So I see that BFL has started shipping their 5.0Gh machines. Anyone know how many have been shipped and what the potential wait time on one would be if I ordered today?
if you call 5-15 units send to developers and bloggers shipping, than by all means order away. By the time you get that unit it will be worthless, with hardware companies coming out with 250GH-350GH wouldnt be surprised if we saw 600-1000gh/sec machines by the end of the year.
That is the time butterfly labs will die and probably end up in a legal mess when people pull money from this worthless company.
Be an interesting court case if they cash out and buy into Bitcoins prior. A currency which the US FTC has issues with recognising as a legitimate asset of any value...
