I wonder if there will still be people saying that Butterflylabs is not a Scam after they fail to ship by 2027. Undecided

I guess a year and a few months is not long enough for most folks.

I wonder why there are still idiots saying that BFL is a scam now that they've started shipping.

The answer is because idiots are an infinite resource (dubious resource, granted). I'm dead serious when I say this: We still get people claiming we never shipped any FPGAs. I'm not being dramatic or exaggerating things... literally, we still get that fairly regularly. It's amazing the cognitive disconnect so many people have with regards to reality.

So are you really selling chips before you satisfy all of the customer orders you currently have or is that untrue as well?

A perfect example of my above statement. Thank you for providing it.

Well, all I can say is - I got my fpga order ahead of the estimated delivery date. And promptly ordered sc upgrades when they were offered. I know BFL intends to deliver my SC products as well. Sure it would have been nice to have them last year... but you guys aren't putting rounded corners on a cell phone here... or reinventing something that's already been done 1000 times before - you're creating a cutting edge product. I understand how much work and time that can take. As an aside, I find it highly ironic given all the obstacles BFL has had to overcome in the last year to get the products shipping, that the other guys are still behind on mh/s/j. Mythical mismanagement issues aside...

Speaking as a customer my only discontent with BFL was the previous lack of communication with customer. So I just wanted to take this chance to publicly thank you specifically Josh for going above and beyond on correcting that, it's really nice to get updates and your actual customers really do appreciate all of your hard work (not to mention everybody else at over at BFL).

You are quite welcome and you're quite correct. It's taken a lot of work to get to this point and we are pretty set going forward. It's unfortunate that we were late with the product, but we do have the most advanced chip and board out there, the next few months should prove fairly interesting.
