Title: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT about Butterfly Labs, what to say? Post by: Entropy-uc on March 27, 2013, 04:03:17 AM I have purchased on slot in next weeks ad round for an ad warning newbs about BFL. I am looking for suggestions on content, and formatting.
My first thought is the following text: WARNING: Butterfly Labs has a long history of failing to deliver as promised. Paying for their incomplete ASIC could be a huge money loser. Anybody know some HTML to make that pretty? Any other suggestions? Coins sent to 1LuyJib375mAcyQLBJtT9sMNoQzKp2jcSx will be used to bid on future ad slots. Title: Re: PSA about Butterfly Labs what to say? Post by: PuertoLibre on March 27, 2013, 04:09:31 AM What are the ad rules for the content?
Any imagery or only formatted text? Title: Re: PSA about Butterfly Labs what to say? Post by: miter_myles on March 27, 2013, 04:23:22 AM Title: Re: PSA about Butterfly Labs what to say? Post by: PuertoLibre on March 27, 2013, 04:25:33 AM I assume they do allow linking within BitCoinTalk.
I suggest you build a eye catching text that [supposedly] leads people to a great deal for BFL hardware and then hit them with a well concieved post or image that will tell them the truth. What they are about to purchase has had nothing but heartache for customers. The CS agent is an asshole (king of the assholes) and they never deliver on time. The first hit should be breaking the myths of the "get rich quick scheme" followed by real *disappointed* customer quotes. A BFL customer would have to be extremely retarded to go ahead with the purchase. I would recommend keeping in mind there are two kinds of customers. !) The ones with high expectation. (so burst their bubble with actual reality) !) The newbies who assume they will make a ton of cash but don't know anything about who BFL is, what they do and don't do, and what they can actually expect. God knows the BFL forum is now a major repellent to any newbie who thinks of purchasing or does purchase and changes their mind after reading all the crap that goes on.

I don't have time to set up a web site, but if anyone would like to I would link to it. The site needs to stick to facts. Or you could create a BitcoinTalk thread in the off-topic section and that way you could allow other members to give them a good straight talk after the initial reality shock treatment. (heh) For now I was thinking of linking to an original thread from the announcement of October delivery last June. I find it strange that those threads are buried in 'Off-Topic' I'll be around to help you as much as I can.I want to stick to simple facts that dash cold water in the face of newbs. The cult followers cannot be helped. And I have no sympathy for fools and their money. But I hate that many people's first experiences with Bitcoin is being ripped off. This is my public service to Bitcoin. It deserves more from me, but it's a start. Title: Re: PSA about Butterfly Labs what to say? Post by: theymos on March 27, 2013, 04:46:35 AM I suggest you build a eye catching text that [supposedly] leads people to a great deal for BFL hardware Ads can't be deceptive like this. Before anyone suggests it: For legal reasons and to avoid too much drama, you can't make assertions of fact that are potentially damaging and possibly false. For example, you can't say, "BFL is a scam," or, "BFL will never deliver." You can say, "BFL is probably a scam," or, "BFL is unlikely to deliver." OP's text is acceptable. Title: Re: PSA about Butterfly Labs what to say? Post by: PuertoLibre on March 27, 2013, 04:54:58 AM Myths Wiki (BFL):
--I'll get it quick! Truth: Pre-Ordering began in June of 2012. The original slated delivery date was scheduled and predicted for October 2012 As of April 2013 no one currently posses any BFL ASIC hardware. --I'll get rich quick! Truth: To date, no one has received their BFL ASIC hardware. The current rate of reward for the BitCoin system was halved in November/December of 2012. This means that your BitCoin reward has since been halved. To date, only customers of competing products have been able to reap the rewards of ASIC implementations. BFL has long been delayed as the last competitor in the field without a working ASIC implementation. --I don't mind the wait, it will eventually pay off anyway! Truth: After the reward block was reduced by 50%, many BitCoin miners have found that the difficulty in producing blocks has only increased. This is due to the nature and intended design of BitCoins reward system. The more ASICs come online, the higher the difficulty climbs as people share the rewards and rising difficulty. --How many people am I competing against to receive this reward? Truth: It is currently estimated that BFL has several thousands customers in line waiting to receive their (as of yet) undelivered product. Estimates on delivery may be as long as several months through BFL. The current difficulty of 6 million+ should yield at most about 4 to 6 BitCoins per day. In the near future, this amount is very likely to be reduced even further. Title: Re: PSA about Butterfly Labs what to say?

In traditional media the media company would run Josh's ad over yours even if you outbid him since the future income from Josh far outweighs the future income from this campaign. It'll be interesting to see if the threat of BFL advertisement boycott of bitcointalk outweighs the set rules of the ad auction. (Also interesting to see if BFL sees this as a long term threat or a minor inconvenience. They will boycott if it is a threat and ignore it if they think it is an inconvenience). popcorn time...

This is my public service to Bitcoin. It deserves more from me, but it's a start. Seriously Man!! Youre awesome.. I went through an ordeal i wouldnt wish my experience on anyone, the stress, the anxiety, the anticipation and then the heartbreak x 2!! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=85.0 I can only imagine going through all that and then paying up only to have nothing.. 7-8 months later! On the page i linked to i spoke about sentiment and how it carries over > brands , people, companys , communitys. Its something that rubbed me the wrong way during the short time ive been here! People are near riot level in their heads regarding BFL and every page is plastered with BFL ads.. From a community stand point the shadow reflection it leaves everywhere is bothersome to say the least. Its not till youre here a bit that you suddenly see the veins pulsing as people get animated during discussion about BFL and you realize .. Wait a minute here! There is a rampant sentiment and its breeding.. Its the reason people are throwing tomatoes the minute they hear new asic miner company... Its self propelling and leads to rage and trolling and a general feeling of untrustworthy.. -->> This gradually gravitates to other threads and leeches on to other subjects and before you know it you have a community of scammers just taking advantage of one another !!! From the fpga/asic miner companys down to payment processors and even people hosting asics for groups .. Sometimes as in my case pointing a finger and stacking blame doesnt really help at all.. Im just out some loot and missed my chance of getting a miner from a company i want to support! <----! I didnt get scammed so to speak but my experience has been rough to say the least. I wouldnt wish it anyone not even the trolls.. ---- That said ! Entropy-uc youre awesome for starting this thread! I hope youre sentiment runs rampant and encourages other people , brands and companys to act in a manner that reflects a supportive community at least one that doesnt prey on people! If you dont think those ads arent preying on noobs think again!! Title: Re: PSA about Butterfly Labs what to say? Post by: Warhawk24 on March 28, 2013, 03:04:09 AM This entire thread is pure WIN!

But is the linked thread really a great starting point for newbies? If someone is new to 'the scene', and has just seen one of BFL's ads, then I don't think the thread you linked really does a great job explaining anything. The thread is explaining things that make sense to people who already understand the entire story around the product, but might not really be helpful to someone who doesn't know anything. If someone came up to me and said "I am going to purchase this product from BFL, what do you think". I would say (these are all facts; no emotion or judgements) 1. They have not yet assembled any prototype for what they are selling you. There is not yet a single test unit. What they do have is a design and some of the electronic components. 2. They do not employ any of their own ASIC engineering staff or have their own lab*. They employed a part time electronic engineer. 3. One of their executives has a previous felony conviction for fraud. 4. The product was promised 7 months ago (covered by the ad tag line I guess) That's it, total truth and plain facts. That is what I would tell someone to catch them up on the situation. * I could be wrong about this one; someone fill me in. Title: Re: PSA about Butterfly Labs what to say?
