Ask HN: Butterfly Labs BTC Mining Rigs, Too Late?

Right. They're saying they'd like to have them all shipped by June. After crunching the numbers I can't see how the difficulty level will go up that hard within 3 months, but who knows? I'm totally into the idea of helping the cause of cyber security, I'm just broke. Right now these machines theoretically have a ~1 week ROI. But if this takes 3 months to get here, and doesn't maintain a less than 3 week ROI...

I just wanted to poll the crowd and see if anyone else has been doing this math and if they have any insight.

It depends when the people in front of you get theirs.

There's a large queue for Butterfly Lab's products. You most likely will not get one in the first batch.
