Oct. 11, 2012 pay date
Singles: July 5, 2012 pay date
MiniRigs: MiniRigs for June 23 (2nd 500gh/s unit) and July 28 for 1st 500 gh/s
Observations:
People who ordered Jalapenos usually only ordered one.
People who ordered Singles often ordered 3, 6, 12 or more.
People who ordered in January hardly wrote us any emails.
People who order MiniRigs don't ask for refunds ... Jalapenos recently have been going out at about a weeks worth or orders per day. |

I just received my Little Single ordered on 10/07/2012 and received it today 08/22/2013. Luckily hashing away at 30.5Gh/s, although this thing is as loud as my old 5970.

Pull the loud fans out and replace it with the types that has the switch to change speeds. |
