[FAILED]Butterfly Labs 30 day countdown to the end of September

[joeventura]

With 3 days left looks like it going to be:

Jalapenos:  3/6/2013  (outsourcers are real sloooow starters)  (miss by 54 days)

Little Singles: 1/25/2012  (Must have ran out of parts..........again)  (miss by 118 days)

Singles: 2/21/2013  (I was close on this one) (miss by 68 days)

MiniRig: 8/1/2012  (Also close on this one)  (miss by 274 days)


Only going to miss it by over 500 days Josh!!   Good thing you didn't promise.

The COO title is clearly honorary. You clearly don't have a clue about the Operations of your company otherwise you would not have missed this goal by so much!

Timer removed. End time: 2013-10-01+05:00:59UTC

Your estimates appear pretty close. Glad to see they are shipping lots of units though. It was definitely a huge backlog. At this rate they may actually catch up by the end of October, aside from the minirigs.

I would consider this good news for the bitcoin community in general, as people can soon focus their energies on productive endeavors as opposed to being mired in muck writing tirades over late preorders. Glad to see this chapter in asic developments coming to a close. It is tough to create an entire industry from scratch. BFL was not the first to run into problems, and they won't be the last. But I doubt any others will ever garner this much negative attention.

I agree.  Judging from the flurry of activity on the BFL chip buy threads on the Group Buy forum, they're going to nail those chip buys right at the 100 day mark.  And there's no reason to believe that any of KnC, CoinTerra, HastFast, or the Monarchs will be late.

Praise the Lord and pass the AC power.

Here is one more prediction for you,

See how they are banging out those singles at the rate of like 13-15 pay dates everyday?

Now you figure "Hey I ordered in March or April I should have my order shipped next week!"

WRONG!

In 2, no more than 3 working days the shipping of singles will hit a wall and it will be June 23rd all over again. We will get to the first week of March by Monday/Tuesday time frame then it will take 2 months to get to the end of April.

Stay tuned!!

[06:33 PM]   Bitdude : your talking shipping to a "real" customer and not some "golden boy" type right?
[06:33 PM]   LibreCoin : "see there, we shipped!"
[06:33 PM]   BFL_Jonathon : Bitdude, there is no such distinction.

Hollll llllly fucking lies. SCAM AND RUN! is their new tactic apparently. Four days until they ship Monarchs? Totally laughable

He doesn't speak for BFL, He is betting a BTC to stir the pot.

Wait a minute, he's betting 10:1 AGAINST shipping Oct. 1? Sounds like even BFL doubts BFL.

Either way Josh will deny it or ignore it.

You are probably a little high but either way its going to be a frickin brick wall

BFL dont deserve to be associated with Bitcoin based on how they treat their customers , BFL ads , group buys e.t.c should be not be allowed on this forum.

I too am disgusted at their constant bullcrap, its really bad PR for bitcoin when shit companies liie bfl claim to be powering majority of the network hashrate, they are horrible fraudsters and are making bitcoin look really bad

[vayvanne]

Many of complaints to Cansas BBB were closed with resolution that company that is BFL did reasonable offer to resolve the issue and consumer did not accept that? What offer about they are talking about? I am not very well with English, could anybody explain please? Is that offer one more delivery time promise?

Well, its just turned September 30 here and it's an exciting day, the day BFL ships several thousand units to catch up with all the preorders as promised.
