Wow! So much negativity here.... BFL should have their backorders fulfilled by August 2013. Reputable people have received and are mining with their Jalapenos: https://twitter.com/BFL_News Why be so negative when in reality you don't know anything? You must be one of the jealous ones that missed the price of the unit before it nearly doubled...

Why all the negativity?

Because those who are mining with older tech are hoping and praying that BFL is a scam so they can keep mining at the current difficulty. Cause otherwise their mining days are numbered unless they buy some ASICs also. Even if BFL were a scam (and it's not) those days will soon be over anyway. The total hashrate (and therefore the difficulty) will be exponentially higher within 6 months. No doubt about it. If it's in the 70TH's today it will be no less than 700 or 1000TH's in 6-9 months.

The REAL problem is that BFL is NOT a scam. That's a bigger problem. In 9-12 months, paying $2500 for 50GH will be a losing proposition unless the value of BTC hits $500 US. It's going to be hard to break even when 50GHs is a tiny % of the processing power. The difficulty is about to skyrocket. The value of BTC has to rise with the difficulty or mining won't make sense. <- remember this

Most of the people who paid and then got pissed off for not receiving anything have already demanded a refund. Might still be pissed and feel screwed, but those aren't the one's here complaining.

And to all those who keep questioning if BFL is just mining with the gear.. gawd! I'm a noob and I know that's not happening. It would be easy to tell. Do some investigating on blockchain.info or something.

And finally, who got an email saying that they're not shipping until october? Really? Cause I didn't get mine yet. Did they only send it to some people who ordered?

Couldn't have said it better. They wont mine with their own hardware when they make more money off selling the hardware to us. The faster they ship product the more they make. That is their goal. To assume anything else is just silly.
