No point writing one...nobody would ever read it.

Haha I knew something like this was coming. I mentioned the goalpost shifting in another thread. "It's a scam because there's no ASICs" has become "It's a scam because they missed their power targets".

But but but it's meant to be a scam! How can they ship!? The ASICs aren't real !!!

Your sig is not "about BFL's shipping problems". It says outright that it's a scam and that no ASICs have been shipped, and yet at least one ASIC has been shipped.

As expected, you and the other anti-BFL are shifting the goalposts to make sure BFL is still in the wrong.

Cheers.

Serious question for BFL: are you getting some hardware to ck? The cgminer team needs some love.

I don't think you have any fucking idea what you're talking about.

Wrong.

Edit so that this doesn't go back and forth forever:

A lie would be saying "We shipped in October" in November when they haven't shipped in October. If they say "We intend to ship in October" but something happens and they can't, that statement doesn't retroactively become a lie. A statement is true or false at the time that it is made; to knowingly make a false statement is to lie, by definition. Anything else is not a lie.

You see this kind of thing in politics all the time. A politician says "I will not do X".  They are later forced to do X due to external factors, and their opponent then (incorrectly) calls them a liar, even if they honestly intended to not do X. Or worse, they are forced to do Y which is kinda like X yet not X, their opponent then misrepresents Y as X and then calls them a liar. The general public is often too stupid to see that Y is not X and that even doing X would not have made it a lie...

broken promise != lie

I expected that those who were emotionally invested in the whole "omg BFL is a scam" thing would have trouble accepting otherwise and would probably look for other reasons for BFL to be in the wrong, but honestly I'm slightly surprised that PL outright advocated fraud.

Try downgrade to 13.1.

Try a pool, any pool. Tune intensity (and any other value you want) until shares are submitting correctly for at least an hour. Switch back to solo when everything is good.

You could always maximise a window so you can't see your desktop. I don't even know what's on mine...

This is intentional trickery on Microsoft's part. The low end tablets don't have an x86 processor, so they can only run "Metro apps". None of the normal miners (ufasoft, diablo, cgminer, phoenix etc.) will work. The higher end tablets are effectively a netbook in a tablet form factor, so they can run normal .exe applications.

It looks like most of them are 0 fee...is it possible to push through a much higher fee transaction and get it accepted before one of the fraudulent ones, thereby invalidating the whole chain? Forgive my relative ignorance on this matter.

They are comparing the historic prices of BFL and Avalon. If you're going to use the current price for the BFL unit then you must do the same for the Avalon, which is more than $10000 at current prices.

What the fuck. The low end unit was never intended to compete with Avalon. Their fucked 50 or 60 gh/s singles should be using around 200-400 watts. Add in a raspberry pi and it's still way less than Avalon.

You're confusing the supposed large-scale mining conspiracy with a single fucking 5GH/s demo unit. A one minute video demo is not what any serious miner would consider to be "mining".

Here's a pro-tip: if they were running a secret mining operation, then they wouldn't be running it from that laptop.


You butthurt pre-orderers are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find more reasons to hate them.

If they make them to order, then there are infinite chips. Same as any other type of chip really.

They're QFN48, I believe, which is a hell of a lot easier to solder. You can even get sockets for those and plug them into a breadboard. Cooling might be a problem, but it would be possible to have an arduino (or similar) based 1 chip mini miner.
