Yeah in a world where it is actually acceptable to get paid for your products prior to even having them conceptualized would be really rewarding! I wish my company could get that kind of faith from my customers.

I'm going to go ahead and extend this offer now: Josh, if you feel like BFL is is trouble and you're not able to make the chips/boards/miners work, please, let me come and help you guys. I can contribute quite a variety of technical and nontechnical skills. My price is only one Single per week worked. (Obviously if the project fails I lose too and get nothing.) I will sign NDAs. I made this same offer to Tom, but he did not accept. Don't go out like that. I have not yet received a response. Title: Re: Get a job at BFL!!

He only cared about betting and they give him a job? from that thread you posted: December 01, 2011, 03:44:21 PM #1332 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't really presume to speak for BFL in regards to shipping dates or specs, so I can't really comment on that one way or another. As far as I know, they still have a target date for shipping product prior to the end of the year. My statement about it being a cluster fuck was more about the conditional issues, such as an independent customer with community trust - who is that? Do I qualify? What if i don't decide to purchase a unit until Jan 4th? What if the first batch goes to private companies/individuals that wish to remain anonymous and we don't see a public unit until later - or alternately, what if they are shipped to a bunch of unknown people with no community trust? Joe Bitpack can post here saying he got a unit and it works as advertised, but who is he? Ultimately, what if there is a quantity problem? If there's only 3 unit available prior to Jan 3rd and all three go to anonymous people - and all three happen to satisfy the requirements - the bet would be false, yet no way to confirm that. I'm not saying any of these things are true or that's what will happen, I'm just illustrating the problems with the conditions of the bet. Also the precision of the bet is somewhat difficult. What if one measurement is a peak of 1.04 GH/s or max draw of 19.9w? But if someone else measured it, they'd likely get different numbers. Conditions should probably be in a range, not specific numbers. Verification should probably be handled differently (not sure how off the top of my head, though). That's all I meant. EDIT - Also, admittedly, I can't quite wrap my head around how the weighting system works as far as payouts go. Title: Re: Get a job at BFL!!
