... Let us review. August Tape Out was a lie it wasn't completed until December / January? 5 to 6 months late.
Foundry was 20 weeks not 10 weeks.
Bumping Slicing & BGA packaging (testing) was estimated 2 weeks. We are at 4 weeks now and still not tested.
Initial shipments and ramp up to take 3 weeks. Ramp up must include testing of the packaged chips in the Monarch to establish stability. This will take 3 to 4 just on the testing and that is before production can start in earnest. Ok does anyone see any GLARING omissions in the estimates from the past? March? April? I suspect Q3 end of summer if you are lucky. We've been in development for approximately six months. As stated in their October website. So count backwards please with me. October September August July June and May 2013. They have admitted they started development in May 2013. Now let us count forward May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February. 10 months. Still no working chips. Still no working Monarch. Originally promised to ship in the bulk of orders in 15 weeks from mid October website claim. November (4 weeks) December (4 weeks) January (4 weeks) Bulk of orders were not shipped on January 16th or abouts... they still do not have working packaged chips. Man, it works every time, huh? How disappointing to see suckers getting burnt in exactly the same way yet again. I guess it makes sense though since it is hard for noobs to get a good picture of history. I only hope that this latest batch of sucker gets lucky and does OK on yet another unrelated BTC valuation increase. Or at least those who are among the earlier to finally get their gear...if there even are any this time. |

If it wasn't BFL, it would be some mail order scam for $19.95!!! At least the Bitcoin community is robust enough that parasites like BFL and Silk Road are no longer existential threats. |

The test software was returning unexpected results which turned out to be a bug in the testing software and has been (and is being) rewritten from scratch.
I'm no Software Engineer, but can some one give me a rating on the scale of 0 - retarded for this here statement? ...lolz "I was testing and was not happy with the results ...so i rewrote the tests so I got the results i wanted" ...seems legit |

Sure would be a shame if someone suspected the device kicked someone's implanted defibrillator and nearly killed them and reported it. I bet that would get some attention. |

Lol looks like BFL has some direct competition this time around with their PCI cards  https://cointerra.com/product/gsxi/Looks like they'll be releasing about the same time as BFL too  CoinTerra's response to BFL's nonsense:  |

 The radiators should be mounted in the front (in order to intake the coolest air).  Edit: Hmmmm...are there 6 rads in that case?
