I'm sure that's Dave getting you back for giving him "the Knife" as a handle

Gotta quote this one for posterity!  Epic fail Bick... the guy bought 2 Jalapenos that were... wait for it... running TOO FAST!  Damn dude, read!

Growing trend lol.  Damn Bick, you fail so hard sometimes I can't enough catch my breath from laughing.  Have you ever stopped to consider the % is still the same, it's just the amount shipped has increased and that just makes it LOOK like it's increasing?  But that would mean BFL is shipping more than you expected and that's something you will never believe in.

Typical response from you.  How's your latest piggyback scheme going?  You can't seem to get a reliable chip source, so now you're just making a board and forcing the customers to take the responsibility to get their chips.  Guess those who can, do, those who can't, make boards to sell.

Have you tied connecting it to another computer or even switching it to a different USB port?  I know my unit works better on my laptop for some strange reason.

You always did like skewed results.

Sorry, but 99.99% of the complaints *I* see boil down to "Wah, wah, wah, my money making machine won't make the money I thought it would, I want a refund".  You point to yourself as a paragon of virtue in having refunded your hapless customers when you couldn't deliver, but you were able to get a refund yourself on the chips you only bought and did not have to create from scratch.  You had no research or development costs, you just piggybacked on the success of others and so it was easy for you to refund since you bore little of the expense.  You obviously disagree, but these are basically special orders being made.  Orders were taken and quantities of product were bought to satisfy those orders.  Unlike you, they can't call up the chip foundry and ask for a refund on chips they no longer need due to refunds.  As had been stated MANY times, refunds were allowed up until they started full production.  They even had it mandatory that you had to agree to the terms or by default you'd be refunded.

Sorry dude, but I could care less about people and their greed having buyers remorse.  I did my research before buying and I've made several BTC while waiting for my purchase to be filled and have turned those into even more with judicious market management.  Looking at the blogs, my Jalapeno should ship soon and at current rates I'll be making ~$4 a day.  To me that's a win as I'll be making more with it than I was with my GPU when I placed my order and it'll cost me a LOT less for power usage.

Face it dude, you're just a broken record stuck on the same tune over and over again.  Maybe you need to go relax, take a vacation, all this hate must be causing your blood pressure to rise to unhealthy levels. 

He is right though, why would anyone who has problems come here and bitch and moan instead of going to the proper place?  Obviously to created FUD.  The guy that goes on about the power supply over and over is obviously one of these since a replacement could be gotten by RMAing the bad one, but hey, why do that when you can act like stated above and show your true colors in the process?

Bick... you're too hung up on asking about things I am not involved in, I'm not exactly on the board of directors nor am I an engineer working on the designs, so how could I know the answers to your questions?  As to the bets, 10BTC is more than I care to wager even if it were a 'sure thing' cause even sure things fail now and again (kinda like BPM).

You whine at me about a 'safe bet' (He actually said 2 weeks^TM, which is more like before Thanksgiving from when he said it) yet I swear it has already been stated that it won't ship in November, looks like you just want a safe bet as well. 

You seem to fail to see they've cleared the bigest hurdle... Mar/Apr.  They'll be done LONG before March 2014... heck, they'll even be done before the end of the year.  I'll bet you 1BTC right now that they'll be done before Dec 15th.

Wow, the little singles jumped forward about 2.5 weeks.  Kinda shoots a hole in your March 2014 prediction.  The minirig also shoots a hole in your SALES....STOPPED lol.

Since I can neither prove nor disprove tape out, I cannot make a call on it.  I laugh at you and your broken record bleating daily.  Personally, if I were Josh, I woukd never release the information if I had Tape Out 2 months ago just because people like you will keep the company name page one on here bleating about it.  You provide far more advertising due to lack of information than the ads you and others whine so much about being on the forums here.

As to evidence, use your common sense dude.  From the website where people had input their orders, it's clear that March/April were ~50% of BFL's total order book.  Since they are 1/2 way through April on the largest order items and many have already agreed that BFL's total orderbook was in the neighborhood of 3PH, simple logic shows that KnC's claims are complete and utter BS.  Several months ago people kept ascribing the hash provided by BFL to Avalon until they learned that Avalon failed to deliver.  Now KnC is making claims that are so patently false that people like you should be raving like the mad dogs you are over their lying, yet you take it in stride because your stuck on your favorite hate target.  Face it, you have a closed mind and can only hate on one target, so continue your free advertising and I'll continue laughing in the background.

Personally, I call shenanigans.  5PH currently on the network, 70% = 3.5PH.  ~23% or 1.15PH is on the Ghash.io site, leaving .35PH for everyone else.  BFL has shipped more than Ghash.io at this point, meaning KnC couldn't have more than 54%.  So sad even the haters can't do proper math.

I do get things wrong now and then... I predicted 1PH by Sept 1st for example.  I also predicted 3PH before Oct 1st.  Guess I had too much faith in Bitfury, KnC, BPM, Cointerra, etc.  Looks like my 6PH before Nov will soon fall by the wayside as well.  I'd say it sucks to be wrong, but I'm making more money this way

That'd be an awesome job if they paid for my mileage as well!  Even at $.20 a mile I'd make out like a bandit!

I'm sorry Mr. Troll, I didn't understand what you are trying to say.  Maybe if you spoke about things you know rather than things you speculate about I could understand you better.

Technically, no one, as I actually saw it myself on their board.  I was in KC recently and stopped in to talk to Josh one day.  They are up to 4 assembly rooms, not counting the off-site Jalapenos.  They were actually having pizza for lunch that day that had been purchased and sent in from a customer.

You're working off a statement made almost a month and a half ago when they only had 1 assembly room... but hey, it's BFL, they never change, right?  I heard the record was well over 600 units, but I'm sure you'll take that with a grain of salt as well.

I think part of the problem here is you fail to understand this is not a 1 person operation from start to finish.  You need the programmers, the card assemblers, the unit assemblers, the case assemblers, the final assemblers, QA and the testers.  If all they had to do was flash a card and ship it like some companies (IF they had chips <cough BPM cough>), they'd not need 80% of the people. 

Sixteen huh?  You sound really sure about that, too bad you're wrong.

There's 16 in just the one assembly room, another 12 in the 2nd room, and 8 each in the 3rd and 4th rooms.  Not to mention the Jalapeno's are outsourced, so there's even more assemblers there.

The funny part about this is that a lot of people ended up making MORE BTC by BFL's late shipping.  If BFL had shipped on time and at the quantities stated last October, difficulty would have spiked faster than it has lately and you'd have had a year of little to no earnings compared to what you did get.  I calculated that an FPGA Single mining from Oct 1 to the date the first actual single shipped and then that single mining until today would have made about 12% more BTC compared to a rough guess at BFL's orderbook and a 60Gh single delivered Oct 1 would have made to date.
