Pffffftt, I think I was actually one of the few, the very few, that felt initially sorry for you losing those orders. The wordings here between JZ and "the community" were to be expected with the number of people that were just spreading plain out lies and fud, for where there seems no defense possible here. look at the drivel that bick guy posts, how many times he called scam or just presents false data. There's 45,000 units that went out the door at BFL, he can't produce even a 100 genuine failures without adding in 50 that worked on another computer, usb port, pool, etc. And before he starts again, the psu's are not the best indeed.

Do you have the ability to make a point without resorting to childish ad homonym attacks ? Funny to hear that from the guy that got his order cancelled just for ad hominem attacks, that also burned his "case" against BFL. Maybe a comment on the matter that his post(s) actually showed nothing? When you can't defend the failures of BFL products. One must immediately resort to slander. It is Rule 1 in BFL shill handbook. shill (shl) Slang

One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic BFL supporter to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle.

A shill, of course, Butthurtski can't come up with a better response to others showing his failures than that? No room left in your anti-bfl agenda I guess. If you can't find any actual failures, you starts to fantasize about posts being or going to be removed but they aren't, then points to topics made by fraudulent people, or just posts nothings as actual failing units. Ohhh, aluminum heatsinks! Keeps my 8.2 Jala at 30C, must be something good about them. Bicknellski: Trust: -4: -1 / +0(0) Warning: Trade with extreme caution!

Instead of buying a BFL Single for $1200, I bought 50 BTC. I still have them. They don't hash well, but they have made me very happy.
+1 Watch those posts disappear soon Xian01... or potentially the users get banned. Doesn't it seem like there are performance and failure problems with their products based on the volume of reports? Fail again, at home many failing attempts to kill your butthurt fire are you now? All those posting on failed hardware are still there. Fail again. What the poster did not realize, when posting a second post as his first one still had to go through the anti-spam approval, that it was still there. His first one mentioned a BITBURNER being destroyed. When that post took some time to show up, he tried to put an Avalon on scene because his bitburner couldn't generate that much money out of his attempt for compensation. Fail again. 100C the second you power it on, only a real temp in Bickfailsky's butthurtdreamland. Just a failing temp sensor. "Let's keep the trolls of the thread", it would be empty here because troll number one seems to be Bickfailsky himself.... Bicknellski: Trust: -4: -1 / +0(0) Warning: Trade with extreme caution!

Poor customers Puerto? Shall I link to the dump you live in one more time maybe, to show who is the real poor fail in life guy around here? You were crying NO ROI for the late BFL deliveries since January, but guess what, my late single and jalapeno made over 16.4BTC in the last 11 weeks only, ROI enough?
Ah, yes, doxxing for intimidation... Favorite tools of Butterfly Labs for dealing with customer and community backlash. Zerlan has taught you well, Padawan. Disgusting. Hey, you had me on ignore remember? Where was your moral standard hiding when there were vacation pictures of the Zerlan family posted here? Probably hiding behind that bag of dicks you were working on, mister "Josh I'm so sorry please please please can I get my order back"? |

Geez, this pie throwing contest is really getting boring.
Facts:
- I got a 45GH single with smashed heatpipes. Getting RMA number was slow 1 week. Had to pay for delivery?! Lost 2 weeks mining without any hint of compensation.
- I got a 57GH single with heatsinks instead of the advertised heatpipes required for really silent cooling.
But on the upside: BFL delivers a USB device that is compact, try the competition for that. As for W/GH I don't care until summer, need the heat anyhow.
All in all I wished they weren't assholes (yes SLok I'm talking mostly about you) and had some respect for their customers, but place yourself in their shoes, they are making their customers rich! WHICH COMPANY IN THE WORLD DOES THAT!? It's time for everyone to realize this.
Rupy the crybaby, advertised with heatpipes? The Single and Little Single SC, now with heatpipes! In your wet dreams kiddo. If you hadn't posted a zillion times crying over heatpipes!, I want heatpipes!, You scammers withheld my heatpipes! you would have been taken serious. So, did you get any heatpipes yet, (demanded heatpipes with his rma) or are you still without heatpipes. Did I mention the heatpipes? |

Point being take they screwed me badly posts to the other threads.
?? So, there is an agenda, bet it says "butt-hurt" on every day for the last year? Fact is, once you are able to sell tens of thousands of devices, maybe even up to a hundred thousand, there will be a number of devices failing, DOA or after some period of use. Maybe, one day, you will finally be able to turn your pipe dreams into a product and bring it to the market, maybe then you'll realize that DOA's do happen, that products will fail over time, that postal services do fuck up addresses or damage packages and content. Until then, your ill efforts, see the thermal pad comment failure or the "complaint" post someone made about his devices hashing too fast, are of the same caliber as Puerto Libre's drivel, butt-hurt clownery. |

Please guys do not insult Josh he is my hero. I never been banned by anyone until he banned me for life. from his forums. No warnings just a ban.
Dream on, I banned you. under performed.

