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.

PPhahahahhahaah - AHAHAHAhttp://codinginmysleep.com/first-look-at-bfls-asic-hardware/So the 25th of September, and all they can show is a rough 3D Cad Image of their produt.... My friends I have lost all hopes that BFL will deliver before 2013.  Actually they are showing it thru a 3rd party (which is actually them pretending to be a 3rd party)

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. |
