From Josh:

https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/4414-monarch-information.html


First Chips Jan 9th

Slicing and Dicing of Chips Jan 16th

Testing and Firmware Jan 23rd

Mounting of Chips on boards Jan 30th

then shipping can begin.


In the past, not once has BFL and its suppliers been able to accomplish any of the tasks listed above in a week.


Still being quoted at:
https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/600-gh-bitcoin-mining-card.html

"However, this is our second generation, so we have much greater clarity on the process and we feel our timeline to begin shipments towards the end of the year is solid"


My opinion, based on past performance is expect day 1 orders in March.

Not at all. I learned my lesson from first pre-order from this company.

Nobody reads the forums. You have to go by the product page:

Quote
November / December    Initial Shipping

Quote
Our 28nm competitors have never delivered

Quote
Since this is our 2nd generation ASIC chip, we're largely free of risk from the pitfalls normally associated with a new chip design.

Quote
Shipped more ASIC than all competitors combined

I hope KNCs 20nm chip is in hand before the BFL 28nm sees the light.

At this rate I'd say KNC has a good shot even if they dont make Q1

Even if he bets he'll just welch on it when he loses:

Depends on how deep the queue depth is... KNC & Cointerra are selling out devices that won't ship till April or May as we speak, in the $3-4/GH range. Hardware that ships in March at $6-8/GH could still be profitable.. perhaps.

What happened to the original timeline that they removed. Did they somehow magically find a way to cut nearly 3 months off that plan? Or are they just doing creative timeline management again? Or because they were supposed to deliver what was it again? August tape out and December delivery? Amazing how 4 months disappears.

15 weeks total from tape out or nearly 4 months. Let us be generous and say they have completed tape out. No proof or statement yet to that effect.

Dec
Jan
Feb
Mar

If it is before March that be a surprise. My guess summer.

BFL, always consistent with delays and doublespeak.

Rich customers going poor? At this point anyone who ordered the Monarch deserves the delay.

-----------------------

Are they going to roll the first batch from November into the February/March batch? Or did February and March also get pushed back into infinity and beyond?

Let's see if BFL can deliver something before KNC gets their neptunes out, at this rate it looks quite good for KNC ;p
