I've made a fun game out of the absurd knocks against BFL by replacing any mention of BFL with any huge name company, and replacing any instance of ASIC with a high profile product that they make. For example:
OMG BFL IS A SCAM WHY WON'T THEY SHOW ME PICTURES OF THE ASIC AND THEY WON'T KEEP A RUNNING BLOG OF DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS AND I'M CALLING A LAWYER BECAUSE THEY TOOK PRE-ORDERS AND MISSED THEIR RELEASE DATE BY A FEW WEEKS!!!!!!
becomes
OMG APPLE IS A SCAM WHY WON'T THEY SHOW ME PICTURES OF THE IPHONE 6 AND THEY WON'T KEEP A RUNNING BLOG OF DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS AND I'M CALLING A LAWYER BECAUSE THEY TOOK PRE-ORDERS AND MISSED THEIR RELEASE DATE BY A FEW WEEKS!!!!!!
|
I'm just going to keep repeating "it's an Altera HardCopy" because I haven't the slightest clue what I'm talking about.

I think even more suitable: OMG MICROSOFT IS A SCAM WHY WON'T THEY SHOW ME PICTURES OF THE WINDOWS 8 AND THEY WON'T KEEP A RUNNING BLOG OF DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS AND I'M CALLING A LAWYER BECAUSE THEY TOOK PRE-ORDERS AND MISSED THEIR RELEASE DATE BY A FEW WEEKS!!!!!! Oh wait...

My only question about BFLabs is:
Why would they sell a ACSI equipment for $30,000 that can mine 1,000G/Hash (roughly 4,500 dollars in BTC per day) and you can recover the investment in about 8 days, when they can easily build it for themselves and mine the shit out of it and become millionaires by running 10-20 of those themselves? If I had the capacity to build such miners, would I build them and sell them at such a low price or would I just mine with them and make my business the mining business?
Just a thought...
You might have a point there - If they're being dishonest: they should put together a sc rig and mine with it while assembling other asic products - then the moment another company releases or starts selling asic products ---- they ship 100% of orders. Completely tank the competition and also (probably) earn out the investment of setting up the asics in the first place.

Wow, that added fuel to the fire like throwing water on a campfire adds fuel.

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

Its a scam, the CEO of BFL is a major scammer and has already been in jail for it too for mail order scam.
If you have already preordered - Don't count on getting your money back.

I thought he was charged with mail fraud because that's what they charged the people involved in the gambling sites? I don't think he actually defrauded someone by mail. Feel free to correct me.

It basically says "he paid his debt to society"... Just because someone had a conviction doesn't mean they can't change. Anyway - if you'd rather not take that risk, there are plent of others who will.

they are literally sitting on a gold mine, that IP is going to be very closely guarded
A hardware SHA256 processor isn't exactly rocket science... the fact that they give no updates really smells IMHO.
