Here is a video of Butterfly Lab's PR/Spokesperson showing his true colors and refusing to talk about the case on display at the CES convention in LV. Supposedly this device only has fans and a nexus device inside of it.

With $25 million in preorder funds, this is all they were able to come up with. This is related to the service of butterfly labs because it shows where they are at in their providing customers that have sent preorder funds to them for a device that is now 70 days late on delivery (at least) with no proof or accountability of what was done with the preorder funds.

 ;D ;D ;D

seems like a typical BFL. Cant wait to see everyone get scammed by them

Ha! What a douche!

What a fucking asshole, I wonder how many people are going try to pull orders when they see that "BFL_Josh" blatently tells someone to "get a fucking clue" when the man walks up and asks him "What is this box, I am having trouble understanding what it is"

Did Josh know this guy from before? Because I think the vid is made to make Josh out to look like an asshole, why would he be so belligerent from the start?

The guy is Micon.

If this is true then I would say it was called for and I retract my previous statement.

Someone else should go there and do the same thing just to get an explanation about what that box is. Also they should ask them about the status of the ASIC chips. Perhaps where did all of the $25 million pre-order money go.

I'm a bit mad because last summer before the BFL announcement I was planning to build a 200+ GPU mining farm. (I had access to very cheap electricity and financing) I've put my project on hold and now it look like at best their company is completely unprofessional or at worst another huge scam. Even if I did not pre-order any ASIC they probably costed me some potential profit.

/end rant

It sucks for those who pre-ordered, I wish they will receive their ASIC somehow.

Bwahaha! Josh was a bit on the aggressive side, but that Micon dude is a fuckin 'tard. He's seriously off his rocker. Does he think he's actually fooling anyone?

I also love how he interviews BitPay, but spends so much time talking and talking and talking he never actually lets them fully answer a question.

Who's Micon, why does everyone know this guy? I've never heard of him.

He made a list of suspected ponzi sheme before Trendon Shavers ponzi collapse and he his representing https://sealswithclubs.eu

Thanks

This video is like a 3rd take of a mobilized stalker dunk-tank clown trying to get a reaction.  Josh's reaction was effective.

Not BFL asshamsters!

Comments are like:
I might just buy another Single SC after listening to that.
+1 to Josh


See? BFL lemmings want to be scammed!

Not necessary.

BFL posted a video on their website (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZUPniBo5UQ#t=04m30s) that answers your question:

David Perry: "So this is just a case ... you don't actually have ASICs ready?
Josh: "Um... right ... but we are eagerly awaiting them as everybody else I'm sure ..."

Wow. what a fuckn dick. getting rid of my pre-order today.

Yeah, but that's their answer to ANYTHING.

BFL announces new delay? Buy another Single SC.
Obama got voted? Buy another Single SC.
Aliens attack? Buy another Single SC.

lol that forum is quite funny. what a good read.

I'm still waiting on my asshamsters, are you backlogged or what?

You are a f*cking idiot! I told you we are not backlogged! We are just waiting for a call from our Asian benefactors when to expect the Asshamster stuffing. There will be an update on the week of Jan 13th with great news. Honest Abe.

We also show living (sort of) asshamsters at CES. But don't come and visit us - we don't want visitors.

Here's a picture of one taken with my Nexus 7 :

What a douche. Is trying to be funny or is he really that arrogant?
Did he know that he was talking to micon? It looks like he did.

Even if BFL won't scam I wouldn't give them a quarter.

Excuuse me princess.  ::)




Josh mentioned pokering seals so I'm guessing he knew who it was he was insulting.

More specifically this is what BFL brought to the CES convention. What was the point again? To show off all the extra space you have? BFL so fucking fail. LOL!

Nice ASIC empty case.

It's not empty. Please dont forget the 30000 $ Nexus 7.

oh I forgot about that the $30k Nexus 7.

Hilarious. This must be the most expensive Android phone on earth.

Wow that BFL guy was as asshole given how much time has gone by and they still wont prove that they have a working product he has no right give anyone a hard time.

This is what could use a damn explanation, Why bring an empty FPGA minirig shell? Why not a running minirig?

They dont exist?

That's not an FPGA shell. The FPGA shell had cool velcro and hot glue inside..

Because

Isn't this the week they deliver?

Nope: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/692-bfl-asic-status.html

They don't start shipping until the week of February 10th which ends on February 17th. So looks like we are headed into the month of March...if ever...

Then we wait until March.

March is when my birthday is, I'm a pisces.  ;)

I will lol so hard if they deliver empty boxes to everyone stupid enough to order a scam product.

Come on now, they're smart enough to weight the boxes down.

Josh is very clear that he does not want to talk to Micon because they have a previous relationship.

If you keep watching the video Micon goes on to tell how he is going to shit talk Josh on the forums.

Micon is essentially shit talking Josh and defaming him because he doesn't like Josh. You will note that the questions he is stating "the community has a right to know" were never actually asked to Josh, they were presented to the forum in a way that made people assume they were an issue.

They were never an issue. Micon is just being a jerk.

That being said there are issues with BFL, I haven't seen a picture of a working ASIC rig anywhere. You would think there would be one. But Micon is doing the community a huge disservice by approaching BFL in this way. Why not just ask some questions through the proper channels? Why the drama? It's not helping.

The Manual:

Is anyone still selling new FPGAs? ???

Oh right, ask through the proper channels and get a sheep like response of " Yes we are still in R&D rah rah rah just another excuse " .

They know that in person, they will get a bit of shit and the guy cannot even handle a professional approach to get him out and away... Its being recorded, the way of which that idiot from BFL labs responded is horrible from a corporate investors point of view, the guy should be fired on the spot.

With 25 million dollars in pre-orders I would hope someone is jumping up and down more than the troll that apparently made the video, because otherwise these guys will get away with spending your pre-order money, shit they probably already have! Nexus 7, damn - i bet they are driving around in nice wealthy vehicles by now.

No shit... he will just give it right to Micon.

They both look like dicks. I hope that people don't get scammed as bad as I think they are, but at the same time I hope ASICs never come out.
