Re: Bitcoin ASIC Miner from BFL, finally
#2I ordered the 60gh/s SC Single the night preorderes opened like a year ago. I think there are maybe ~7 orders before me. I hope I get it soon. I paid 220 btc@5.45 usd for it, let's see if its worth it.

#3I doubted that these ASIC rigs would ship any time soon. Wouldn't it be more profitable for the vendors to simply to delay/cancel orders and run the rigs 24/7 themselves?

Totally agree.
Why would anyone wants to sell the goose who lays golden eggs while gold cost more than the goose?
They'll pile up cash from "preorders", mine bitcoins and when time is right - will dump outdated devices to customers.

are there any alternatives to this? and some thing that's already selling them and not pre-orders?

This seems like it would be begging for a class-action lawsuit.
That said, I've half-joked that probability of receiving my miner is probably about 0.98^(USDBTC).

I ordered a Jalepeno almost immediately. I chose to pay by wire, and the email i received included "Your order position won't be penalized for any time it takes to send you this payment information. Please send me an email with a copy of the wire confirmation form. Once payment has been received, I'll respond with final confirmation of your order."
I still haven't paid and am going to now. I wonder if they will honor it or not.

"time it takes to send you this payment information. "
I don't see where it says you won't be penalized for the time it takes for you to make a payment. With that said - I'm curious, did people pay in advance of shipping?

How can one litigate against an entity beyond the jurisdiction of the US court system, e.g. say the rig manufacturer was the crook and not in the United States? What are the options there?
