You don't need the Oculus Rift right now to prototype or design your software. You would stand a much better chance of being taken seriously if you had a software demo completed first, mapping mouse and keyboard to show your expected experience, before asking for funds soliciting donations for a Rift. Adjusting your demo's renderer to handle the Rift should be a reasonably simple undertaking. I am trying to start a small software company that will develop adult/porn 3D interactive virtual reality programs for the new Oculus Rift VR headset.
Right now the Oculus Rift is in development stage, but I need to raise 300 dollars which is the cost of the developers kit, which includes the VR headset.

I have a feeling in my pants. Just heard from the cat. Shipping today.
Regarding power: that image is one of the test boards, not from the emerald or sapphire batches, there for not representative of what we'll get. Ours have bigger heat sinks, and lack the thing at the rear.

https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/162-sorry-i-wasnt-clear.html We know that the claim of "ignoring the mean ones" has been verified as a lie. --- BFL_Jody , 05-19-2013 at 05:55 PM A few more Jalapenos went out Saturday and a few more Jalapenos will go out Monday. We have answered more than 1,000 emails in the last week. I enjoy reading your comments, but I don't have time to answer them individually. I am answering emails 7 days a week as are many of my employees. We appreciate your nice comments and ignore the mean ones. We understand your frustration--we are as anxious as any of you to ship all these orders.

I think the majority of you on either side of this are a bunch of idiots. With my current ignore list this thread turns into a big blank page. I guess I thought there would be "some" sort of information on recent developments but with all of the trolls (both sides), this thread should be closed.
I appreciate your assessment, and threads getting occasionally derailed is a fact-of-life on forums. This thread is important to publicly document and discuss some very serious concerns about Butterfly Labs' customer service (or lack thereof) issues, public relations, progress on this ASIC project since it has been announced over 11 months ago, along with serving to educate prospective customers on their business practices. Community service, if you will. Trolls are a fact of life. Best to just add them to your ignore list. |

Welcome to my ignore list. Your failures at attempts of logic, reason, or anything approaching rational thought processes in this thread has twisted my synapses into a pretzel trying to figure out what your point is. I need to draw the line when you reduce yourself to "I know you are but what am I ?" inanity. No you are a troll beucase you are one. Caught in a lie in your own warped mind. It's funny you think I would need to lie about eating in michelinstar rests. It's not some sort of life accomplishment . It was dinner and ill eat dinner again tomorrow night and the night after.

Really ? I submited a ticket, asking a shipping estimate if I were to order now. End of july was the answer. That's like... Mmmmh.... Yeah! 2 months!  I don't see how that could be possible given everything we know about Butterfly Labs' progress on this project. Good luck to you. |

It is pretty clear cut. No 1000 BTC has been donated. They have shipped. They missed the target so the 1000 should have been paid.
Why does he not have a scammer tag?
Theymos has been notably silent on these calls for action  |

Stockholm syndrome does not apply here becuase you are a hostage by choice from the beginning.
Carrot and horse analogy works. proceed.
Hostage and Choice are mutually exclusive initially. ... From Wikipedia Stockholm syndrome, or capture–bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them, and sometimes the feeling of love for the captor shows. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness.[1][2] The FBI's Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly 27% of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.[3] Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which describes “strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other.”[4] One commonly used hypothesis to explain the effect of Stockholm syndrome is based on Freudian theory. It suggests that the bonding is the individual’s response to trauma in becoming a victim. Identifying with the aggressor is one way that the ego defends itself. When a victim believes the same values as the aggressor, they no longer become a threat.[5] Battered-person syndrome is an example of activating the capture–bonding psychological mechanism, as are military basic training and fraternity bonding by hazing.[6][7][8] Stockholm syndrome is sometimes erroneously referred to as Helsinki syndrome.[9][10] |

Stockholm syndrome is being held captive. People could have bailed on their bfl order anytime. So, try a diff analogy.
I don't think you understand the psychology behind Stockholm Syndrome. Kidnap victims never start out loving their captors. |

What it does is chills the customer base, the attempt is to stifle dissent.
Customers will fear similar retribution if they voice their displeasure.
This is called Gestapo tactics. Look to Germany to see how well that worked out for them in 1945. |

Place an order now, when can receive？
And use BTC payment, 10 minutes is enough?
If you order now, you might receive something by early 2014. Unlikely before Christmas of this year. |

I plan on grabbing a 5GHash/sec box from Butterfly pretty soon. Or at least placing the order pretty soon...
I might recommend ASICMINER-PT instead. It is not likely you will see any recent order with Butterfly Labs before 2014. |
