For those of you who are donating hash power, I recommend setting up our BitMinter account as a backup. Here are the details:

Nice, good to have a backup pool for next time.
You still think BFL will ship? No way.
I'm confident BFL will ship a product, or provide meaningful compensation, or both. They are already providing us with cloudmining. Compared to Black Arrow, Butterfly Labs is the bees knees. I will reserve judgement until I get the product I paid for and can evaluate it. Any other response would be motivated by fear.
We have been working on a way to make everyone happy and I think we have come up with a pretty good plan. We are finalizing the details this week, so I should have at least preliminaries details for everyone in the next few days hopefully. As a former miner, I would be happy with the plan. I realize it may not satisfy everyone, but I think it will go a long way to making everyone comfortable with their purchase and address the above issue(s) as well.
They'll most likely deliver and the chips will be among the most efficient available for a while to come. It's time get those monarchs hashing away!
