BitForce SC - full custom ASIC

[jamesg]

At least they're consistent....

Well, they promised a June 15th announcement, yet it's past closing time in their part of the world...  June 16th then?

Sarcasm aside.... Did they specify June 15, 2012 ?

Yes:

Announcements regarding abbreviated shipping schedules and future product (BitForce SC) release will be made on June 15th

But it doesn't say 2013, neither does it say 2012.

That is true...

If I worked at BFL, I don't think I would be able to go home and enjoy my weekend without saying something to the effect of "Sorry guys, we know we said there would be an announcement today but due to {insert excuse here} it doesn't look like that will happen.  The good news is it allowed us to focus on shipping out more Mini Rigs today.  We don't know when we'll be able to make the announcement, but we expect we will have something for you in the next 2 weeks."

Guys, read carefully:

Announcements regarding abbreviated shipping schedules and future product (BitForce SC) release will be made 4-6 weeks after June 15th.  Until then we will be focusing purely on Mini Rig shipments.

They still have time left.

Five hours if they're going by a time zone that they're not in

If I worked at BFL, I don't think I would be able to go home and enjoy my weekend either, as all of the good drugs seem to be back at the BFL shop, because they would have to be fucking HIGH to think that their business model will continue to prove successful.

I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall for a day at BFL, just to see their reactions to all of the 'respect' that their customers have for them. Unfortunately I am not a customer, because I am unwilling to wait for the next coming of Christ to receive my mining hardware, while paying for the opportunity to pull my hair out at the roots, ALL IN ADVANCE.

At least they are smart enough to realize that their shit would NEVER fly without 100% pre-payment up front. Partial deposits or unpaid pre-orders would simply be too easy to walk away from after 2-3 months of sitting with your thumb up your ass.....

WTF ? Pre-Order, no 100% paid-up-front ?, reasonable delivery ?

What is this community coming to, when a company actually does what it promises to ?....OMFG

Hey BFL, how about pulling your heads out of your asses and taking a queue from another company that seems to be in a SIMILAR (although not even close as it seems) Industry to your own....

Do you know how much money they've brought in from selling minirigs and singles without shipping them? Why do you assume they're not in Tahiti? That would give them another 7 hours.

So I guess this is what we get for an announcement? This was not up earlier today even though it says the 14th, so it might have been posted in the last couple hours. I think the last time I checked with 3PM. (Pacific)

From another thread:

Yes, we'll be posting more information about the SC products later on tonight.  At the moment we're packing first run Mini Rigs after having completed initialization of the production line.

Someone didn't read carefully

Yes, we'll be posting more information about the SC products later on tonight this eon.  At the moment we're packing first run Mini Rigs mining until the postman gets here after having completed initialization dusting of the production line due to the many fans your the mini rigs.

FTFY!

Really though, BFL is doing well at what they're doing. They have the best mh/$ value mining hardware, therefore the advantage of being able to do whatever they want with their business model. If you have any complaints, don't buy from them. It really is as simple as that.

But then what will we have to complain about?

FYI - We've created a new thread in the hardware section to cover the topic of our SC products release:

when can i pre-order, and whats the aprox. ship date...


im ready to place an order asap 

[Garr255]

I really hope trade ins will receive priority!

I placed an order for a mini rig, just a month back, the way i see it. If there is a 6 month gap from the time the last FGPA mini rig ships and the 1st ASIC based SC starts shipping, I am good. The current projected ROI on the mini rig is 6 months. I hope BFL considers that the current customers get first priority.

Cheap enough ?
