Hey everyone please check the url when visiting bfl as the website www.butterflyiabs. com is almost an identical copy,  further it shows them having 28 nm tech available.

Wow, that's just a new level of lame. What's that, a simple scam-version of a more sophisticated scam (which Butterfly itself ultimately is)?

We know butterflylabs, but this site we are talking about is scam of the real one. In fact it links back and fourth between itself and
the real one so people think they are on the site they normally visit.

Ya, I wish there was a dispute process to make BTC transactions saver.

some type of oversight wouldn't be to bad.

The website owner info is protected by http://www.whoisguard.com/, send there support an email advising the people they are protecting are scamming people and that will give them a bad name.
Maybe they will be willing to name them.

I'm street smart I don't fall for scams and been programming since the 1980's so I don't fall for the old domain switch/misspelt. But I do feel BTC should have a dispute and oversight for protection. I personally feel no crypto will NEVER go mainstream without sometype of protect for people like good old cash has...

IMO no crypto will be complete main stream until it affords the same protections as mainstream currency
