Scammer  how?
He's trying to get people to cancel their orders so he can move up in the order book / cost BFL money for not delivering on time.

There you have me! This was my evil master plan.

This is how I made the Dot-com bubble burst back in 2001. I sold all of my 4 IBM shares.

Thought I can do it again ...

Why would anyone try to help a person of Josh's attitude?

I was asking myself the same question!

What is the motivation for bootlickers like SLok, BeeJay, Kjlimo or nbtcminer? The only logical explanation is: They are paid BFL shills.

Quote from: nbtcminer on BFL forums
I think the biggest problem here is that the voices against BFL (posting negative comments that usually are non-issues) are the cause of the Josh's irritation. The only negative poster who I can discern that has an active order with BFL is Frizz23 and he even with all of his griping / whining, he refuses to get a refund on his order or provide josh with his personal details in fear that his order will be cancelled.

So why gripe so much? I don't know, I'm not a mind reader. But what I can tell you is that it's stupid to public bash a company you expect to deliver a product you are banking on making you money. It's self defeating, not in any way constructive and BFL should seek a legal remedy if the statements of these individual causes some economic harm to the company. Even for those who are not customers; they should be looking for BFL to succeed because it can only mean good things for them and the rest of the Bitcoin mining community.

How can one write so much nonsense in only two paragraphs!?

"I think the biggest problem here is that the voices against BFL ... are the cause of the Josh's irritation."
Yes - Josh is known for being a friendly, polite and meek person.
Not.
You just have to read the forums to see what an arrogant douchebag he is.


"The only negative poster who I can discern that has an active order with BFL is Frizz23"
Yeah, right. It's only me. Everyone else that paid BFL thousands of dollars almost 9 month ago is happy with them. With BFL's constant shipment delays, their crappy information policy and their blatant lies.
Nooooooooo one else is ranting.
Question: Do you suffer from a loss of reality?


"So why gripe so much? I don't know, I'm not a mind reader."
no comment. this stupidity speaks for itself  Grin


"BFL should seek a legal remedy if the statements of these individual causes some economic harm to the company"
BFL promised to deliver me an ASIC miners in October 2012 with 40GH/s for $1,299.
I paid BFL $1,299 in August 2012.
Mid of March 2013 and I still don't have my ASIC miner.
So who should seek a legal remedy?


"...they should be looking for BFL to succeed because it can only mean good things for them and the rest of the Bitcoin mining community"
Yes, we all should bow down and hail BFL and Josh/Inaba.


Seriously dude, how much does BFL pay you?
824  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: [POLL] Should Butterfly Labs (BFL) get a Scammer tag? on: March 21, 2013, 02:57:34 AM
... The tag could obviously come off if they ever ship a product, but until then i think it's our duty to protect fellow forum-goers from falling into their trap, especially since there are ads plastered everywhere saying "Order now!" instead of "pre-order now" ...

Totally agree.



825  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Them BFL Cowboys on: March 21, 2013, 02:55:22 AM
The lack of progress updates from BFL is a little concerning.  They've had three full working days to test their chips since the last update. 

Three weeks is not too bad for testing and tweaking. It's just: You usually do this before you go into mass production. And before you advertise your product as "available".

And seriously, the order management system still isn't up and running properly - what the hell does Jody get paid for?

I don't get that either! Just imagine BFL would have shipped back in October 2012 as they initially promised. Can you imagine the chaos?

People that ordered Jalapenos getting Mini Rigs - and vice versa. Their order system is a mess. I just checked today - my order is still not correct.

I still remember one of Jody's updates where she said BFL might skip Christmas holidays because they will be busy assembling our miners. Playing on people's pity. Funny. Not!

As it turned out all bullshit.

Besides playing Minecraft and trolling their own forums: What does BFL staff actually do all day? One could expect that at least their infrastructure would be set up and running by now. Yet nothing has happened.

Butt full of FLies: Incompetence. Inability. Dishonesty.

Nice... yeah, Josh does seem kind of a dick...  Guess I'll be waiting for batch 3....

It's quite simple: A shady company like BFL needs a shady COO like Josh/Inaba.

Lying and insulting others is OK for BFL/Josh - as long as it generates sales.

Go over the the 'BFL Fucks us Again' thread and read Josh's rant.

