The worst part is...they were making money with our miners and our funds!  Holding it for several months and profiteering.  Interest free loans are great aren't they?  Until the ppl realize and never deal with you again.


you are right, or some cpl of ppl are still inventing it cuz they didnt have any money to start producing it

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

yesterday a company preordered a million USD worth of those mining cards.  what i dont' get is wouldn't they order KNCminers instead

I doubt someone would invest in Monarch so much. I mean with one million USD one should do some small research before preordering, no  Huh

BFL advertised "Tape out August 2013". Didn't happen in Aug. Didn't happen in Sep. Didn't happen in Oct. Now it's Nov. They're already several months late.

BFL Monarch: 600 GH/s for $4680 delievered long after Feb.
KnC Jupiter: 550 GH/s for $4995 delivered in Nov.

Why would anybody waste a single second considering a BFL product? It's a guaranteed loser, no matter how you pay for it.

Far smarter people have fallen for far more obvious scams unfortunately. This is the world we live in, Josh knows it, and is raking in a handsome profit.

Heeeee.

I took my  Singles, because there is no way they were going to ship this 600Mh/s on time.
The really great thing was sooooo many daft people swapped to the 600MH/s , that it completely cleared down the queue.

Mined the kit for a month… then dumped it on Ebay.
By the time the 600Mh/s ship… they will be more useless than if people had taken the 50/60Mh/s kit……


But you can bet that in a year they will have a 60TH/s rig for some stupid price…… with an upgrade from the 600Mh/S they did not ship…..

And the shipment time is so crazy. I assume that miners are already working and when they worked for couple a months then they are shipped

A $4500 Monarch will be lucky to make $600 back if it starts mining in February. And with BFL that is a big IF.

The customer service was not the issue.

In my mind there are only 3 issues:
  • the nearly 9 month late delivery
  • the extreme amount of noise produced by the unit
  • the high power consumption

At the end of the day I rather be called names by support and get a working product on time. Unfortunately BFL doesn't have much going for them at the moment. Why should I give them another chance? The 600GH/s cards look inferior to competitors since they are more expensive etc... Personally for next generation ASICs I am looking at HashFast and Cointerra.
