But why not the same "concern" over avalon or asicminer products. Thats what makes this a troll thread the fake concern over it being compliant.
Because BFL started. It was a BFL shill that gave all the other ASIC producers a hard time claiming they better get FCC approval or they would be shut down. Then BFL reinforced it by claiming to have FCC approval in the works to scare the other ASIC manufacturers away. Now it turns out BFL never did have FCC approval in the works, and it was simply a scare tactic to eliminate any competition. |

Does Avalon have fcc approval  ? Avalon isn't a US company, nor did they ever claim to have applied for FCC approval. |

Everyone that I know has acknowledged that BFL has shipped 6 or 8 Jalapenos.
BFL hasn't shipped any Jalapenos. Jalapenos were flat USB-powered silent mining devices. |

Of course I read your post, you claimed they were trying to stuff 150watts into the original single SC case and I said that you are totally wrong, that's not what they are trying to do and I stick by that.
5 GH/s = 30 watts 25 GH/s = X watts Can you solve for X? |

"BFL_StevenM (Shoutbox): We are trying to fit the 25/30 in the original Single SC case with modification, but no promises."
What idiots. The Single case was originally designed for 20 watts, and that's a nice thermal envelope for it. Then when reality hit and the actual FPGA single output 80+ watts, they had to stick another loud fan underneath it to keep it alive. Now they want to cram some 150 or more watts into the same case? Idiots! Except that you are totally wrong, they don't want to cram some 150watts into the same case, that's why they have designed a new larger case for it, the topic of this thread. Did you even bother to read the quote I quoted? "the original Single SC case" |

Yea right, troll away, it's about the same size as a Core 2 duo and it's heatsink/fan, which runs at 65watts all day. So the Jalapeno at 30watts is going to be a lot easier to cool.
Not when they stick it in a closed case with minimal ventilation. |

How do you send a signed message with the BTC-address we paid Zefir with if the payment has already been sent?
bitcoind signmessage <youraddress> "your message" It'll output a big long number. To verify it, anyone can then do: bitcoind verifymessage <youraddress> <biglongnumber> "your message" |

Ok, today I met orsoc CEO Johan personally and I can confirm 100% this is not a scam
He is interested in bitcoin and knows a lot about it. He acknowledged that they have been discussing this product offering with kncminer for weeks and there will be news published later this week
They will have a more concrete technical specification for the product soon
That's nice and all, but their published time schedule is just not believable. |

But but but it's meant to be a scam! How can they ship!? The ASICs aren't real !!!
So those are 4.5 GH/s USB powered Jalapenos that people ordered, or are they baited and switched to some other inferior product? 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". Nice way to downplay the bait-and-switch scam. They weren't just "targets". They were "honest abe", guaranteed, power levels. They didn't ship what they guaranteed they would ship. Classic Bait And Switch SCAM. |

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.
There are lots of different kinds of lies. Putting forth ship dates that have no chance to be met, is a "misleading" lie. Being in "final stages of development" for 7 months is a "puffery" lie. Promising "1 watt consumed per gigahash" when they haven't even built a prototype is a "fabrication" lie. |

Buying debt because "BFL won't ship." Yeah.. good luck with that. How about you lay some BTC on that in the form of a bet? Lets say 500 BTC? How many units do you consider as being valid for "shipped?" 5 units? I'm more than willing to do escrow.
How about you first pay up on the 1000 BTC bet you already lost? |
