Sorry sunshine, but D3 can't lock threads anymore. His ability to moderate threads he has no business in has been removed. So go ahead, ask away, see how well that works for you.
I like your highlighting, you've managed to highlight every lie CreativeX has written in the past 10 threads, good job. But, seeing as you two are comparable liars, that's not a surprise. Neither of you can provide anything to backup what you say, so you just keep spouting the same nonsense over and over. And you wonder why I call you an idiot.
Frizz: Tell me what all those posts have in common that other critical threads of BFL, on the BFL forums don't have, would make them candidates for deletion? My guess is you can't figure it out, being too stupid to understand your ass from a hole in the ground... but hey I thought I'd ask. You've also managed to find the 3 posts that have been deleted, out of 8700... congratulations Scooby Doo, you are a real detective!
BFL censorship statistics: .00034% of the posts are censored! OMG, it's a conspiracy!

I do read our forums, that's how I know you're lying.
@CreativeX Ragaholic huh? Not sure where you get that, but whatever you need to tell yourself so that you don't feel like such a failure is cool with me.

Check out this "Troll's" comments! The nerve of that guy! Unreal...
Back in September, I contemplated ordering Several FPGA's from BFL. Once I looked at the Anticipated October Release of the ASIC's and the 60 Day+ lead time of the FPGA Singles, not too mention the $34 Shipping and the Shipping $ i'd have to pay to send back to BFL, it made absolutely no sense for me to have my Singles for maybe a Week and then have to send them back for the ASIC Upgrades. This was a decision I made with the information that was available to me at the time.
Looking back, this was a Huge mistake! I now have almost $10K sitting at BFL and no Hashing power for months because of these continuous delays and in all truth, We look further away from Delivery now then 6 Weeks ago! It's now impossible to get that FPGA hashing power online while we wait...
This has been said by many others as well but it continues to be true: If this had been like any other "Pre-order" then I would be content with having laid down my 10%-20% with rest being due upon completion but this Is Not the case. Instead there are 100's to 1000's of people with about $10 Million in Limbo at BFL. What do we do? It makes no Sense (to me) to cancel and get a refund as some people have been w/o their money for up to 6 months already. ...I don't know... as another said earlier in this thread if they'd have known there would be no BFL ASIC's in BFL's Oct/Nov Timeframe then they, as well as myself, would Happily be Hashing away on FPGA's till the Real ASIC shipdate arrived.
To me it just seems like there really was no way BFL was ever going to Ship in the October/November timeframe they had been giving from the Start. Delays happen and are understandable but it seems no one at BFL has any more clue about when they'll ship then we do! This is unacceptable when they have taken nearly $10 Million of peoples Pre-order money. I've made the Choice to keep my Orders as I don't have any other good option (at this time) but Who is accountable here and what is the Real story?!? Again, if this had been a "normal" pre-order I wouldn't really have much to say except "damn, this sucks" but when you take Millions of $$$ from people for 3-6 Months you are held to a Higher Standard and NEED Full transparency...if you want Secrecy then don't ask for 100% Money up front Pre-orders.
At this point, I don't think it is unreasonable for people to be asking for some sort of compensation. We have after all given BFL Several Million Dollars to "hold" for 2 Months longer than the original agreement. https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bfl-forum-miscellaneous/519-10-dec-2012-bfl-asic-update-7.htmlWell, at least we know our definitions of troll differ. That post you quoted, I do not consider a troll... it is a valid post. Whereas, everything you post is basically a troll, devoid of substance and utility. Makes sense... you are unable to post thoughtful, cogent arguments and/or comments and the guy you quoted is. You consider a thoughtful, cogent post a troll and your tripe to be "non" troll variety. Explains much and goes right along with the fact that you don't need "evidence" to base your "opinions" on. |

Yeah, one whole post deleted! Left and right! OMG!
Once again, PuertoLibre the liar! You need a new title man! You lie more than a rug.

Typically Vne just denotes a structural failure point at or exceeding that speed. You can usually exceed Vne in calm, smooth air without incident... but if you hit turbulence you are in for a potential world of hurt as structural load could potentially be exceeded by a wide margin almost instantly and your plane comes apart. All V speeds are unique to a given model of plane, so yes a biplane is different than an F15. For example, a newer model Cessna 170 will have a Vne somewhere around 160 KIAS and an older Cessna 150 will be somewhere around 150 KIAS if I recall. An F15 probably has a Vne around 700 KIAS I would imagine, possibly more. I'm just pulling that out of thin air, but it's got to be around or above mach 1. The space shuttle has a Vne around mach 7 I think (in atmosphere), which is about 4500 KIAS.
There was a dumbass flying back from Tampa I think a couple years ago in a nice new plane and he had his whole family with him. He was traveling around 220 KIAS, right at redline. Being the invincible type, he flew at max speed into a cloud layer and the plane broke up in the air and went crashing to the ground. Bad things happen when you try to break the laws of physics.

Vne is not a speed limit, it's a structural limit. You are free to exceed it at your peril and the FAA doesn't care (until your flaming hole in the ground causes property damage of course, but that's another story.) Interesting.. I know it is a bit off topic, but how can Vne be a flat speed for all altitudes? Or does the number change with altitude? I have experience in supersonic rocket flight characteristics, and we have a similar term called Max-Q, which is dependent on air density. 1000 mph at 5K feet has significantly higher aerodynamic load than 1000 mph at 50K feet. Vne is calculated against IAS, so it's related to altitude but altitude is functionally irrelevant for calculation purposes as the altimeter handles the conversion factor by default due to air pressure. I'm not sure if this applies as you approach mach 1 or maybe even much sooner. I also suspect (but have no firsthand knowledge) it would depend on what is driving the Vne limit. If it's airframe or prop or something else... well then I suppose the answer would differ. |

Move the decimal place over 3 spots to convert.

