Whats funny about this prototype is two things: 1. The absence of ASICs 2. The presence of FCC ETC and CE logos on a device that clearly has never had power run through it.

At the rate refunds are being forced on BFL there may not be huge backlogs left but BFL will still fail to ship even the tiny remaining units in time I guess, Josh & BFL could have handled the situation much better being humble & polite , I dont know who in their right mind is willing to place any more trust in BFL & place orders with them until unless being forced to go down that road. I eagerly await for countdown thread to BFL filing bankruptcy.

screw the backlog. those dummies should have paid to upgrade. hard at work!
Do you remember how long it took between seeing their first FPGA board and their single shipping in any meaningful volume? I actually dont, was it a year or so? Do you remember we saw populated 65nm asic boards almost exactly a year ago, and most people are still waiting (and will keep waiting for the rest of the year) ? Going by BFL trackrecord, seeing a PCB picture today, you would be lucky to get a monarch before Christmas 2014

I really like how Josh capitalizes "...TWO WEEKS!" like he is spoofing himself/BFL and finds himself the comedian You know what's funny Josh? The fact that you are the butt end of your joke. Shameless So glad I got my thousands of $$$ back with chargeback

All Paypal refunds are final. In case anyone thinks Josh isn't reading this thread, I can confirm that he is. He really hates his image being used and keeps complaining to the moderators about it being used here. I think what he really hates is that he can't moderate this forum himself. There's just no delete button for all these pesky posts. Free speech sucks, hey Joshy?

"How are you justifying these as fair use? They are clearly and unequivocally a copyright violation." "I really want to know how you justify that under the fair use doctrine? It does not conform to a single point of fair use." Josh whining about people reusing his studio portrait shot on this forum. Can you copyright a copyright complaint? All Paypal refunds are final.

There's just no delete button for all these pesky posts. Free speech sucks, hey Joshy? As pissy as this is, it, and your signature, are funny. Kind of reminds me of when Konstantine AG, which owns the rights to Downfall (the scenes in the Hitler parodies are from that movie) started to complain to Google and file takedowns. As fast as they were taken down, others came up with Hitler finding out about them being forced to be taken down. Konstantine finally figured out that having your images as part of an intenet meme wasn't bad for business, and, in fact, the entire subtitled movie was/is available on YouTube. I know. I watched it. Spoiler: All the Germans in the bunker die, except for the secretary. (And, some say, Bormann, the chubby guy standing in the corner in the parodies. But that's another, tin-foil-hat, 75 years-ago issue for historians now)

Parody is protected by freedom of speech, so stop using the original picture and go back to hats and clown noses and put the word "parody" in the corner and you are fine!! If Perez Hilton can do this: http://perezhilton.com/2008-06-10-quote-of-the-day-242#sthash.VFOikAmA.dpbsto celebs, you can do the same to Josh

Welcome back.
As predicted, BFL has hit the brick wall in shipping and Singles, little singles and Jalapenos have slowed to about 1/4 of what they were shipping at, they finally are trying to catch up with Mini-Rigs at the expense of everything else.
After all this time you would have thought that they would try and get everything in Sync.
Not going to happen.
We are 1 week into Josh's "2 Weeks or so" to clear backlog to April 30 and shipping volumes continue to reflect (as predicted) that "Two weeks or so" will be the usual 2+ months.

Damn straight! But isnt it funny seeing the BFL forums filled with KNC miner talk? It's just as Unfunny as josh saying "TWO WEEKS or so..." and we give him three which is almost a month, Sound familliar? PRE-ORDER NOW!!, SHIPPING NEXT MONTH!, PRODUCTS IN FINAL STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT!!x7 What was his excuse Each month? "oh just 2-3 weeks until we get X sorted out"

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.
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!! Prediction comes true, right on schedule. And what is pathetic, is I can figure this out why can't monkey boy Josh?
