Well, at least according to this guys auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BITFORCE-BUTTERFLY-LABS-JALAPENO-5-GH-s-Hashrate-BITCOIN-LITECOIN-ASIC-MINER-/330909603662?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0bbfd74e

He has 4 auctions in all with the same title. Perhaps a quick fraudulent item report to ebay is called for. Hopefully none of his bidders are as stupid as he is.

Roll Eyes

It's incredible to see how people is bidding hard to buy a late preorder (January 2013). This is insanity. The one left holding the Jalapeno preorder will be screwed.

Not really since they're only shipping Jalapenoes right now so the January 2013 order might actually arrive sooner then expected. The bigger units are all being re-designed and hence delayed.

Come on, that order will arrive very late this year, and it won't get a ROI even at the original price.

I'm amazed about how people can be optimistic with a company that fucked over for 8+ months.

At what difficulty/network hashrate does the jalapeño become unprofitable? Sure, it may take months upon months, but all ASICs will still be making profits for at least a full year or two. From some quick numbers I saw, it costs $0.10 in electricity, and makes $30.00 in return per day. At what difficulty would you only make $0.10 a day? I think that number is further than closer.
