That's the best you're gonna find. Steven/user5560 did a good job... Yes you could count the green lines like everyone else, or make yourself a script... but BFL does not announce total orders and the likes. It is all hearsay beyond what they tell you(which is nothing)

Are there numbers on how many pre-orders (or total GH/s) ButterflyLabs already received?
