Believe what you well, but I truly believe that Nibbknot is PG. Notice you haven't seen Bruno Kucinskas around for awhile have you? All indicators point to Nibbknot being Phinnaeus Gage. Believe what you want. You may still consider me a shill, but at least in my heart of hearts I know I'm telling the truth. I'm done with this guy.

May or may not be the case. Probably is to some extent, but that's hardly unusual in a population base. These things are more analog than binary. Josh got fucked over by someone on a Bitcoin deal back in the old days. Some auction for a vacation rental or something. The community basically liked the auction dude and didn't like Inaba who has always been identifiable as a general prick and everyone gave him grief about it. I'm sure he was quite but-hurt and it was at that point that he probably said 'fuck em' and didn't have any more qualms about running scams with his foot to the floorboard. Against the general Bitcoin community, that is, but newbies are much more conducive to being scammed so they take the brunt of his payback. Inaba is undoubtedly much more intelligent than most people here. He's not going to be shamed into stopping what he's doing. Just the opposite because the more successful he is at it the more weight is added to the assertion that he's bright and the victims are stupid. I will say that Inaba seems to try to use graphical images to paint himself as some sort of a healthy outdoorsman type when in reality his a skinny drugged-out looking guy. Such self-consciousness is often associated with other psychological maladies. What is unusual is that there is a greater preponderance of psychopaths in leadership and management; A psycho-path to success if you will. |

2- BFL was located in US. I figured worse case scenario I be dealing with a company in US than China or Europe.
Anecdote: I wanted to be a good patriotic citizen and "Buy American" by supporting Butterfly Labs. One of the biggest commercial mistakes of my life and really opened my eyes to how corrupt things have been allowed to become in this country. Never again will patriotism guide my purchasing decisions as a result. |

I ordered 8 miners and they never shipped anything and won't respond to emails. Fucking scammers. But the police are now looking for Ali....
No result in this yet? They were good startup but went to scam pretty soon. Yeah, it's pretty shameful how they cut and run.  |

Are you trying to hide real negative trust behind fake negative trust? So you later can point anyone to this thread and tell them all your negative trust is fake?
No, I want to get attention. There is medication that can help you with this. |

I believe you are meaning to use the metaphor "smoke and mirrors". |

Whether they are or aren't has no effect on me.
Quite the shameless mercenary, huh ? |

For posterity. I'm probably going to get in trouble for this (I did sign an NDA), but this has really gone on a bit too long and the lies are getting worse and worse.
Late Dec/Early Jan, BFL caught up on all of thier 65NM product lines and were (when available) shipping from stock. The people on this forum who would daily link to the fact that "X" was now up for sale or was taken down knew before I even did that we had product advertised or delisted. At that point in time, there was an order placed for 4000 boards to be built into a new type of unit that had just come out... the 250/230GH rack mount. This is what was being built during the time frame that nibbknot claims we were building Monarchs. I can very plainly state that there were NO 28nm chips available during that time frame.
The claim that employees were given Monarchs as X-mas presents (which he later changed to singles with the option to wait for Monarchs) is also a blatant lie. There are at least 50-60 people who can verify that we were all given 2 Jalapenos that ran between 3 and 4GH and that no one was offerred cash or a free upgrade for waiting. I remember the day well, as I had over a dozen people ask me if I wanted to buy theirs as they didn't want to learn how to use them. Since I was still saving up money to get a valve job done on my car after it broke down in the parking lot, I didn't take many people up on their offers.
Check out the link he posted... here it is again... http://www.coinware.io/. What's the first listing on there? Nimbus Mining. Look back to your own posts, you guys ragged about the 65nm product being used to offer cloud hashing at $40 per GH when it was first announced. Considering there were *NO* working 28nm chips until late April, it was impossible for them to be built in Jan/Feb.
Then there's all the other lies he's told... I'm beginning to doubt this person was ever an employee of BFL. If you were to ask a REAL employee of BFL, you'd find out that I almost never take a break. I can count on 1 hand the number of times I sat down at the table in the break room to have lunch. While I did end up getting a Nexus Tablet from the christmas party, I didn't even take it out of the box for months. To claim that I'd sit around posting from work is complete horse manure... I can't stand the tablet, I'm too used to keyboards, not tiny little buttons that take me 30 minutes to correctly type 1 sentence.
The plain and simple truth is that all you have to do is go read Josh's posts about the Monarch development and you'll know the real story. I've lost 45 pounds since I started working at BFL from the stress... in addition, I work 60-70 hours a week, first it was to keep product moving out the door, and now it's trying to get the next one working so we can send it out the door.
Joe... I'll admit, I've been ducking your question for 1 reason and 1 reason only... cause I know you'd never believe the truth. If you don't count the boards being built right now to go satisfy the cloud hashing for the first customers(as Josh posted), the only boards in existance are in the hands of the developers/engineers. I've had to relearn skills I have not used in 20+ years (back when I was first in the Navy) in order to change components in an effort to get these boards to run at speed. You think the customers are frustrated? You have no idea how the employees feel. Try spending an hour swapping components you can only see through a microscope sometime...
When nibbknot first posted, he was only at about 50% lies, but now it's like he's one of you guys and has to expand the lies because he's in the spotlight. Personally, I think he's a coward. He hides behind anonymity and tosses out the lies faster than Bick does. You want to see a picture of the 'Monarch' he claims to have built? https://products.butterflylabs.com/250-gh-s-rack-mount-bitcoin-miner.html <-- plain as day, THAT is what was being built so feverously back in Jan/Feb. Click the 2nd picture... 65nm Single boards with black heat sinks. You're trusting the word of a person who can't tell the difference between a board with 16 11MM chips on it and a board with 2 25MM chips on it, who thinks an underspeed Jalapeno is a Monarch/Single, and who is an outright coward.
I refrained from telling Bick to run with his smoking gun, because I figured I'd get in trouble at work, but now the lies are so overwhelming I don't care any longer. Take your smoking gun to the authorities Bick and then you'll find that you're just a troll who believes any lie shoveled into your face. nibbknot seems to have all the answers, but ask HIM for the pictures to back up his statements... Ask him for the proof you demand so often from others. I know you won't, because you're too afraid the bubble will burst and you'll find you were had yet again.
To the idiots that think I am trying to derail threads: I rag on Bick for 1 reason... I *KNOW* the majority of what he claims is a lie. By harping so on his other lies, sooner or later people will start to realize his current lies. Maybe nibbkknot is Bick's sockpuppet... that would explain a LOT.
With respect to your quote "I've had to relearn skills I have not used in 20+ years (back when I was first in the Navy) in order to change components in an effort to get these boards to run at speed.", this gives more context to PM's I've had with the user that, in my mind, validates the fact that they have been previously employed at Butterfly Labs and have insider knowledge. Furthermore, "At that point in time, there was an order placed for 4000 boards to be built into a new type of unit that had just come out... the 250/230GH rack mount. This is what was being built during the time frame that nibbknot claims we were building Monarchs." would seem to be a plausible explanation assuming someone, in-fact, placed an order for 4000 rackmount units. Edit: Consider nibbkknot is more-than-likely in error, and was mistaken about which chips were being used - They were working with 65nm chips instead of 28nm, and came to the erroneous conclusion they were building products using 28nm chips. Don't get me wrong, I love a good conspiracy theory just as much as the next guy, and certainly have no love for Butterfly Labs, but let's try to stay rational about this and not get caught up in a wild goose-chase by someone that meant well, but may have got some details wrong. |

