Pretty slick. I'm impressed with your ability to get things done.

Everybody is in the same boat now. Avalon's small pre-order seems like the front runner to ship first at this point.

Shelter from endless FRN inflation tax.

Dividend failed!

Hey no problem. Thanks for the...umm...evidence.

Sure thing buddy! Just lemme get these clock buffers installed. Things will be right as rain!

Can the insults dude in drag, at least until you learn to spell. If you'd like to debate and exchange viewpoints I got no problem with that.


Are you suggesting something has changed? Anything to back that up? I'm not interested in BFL's excuses for bending the pooch over. I distrust everything they say anyway. Even if their stories were consistent, and they are not, they wouldn't pass the stench test. The fact that a convicted thief works for BFL is a great reason for them to keep their noses clean, to be be honest and transparent, but this has not happened.


...okay. I generally consume under 1/3 Ozt of AG/bottle Pinot Noir, Syrah, or Shiraz. I'll take the bASIC01, pocket the difference between it and the overpriced single SC, and pick up a couple cases while enjoying my extra 12Gh/s thanks.  


That's not my problem now is it? Tom seems like a savvy businessman to me, I think he can fend for himself.

Tom has never said he had production PCBs made that I'm aware of. Don't care about the power supplies, I'm a computer tech and have dozens. Tom began construction after BFL from all I've read, do you have contrary evidence? Actually Tom admitted to having a prototype, it was BFL that denied having one. You seem to be confused.


BFL has ASICs? Well then they're good to go right? ...except they don't work, or they're not "perfect" enough, depending on which BFL rep is disseminating. "Custom shipping packaging"? You're kidding right?


Do you have information to share? BFL has missed multiple timelines. Do YOU expect them to ship by the end of December? How about January 1, 2013? When? I do not know Tom will miss another scheduled ship date. His track record even with this miss is far far better than BFL's, however if January 31, 2013 comes around and the spinmeisters at BFL have managed to spit out a working ASIC and I do not have one from Tom, I will likely cancel.
 

Correct, yes that's my interpretation. BFL has been advertising shipping "scheduled" for October for much of 2012. The delays are always billed as minor hiccups. Clock buffers being added to almost perfect chips...blah blah. That's crap and I don't buy it.


Who said I was unbiased? I didn't. I'm biased toward the company offering the most Gh at the lowest price that I believe stands the best chance of getting a product out of the lip service state, into a box, and onto my doorstep. It's only a side issue that Tom has integrity and Josh/Inaba does not IMO, you're welcome to your own.  

YES! Moreover I have a ONCE IN A LIFETIME investment opportunity for you my friend!

Yes peasants...you know, pitchfork carrying farm boys. Like yours truly.

I expect them to not play word games with my hard earned money and therefore labor. Anybody reading this is going to believe this means they're shipping in October, but that's NOT what it means. It's like an official statement from Bill Clinton. Examine Josh's statements more closely and you will find this is a recurring theme. The man says NOTHING without a whole bunch of weasel clauses.

I do. Either BFL's COO is incompetent and cannot get anything straight or he's disingenuous and keeps manufacturing BS stories. Given that they keep making excuses and have contradicted each other I'll take the later explanation.

Not exactly encouraging news coming from BTCFPGA lately, that's for sure.

I dunno, if Tom doesn't have chips then he lied as far as I'm concerned and I'm not there at this point. I'd rather have working chips than pics of a board that may or may not be a production unit populated by chips that aren't ASICs which is my current understanding of the silly propaganda stunt BFL pulled. I still think BTCFPGA is better positioned than BFL to ship AND their products are a whole lot more affordable.

January is not far away though and both Avalon and BTCFPGA are supposed to ship something. I have no idea what BFL is saying now, other than the fairy tale end of December stuff which doesn't even pass the smell test.

People are trained almost from birth to measure the value of things in fiat funny money rather than a currency that has intrinsic value like gold, silver, and BTC. As a result most people will just stare at you blankly if you suggest they convert their FRNs to BTC. You're right about it being a PITA to convert FRNs to BTC. The least painful way I've found is Coinbase and it's far from anonymous, but it is easy.

The peasants would likely revolt if they even had a clue that inflation tax theft existed. A candidate for POTUS standing there holding up a 1964 dime on every major network and exclaiming that it still buys pretty much the same amount of gasoline it did when it was minted didn't even phase the fluoridated masses.

Ja. That guy recently suggested BFL could still ship by the end of the year. When the COO of a company says that it carries weight. When the COO of a company says that and it's 99.9% likely to turn out to be more magic fairy dust it just adds to the credibility gap. I rather buy from the company that levels with me, particularly when the news sucks. 

Extra bonus is good! ...most good!

Some lenders have done this. The taxi cab guy seemed like a scammer to me, but some lenders requested pics of cabs and I believe got them. I believe he's late on his payments now.

Yeah I got it. The October delivery thing was just to draw the pre-orders away from competitors.

It's December 5, 2012 and BFL is hoping to receive respun chips next week. Does anyone seriously believe this company is going to ship out anything but more BS by January 1, 2013?
