This gives them 2 more months to get them to customers. As soon as I get the money Josh's mother owes me, I will add more to the bet.

order numbers would do you no good

they are scattered all around due to people using other payment methods such as CC and dwolla.

and yes I am very painfully refunding everyone to the very last penny.

I have not invested the last 2+ years of my life in bitcoin to go out a scammer. Not to mention my faith demands I must repay all my debts and I take that very seriously.



Milter_miles stop trolling - your not even a customer of mine, you have no right to any information about this refund progress or anything else regarding BTCFPGA or its customers. Your just a sad sad man who enjoys commentating on the failures of others.

If the position of Satan ever opens up you should seriously put in an application.




Anyways like I said I have made arrangements where I can get bitcoins every day now, so every day I will refund as many bitcoins as I can until the remaining customers are taken care of. We are getting really close now - unfortunately the spread sheet I was given by dave was not complete so I keep having to add to it, from emails but I think even that is subsiding.

I have also made a point to answer all emails sent to my refund management address btcfpga@gmail.com within 24 hours and in most cases much less than that

so if you need me - that is the place to contact me.

how much are you looking to pay for modminer quads?

if someone wanted to spend the money the ModMiner Quad could easily mine litecoins , due to the collapse of BTCFPGA I am not in a position to follow through with this but we have a theoretically working design where every FPGA card has a SODIMM slot on the back of it where you can pop in cheap laptop memory up to 8gb per card for a total of 32 gb of memory per FPGA miner, it would be ddr2 memory and operate at a speed of 3gbps

If anyone is serious about funding this project in any way send me an email to thomas@thomasvanriper.com


dont worry this scammer tag is almost gone, for those who dont know we failed on our ASIC project and it has taken awhile to pay everyone back, the torches and pitch forks came out and I was given a scammer tag despite the numerous contributions I have made to this community and cyrptocoins in general. I should be a hero/VIP member again in about 2 weeks, when all the refunds for the failed project are completed.


With that being said any serious investor should contact me and we can talk to the design firm in california directly - any serious investor could send the money directly to them, at this point I do not want to handle anyone's funds personally until I am in good standing on the forum again.


they are a very long standing, reputable and well known design firm, and if you do anything with electronics in California its likely you already know them.


The down payment on the project is 18k and its expected to cost around 40k to bring to working prototype, this includes them writing the firmware so the microcontroller and FPGA can access the memory. Getting this miner made compatible with bfg/cg miner would be easy enough from my programmer friends at the above mentioned projects.

But like I said in my current situation I would not want to handle anyone's money directly  but if someone is seriously interested in making an FPGA Litecoin miner - we already have the design modifications quoted and ready to go.

Depending on how many units you would want to produce they would cost around $400-$600 each to produce.

I already have a very good relationship with an assembly house that has produced hundreds of ModMiner Quads (patent pending) for me and this is a simple modification, I can also obtain FPGA chips at the absolute lowest rate/

So if anyone is seriously interested in commissioning something like this to be made let me know and I will plug you into the right people that can make it happen for you. I would only ask for a small percentage of sales which would go directly to paying my dwindling list of creditors.

if anyone is not familar with the ModMiner Quad you can check it out at http://btcfpga.com


it mines bitcoins at 840 mh/s and uses 40 watts - I have no idea how fast or efficient it would mine litecoins with the added memory modules.

selling an actual REAL working product for an extremely late vapor ware order would be an extremely bad idea. Even if it becomes an reality you wont see the damn things for at least another year.

Just look at how long it took them to fulfill their FPGA device orders.

Ordering now you will be lucky if you receive them in under 2 years. If they actually exists. Of course they are going to keep posting updates claiming they are "becoming a reality" the term alone is ridiculous. I would not be surprised if they took in close to a billion dollars in pre-sales.

If it was not a reality at one time its not likely to become a reality any time soon.

I went down this same road and I can tell you if they dont have working prototypes after close to a year - there is something seriously wrong there.

I may have a scammer tag but it will be gone long before BFL ships anything if they ever do. I have been on this forum long before 90% of the people currently on here and have mined with every type of technology that exists.

