BFL starts taking pre-orders for 1TH Imperial Monarch Miners

[rammy2k2]

im sure they will find some fools to believe them

[redled]

By the time you get your unit, if you ever do..... it will mine about the same btc as you would with an toaster oven hooked up to the network.

Good idea,
I have a toaster you can buy. It's a 54th generation toaster, so I know very well how this thing works 
This is the hottest toaster in the world. Once sold for 500BTC, now on sale for just 200BTC

I also host your pre-toasted bread for just 5BTC per month.


Edit after 5 Month:
Ok, I got informed that this toaster doesn't have any network connection, therefor you get now a discount of 0.1mBTC

That toaster came out in 1987 about the same time the BFL Imperial Monarch design was started.

Oh sign me up hurry!! F  BFL!

I've got to admit that miner looks real and i love to be able to use it in PC like a GPU

How would you use it like a gpu? Unless your video games run exclusively on sha256 hash have fun pal.

I'm talking about all the fun tinkering with your everyday pc equipment.
With an asic machine you are as if buying a dell PC.
I'm PC modding enthusiast, i think i like it more than gaming itself.
So with this form I can mine and have fun building a PC at the same time.

That's kind of expensive fun, man.

Especially if most people have to wait a year plus for that fun.

Thank god for BitcoinTalk...

Wow, BFL managed to invent the Time machine before the mining chips..







they will go back in time to ship your product, so don't worry, BFL got it all figured out.

[nlsupernova]

Wait a minute, Josh. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?

Almost finished penning a funny in re. time machine related.

If you're goin' to bring on the funny, at least add a pic (or two, or three, or...).



All your hosted toasters can be remotely overclocked (note the clock).
Security is not an issue at our hosting facility (note the cameras).
Anything hashed can immediately be obfuscated (note the not one, but two mixers).

Before some smart-ass inquires about cooling all them toasters...



At TMF (Toaster Mining Facility), we were the first to introduce internal cameras to view the innards of each and every Toaster Miner, making sure 24/7 that maximum hashing is achieved.



Speaking of 24/7, a myriad backup generators stand at ready in case of the proverbial struck by lighting event.



Unlike other hosting firms, TMF does not farm out its support center to some Third World Country, but is Red-manned right here in the US of A.



Of course, TMF is not just a hosting facility for your precious miners. Far from it. We also build custom Toaster Miners, hence recently acquiring the state-of-the art overflow oven off eBay.



The next time you're in town, please stop by TMF, whereupon our well-trained flock would be happy to give you the grand tour.

Here's the LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shipping Schedule
This is a Pre-Order product which is not yet shipping.  If you're uncomfortable waiting until the development is complete and the product is shipped, do NOT pre-order this product. Perhaps undesirable, but this is a pre-order market.  Customers flatly demand to get in line for the new technology before it's finished development.  This has created a lot of drama for the manufacturers but it's something we simply have to deal with.  All manufacturers in this space have experienced some degree of delay with their first generation ASIC.  Every last one of them, so we're reluctant to give a specific delivery date.  However, this is our second generation, so we have much greater clarity on the process and plan to begin shipments in March 2014.  Orders are shipped in order date priority so any order placed now should be expected to be delivered in June.

All things considered, I think your imaginary  toaster will hash faster than BFL imaginary monarch. Heck you might get ROI for the kick and giggles where monarch never will!

[Unacceptable]

Anybody get the Gameshow email from BFL

Good luck getting them THIS year. Will not trust them again after only getting my single ONE YEAR later.

you guys wanna laugh hard? I mean REAL hard??

look at this BFL forum and see all the idiots who are upgrading their 8 months old Monarch orders to this "Imperial" monarch by paying $744 !!

I really do have sympathy for new miners who get caught by BFL..
but for an idiot whose been promised a 3 month wait, then waits 8 months only to buy more!?
wtf is wrong with people

Lol for 744$ you could buy almost 2 Antminer instant, with ~400Gh/s (the upgrade amount)

Who throw good money in the same hole and dosn't learn? The world is full of idiots, and i am in the wrong business.

A lot of people. Often called "chasing a loss"

I suggest without payment receipt and proof of an order number in an order queue I doubt that is a real person ordering. There are so many faux accounts on the forums at BFL I bet that fake accounts out number the real ones that are active. The customers they trap tend to have a 1 time horrible experience and learn from it. If you see people buying a 2nd or 3rd time they are being paid off more often than not. See BCP as an example. He was such a great customer he bought a 300 gh/s "on sale". He knew they wouldn't deliver or he'd have bet the farm the way he backs BFL.

Sad to say but anything on the BFL forums is pretty much a single voice and has little to do with what real customers want or expect in this market. Antminer if you want something now. Spondoolies if you want to wait a little more. One Strings from Ben are shipping now so those are few options. Not 14 months and still no 28nm chip... you can't reasonably believe that BFL is going to ship these things at all do you?