That should tell you all you need to know about the professionalism of BFL

It seems Inaba (= Josh, the official BFL representative) deleted his posting. But it lives on in peoples quotes Wink

Like in this post:


Quote from: BFL_Josh;17901
I love the armchair engineers that make strong technical pronouncements on the basis of fuzzy/blurry, pixelated images of an object that measures 11mm x 11mm taken with a camera phone.  Especially pronouncements made by engineers that can't tell a reflection from a piece of underfill or who define jpeg artifacting as chipped cores. Or ones who can't tell triangles from squares or circles!


Oh Burn!  You really got me there Josh!  I'm totally stung by you.

By the way, my armchair for 15 years has looked over a Ph.D. in Engineering, and that chair is situated at Intel's packaging and assembly development division.  I've worked a senior engineer on every aspect of those activities for 856 to 1274 today.

To explain what that means in terms you are bright enough to understand:
  • I know about semiconductor manufacturing 100x what you do about making up imaginary schedules
  • I know about semiconductor manufacturing nearly 10x what you know about being a douchebag on the internet

Wow, you must really be a good cock sucker then.  Any engineer that can't tell a reflection from underfill or underfill from epoxy isn't worth much more than a buck fifty blow job.  Congrats on your abilities.  I would say you are quite possibly the crappiest "engineer" on the planet, given those facts.  Did that PhD come out of a crack jack box?

Next time you're under that table, keeping your job, watch the teeth.



Stay classy Josh.

This is how BFL/Josh talks to customers and prospective clients.
836  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL worth it now? on: March 11, 2013, 08:33:35 AM
A SC Single is $1330USD. At the current MtGox weighted average of $46.9USD/BTC, that's 28.36BTC. You think it'll take 2 straight years to mine 28BTC? You're talking about a difficulty of over 400 million for it to take that long.

Crazyates and SLok are so far up BFLs arses - they don't even remember when they last saw daylight!

Read the subject of this thread: "BFL worth it now?".

New customers will be at the very end of the BTC food chain.

* BFL will have delivered all their 75.000 chips (or more).
* Avalon has shipped it's 1st, 2nd, 3rd ... batch by then.
* New players - known, like Helveticoin, and unknowns - might have entered the market even before BFL latecomers received their miners.

It is highly dubious to lure customers to order from BFL now.
837  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL worth it now? on: March 10, 2013, 10:45:38 AM
... Me personally, I'm looking for a 6-8 month ROI, which I consider to be quite standard in the past, ...

I agree with you on this one. According to a poll on BFL's website 90% are willing to wait 6-12 month to make ROI*)

But back to the OP:
If I chose to put an order down on a 60gh unit do you think I would get it too late to make any profits? Im tempted to buy one but I think I may be too far back in the queue.

He will not make ROI in 6 month. Nor in 12 month. Maybe in 24 month. But that's very risky, because his unit has to work 24/7 for two years. Image he lives outside the US and has an RMA in those two years (-> send unit back to US, wait, get it repaired, wait, get it shipped again, wait, troubles with custom). Not to mention the warranty that might have expired by then.

So for the TS it is very risky to order now.



------------
*) ROI is wrong in this context, I know. Should be "break even". But since most users use ROI I'll use it too.
838  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 253 BTC Bet that Butterfly Labs will Not Deliver an ASIC Prior to March 1st on: March 10, 2013, 10:16:43 AM
http://www.thebitcointrader.com/2013/01/253-btc-3577-usd-bet-that-butterfly.html

I wonder if this bettor has inside information.  That's a lot of money to put on the line without some sort of information to back it up.

Yes: 0.88
No: 253.69

Come on, Josh/Inaba - put your money where your mouth is! If you are so convinced that you ship in February it will be easy money for you.

Dear Josh, thank you for your Bitcoins. They are very much appreciated Grin Grin Grin

I'd like to configure bitcoind to print out a "reasonable" amount of logging information. E.g. when the miner does a getwork, or when the minder finds a block.

Do you have some suggestions?

he is wanting 3000E for a triple FPGA?!? I can't see where he quotes what hash rate it gets or power consumption

"kann man bei der richtigen Portierung von nicht ganz einer Milliarde Hashes/Sekunde ausgehen"
-> " ... almost 1.000.000.000 Hashes/second ..." (-> 1 Gh/s)

OK this one is funny:
"Oder Sie wollten sich den DES oder einen anderen Code vorknöpfen? Oder mit Bitcoins reich werden? ..."
-> "Or you wanted to take DES or some other code to task? Or get rich with Bitcoins? ..."

Yeah right, with 1Gh/s ...
