Butterfly Labs is the pioneer and has remained the leader of the bitcoin mining hardware industry since 2011.  We are the only 28nm hardware manufacturer with a proven ASIC design.  We have 45 employees, a mature production capacity and supply chain

Well, at least JODY is mature!

Prevention is the best medicine. Don't get BFL'd

[fractal02]

Look at that beauty !
PCI !!!

Meanwhile KNC show us a cheap refurb case....ROFL...

GO BFL !!! GO !!!

 Hear hear !

 I pity any soul that chooses to purchase a product from Butterfly Labs given their sordid history, as documented on these very forums and their own official forums.

 They do not deserve the support the greater Bitcoin community given their well-established contempt for it.

[DeathAndTaxes]

Look at that beauty !

The power of photoshop.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

No they are not! Now, bend over and take it like a man, and better hurry before the price increase, for you know it's coming. If it will make you feel better, use your voucher. That should offset the priority shipping cost. I'm also sure there's a discount in there somewhere if you opt to host at Sonny's, Josh's, Joe's or Jeff Ownby's data center.

[superduh]

they'll probably get sued to oblivion before getting these taped out

[User705]

ROFL so when everyone transfers their order they will magically catch up on all pre-order shipping by september.  Also notice no more credit card option.

[DrJoeGrine]

Can these shmucks get a scammer tag now please BCT?

[Phinnaeus Gage]

PG's head just exploded!

I've already explored thrice and just now got to this post.

Here's a +1.

Madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Given their well-documented sordid history, I can't imagine a credit card processor that would be willing to take the risk with Butterfly Labs.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

I guess BFL was told to stop using PayPal to snare new investors!

Or maybe PayPal does not like to be called "fucking PayPal".

My guess is that PayPal and ALL the credit card companies FIRED BFL as a customer. Rumor has it that it's the in-thing to do. If only I could recall where I read that. HMMMMMmmmmmmm!!!

[OmegaNemesis28]

So someone please find the post from Feb that basically called out BFL for not shipping, told everyone to demand refunds at once, or prepare to be an all fucked until July.
Because everything he predicted has now officially come true.

He nailed the fact that they wouldn't ship until mid summer 2013.
He nailed the fact that they would ship at a snails pace.
He nailed the fact that they would deny refunds.
He nailed the fact that they would give people lip on the Web forums and not offer support or information about the shipping procedures.
And lastly, he claimed that they would need a new product or upgrade to keep up with the current orders. Which is this.

The whole post has now come true. I wish I book marked it. No one fucking listened. Not even me.

I forgot they will probably give you lots of money to advertise this vaporware on the forum.

BFL never had a chance to get a merchant account with a CC company. PayPal has learned their lesson.

To play devils advocate for just a moment:
If BFL just does a reference board + firmware and only resells the chips they pay their contractors to design and the fab to produce, then this product might not be the epic trainwrecks of their previous products.
