And still you fail to provide any proof.  Gosh, this is interesting.  I wonder why you're unable to provide any proof?  The "Well, I'm sure it's around here somewhere" argument doesn't exactly work here.  So not only are you a failure at business, you're also a failure at... well... looks like everything so far.

 

Heh... that's what I thought.  The "Busineess for Dummies" book that you read didn't work out and now you're throwing a tantrum to try to take attention away from the fact that your entire business is a failure from start to finish.  Meanwhile, in BFL land, more product than any other company has been shipped.  More hashrate than any other company has been shipped.  Poor Bick is left looking at his failure of a plan wondering what went wrong.  So sad.

Once again, this is why you don't understand how bitcoin works.  Let me see if I can dumb it down enough for you to understand:

When excess hashrate is on the network, the difficulty rises until it reaches an equilibrium with the hashrate so that 6 blocks are created per hour.  If BFL had shipped everything in November, the difficulty would be far in excess to where it is now (and even more than to where it was a month ago), thus your profitability would have declined.  Once again, the only way you scenario can be true is if you're the only one receiving a unit.  That would not have happened, therefore your premise is false.  

No, you do not understand bitcoin at all, sorry.

Here's the deal, Bick:

You had a "paint by numbers" business plan and you are, in every sense of the word, a failure at even that.  You had a proven board design (by someone else).  You had proven chips (by someone else). All you had to do was slap two separate parts together, chips and board... and you couldn't even accomplish that much.  You are a terrible businessman.  You have absolutely zero ability to follow through, even when everything, down to the last detail is handed to you on a silver platter.  

On the other hand, BFL managed to create a chip from scratch, design and manufacture numerous boards.  Design and manufacture cases, power supplies, heat sinks, cables and a whole host of other parts.  BFL managed to see the entire project through from the very start and has shipped thousands upon thousands of units, and you can't even manage to ship a handful of units that you snap together and throw in a box.  Then you have the unmitigated gall to come here and complain about BFL?  Hahaha... you are pathetic.  Is your constant complaining a way to make yourself feel better after realizing you are such a failure?  What is it?  You had everything available to you and you still couldn't follow through... guess it's not so easy manufacturing things, is it?  Even when you don't have to, you know, put any work into it... you still can't do it.  But sure, tell us how you know a business should be run.  Regale us with tales of how you know exactly what to do to run a successful business, I'd love to hear it. 

Like I said, provide proof.  You have yet to do so.  Until you do, all you're doing is lying or at best, proffering an ill-informed opinion.

Provide proof of lies.  What's that, you can't?  I wonder why...

Yes, several people pointed it out when I posted it.


No.  Put on your big boy pants first and accept responsibility for your actions, then we'll talk.

I bring this up, though I know it's pointless:

Can someone point out where I continually said we would definitely ship in two weeks over and over?  I'd like to see evidence of this.  I know the "two weeks" mantra is the rallying cry, but once again, reality and the beliefs of the anti-BFL trolls are two entirely different things.  No sense in arguing about it, as it's immaterial, but I thought I'd just throw that fuel on to the fire... but yeah, another lie from Viceroy et al.  They are just parrots repeating what they heard, as personal research, truth and honesty are something they know very little about.

On another note, I love how anyone who is not critical of BFL is automatically me posting as a sock puppet.  It's totally awesome.  Much like poor Bryan Micon the scam artists "BFL has downvoting bots on reddit!" whine, do you idiots honestly think I care about your pathetic ramblings enough to spend more than a few minutes a day reading and responding to the blatant stupidity, willful ignorance and outright lies that you perpetrate on a daily basis?  The sheer volume of your stupidity would overwhelm ten of me, much less a single me, which is why I stopped caring about you idiots a long time ago.  I do enjoy watching your mindless ramblings, though.  It's a fair bit of entertainment... especially when you get the echo chamber of K9, PL, PG, Bick and Viceroy going in full swing and you are all just responding to each other over and over.  I think the best so far was just over a full page of you nutbags going at it without a single other person chiming in.  I'd love to get you all in the same room and see what happens, it would be like watching a bowl full of retarded kittens try to figure out what yarn is for.  Except the collective intelligence of the kittens would be about sixty points higher.

This is why you don't understand how bitcoin works and why your arguments are laughable.  Do you seriously believe you would be the only person receiving a unit?  Because that is the only scenario where this statement would be true, otherwise, it's just plain false.

Compared to the number of orders shipped, the number of complaints are virtually non-existent.  That's not to say we are not trying to improve our process, but at this point in time the "problems" to orders shipped is less than 1%, which is a pretty good ratio, but yes ideally we'd like to get that to 0%.  In general, people only take to the forums when there's a problem, not when they are happy.  There are some exceptions, but it's very rare.

If you have a problem with your order that you've received, contact us and we'll try to make it right.

All that time and effort and he has yet to produce any evidence of anything nefarious.  Even connecting (via complete fabrications) completely unrelated things together and he's still unable to actually produce any compelling proof for a single thing.  Yeah, good use of ones time there.  Occams razor here, which one is more likely:

1. BFL is so awesome at scamming that they are able to cover all possible tracks that, even when you are not constrained by reality, you can't uncover proof of wrongdoing.
2. BFL isn't actually doing anything wrong.

Which is more likely?   

Sometimes the pool can't determine who actually found the block, so it defaults to the last share submitted for that block.  Sometimes that method is not entirely accurate.

I'm selling a V1 radar detector with V1.8.A-POP2 with Euro Mode.  This is considered one of the best radar (if not the best) detectors on the market.  It comes with window mount and hard wire kit (for wiring directly into your car's electrical system, avoiding the obnoxious cigarette lighter coiled cord hanging all over the place). 

Works great, no problems with it at all. 

Looking for 3 BTC OBO shipped.

Only the times you decide to hit the "Post" button.

Right on cue, in come the trolls to wreck a good thread!  Lets see if we can get K9, PL and PG in here, as well!

Yes! Get the torches and pitchforks, for tomorrow we march on BFL! 

It's a stolen pic, since I'm the one that took it!   It's just been photoshopped quite a bit.

Yeah I had put about 40k NMC there a long time ago while it was wayyy down and I was upside down on the conversion from the pool to BTC hoping it would go up so at least I could break even.  When it started to go back up, I went to get it out of there and lo and behold the exchange conveniently crashed about that time.

I had already exchanged a bit, so there was some BTC sitting on there as well as NMC.  Ugh

Nope, I got nothing from him either.  I had a fair about of BTC and a ton of old NMC in Bitparking.  I sent him several messages and he finally stopped responding. 

Sounds like he's taken hundreds of thousands in NMC and who knows how much BTC and run.  That's not an insignificant amount of money at this point.

I took a bit of a closer look at this picture.  That unit is one of our development units with short boards inside... I thought that setup looked familiar.

It is a total scam.
