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.
