Title: What's BFL's game? There hasn't been an update since the 15/Mar/2013
Post by: doghouse on March 27, 2013, 11:51:22 AM
Does anyone know for sure (no trolling please) what BFL's game is?
There hasn't been an update for over a week now.
Do their chips work? Have they even tested the chips on the board(s)?
It is very odd that there has been no news at all since they tool delivery of the ASICs?

Surely by now, there would be some news about their testing?

Of course, delivery dates will be better.

Read between the lines, or in this case, lack of lines.

Get your refund before the race to the exits causes the whole building to fall down.

Words of wisdom. I suggest you heed them.

BFL's game? They are an utterly incompetent bunch of cowboys that have no clue about chip design, project management and public relations.

lmftfy:

Quote from: BFL_Josh
"The process to bring a brand new ASIC to life is not as simple as turning it on. The fact that some people BFL thinks it is, is an indicator that they have never actually done so. There is a lot of testing, poking, prodding and debugging that needs to happen to get a chip up and running and if someone BFL tells you differently, they are incorrect, plain and simple."
BFL Update 03-25-2013

And this is exactly the explanation why BFL is so bloody late (and will possibly never have a working product): They are just some cowboys that managed to get the funding done (venture capital, pre order money), outsourced everything and naively took the best case scenarios from their subcontractors for their estimates.

Could be another DDoS then. I think I read they were having a problem with that this month.