I started out 3 years ago with a single 5870 that got me 8 coins a day. Call me what you will but I happen to know a bit about this business.

there are only two good investments involving bitcoin right now. Either buy Avalon or Buy Bitcoins - these are the only winning options at this current time.

If people think I am only refunding small orders they are completely wrong.

I have so far refunded all my refunds 10k and over including a 26k order.


Today I refunded orders ranging from $60-$6000

and the BTC I had is now gone.


This is taking a little longer than I thought because people are emailing me about orders that were not added by dave to the original spread sheet.

The good news is I have made a deal with someone who has a large amount of Bitoins and we have a payment system were I can buy them everyday.

So instead of doing refunds on just fridays, I will be doing small amount of refunds every single day.

If you did not get one today I am sorry, I am out of Bitcoin and yes it does help to email me in a polite way.

Like anyone else on the earth I respond much better to polite understanding people than I do to beligerant angry people who yell and threaten me.

Like I said from the beginning, EVERY SINGLE PERSON WILL BE REPAID.

I am not a scammer, if I was a scammer I could of easily taken the 1.5 + million dollars and go some place where no one could find me and live like a king
however that is not my style. For one I am a Christian, it does not mean I think I am better than anyone else I am a sinner just like  everyone else in the world, and for two I believe in some sort of karma, and this refunding process is something that I must resolve or I will never be able to move on with my life.

If I could pay you all back today , I would but this is the way it has to work, I am lucky I was able to make this arrangement - I should be able to refund $3k worth of refunds every single day this week, and make a bigger run on this friday from my other coin purchasing connection.

Today I sent out about $15K worth of refunds.


I hope everyone has a wonderful easter weekend, You will not see me log back into this account until next friday and I will give you an update of where we are at that time, Please remember a polite email to btcfpga@gmail.com will get you much farther than blowing up the forum thread, making threats and acting like a child.

I am manning up on this situation and making it right, I need a little more time to complete it, but we are almost there.

I guarantee you, this scammer tag will be gone before BFL ships a single ASIC.

If I was not in debt I would place a bet on it - but all I can do right now is make the guarantee


BFL has been holding onto millions of pre-order monies for almost a year, they continue to make excuses and have still not proven that they have any working prototype what so ever. On the website they show BFL FPGA singles with the cases off as the product picture. The Proof they give is photo-shopped incomplete boards. I am sorry but I do not see a BFL ASIC shipping any time soon if ever. I am pointing this out because I personally believe they are having the same problems that I had. Sonny is no more technologically skilled than I am , and no matter how much money you throw at a project if you dont have the right people and the right connections you will never get anywhere. The group of people who can design an asic that can mine Bitcoins is extremely small and most of them have their own projects. Josh has become more and more bizzarre and out of touch with reality. The house of cards at BFL is about to fall and again the only reason I am pointing this out is because at least I had the balls to admit that my project failed and I am making reparations to get everyone their money back. I could easily lie and deceive just like they are doing and string everyone along for months and months and continue to collect money but that is the difference between a legit guy like myself and you know who. Don't take my word for it, just read the forums, look past the lies and see whats really going on. I am the one with the scammer tag but I guarantee you if BFL fails at this project not a single one of you will see a refund from them outside of a court order.


Thats my two cents for the week. Thank you to everyone for being so incredibly patient. We are very close to closing out all these refunds and like I said they will be coming in on a daily basis now, which I hope helps you all.

As always contact me at btcfpga@gmail.com and you are guaranteed a response within 24 hours. All other email addresses that were used for BTCFPGA - you will get no response - you must email the gmail account. I am doing this as a way to keep record of all Refund related email and not have it mixed in with other things.

Thank you and have a  good night - It hurt me badly to receive this scammer tag from people I consider my brothers but I realize why It happened and I dont blame them. Anything I said negative to anyone about it, please accept my apology.

Tom

I did not hold on to any money. I sold the incoming btc. Every week I buy Bitcoin at the going rate and every week I refund it at the going rate.

If you wanted your BTC Bar you should of accepted it. You would of received your prize just like all the other prize winnners did.

Its very unfortunate it happened like this and I apologize, but you have now been refunded in full and I now consider this matter closed.



