Mmmm smokey marshmallows.

Who deleted my post and why?

I vote McKinney TX... I hear there are a lot of bitcoins in those parts.

Keep in mind, if you buy BFL, you have some sort of upgrade path for the future.  Something you are unlikely to get with the other vendors, so if you're in it for the long haul it's something to consider.

Yesssss... shoe on head. 

I'm fine with that.  I apologize for making the comment about you setting me up for a joke.  I still take great offense to the fact that you maintain that somehow I was making a sexually charged comment, which I think is fair to say since you apparently have no intention of retracting that comment. 

I have stayed out of your thread to date, Tom, and the only reason I am here now is because you made an accusation that needed addressing.  I will stay out of your thread in the future as long as you keep me out of it, or if you do bring me into it, as long as you stick to the facts, then I have no reason to post here.  I am more than happy to let you do your thing without any interference from me.

If you don't want me posting in your thread, then don't post lies about me in your thread.  

Tell me what is sexually charged about "Thanks grandma"  You keep failing to answer that.  Is it because you know you lied about the sexually charged bit?

Regardless man, the fact is, you're using your dead grandma to shill your hardware.  Talk about sick, christ.  You used it in the auction thread to garner sympathy and you're using it now to garner more. If you really respected your grandma, you wouldn't be on a forum whining about it, you would have respected her memory by not bringing her into your sales pitches as a sympthy tactic (Serioulsy than, this is sales 101 - "Gain the sympathy of your customers".)  One of my grandma's died several months ago, did you see me on here posting about it?  No, because I respected my grandmother AND the people here enough not to bring her onto Bitcointalk for absolutely no reason, especially not to garner sympathy for my business ventures.

I'm sure many people are falling for it (it's 101 because it works), but seriously.  If you're going to use that, you should at least make it plausible.  So again: What sexually charged remark(s) were going through your mind with regards to your grandma when you made that post? Stop avoiding this question.

Answer the question and we can move on.

Yes, it is quoted, you're absolutely right.  Anyone can see you're a lying sack of shit.  Please explain what the "sexually charged joke" that I was trying to make was.  I am very curious as to what that could have been in your mind.  You just used the sexually charged claim to add some validity to your story about how you are being oppressed by the big, bad BFL.  I mean, it's too hard to compete on technical terms, why not turn it into something else?

As I said, "Thanks grandma!" was what I was implying in response to your smiley face quote.  I'm waiting to hear how you can turn that into something sexual.

You are the one who brought up sexual shit about your grandma, not me man.  You're the sick one here.

I have no F'ing clue how you get "sexually charged joke" out of what I said, unless that's what's on your mind when you think of your grandma. But I guarantee you the last thing on my mind about my grandmothers (and yours) is sex.

I don't see how this makes the bet null and void.

Go on, tell me what is "sexually charged" about "Thank Grandma!"

I wait to hear how you find that sexually arousing.  You were already "making light of it" with your comments about the slots being cheap and your tongue smiley face, don't play the poor put upon card man, it's not becoming.

I'm done with your shit, regardless.  Make up whatever you want about me in your thread man, you gotta sell that hardware as fast as you can until the power numbers for your units come out, I understand.  Whatever it takes.

You (and Tom) are dreaming if you think it's going to run at 60w.  The reason he doesn't want to post his power specs is because he knows they are going to be high.

Thanks for lying about me, Tom. I appreciate it.  

BTW - the joke was "Thanks grandma!"  

Yeah, really sexually charged there, asshole.  I was trying to be respectful to both you and your grandma.  I'm glad you think of your grandma in sexual terms, tells a lot about your character.

I have to agree with fizzisist, ultimately it's going to eventually end up at the cost to run whatever mining hardware you have.  The initial costs will be paid back at some point, so if a unit costs 2x as much to run, the value of that equipment is 1/2 comparable equipment that is 2x as power efficient, even if the initial costs are the same or even higher.

But it's even more counter-intuitive than that - your ROI is going to be cut by a factor equivalent to the difference in power consumption over the term of the ROI... I think I phrased that right.  So if your unit is 2x a power efficient, that also reduces your ROI time factor, even if you disregard your profit after the ROI has been met.

It's all about the power efficiency in the end.

Wow, that added fuel to the fire like throwing water on a campfire adds fuel.

Poor mem... when I last had words with him, it came to light he was declared legally (in Australia anyway) mentally handicapped, so I apologized to him and told him I wouldn't engage with him anymore.  As much as I'd like to respond to him, I won't pick on the mentally challenged, no matter how deluded they are.  His nurse or whatever takes care of him once a week, I think it was, really needs to take away his internet privileges though.

No to USB3 and No wall adapter.

Nope, not a peep.

Na, I'm just waiting for the wife to get home so we can go to a movie.  It's either poke fun at you or play Skyrim... it's a 50/50 thing at the moment.
