The World Trade Center does not have 11 letters.

The Twin Towers does not have 11 letters.

Osama Bin Laden does not have 11 letters.

There were not 911 victims.

Pennsylvania does not have 11 letters.

New York does not have 11 letters.

There were not 11 aircraft involved.

The first tower was not hit at 9:11.

There were not 911 windows which were shattered in the buildings.

Neither Tower 1 nor Tower 2 were 911 feet high.

It did not take 9 minutes and 11 seconds for the fire departments to respond.

This is the first time I've seen these facts. Would you be so kind as to relay your source, for I've hunted Google a total of 911 seconds, but no joy.

My username has 11 letters in it and I gave you 11 facts. You are one person questioning my 11 facts. Your first name of your username has 9 letters in it.

I am one person. You are another person. In total, that is 2 persons.

11 - 9 = 2.

What more could you possibly need?

Now that you've gone there... I have 4 sockpuppets and you have 5, making a total of 11 accounts, 9 of which are sockpuppets. Now don't fuck with me again, or one of my sockpuppets will create 910 sockpuppets and we'll be right back where we started.

i think the odds of them being a scam are close to zero.

In what sense? Do you include the scenario that I am also a "scammer" (i.e. defaulting or being unable to deliver even with good intention)?

i'm glad i wasn't stupid enough to have bet with you.  i'm smart enough to have assumed you wouldn't deliver. Wink

I believe you are smart. I just meant, do you think that it's possible BFL could be considered a scam in the sense that they have honest intentions but may not be able to deliver? That is a possibility I have not outruled yet for anything related to ASIC (including Avalon).

Do you think that it's possible Tom could be considered a scammer in the sense that he had honest intentions but was not able to deliver, coupled with not communicating one iota to those of whom bitcoins are owed to?

And you never will. I certainly didn't.  Grin

God you are an idiot.  You are definitely CreativeX level of incompetence and stupidity, congratulations for removing any doubt.

Bumping will take less than a day, actually, but we are allocating two days just in case.  Set up and tooling is what takes the most time, which is what we are trying to shave down.  Do I need to give you a quarter as well to go buy a clue?  Hell, go get it from Bryan Micon, the racist, homophobe... he never used his, so I'm sure he's still got it.

I appreciate you taking the time to post here with such an informative post, but the rest of us (your customers) would like a little more information. Where are you guys exactly in your schedule, and are there any delays to your week-of-the-10th shipping date?

BFL does not communicate with it's customers on BitcoinTalk, you'll have to come to the BFL forums if you want real information.  As evidenced by greyhawk, it's impossible to hold intelligent conversation here with people like him around, retarding up the place.


Not to be ass, Josh, but I believe you may be in error on this one (bold above).

If I remember, the silicon is 17x17mm.  The package is 29x29mm.  I'll measure it and confirm when I get into the office today.

I didn't do the research, but there's a slight possibility user BFL was directing the above reply to non-customers only.

Later, bud.

You wear boots? What do you recommend, because I need a good pair and Korea doesn't sell any for tall Americans with a size 12 1/2 ~ 13 foot.

And, therein, Koreans prove, once again, that the myth of feet size is directly proportional to another certain part of the body, albeit us Hoosiers have...wait for it...only big feet.

Got another one for you:
1111111111 = 03 / 17 / 2005

Just two days before:
"March 19 – A time bomb explodes in a Muslim shrine in Quetta, southwestern Pakistan, killing at least 29 people and wounding 40"

1111111111 is binary for 1023.

It took 10-11 days for the first ASICs to reach Jeff and the Foundation, so there should probably be 50-75 devices reaching their owners this week...assuming Avalon is indeed true to their word and not just jerking us around to increase Batch #2 orders.

If you read the bitcoinfoundation blog it says:

Quote
Yifu arrived in New York City last night, after more than two months in China finishing his masterwork. With him, Avalon’s first ASIC V1.

It does not say "DHL dropped off a package" like in the case of jgarzik

It's safe to assume Yifu took the 2nd machine through customs himself. Suitcase on the plane to NY?

If you want to know how the package from jgarzik traveled, then it's as simple as asking him the tracking number that was on the box and tracking that on the DHL tracking site.

It should give a good idea of when it was delivered by the HK forwarder at the HK port to DHL, when it was going through HK customs, put on a plane and how long it was held at US customs. One can cut off the detailed delivery to jgarziks house, we all know what date that was and don't need to know the exact address...

I'm surprise nobody has asked him so far... simple paper trail and irrefutable proof
(unless DHL is a shareholder in the big ASIC scam ;-)

By the way, I thought there was way too much DHL tape on the packages that were pictured, either the boxes fell apart or they opened it for inspection, but usually they can close them more discretely. These boxes looked like they were rounded at the edges.
Not sure those comply to the ISTA 3A Test procedure for small parcel shipments: Each item should be surrounded by at least two inches (5.08 cm) of sheeting and placed two inches (5.08 cm) away from the box walls.

Good point, i thought the same, he could express post it from NY to J.Garzik also explaning the $400,- express bill..
So maybe Yifu had a flightticket for 20 jan. knowing he had two devices "shipped" with him... Huh

Sending only one to an core member to gain trust and showing a demo to BTC Foundation, putting in a batch 2 with no nonsense terms, (witch failed due to walletbits fuckup) worth 900k in BTC seems legit but also a very smart move..

But he i donn't want to sound like a troll but it's a very good one if Jeff would give some tracking info indeed....

Finally, after providing three hints. BTW, and honestly, it never occurred to me that Jeff's unit may have been on the plane with TBF's unit, then shipped from NY.