More evidence to support some 'wonky' heat sink pads from BFL
Re: Normal / Safe Operating Temperatures for BFL Gear?
I reflashed a Jalepeno. Before flashing, it ran around 43c, hashing ~5.2GHz. After flashing AND removing the outer case and applying new thermal paste, it rarely goes over 37c, hashing ~8.3Ghz.
Environment (before and after flashing) = 20c, 45% RH, with a 6" fan blowing towards the Jalepeno. Evidence??? Only for a next fail of the BICKFAILSKI, Before flashing, it ran around 43c, hashing ~5.2GHz. I'll forgive him the GHz, but he actually said the unit is perfect within specs. After flashing AND removing the outer case Hey! He removed the outer case and it ran cooler! Surprise? Only for a Bickfailski of course. applying new thermal paste OMG! He applied thermal paste! Of course he did, to flash a jalapeno you have to remove the sink, and what do you have to do after that? Apply a thermal conductive again, duhhh! with a 6" fan blowing towards the Jalepeno. How crappy, BFL doesn't stick an extra 6" fan in the box to cool their perfectly within range operating Jalapeno! Re: Normal / Safe Operating Temperatures for BFL Gear?
It was badly pasted?
Damn slackers at butterfly!!!
Question. No answer. Let's conclude! Fail. |

I understand where you're coming from. We'd really like to automate the entire setup. What it boils down to is that we are made up mainly of engineers. Sure, we could work on the site and automating the setup but that would pull time away from miner production. We're a small outfit and we'd like to keep it that way to keep costs down.
As I said, I see your point. We are planning on improving things but there's lots to do and not a lot of time to do it. I hope this explains the situation we're in.
Hi, at least pick a btc processor or exchange that doesn't make your units priced higher in btc than in dollars, than at other exchanges like mtgox or bitcoin.de. Paying through btc-e is $1342 higher on a $9903 order, almost 14%. |

You just can't get quality assembly like that just anywhere you get that at BFL... nothing like having to do your own heat sink paste. Is this a DIY kit or a production model? Fuck me what an abortion.
Yep, that's how thermal pads look when you take a sink off, unknown to you? So besides not knowing or caring to actually understand the relevance or even follow ups of posts you say come from buyers with failing units from which you, how conveniently, only post snippets of text without showing links to the topics you copy/paste from, there are several posts clearly from people that post the same in multiple threads which you present as separate cases. Even after people "fix" their units at the spot after being told how to, or even complain as a joke that their unit runs not as advertised, as in "too fast", you think to have a case. Bickfailsky should be a better qualification after all your ill efforts so far. "Bicknellski

I have Eligius set as back-up pool, 6 days ago went back to my first pool . Since then nothing happened, still says "approximately 0.03927529 BTC remaining to enter payout queue (mined 0.12btc), you will enter the payout queue, due to inactivity, in approximately 6 days, 16 hours and 43 minutes."
I think if additional shelved shares get paid to your total due to a nice run of lucky blocks it resets the 1-week timer. As I recall, it actually says something like "If you remain inactive, and the pool does not pay towards any of your shelved shares, then you will enter the payout queue, due to inactivity, in approximately 6 days, 6 hours and 39 minutes." Estimated Position in Payout Queue Approximately 0.03927529 BTC remaining to enter payout queue. If you remain inactive, and the pool does not pay towards any of your shelved shares, then you will enter the payout queue, due to inactivity, in approximately 6 days, 16 hours and 43 minutes. Thanks, I noticed that shelved shares info, it has been at 0.36 (I'm guessing, don't recall what it actually was a long time ago) and I noticed it went to Shares rewarded 93.69% some time ago (never saw that as coin going towards payout btw), so that 0.12btc can be at Eligius forever, as long as Shelved shares are rewarded? |

I think admins see an ip-logo under every post showing the poster's ip when hoovering the mouse pointer over it. at least that's what I've seen on other forums.

If you can't find an ip from an email exchange you had, or from his wallet address access, it will be hard. Don't expect any help from the admins here. Maybe if you explained it at knc they could look into their logs, if willing and able.

That tilting looks weird. Get that sink off, put new thermal paste on the chips, and put the sink back. Better leave the side casing (both parts) and top plate off and have the fan blowing down on he sink, do the last only when you're really sure you want to run it without the side casing. Much better cooling and you halved the noise too. I get about 10-13 degree C. above ambient temp on a heavy overclocked jalapeno this way.

There is no 1.0 other than the one on original which can not be retrieved from it in useful way, or found elsewhere. Your best shot is trying the official 1.2.5 for Little Singles, or the one ckolivas compiled, which behaves better imo. What is led4 btw? You did keep the heatsink on when flashing? Power cycle with at least 20 seconds between power off and power on.

I recognize a lot of your story from my 7GH jalap flash with the standard 1.2.5 FW, then I tried ckolivas' 1.2.5 and all was well again. Let the case front/sides and back plate off though, as the top plate, and have the fan blowing down getting 8.25GH average at 30-31C.
Thanks for the tip, I did end up trying ckolivas 1.2.5 and it improved the HW error rate quite a bit on the one working ASIC lol.  Should have flashed that version right from the get-go. Other ASIC still doesn't even seem to be recognized, though. Heatsink was snugged down tight and everything looked good when I had the case off. Only potential problem I can think of is one of the ASICs isn't entirely covered by the aluminum heatsink, actually a thread on the BFL forums about this. I didn't think too much of it when I first got it and opened it up since I didn't figure BFL would ship them out like this if it could cause problems, but almost wonder now if maybe that created hotspots on the ASIC or caused it to get hot enough to go belly up. Of course quieter/lower RPM fan and overclocking probably didn't help either, but for all I know it would have gone out sooner rather than later because of this even running it stock. Are the heatsink mounting holes off compared to the good sink/board? Looks like some were 180 degrees turned when they drilled the holes, or are a standard model and some mirrored models slipped through. I would still ask for an rma in this case, can't imagine this would run proper for long.. http://www.butterflylabs.com/technical-support/ Mention the chips are not covered completely by the sink. |
