Yes production started today. We expect to be shipping to customers Thursday and Friday this week and the rest of the units the following week.

Sorry I missed your post.

We will have pictures by Thursday I think. In regards to packaging I don't know yet as I don't handle the packaging/posting etc. The packaging should be similar to the simplistic asicminer style.

200 units have been produced Today and another 400 per day until 1800 is completed.

Why is the planned compensation program for the delay not announced yet?  Considering the current value of the coins, the BFs have now about doubled in price since then.  I hope the compensation package not only considers the delay/difficulty factor but the increase in BTC value as well.  Otherwise, it would make sense just to get a refund for these GBs and wait for the next ones at the adjusted price.  These BFs are never gonna make ROI anyway; not even with the original BTC value when the preorders were placed.  I'm not bashing or trolling on anybody.  Like one poster stated on ssinc's thread, it's nothing personal; it's just business.  The compensation package should already have been announced by now.  Otherwise, it would be a moot point to do it after the fact; when the BFs start shipping tomorrow and refunds will no longer be possible and be stuck with $200 BFs instead of only $100 each when they were originally ordered.

300 units will be shipped out Friday and the following 1500 shipped Tuesday next week.

Just a little photo of units on the production line.



We will announce the compensation after we have completed shipping all the units.

Pretty. Nice work BlueFury!

Did you order any?

No I was just curious when you said you don't mine.  I don't know the exact number of erupters I sold but it's around 1000-1200.  I saved 6 for myself.  Those are 6 very profitable erupters.  I also have 3 dead ones I still have not exchanged.  You could argue those made money too.
And I'll pass on buying any from you.  I have 20 here and 20 in another GB.  But let me know if you get .8 BTC.  I have a feeling the resale market will be competitive.

Incase anyone is wondering why Tuesday and not Monday it is because Monday is a holiday in NZ so the fab has a day off. Holidays are causing some real issues. Units have been shipped today and tracking numbers will be sent out. Shipping will complete Tuesday next week or Wednesday at the latest.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

I would also like to know this info - I'm guessing julz is one as he is a short hop over to Oz, which means with his ability to ship at insane speeds - I'll find a nice surprise when I'm home in a week.
