I'm thinking the temporary marriage between BitPay and BFL to split the $13K booth rate was arranged last summer or so. Surely not in November or December, for the booth needed to be locked in and artwork for the display had to get underway.
Regardless of whatever sentiment may have arisen after that, it's good business etiquette to honor and maintain the marriage unless, of course, one of the parties is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a nefarious entity (of which the underlined clause isn't the case), then you annul the contract. Otherwise, move forward, as they both did, and hope for a great show, and build further mind share for Bitcoin--as they both did.
Full disclosure: This post was written on my Toshiba Satellite A135-S7404 while sitting on the porcelain throne that may, or may not, need a good cleaning with equal portions of bleach and ammonia. (apologies to Bryan)
1) As long as bitpay distances themselves starting now I don't see how the community would find fault. I have said this over and over and I'm saying it again because the other bullshit is on repeat around here, so the good needs to be said multiple times too: Bitpay is doing damn fine work for the bitcoin community. They allow small businesses to instantly and easily accept bitcoin. They are actively spreading the bitcoin gospel and taking a very fair 0.99% along the way and I hope they make a killing and I will do anything personally to support them.2) lolz. And clean your turlet!

Yeah, they perfectly spread bitcoin gospel staying beside BFL on CES and being their payment processor. Bitpay will bury all their gospel affords (and Bitcoin reputation itself) when shitstorm around BFL start with federal comissions investigations. Their potentional clients reading this topic. This is what happened when people don't know what they do and don't figure futher impact of their doings. When they stupid enough to do not watch their steps. This is the perfect way to burn all investments.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the anti-semetic joke he tried to tell me about at the end. I can't wait to see if he posts that part... Fortunately I do have video of that portion with clear audio. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Has this been posted yet? It'd be nice to see the other side of this coin.

although BFL's PR has been completely shoddy.
i truly believe that micon is now just repeating himself posting the same video link multiple times which has now meandered into a never ending argument with no set goal to be achieved.
the simple point is BFL have many many failings. BFLJosh/inaba, a coder should not have been employed as a PR guy and BFL itself, should have worked out months ago how many chips they would receive in the first batch. and closed pre-orders once that quota of orders was reached. only to re open the pre-order payment page once they get a quota for their second batch.
and not to be spending money on google sponsored adverts or promising people equipment if they advertise the products, yet to be built, or estimated to be built by X date.
basically if they were promised 10k of chips in first batch they would have priced the cost of this. and set their pre-order pricing accordingly dependant on how many chips are required per product. all R&D is inclusive in the pre-order price.
thus no requirement to continually request funds because the cost of the pre-order pays for that chip amount, end product build and labour costs. if they are proposing to make 1000* units in the first batch then they only need to accept 1000* pre-orders. before cutting off the payment page, locking in those people into batch 1. (*numbers are not factual, just illustrative examples)
i advise them to close off their pre-order payment page until they have clear deadlines, clear production yields and clear costing prices for batch 2. and set the limits of available pre-orders. then closing off that months pre-order payment page once the limit is reached. to lock in customers to those deadlines.

I wonder when Bitcoin-facing businesses, BFL included, will realize that conferences, trade shows, and such are an opportunity to introduce Bitcoin to the uninitiated, instead of wasting time preaching to the choir or staging incestoid incidents related to issues only bitcoiners understand. Specifically, BFL should have made their working FPGA the centerpiece, instead of the highly controversial, and in fact sensitive, topic of ASICs. Non-bitcoiners really don't give a damn, and we all just look stupid in front of them. Bitcoin looks stupid. Inaba and Micon are actually on the same team - the team that has been doing damage, no matter what their intentions are. I hope they realize this, and finally focus properly when it comes to public events. Public events - this forum included.

I understand why your angry. I also understand the need for forums. I don't agree with your post. I want to know when someone could possibly be a scammer. When a thread is stupid I don't read it. I also believe your post has as much right to be here as their posts. Thats what freedom of speech is imo Who's team are you on? and who's team you think I'm on? Lines are not so defined now, Right?
