Micon pulled that number from.... somewhere no one knows. And Internet being what it is it keeps getting repeated. I'd seriously doubt they reached 10% of that number. Note that my guesstimate is pulled from .... somewhere no one should want to know..

Do you have something that will give me laser eyes?

At this point does BFL know if this supposed ASIC team even exists or if there is instead just some dude in Cali
- charging them for some supposed ASIC design,
- "testing" the nonexistent design on a "simulator", thus determining a need for repackaging
- charging them again for supposedly redesigning the ASIC to account for the repackaging
- stringing them along with renders of empty asic designs (see the render of an essentially empty chip BFL showed in January),
- milking them again and again for so called bullet runs and expedited handling (that invariably never seem to happen),
- is laughing all the way to the bank while Josh is staring like a deer into the headlights of the incoming failure train.

Bonus points if the dude in Cali is an extended member of Familia Vasileiadis siphoning off the funds out of the company for Sonny and Chris' benefit while the rest of BFL including Josh have no idea they are being had.

Maybe BFL time is way behind standard time? It would explain the delays.

What for? Are there any bitcoin businesses that would need to analyze social media demographics?

That's all well and good, but have you stopped drinking?

Hah, this thread got bumped more than a BFL wafer.

Buyer beware. Remember that purchase and possession of brass knuckles is illegal in pretty much every civilized country.

> Our customers are primarily from the government, military, telecommunications and banking industries.

Aren't those the very things Bitcoiners are fighting? Is BFL an elaborate government plan to succor Bitcoins out of the free market and under statist control? Are BFL supporters secretly government agents?

I expect a compensation of at least 25 bitbucks for finding your shitty beggar threads all over the place.

The people behind Intersango are the people behind Bitcoinica, which facilitated one of the biggest thefts in Bitcoin history. The operators of Bitcoinica/Intersango are currently facing a lawsuit because of that.

Why is even anyone still using Intersango after the Bitcoinica fiasco?

Yes. But does Burning Fire Labs know?

Digital Monetary Trust? Interesting.

Here's a tidbit: Before Butterfly Labs was Butterfly Labs, they were known as DigiComLabs (they still have not found and excised every reference to that in their source code).

I always took the "Com" part to stand for computing or communications. What if it stood for Commerce?

By dremeling the hell out of it.

Expect "We had been promised delivery of the Dremel by today, but unfortunately the Fedex man came and gone without it. I am right now trying to find out what happened to it" real soon now.

Also: "What the hell do you expect me to do? Drive to Lowe's and buy one?"

Factor in the impending crash of the bubble.

That's ASICMiner on BTCGuild.
