Let's hope they just have been so busy shipping they didn't update us yet.

Still no one with shipping notifications? Any update BFL? I know I wouldn't be in the batch but still would like to know.

Nada. But aren't predictions based on next week, not this one? It's true that he said yesterday would be a "big shipping day", but anything could happen. And like other people said, some people were getting tracking numbers the day they arrived, even after it arrived sometimes. I wouldn't worry much. |

How considerate of them to give us numbers confirming we actually received our BFL products  |

I, for one, would like to see an update directly from BFL. They said on the 6th that a "great number" of singles would be shipped the following day. And then.....nothing. What happened??  |

They probably didn't send shipping notifications to anyone to save time.

Must be tempting for them to decide to "soak test them a little longer" while the BTC price is at 5.5.
They are earning $2.5 a day for each single sat there in "test".
$600 today or $2.5 per day (after electricity!)... that is like having a 150% annual return savings account.
And they have no risk of the BTC/USD price dropping or difficulty rising (as just ship them then and get the $600), and do not care about the pending drop to 25BTC per block as will have their $600 by then.
Guess we are all the mugs!

Wait, maybe they knew I was going on vacation and so they decided not to ship anything because I wouldn't be able to update the list. That's pretty nice of them actually.

I understand that there are lead times, manufacturing delays, and quality assurance needs that must be met to deliver a quality product. That being said if BFL wanted to make good and help increase their standing within the mining community, upon confirmation of purchase they should ask you for a "test" pool account of your choice. That way when "your" device(s) are in QC being tested/burned in, YOU the owner are benefiting. This would elevate some of the sting of paying up front and not seeing your product for around 60 or so days. |

IIRC BFL stated that they don't mine with them, they push through a known data set that would (should) generate a specific set of results. Then again, who knows. |

Then again, who knows. yea sure, they would have to be stupid to do that... any intelligent person running a company would see that electricity costs money and having them mining would reduce those costs, so why would anyone plug them to a fake tester when you can run a the stuff in a real pool and make real money? |

Because it is proper engineering practice? Provide a known input to a device to ensure a known / correct output comes out is standard testing technique. |

Derr so you can be sure the output is correct? You don't run tests in a live environment when you're trying to quality check a product... that's QA 101. You run your tests against a known good data set with known results and compare what you get from the unit.

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.
