Probably it was the intention.

Title: Re: lmftfy: bfl NOT shipped 2013/3/31 Post by: thoughtfan on April 01, 2013, 06:23:07 PM ...why luke lying? Did Luke claim the item was in his personal possession in Australia? Show it me if he did. I do think it was a bit daft and short sighted of BFL (they may have been tired and didn't think the repercussions through properly) to use the word 'shipped' - especially given they know there's a dedicated bunch of folks who are looking for every tiniest excuse to dance and shout at every and any thing that looks like (or is) a failure on their delivery schedule. However, I will admit to finding the predictable chorus of 'scammers', 'liars', 'thieves' etc. quite tiresome by now. Ah well, should be over soon - or maybe not so soon ;) Title: Re: lmftfy: bfl NOT shipped 2013/3/31 Post by: greyhawk on April 02, 2013, 04:04:41 PM Ah well, should be over soon - or maybe not so soon ;) Give it 4-6 weeks.

Indeed it would (sadly potentially will) be entertaining. However I really hope that they will have and ship a working product, even if it consumes more power and performs a little slower; Not because I have a pre-order (which I don't) but because competition is mandatory to bring the prices down. I would like to get an Asic, but only when it drops between 500$ to 1200$ for 30 to 60 Ghash. That can't happen if Avalon is the only player in the game.