Goat is next to Phin, the OP never worked for BFL, BFL did not sell any 28nm chips, nice try. Next.
SLok, do you work for Butterfly Labs ? |

Once again, Bickfailski, the necro king, strikes. Must be sad to have no life other than searching for old threads to revive with the same nonsense. What's even worse is that he lost he old mantra (What, no Monarch hashing?) and now has to be even lamer. Spondoolies must pay him well to bash the competition.
Sort of like how Butterfly Labs pays you well to bash the competition and astroturf these forums ? |

the only part of your statement that is factual is the fact I am a part of the company. The rest of your statement is your distorted view of the information you and others have pieced together. What I find funny is that I have told the truth, yet you and others believe the colossal BS that is spewed daily on here by people like Bickfail. This is why I refer to tin-foil hats when I talk to you... you see conspiracies behind every bush and discard the truth, even when you're hit over the head with it. Even now you are discounting everything I say "because I am paid to say it".
I have no idea what the OP's intent was for posting here, but it's far from 'getting the truth out' and 'remaining anonymous'. Maybe he/she is clueless enough to think that an underspeed Jalapeno *IS* a Monarch.
*grumbles something about* Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Kaffee: Did you order the code red?
Jessep: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do.
Kaffee: Did you order the code red?
Jessep: You're goddamn right I did!! |

You can believe what you want, that doesn't make it correct. Go ahead and have your field-day, I know you'll repeat the falsehoods told to you this day many times over to justify your already misguided perceptions.
Do tell. What are my apparently misguided perceptions ? |

Nope, I'm not paid to post on here, I've said that many times. What I post on here is of my own free will. Just because you believe I am being paid means you are starting from an incorrect premise and therefore are coming to an incorrect conclusion. Everything you derive from that is also false.
Everything makes so much sense now. Forgive me for not believing a word that comes out of your mouth. And let me correct myself in saying "You have direct monetary reasons to say that his statements are completely false." Did you get a refund on your Monarch order yet ? Did you have one to begin with ? |

bcp19, do you work for Butterfly Labs ?
Yep, started there last Sept, it was bound to come out at some point. PG can confirm it. Beyond that, a lot of nibbknot's statement is completely false. Since you tin-foil hat types will believe his/her lies, I won't waste my breath. You are paid to say that his statements are completely false. |

Any news here?
Or the OP is gone?
Looks like they pulled a runner. We got bamboozled :| |
