I know may I have been an idiot buying from them.

 Knowing is half the battle. Ask for a refund if you regret your purchase so soon.

[YipYip]

I would really like to hear from ANYONE (exluding the usual socks) who was in the Unicorn blood first batch

Oh u missed the first batch & the second ...actually u ended up at the 27th...YEAH Right

[Unacceptable]

Looks like they got another month delay just few days after they start taking orders...

Typical BFL

4PH/S I think is a low estimate of what the network will hit next year. More like 20 maybe.

Petahashes are the new Terrahashes

I seriously doubt anyone will see their Monarch cards until at least March of next year. With the current backlog that BFL cant seem to overcome nor honor it sounds like a pretty good timeline.

They may get the first prototype before Q2/2014 but given how slow they ship current orders you will be lucky to get it in Q2/2014

Did anyone else make this connection?

Wait you ordered from BFL... have I got a great game to try.

[batt01]

Go ahead and line up for Monarch pre orders. We need some entertainment for last half of 2014 by then I may have my April 4 2013 order in hand and the thousands of 2012 preorders willl at last be fulfilled.

 What part of the BFL Centipede are You?

Unbelievable.

Shouldn't it be Centipede Labs Monarch?

As Josh would ask, "Whats your fixation with centipedes?"

Dude, it's not like it was $7M USD in the past 9 days or something. Oh, wait...

[Bicknellski]

Hi,

Few days ago I ordered 2 Monarch cards from BFL.

When I ordered they say delivery is estimated in October/November.

Now I see the first batch is sold out (http://www.butterflylabs.com/monarch/)

But the delivery dates they publish for the sold out dates are... "November/December"

Looks like they got another month delay just few days after they start taking orders...

If they finish the "tape out" few few days ago and at that time they estimate 60-90 days what can change now to get an estimation of 90-120 days.

With 60-90 days was a risky bet to buy... with 120 is a suicide.

I know may I have been an idiot buying from them.

Regards

Investopedia explains 'Bait And Switch'

The bait and switch tactic has gained notoriety in the mortgage market as an unscrupulous marketing tactic meant to drive business. In a mortgage bait and switch an agent or company will post exceedingly low mortgage rates, knowing full well that the vast majority of applicants will be unable to qualify for these teaser rates. Once customers begin to come into the office to inquire about the low rate, the agent will proceed to offer them the higher rates they are more likely to qualify for, thus earning greater commission.

A seasoned bitcoin miner might explain the 'BFL Bait And Switch'

The bait and switch tactic has gained notoriety in Bitcoin as BFL used this unscrupulous marketing tactic meant to drive increased presales when they run low on funds for future product development. In the BFL bait and switch they post exceedingly short shipping dates and untested or unverifiable specifications on a yet to be designed ASIC miner knowing full well that the vast majority of applicants will be "unable" to pre-order before the these teaser early shipping dates are sold out. Once customers begin to pre-order BFL then changes the shipping date on the later orders to February 2014 from the originally proposed November December dates proceed. Thus securing BFL more funds for developing these miners they do not even have any gerbers files or tested units to base the claims they specified. Further the people still waiting for their original orders of ASIC miners are left wondering why the company is pushing newer hardware given they have failed to ship 85% of the orders they already have and have failed to miss every shipping projection they posted since October 2012.

holy fuck, human stupidity is really endless.

WHY is nice looking page and greed always stronger than common sense?

[RChevalier]

I know may I have been an idiot buying from them.

You should probably email them and ask for a refund before they can give you the "we can't refund now because we are shipping" excuse, and hope for the best.
