Title: GOOD LORD AVALONS COUNTDOWN TIMER IS NEGATIVE NOW
Post by: crazy_rabbit on January 20, 2013, 01:02:25 PM
Been waiting as anxious as ever, SCAM? NO SCAM? SCAM? NO SCAM? ASIC?

I watched the countdown timer, 3,2,1,0,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5

WTF?!?!?!?!?

I am seriously pissed.

how'd i even get that far for you? According to my estimates, if the timer was still ticking to the negatives, it wouldnt have gone further than 15hrs at this time, not 25hrs+

i would be pissed, 2, given that designing ASIC is a complex task, we should be seeing imaginary numbers, not negative 1's.

A number http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/9/9/d/99d4fb3db1563c87da2cdfc0158b37c3.png can be added to another number http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/0/c/c/0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661.png to form a complex number of the form http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/3/d/e/3de90564c61daf602b582735803fed9c.png, where http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/0/c/c/0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661.png and http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/9/2/e/92eb5ffee6ae2fec3ad71c777531578f.png are Avalon and Butterfly Labs (or bASIC), respectively, creating a complex number. Imaginary numbers can therefore be thought of as shipping times (x), thus http://img.tfd.com/mgh/cee/math/757385MF0030.gif. The name "imaginary number" was coined [sic] in the 17th century as a derogatory term first introduced as http://www.cyberphysics.co.uk/topics/radioact/positron_sym.gif, as such numbers were regarded by some as fictitious or useless, but today they have an essential, hard-date application in shipping of pseudo-engineered products.
