Just something I wanted to point because I thought it was interesting.


I see many posts on here that seem to discuss ASIC in regards to there affect on mining.   When I look at who is posting them and the subject matter, they seem to be a bunch of new members and at some point in their post history, they support BFL and dismiss or question other companies competing products.

For some reason it seems interesting that they all seem to come here to talk good about BFL's products, that is the common thread.  One that was funny is the "person" who in the introduction is "Hi I am a ASIC engineer from China".  Who are these people? 


Posts to look at:

We're all sockpuppets.  BFL pays well.

Personally, I learned about BTC a year ago and started mining with a small $200 purchase of GPUs.  I mostly read posts and seldom posted.  Then I just got busy and stopped following it for a while (I even switched from pool mining to solo mining so I wouldn't have to deal with pools shutting down or needing miner upgrades).  I forgot about it until one day when I needed to reboot a computer and saw I had found a block solo mining.  I decided to look into BTC again, and saw that ASICs were being developed.

So I looked into it a bit, pre-ordered one, and have mostly been reading posts and seldom posting.

I'm surprised that it took you this long to figure it out. It should have been pretty obvious. Every single person on this board, except for you and a few other people, is part of the conspiracy. We call ourselves the "Brotherhood". Our goal was to take all of your money. Those bitcoin things? They were invented just to suck you in so that you would give us all your money.

I'm telling you this now because the conspiracy has been exposed, and there is no way we are going to get any more money from you. We (the "Brotherhood") are going to return to our normal lives now. Go ahead and send me all your BTC. It's just a big hoax anyway.

Not sure how I'm confirming, I don't support BFL, or any other ASIC mfr for that matter.

I don't buy into a product being legitimate until there is a prototype, or legitimate signs of a real product undergoing production.  

It's all vaporware to me (hardware or software) until that point.


Maybe you're just not familiar with Duke Nukem Forever? 

Intended to be groundbreaking, Duke Nukem Forever became a notable example of vaporware due to its severely protracted development schedule; the game was released in 2011 after fifteen years of development. The game was a financial success but received middling to negative critical reception.

It is pretty obvious that the four people accused of being BFL trolls _all_ have the same habbit of using new lines between their paragraphs.
What a coincidence in the love of special text layouts.

I laugh at your poor propaganda skills while I am rolling on the floor.

I was thinking Destruct and wdBTCtrader could perhaps, maybe, conceivably be sockpuppets...

@creativex seem you can't read the third post..

and no you can't sue. When you pre-ordered at no point did they say "on December 2nd you will have you device in your hand" get your head of your ass. Games, cars, movies, cell phones... god damn everything gets delayed for various reasons. So stop being a worthless piece of shit to humanity and get your refund if you're unhappy other GFTO


Have a look at that underlined sentence there. Reminds you of someone else does it not?
Could be a copy cat fanboy of that certain someone, but... really? This, after 17 posts?  Roll Eyes


So tired of the BS.... Like dealing with kids.   In fact I'm convinced that a great number of the people in this community are either high school students trying to score on SR or college students who still know everything.  


Their post histories are quite entertaining:

destruct: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=74125
wdBTCtrader: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=63316

They're angry at "trolls". They hate creativex. And... whaddayaknow, they both fit that peculiar double breakline pattern. Strange coincidence indeed.

I don't recall that certain someone using such sloppy grammar. The lack of capitalization and punctuation, never mind the total lack of a sentence structure, is very uncharacteristic.

no, not a sock puppet... take a look at the BFL forums I've given them hell as well.  If I see BS I'm going to call you on it, plain and simple.  I don't hate anyone and they shouldn't take any of this personally.

This was in response to those changing their posts. Not editing them, but actually changing content and meaning.