Umm yeah, that's not exactly how that works. I'm not going to being facilitating the buying and selling of shares. That is far, far too much work and liability.

lol my mistake on the airplane speed limits then, should have checked that out first, my point still stands though, I think I'll go and research airplane accidents and cars and see how they compare because if I'm right I think we'll see a lot less airplane crashes than car crashes just because airplanes have far more space between them then cars ever will.
Do you know what Vne is? Go ahead and breach it, I dare you. The problem with speed limits is that the State is involved in roads and driving at all. It should all be completely privatized. It would save about 40,000 lives per year in the United States alone. This massive human sacrifice is a great tragedy of having the State. Vne is not a speed limit, it's a structural limit. You are free to exceed it at your peril and the FAA doesn't care (until your flaming hole in the ground causes property damage of course, but that's another story.) |

Second payment has gone out. Things look good ... I just set it to automatic, so it should check every hour and when the balance goes over 100 BTC, it will trigger a payout.
Yes, there is just under 100,000 shares outstanding. Keep in mind, most of those minirigs are hosted minirigs, not BFLS rigs.

The faster you go, the probability you will die or kill someone in a crash inches closer to 100%.
Per unit time, yes. But the time you spend to travel a given distance goes down. The longer you spend on a road, the higher your chances that some drunk will plow into you. The faster you go, the closer you approach a situation where vehicle handling and reaction time is reduced to such a point that an accident's probability is near 100% in any specified period of time. I don't think you understand probability. By that logic, anyone driving at 300 MPH would be 100% guarantee an accident. Since people have driven faster than that without an accident, the logic falls apart. Once again: It is not the absolute speed that is the problem. It is the difference in speed that is a problem. Two cars traveling at 150 MPH in the same direction are not any more prone to an accident than two cars traveling at 50 MPH in the same direction. Two cars traveling in the same direction, one at 50 MPH and one at 150 MPH are much more prone to an accident, which is where your reaction time (and to a lesser extent) vehicle handling come into the picture. Enforcing minimum speed limit and left lane driving laws on highways would do more to reduce accident and injury rates than any other measure currently being considered. People are always going to speed and break the law. But forcing people to drive at reasonable speeds on a highway (or take surface roads if you don't want to) and forcing them into the right lane except to pass would go a long way to making the roads safer. |

Airplanes do have speed limits on them. Less than 250 KIAS under 10k MSL. Breaking this speed limit can lead to very bad things from the FAA. Although I think you can request a faster airspeed and assuming it's approved you're good to go...
On the other hand, most vehicle speed limits are designed to maximize funding, not increase safety. I'm not saying there isn't a safety factor there, but the speed limits in cities are typically designed around income. Highway speed limits are also a result of financial pressure, not safety, although the financial pressure is in the form of the Federal government withholding funding for states that don't adhere to Federal guidelines for speed limits... but in either case it's not about safety so much as it's about money.
That said, higher speed limits on highways are not the problem. You could have 100 MPH speed limits and have them be safer than 55 MPH speed limits - the problem is the variable speed of different actors on the road. If you have one guy going 75 in a 100 MPH zone and another guy going 100 MPH, the 25 MPH difference is what causes the most problems, not the 100 MPH. The same problem exists with the existing speed limits, but it's not so pronounced at 65 - 75 MPH, as most people will be traveling within 10 MPH of each other. But you increase that to 100 MPH and you'll still have people driving at 65 MPH and you introduce too many variables and accidents happen. There's a reason the Autobahn is relatively safe - everyone driving on it knows you get the fuck out of the way and/or don't drive 65 in the 120 MPH lane or you cause an accident. In America, at least, most people on the road are entitled idiots who don't know how to drive (Left lane is for passing, it's not your personal driving lane and you are not a duly authorized law enforcement officer) and thus you have a higher accident rate regardless of the speed limit. The 65 - 75 highway speed limit is there to limit the speed difference, not to increase safety from higher speeds.

Payment just went out... had a little bug in the script that wasn't letting it send and got it fixed. I'll do one more manual iteration and then I'll automate it. I'm actually pretty excited about it! It will make things so much easier on me and more predictable for everyone else! |

Why does it not surprise me that PG has an image like that? Was that from your personal collection, Bruno?

PSSSST CreativeX... I hate to break this to you (because apparently you didn't know)... but all rational people base their opinions on evidence (and the intelligent ones change their opinion based on that evidence if it is warranted).
The fact that you just admitted that you don't require evidence to formulate an opinion explains pretty much everything about you at this point. Thank you for finally clearing up how you can be so irrational in the face of evidence to the contrary.

I don't believe they've "missed" multiple shipping dates at all...that would merely imply incompetence. What evidence do you have for this belief? None, why would I require evidence to formulate an opinion? lol HAHAHA you caught that too, did you? I think we have just found out why CreativeX is so irrational. I think that might be my new signature. PG - if you run such a successful business why don't you explain to everyone why your gross income is completely irrelevant. You can gross even a billion dollars, but if your net is a buck (or more likely negative), you are a failure. It's trivial to make a company gross a million dollars... just sell stuff or perform labor at cost or below cost. Your gross income is meaningless, thanks for trying though. Drywall company and barn doors... heh. High tech stuff there! You are certainly qualified to judge a tech company alright. |
