Butterfly Labs 2011: "I would suggest all of you who don't have a pre-existing relationship with the company refrain from making any pre-orders. We appreciate the interest in our product, but the hostility isn't worth it. Please just wait for off the shelf units to be available."

Nice links btw. I been wondering if there was any updates on this stuff a week ago.
Oh when I saw this I just had to emphasise it! That is all anyone needs to know about BFL the business and why people need to buy only on the shelf products.
added: I also found this further down that same link page
-Not one BFL consumer, not a single one out of 20,000 paid-in-full consumers, got a BFL miner on its original ship date. And even if there was a reasonable delay, since this is supposedly very high-tech stuff were dealing with here, and delays do happen, BFL still has literal tons of Monarch orders left to ship almost a year after the original ship date. That’s unreasonable for any company with orders paid-in-full.
