Title: BFL & Phinneas Gauge
Post by: YipYip on September 14, 2013, 01:33:57 AM
Where is PG ?

I think 48 hours under the spell of the slickest conman can turn anybody

This is an open letter to PG ..turn back from the dark side ..please I dont care how much barnwood they promised you !!

I am sure Sonny told you about his link to the dark underworld of the Amish barnbuilding mafia buts its all LIES !!

They only build barns as they never destroy them as its agaisnst the amish religion.... Stop and think about it PG..... i Know you are pineing (punn intended :D) for your own wood pile 2 barn doors high..... but all good barnwood is only procured during the dead of night through honest hard barnwood theft work...

Look I may be able to find some slightly used & weathered cedar planks that you can have to tide you over until you come out from under the Sonny "Chainsaw" Vesiledes spell

Please PG we all miss you  :'(

P.S You look like gandalf ..lolz

P.P.S I always knew you would look like Gandalf :D

We offered him a liter of Tokaji Aszú a day to keep his silence in a special underground wooden "barn." Rumor has it, he's down so deep, his games of digital solitaire are never interfered with by cosmic radiation.

Those are the only clues he gave. It sounds like they threw him in some Hungarian volcano. We'll never find him.

Odd, I got a PM from PG stating he was alive and well in Sandwich, IL.  Is that where the Hungarian Volcano dumps it's refuse?

I would rather see evidence then hear about his epiphany.

 
I'd suggest you politely ask Josh for a tour then.

I would rather see evidence from PG than to hear about his epiphany and change of "heart". You had pointed questions PG that required answers of BFL and that is all we want are the answers. If you don't have those then not much can really be gleaned and to be honest many people here don't care about conversions as much as the real reasons they are not getting their units, their refunds and the fact that BFL has been altering their terms of presales every few weeks. How about you provide the community with an honest appraisal based on those areas because we really don't care how you "feel" about BFL, we only care about what you can objectively report about.

I am pretty confident that I can't learn anything new from going to BFL. If people have gone there and can't quickly rehabilitate the BFL reputation how would my trip there be of any value. Besides I have no interest in BFL beyond seeing them be RESPONSIBLE citizens in the Bitcoin community. That will only happen if BFL changes how they are currently doing business. That will not change if I or anyone were to visit BFL.

Let me put it simply. There are obvious reasons for people being UPSET.

1. They have not received their units on time or at all.
2. The terms and conditions for the presales of the units keeps changing and morphing as they continue to miss their target dates for shipping.
3. Their customer service is poor.
4. They refuse legitimate claims for refunds.

I don't see what the big fuss is about really. The simple solution is for people to stop buying their products, stop investing money in non-existent and undesigned future hardware.

PG has not resolved any of those issues given his posts.

I have no animosity for PG or BFL. I feel the best way to resolve an issue where you are upset and angry and disappointed is to take the advice of Dr. Montessori. It isn't about PG or BFL it is about our own need to move forward. Why does one need the stress or animosity of dealing with BFL? Cut the cord let yourself float free of the burdens they bring. Move on to a new company that offers less pain and misery. Simple.

Quote
He who forgives an offense does not perform a logical act of justice, nor does he benefit the person he
forgives; hence it is waste of time to consider whether the offense deserves pardon or not, and whether the
person who committed it needs absolution from us or not. We must pardon, not from a sense of justice nor for
the benefit of the offender, but for our own sakes; he who forgives has divested himself of envy and
resentment, of all that oppressed and fettered the spirit, making it powerless to rise. This is why we must
forgive: that so we may burst the bonds which impede our free movement, our ascent. When we cut the cable
of a balloon, we do not consider whether this is just towards the earth, and whether the cable deserves it; we
do it because it is necessary, to enable the balloon to rise. He who ascends, moreover, enjoys the marvels of a
spectacle which cannot be enjoyed on earth. Who would strike a balance between this gain and the
sacrifice of the cable?

That is why BFL will ultimately fail no one wants to be held back by the bullshit that they have heaped on their customers. Time to cut the cord and move on and no one can argue the truth of that statement.

Forgive, and you will feel universal absolution rising to you from the whole world, in token of your ascent

You mean other than specific components?

Show us the links to their FCC approval (for an entire unit) or even a test report.

Otherwise, I must call BS.

Who cares at this point why would anyone bother with buying something from BFL... FCC or not?

Why given the delays would anyone reasonably expect this company to do better? Cut your losses and move on.

What a shit company, thank god I never ordered anything from them.  Have they ever tried to explain in detail why they are so far behind?  From what I've read they were low on employees which meant slow building/shipping products.  Then they hired more and the big September promise came out.  What else did I miss?
