(apologies for quoting myself, but done so purposely to have the above images on this new page, coupled with coinciding with the below follow-up)I just figured it out. Somebody, correct me if I'm wrong. The bottom photo looks definitely shopped, with the markings placed on some components. The eight chips in the bottom image are just shopped coloring. I'm going to put on my worn out tin foil hat now. Either the "smudged" chip was put there on purpose to start a conversation leading to it being blown because... Or it was an 'honest' error during the shopping process, and when it was pointed out, it was transformed into another opportunity to further the delay. There seems to be a myriad of minor differences between these two boards. Bear in mind that the top board was photographed at an angle, whereas the bottom board was photographed straight down. Yet the markings in the top photo are clearer than the ones in bottom image, but for only some of the components--not all. In fact, in the bottom image, I'm able to read the fine print next to the resistors better than I can read the number 470 on those components, and I have bad eye site. Now, compare the 470 components between both boards.

The new boards look slightly different than the old boards. (images are linked to view larger sized)  |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a wind power device showcased at CES this year that the Jalapeno sits inside? Also, on a sunny, windy day, by placing a sheet of glass on top of the unit, it'll heat up a cup of coffee.  |

Apply pressure to what? Have you ever interacted with or spoken to anyone from BFL1? It's like a clique of 14 year olds over there. They're all extremely immature and all posses inflated egos. They're much more likely to learn something from an ass whooping than anything else.
At this point, is quite obvious they used the preorder money to FUND2 the build of the asics. Its also quite obvious they are about as inept as you can be. People always like to throw out the 'fact' that they delivered fpgas3, and thus that should mean they're legit. What people don't realize is that they didn't make those fpgas either. They bought4 a lot of them at a discounted price5 (last of the series) and reboxed them in plastic6 housing. Somehow that gave them legitimacy? Makes no sense. People need to wake up, they don't even have a single working prototype7 and are approaching a full year8 behind on preorders. So how can they be almost a year past deadline, and still not have a single working unit?
BFL will go down as the biggest scam in the btc industry, and if they decide to just pull out, the economy9 is going to be screwed.
I pulled out, felt good.
I am indeed paid by BFL, I admit that 1000%.
Josh is the COO of BFL, I sure hope to hell they're paying him lol I obviously didn't know you were BFL_Josh when i quoted the 'paid' comment.
OMG ROFL! This quack hasn't even been around long enough to know that Inaba=Josh, and somehow he feels confident enough to make very detailed accusations statements about BFL's support staff 1, funding 2, product shipping history 3, product suppliers 4, manufacturing discounts 5, manufacturing processes 6, prototype development 7, shipping schedule 8, and global affect on the BTC economy 9. I was just about to pen something similar. BFL clearly isn't trying to hide. Seriously? Then why the 8' fence and 20' tree?  PS - if you're fighting the power, it's good to have your facts straight. Pickingpair and opentoe have basically no facts straight and are talking out of their asses, so if you decide to fight the power (DOWN WITH THE MAN, MAN!), you might want to pick some leaders who aren't complete idiots. It's times like this that I wish I had an anonymous sockpuppet user account so that I can link that recent YT video of somebody explaining how the Bitcoin protocol works under its name. To be fair, if I were to explain it, I too would fuck it up, but I think not that badly. |

Did something happen? On Instawallet's site, whatever webpage you try to go to, it gives a "We're sorry, but something went wrong." message. WTF?  Up to this thread, I wasn't concern, but you made me look. It's up, and all my coins are still there. Damn, I don't want have seconds thought about IW, for I believe them to be up-and-up. I sure the hell would hate to come here in the future joining some choir, then being told that I shouldn't have had all my coins in one place as I've read 100's of times on this forum, but to date have ignored said advice. |

Congrats, C&T.
I'm hoping to do the same thing, but if I keep picking up new buyers of barn wood (three today), I'll never get out of this business to get into some Bitcoin enterprise full time. BTW, I'm still developing such an animal (<---keyword).

They don't cover everything if you want the top notch care.... Plus taking time off work, etc etc. Fuck, sorry don't want to talk about it.  Are you seeking top-notch care for your four-year-old, or hoping to get him help ASAP? Or is all this a ruse to renege on some loan? |

Quite aside, yet on topic.
This thread has 179 posts with 7080 views to date. Why is there only 12 votes total in the poll? I'm finding this tidbit rather odd.

Interesting! Randy Oest @amazingrando Humming the theme from Indiana Jones this morning. I think it is because my Geek Chic table delivers in a few weeks. http://yfrog.com/oc2o4avj |

What's the over/under on having my Irish choice chosen on March 17, 2013? That would be amazing! An Irish Pope with a beard chosen on St. Patrick's Day. Talk about getting money pumped into the coming-soon-new-and-improved-system. This choice would be their ticket.
Unfortunately, God makes the choice, not the Cardinals. They just relay the message. Does anybody know which Twitter account Jehovah is using predominantly? Image if enough of use tweeted #IrishPope. Surely Big J will get the message, then pass it on to the Cardinals or, at the very least, the boys who are interns to them.

I voted 'I don't know' just to see the stats. Amazing! I don't think so, because he wears an orange shirt when he speaks at public functions.  |

I just created my very first PGP key the other day via HostGator cPanel. Very easy to do. Now, how to use it is something I guess I'll learn soon enough. You you guys thought I was special ridin' in this here short bus.  |
