Title: Does anybody actually have an ASIC?
Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on March 07, 2013, 01:01:56 PM
If so, where is the video on YouTube? Someone like that must definitely make a video on YT.

So, anybody actually have an ASIC with proof? It's like Santa Claus, you believe in him, while he doesn't exist...

Jgarzik (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=541) does and has shown some proof that it is real, there are a few posts about it on his blog:

There are hundreds of ASICs sitting in the warehouses of the numerous ASIC manufacturers posting in this forums.  Unfortunately they are too busy shipping them for anyone to actually receive one.

Of course many people have an ASIC, like those guys in China that have a youtube account they created the same day they uploaded one cell phone video showing them smiling next to the exact same looking equipment you see in other photos from the same people which showed you photos of what they said was an ASIC from Avalon.

We know it's true because they said to trust them with thousands of dollars in untraceable non-refundable money.

+1 Venture capitalists have the comfort of knowing the project may fail or run behind, resulting in a net loss or a very long time to recoup monies. These guys bought under the pretense of a product in a few months. BTC is now worth a lot more than what it was last year. If product is delivered and BTC to USD or EUR ...etc stays high, people who pre-ordered in BTC are going to have a lot of ground to make up. Difficulty up! Even longer to recoup.  'just my two satoshi'

I am thinking at this point that there is a good chance that no asics exist. Let me ask this... why? Why would they sell them if they could just use them to mine the coins. It makes not sense to me. If I developed one there is no way I would sell it until i was sure someone else had made one too.

Because coins are not based on some real hard valuable thing, I cant easily go to kroger and buy milk with it, the price changes, it could crash at anytime. Why throw millions into it, when you could physically hold millions from people who are willing to throw money into it?

They sell them for their safety, for their living.

Also, not sure how many investors accept bitcoins to pay off hundreds of thousands in debt.


Also, say I am BFL and I make a few of the $29k machines. Mine all blocks for weeks. People will get pissed, leave BTC, you left with a bunch of BTC and no one who wants to play with you. All money into toilet.

Fair enough some good points. So why no video? If I had made this thing I would have shot a video for it. So there is no doubt.

You can easily exchange BTC for whatever currency you wanted as soon as you mine it.  And you don't need to use BTC to buy milk or pay off debt, you can simply use an exchange to trade it for the required currency.

MAYBE HE IS A COBOL PROGRAMMER? OR MAYBE A FORTRAN IV PROGRAMMER.

FORTRAN 77 and later allows mixed case so it can't be that.
