This is using two Butterfly labs rigs and nothing was changed. It just out of no where started producing stale and hasn't stopped.

Did you try restarting the mining client? Or powercycling the BFL rigs? Or rebooting the host computer?


Tried all of them. Even left everything down and off for 2 hours, before rebooting

Bitminter was running for me for over a month and over the last 24 hours all it produces is stale work at 90Ghps... any thoughts?

Is this on a graphics card? Did you change the driver?

Obvious scam is obvious. Don't preorder these.

May I see your evidence of a scam? Hopefully you're not actually trying to claim that concept art is a scam. I think what you meant to say was, "This might be a scam". Because if something is obviously a scam, than you would have some evidence to back up your claims.

Interestingly enough, these links that were posted that some of you are believing to be credible are claiming ButterflyLabs is legit as so many people on here are misusing the word "scam" toward them as well.

First, I didn't call TESLA a scam. How about you stop taking what I say out of context.

"Now, if we wake up one day and the site is gone and they're no longer updating us with information(which they're on their forum). Than we have something to look into. But, at this point, with what people are trying to use to determine a scam, well you may as well call TESLA motors is a scam as well since they're a new company and have only released one shipment of their electric sports car and have the possibility of taking off with all of the pre-order money."

What's garbage is people using words that they don't comprehend. And I will use anything I feel as an example. I know a lot of people don't understand the word "scam",  I hope this isn't the same with the word "comparison" or "example".There are literally hundreds of companies who will not let anyone in their facilities. Just because you purchase something from a company doesn't give you a right to see their facility, nor does it make you an investor. I VERY EASILY, found these  http://imageshack.us/g/1/10104380/ and these http://www.kano-kun.net/?p=6. But, regardless, there's just no pleasing some people. And it's very obvious most people aren't even believing their own BS, otherwise they would have canceled their order and received a refund by now. A lot of people here are all talk and no action. And yes, you can get a refund. This was taken from their F.A.Q. 

Can I get a refund on my pre-order?
A All sales are final unless we fail to perform. That means if we do not ship any machine at all. If you would really like a refund anyway, just ask and we'll probably be able to take care of you. Nonetheless, we reserve the right to handle it on a case by case basis.

The only "idiocy" comes from people who have a third grade comprehension and can't comprehend definition of words or be able to understand a comparison.

Would you be willing to show your proof that shows this is a scam?

 How many legitimate companies that you know of, allow their COO to make one broken promise after another, while earning the scorn of an entire community due to his outrageous behavior and taunting ?

 How many legitimate companies that you know of make bets of 1,000 BTC to charity and then don't honor it in a timely manner ?

 How many legitimate tech companies that you know of are run by a former convicted felon, who's past behavior with mail fraud raises questions about certain aspects of Butterfly Labs' business and customer service practices ?

 How many legitimate "leading edge" tech companies that you know of farm out the design of their chips to third parties, rather than creating the design themselves in-house ?

 How many legitimate "leading edge" tech companies blow their power estimates by almost a factor of 5. At least.

 How many legitimate tech companies that you know of have ever displayed such outright contempt and disrespect for their customers ?

 To be clear, it's not accurate to call them a scam, but they sure have acted like a bunch of bumbling amateurs over the last year.

There are a few actually. 80% of companies fall behind of a scheduled release date. Not one thing that you bring up justifies a scam. I will agree with you that from what I have read, they should handle them selves better in their responses or don't respond at all. People talk crap about every company that doesn't mean they should go and argue with their customers. Also, if a customer is that un-happy with the company than they should cancel their orders and not give them any of their money again.
But, coming onto a forum and misusing terminology doesn't hurt the company at all, it makes the person look like an imbecile for misusing terms. And I guarantee you at least 70% of the people talking crap about Butterfly labs are people who didn't read the print(which wasn't even in a small font) that said this was a pre-order and maybe should have realized when a product is made for the first time, it's very likely they will run into some difficulties causing delays.
Yes, they may have taken pre-orders a little too early. But, I have pre-ordered a product before 3 months before a release date was even announced, which then took a little over one year from the announcement.  If people do not like that than they should wait until it's no longer a pre-order.
And I am not being biased as I pre-ordered from Butterfly Labs almost one year ago. I also didn't pay using bitcoins, I paid using a CC that has a protection service on it regardless of how long the process may take. So, yes, I had my doubts as well. But, in no way are they a scam(i know you agreed with this part), not one person has proven a scam. They have all proven a new company running into problems on their first launch.

Now, if we wake up one day and the site is gone and they're no longer updating us with information(which they're on their forum). Than we have something to look into. But, at this point, with what people are trying to use to determine a scam, well you may as well call TESLA motors is a scam as well since they're a new company and have only released one shipment of their electric sports car and have the possibility of taking off with all of the pre-order money.

Its obvious this is a huge scam. Huge hashing spike at their location too? weird...

Would you be willing to show your proof that shows this is a scam?
13  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Butterflylabs Huge SCAM on: May 25, 2013, 03:20:02 AM
Apparently most people on this forum don't know the difference between opinion and fact. There are 0 facts and/or evidence to support a scam with this company or most of the companies people call scams on this forum. Without proof, it's not a fact or a statement. It's simply your opinion on the company and hearsay is not evidence to prove a scam.

This is the worst pitch for an investment I have ever heard. It's highly entertaining though.

In America it's innocent until proven guilty. If they're a scam then you should have no problem proving it.

I agree with this, but sometimes it is hard to prove as well.

Wasn't that hard for the prosecutor to prove Sonny V. was a felon.  Perhaps he was innocent at one point, but now he's a convicted felon.

Can you show me a government website that shows this information? Also, just because someone does something wrong, doesn't mean they will continue doing it. The top burglars in the world have created the best security systems. Hell even Kevin Mitnick went on to design some of the best security features that are even in use on bank checks today.

Sonny has gone on a plea bargain so the prosecutor didnt have to prove shit. He didnt even get a trial, since he cut a deal and simply went to jail.



Being in jail would still put him on over 30 websites and show his arrest record. So, show hard evidence. Not just he said, she said and hearsay.

I am curious who this person thinks will invest in him when he's yelling and swearing at people. You know, the people he wants to give him money.

Thats where I disconnect, what features? IE? I avoid that like a plague and only ever open it to cross check browser compatibility on my sites. If I really need to Google something (yeah Bing lost in the Bing v. Google test) while Im watching TV, I have a laptop, PC, Droid, and probably even a tablet soon. Blu-Ray, got one of those in the computer too. I just dont see ANY added benefit to the console.

Blu-ray is dead to me(mine just sits most of the time). I stream all of my movies and have them all in HDX(tru 1080p streaming) all stored and can be watched throughout the household or anywhere there's an internet connection. Even though I have cable service, it doesn't make sense to me when you have HULU plus, and just about every network has an app that shows their shows, sometimes at the exact start time on tv. But, all of this can be accomplished with AppleTV or App driven device. I enjoy having a stand alone video game system, especially with kinect and xbox live. I don't like to ware devices down, so I separate my computers from gaming.

Forget the look. The features are awesome. I do however feel they're taking the Video Game Console into a different direction than where I would go with it. I don't like the whole TV guide feature as I am not going to run and wear out my console anymore than I have to.

It's 100% voice and motion controlled. You can also skype with friends while watching movies, tv shows, etc. And leave comments about games, shows, movies and music for your friends to read as well. The only thing I like about the TV guide is that you don't have to flip through it, you can just say, "Community" and it will automatically put that show on for you. There are also a lot more features that they showed on their live event can be seen here.
