I hope that someone starts a class action lawsuit for the destruction of legitimate copyrighted intellectual property hosted by megaupload. I can't access my personal non-terrorist and non-kiddie porn business records and am suffering thousands of dollars a day in damages as a result.  FTFY Maybe a DCMA filing against the Feds for interfering with your legitimate business? I'll do it. I am pretty sure I put some pictures of my dog on there. Where do I start? |

I'll report my findings when my bitforce single arrives. I have ordered one and can detail my experience.

Gigavps, you seem to be one of the first people who have placed an order. So you should be one of the first to receive their unit, being in the first production run. Having been in recent contact with BFL yourself, can you tell us when you expect your first unit to arrive? If you still don't have a firm date/window for your unit, it would be informative to know that as well. End of the month for the first batch is the approximate timing I was given. Second batch soon to follow. Very good, thank you. I'll assume that BFL isn't in a position to specify an exact date yet; by the end of next week they may be. 12 days out and they still can't give a real number? |

Have you guys ever thought about heading over the office? Maybe they'll be courteous and give a small tour.

Yeah...you didn't read this thread at all... I hope I own 200 singles and a couple rig boxes before you guys are done.
I hope you end up owning something too, for that sizable interest free loan you handed out. All your comments lead me to believe that you don't understand the concept of a long con. Did you have a bunch of money in MyBitcoin, too? |

Also try just running 2 cards to see if you have the same problem. I would assume you have a 1000W P/S you are powering these cards with. I dont think that would be a problem though as likely the power supply would blow up if it were overloaded.
My 3x6970 rig drew right about 800w at the wall doing 1.2gh/s. |

It is a great idea. You are selling a (somewhat) tangible good, and it seems like that would get eBay and paypal on your side for disputes.
How is it somewhat tangible? It is a code delivered by email. Ebay I never got anything I wish to dispute the auction by this scammer. I am not a tech guy, but isn't there some sort of delivery confirmation that you can use on email? An email beats the hell out of trying to convince eBay to look at blockexplorer... As a legitimate form of communication, I consider it somewhat tangible. It was just an opinion. Who knows what ebay and paypal would do... |

Maybe not 1000, but how about fifty...or even one for that matter... You completely missed the point. Why aren't they reinvesting their profit in the business in order to deliver for their customers? I don't know what they are doing as far as that goes, but I do not see any evidence that is not happening. How fast, exactly, can you design an FPGA solution to the specific problem of Bitcoin and deliver it in a nice form factor, from scratch? I stated several months ago that I could (with no working knowledge of FPGAs) probably get a couple demos thrown together for $10k. I stand by that. |

Yea, I was about to buy one.  still got megavideo accounts? I need some for friends! |

Let's get the facts straight:
-I've been a member of these forums for 8 months (since June). Doesn't mean shit.
-I've successfully purchased from two different members Doesn't mean shit.
-I've successfully sold to two different members. Doesn't mean shit.
-I have over 400 positive feedback on eBay with a 100% rating. Doesn't mean shit.
-I am currently selling over $2500+ worth of merchandise Doesn't mean shit.
and you're saying I'm untrustworthy on a $150 video card?
That's perfectly okay if you think so, but try not to waste other people's time if you say you are going to buy something from them and not go through with it while they're expecting your payment.
I am not taking sides as you both seem like you are jacking off with a belt around your neck. |

Thanks for your "hint of caution"!
Yes, I'm aware that real-world transactions can be difficult to handle due to non-standard interfaces. But that's not my competitive edge. I'm good at outdoing your 10% codebase.
Bam. I am eager to see how this progresses. Down with gox! |

The trade wiki does not think too highly of them either...

BFL made an FPGA and it shipped. Rimshot, please.

You shouldn't still be using the same email address as you did before MtGox was hacked.
What? I think you mean password... |

What happened? This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.

It's more a relic of a failed marketing strategy. They pissed everyone off with the promotion, but didn't strike it from the books. When I opened a tradehill account, I just tracked down someone whom I liked (can't remember who...either a mod or a developer) and used theirs.

You guys remember like, three months ago when this was all going to be settled in a matter of days... To take a page from Atlas' book: heh... Why is the lead on devices ordered today the same as when they hadn't even been designed or built? Because it takes time to get components sent from over seas and assembled. Perhaps you're not familiar with the concept of NON mass produced items. I just had two completely custom pumps designed and fabricated (at a cost of roughly $2000 each) by Tunze and shipped to me from their factory in Germany, which incidentally takes a 31 day holiday over Christmas and New Years. These are the only two of these pumps in existence, and despite ordering them in November, I received them within a week of the factory reopening. While it isn't computer components, it should serve as a reminder that companies with good customer service and high ticket items hustle to deliver. Why isn't the money they have collected enough to put stock on their shelves, so to speak? Generally, profit taking doesn't begin in a business until the business becomes profitable. So why aren't their margins on the 'singles' already preordered put back into procuring more units, thus reducing lead time? So why would you put stock on shelves if you don't know what actual demand is going to be? That would be incredibly stupid from a business standpoint. I would keep barely enough stock to ship a couple units and order the rest as required until I were comfortable with what demand is for the long term. It would be ignorant in the extreme to order 1000 units and then have 700 of them sitting around gathering dust. Maybe not 1000, but how about fifty...or even one for that matter... You completely missed the point. Why aren't they reinvesting their profit in the business in order to deliver for their customers? If the money isn't enough, why haven't they sought capital elsewhere? VC funds fly around all day, for far stupider plans than this. The fact that they still don't have machines leads me to believe they haven't successfully sought it out. Why? Why not? Why be indebted to someone else? Be indebted to one party versus being indebted to every single person who orders a unit? It's bad business; they are trying to milk an interest free loan that people apparently are foolish enough to provide for them. Yes, the aforementioned questions that remain unanswered lead me to believe it is unreasonable to still have a 4-6 week (that could turn to 4 months without explanation, apparently) lead time. You are telling me that they are building these as orders come in? Not in batches? Seriously? I don't know what they are doing... but from my considerable experience, I've already outlines what I would be doing were I in their shoes. So they are ordering these from an assembly house one at a time, or they are grouping them into lots. If they are accumulating a number of orders to hit some sorts of price break, than their delivery dates are nothing more than wild speculation, since as you elaborated above, they have no real way to gauge interest and order rates. Why do people want to believe so friggin' hard? I assume, Inaba, that you are in some sort of tech field. Do you routinely deliver on your clientele's jobs almost half a year late? It is bad business, plain and simple, regardless of however you and their fan club choose to defend them. |

While I have him on ignore, I can still unfortunately see his crap in everyone's quotes. Please just stop responding to him and I'm sure he'll slink off to annoy something else when he stops getting attention.
You can't control it, you just read what's in front of you whether you want to or not? Go fuck yourself Simon. If you want to go back 120 pages or so, I was on there saying I would give the benefit of the doubt to BFL. That was before a four month delay and a series of lies and deceptions. |