If your refund seems around .8 btc short its because I am doing all the DHL refunds at the same time. its just easier that way - the way this spreadsheet is setup.

anyways ill be back later to continue more refunds.

btw its likely your refund already went out or is going out later today...



if you need to ask me a question please send email to btcfpga@gmail.com

its just by chance I saw this thread

for the record I dont even have an ebay account.

btw: for those who dont follow the other thread:

You relinquished your right to that 100 btc bar when you traded it for a 1 bASIC mining device order. Every other contest winner received their prize within days of the contest end (I believe there were 4 other contest winners) If you wanted the bar you would of received it just like the other contest winners. You can't change your mind now because the value of the bar has multiplied in value. I'm sorry it turned out this way - but this is the way it turned out. Now you have already been refunded in full the value of the 1 bASIC mining device order. I am sorry you do not think this is fair and I am sorry you feel you were cheated. Perhaps you should of accepted the 100BTC Bar when it was offered to you. I do not know where you are located but if you want to come to NY and taket his to small claims court I can guarantee you I would win this case. Refund has been made. Case closed, have a nice day.

well its friday again...

I just sent out several refunds,

I have to go do something- but will be back later to resume refunds.



BTW: miter_myles is not and has never been a customer of BTCFPGA/BitcoinASIC

I don't owe him a penny.

he is just a mean nasty person who enjoys seeing others suffer.

I will make this easy on you, any information I have I am willing to share. I never meant to scam anyone. If I did I would of kept the money, this is like scamming 101. If your going to scam someone you usually keep the money. I lost everything with this failed business venture and If there were any way I could pay every single person back right away I would.

Latest news:

Last night I paid nearly 1000 btc in refunds to 32 different individuals, and also resolved a 26k debt.

Today I am sending nearly 10kk in western union payments to resolve some other larger debts.

I am going to be accumulating more Bitcoin and will be making the next batch of refunds next friday on 03/22

I understand the anger of those who did not make it into this refund batch, and I am sorry that some of you think that somehow I profited from this. I am now refunding people from my own pocket. All items on the website were listed in a USD price. I used Bit-Pay to process the payments. The items we sold on our website were priced in USD not in BTC therefore When you purchased the items the USD amount was calculated into a Bitcoin amount based on the current exchange rate (mtgox). This is done by Bit-pay and this is the reason that when you purchase something from Bit-pay you only have a 15 minute window to pay the amount before the transaction is canceled. The same things goes for refunds. When you purchased something for 1000.00 you are only going to get that 1000.00 back, and because the refunds in this case are being done in Bitcoin the USD amount is calculated back to the current exchange rate (mtgox) at the time of the refund. Any other Bitcoin business would do this the same exact way, unless something is specifically priced in BTC, you will get back what you paid in USD.

this is the only email address I am using to handle refunds and I have been answering emails every day. I have Zero unanswered emails at this current time at that address.

About BTCFPGA
It's legal status remained as being a sole proprietorship which means the entire liability is with me and me alone. I know we had called ourselves LLC pending at one time and We had LLC papers produced but never filed them .

This is not about the scammer tag. This is about doing the right thing. I urge everyone to please be patient, if you have any thing you want to talk about or you have a special situation or if there is anything I can do other than what I have been doing which is paying back what I have please email me.

I will likely not be posting back here again until 03/22

I will be available everyday at btcfpga@gmail.com

Everyone will be paid back.

i paid 1000 btc in refunds today

It will take me until next friday to get enough btc together to make another big dent

but luckily we are *ALMOST* finished with refunds, its actually not bad considering we had about 1500 paying customers and only about a dozen are without their refund, if I did not get to you this week Please continue to have patience It will take me until next friday to accumulate a large amount of btc so I can finish off these refunds

if you need me you can email btcfpga@gmail.com - I return emails every single day


thanks!

1000 BTC Paid out today.

Next friday hopefully I can take care of the few remaining customers who did not get refunded tonight.

This has nothing to do with a scammer tag and the pic is just a generic pic that comes with the forum software - you can have it too if you want to look like a strung out kurt cobain.

as always contact me at btcfpga@gmail.com

see you next friday for more refunds

hugs and kisses

-cp

what was your order number? why are you so hostile? I love you man. I wish I could give you a hug.
