I hope they turn up before Xmas, the group buy started Aug 2nd. this is starting to become a BFL saga.

BFL didn't lie to me, they just took 7mths to ship my Jalapenos.

Well ok, 6.5mths. but it felt like 7mths!

I was not one of the pre-order bunch before April, I didn't order until they had demonstrated working prototypes.

So how far off the time they claimed they would ship are they? Maybe you just didn't read when the boards would ship when you ordered? Sounds like someone swallowed a bitter pill this morning.

Post #39 is the closest I found to a timescale.

If it takes 6 weeks to complete your chip order, do you expect you'll be able to meet your October deadline?

I'm interested but after my experience with Avalon and K16s I'll need some encouragement.

Hey Sprint.

Just to clarify, we're not promising an October delivery. We have been told that we will get our hands on the Bitfury chips in October. Once we get the chips, our manufacture turnaround will be quite quick, somewhere in the realm of one to two weeks.

Thing is, there is nothing we can do about when the chips get to us. Having bought into Avalon based stuff myself and still not seen anything, i fully understand your trepidation. As with everything in bitcoin mining land, actually getting stuff when people say you will get it is often pretty dubious. In my communications with megabigpower, from whom we are getting the chips, it seems pretty solid to me that they will indeed be shipping in October, however to be perfectly honest, i will not be surprised if there are delays. Look at the way things have played out with BFL and Avalon.

I know that probably doesn't sound super reassuring, but i am trying to be as honest as i can. What i can promise is that we will do the board manufacture as soon as we get the chips, so if they do come in October, then late Oct / early Nov delivery will happen. Here's hoping there are no crazy delays on chip delivery. I do feel confident based on the communications i have had, but you never no.

Rest assured though, we have our end of things covered.

That was the timeline I remember seeing. They explained the situation very well, and since the chips didn't come till early November, this is the expected timeline. I think comparing this to BFL or Avalon at this point is pretty unfair! We all took a risk by preordering, and of course we all wish they had shipped earlier! At least we're not dealing with multimonth delays like cointerra and hashfast, for much more expensive systems. Hopefully we will mine some good coin, and I still feel these devices will be very profitable for fiat, and more profitable in BTC than buying BTC now. Hell, even my early asicminer blade is profitable in fiat now! I'm in mining for a hobby that also turns a profit, not as a get rich quick plan, so perhaps my views are different on the subject.

I ordered a NF1 Bitfury based USB stick project from the group buys section, on Oct 19th, and it was shipped out 3 weeks later. That group buy didn't start until mid September, some 5-6weeks after this one started, they also ordered their reel from Megabuypower.

Wait, so they are only four days ahead of this group buy and you're complaining? That could easily be due to different supply chains or numerous other reasons. Little soon to start calling BFL wouldn't you say?

Where do you get 4 days from? I suggest you read the NF1 group buy three properly.

[Swimmer63]

Later than ideal / scheduled / hoped for / planned on?  Yes.  But not remotely like BFL.
But you know what they say about opinions......

Hi, I am adding your products to my page, but it seems that you have two different prices quoted on your website, which is different from the ones posted in the OP of this thread.

Because math? You said you ordered the device on Oct 19th and it shipped three weeks later. That would be November 9th, so whoops, it shipped five days ago, not four days ago. Unless your math is off?

Ah, adjacent key typo, I ordered Oct 10th. not the 19th., NF1 orders shipped Nov 5th. so technically 3.5weeks. and it was only 0.63BTC inc shipping when BTC/USD was $123, but that's another story.

I just sent bobsag a message requesting daily updates from him since those of us in the US are now relying on him to ship and it sounds like he knows the status of the boards.  At least according to his last post...

Time to pipe down with this BFL nonsense...we're a bit behind, but hopefully we'll see our hardware shortly.

I can confirm this- nothing private about it.

Exactly..................sheesh erk,there you go again earning your name 

BFL=1 YEAR LATE!!!!!!!!

"On time" is a little bit charitable. The original shipping date was expected to be mid-October to early-November. We're now into mid-November and nothing has shipped yet. Given the updates, it's reasonable to expect things to ship soon, so we're far, far, far from a BFL or even Avalon situation, but we also aren't "on time" either.
