Butterfly Labs Rep at CES Showcase "ASICs"

[smoothie]

Here is a video of Butterfly Lab's PR/Spokesperson showing his true colors and refusing to talk about the case on display at the CES convention in LV. Supposedly this device only has fans and a nexus device inside of it.

With $25 million in preorder funds, this is all they were able to come up with. This is related to the service of butterfly labs because it shows where they are at in their providing customers that have sent preorder funds to them for a device that is now 70 days late on delivery (at least) with no proof or accountability of what was done with the preorder funds.

seems like a typical BFL. Cant wait to see everyone get scammed by them

[AmDD]

Ha! What a douche!

[Fiyasko]

What a fucking asshole, I wonder how many people are going try to pull orders when they see that "BFL_Josh" blatently tells someone to "get a fucking clue" when the man walks up and asks him "What is this box, I am having trouble understanding what it is"

[Third Way]

Did Josh know this guy from before? Because I think the vid is made to make Josh out to look like an asshole, why would he be so belligerent from the start?

The guy is Micon.

If you guys want some background on this... Micon came by our booth yesterday and started stomping around (literally, like a little kid throwing a tantrum) and screaming foul language at one of my employees "IS THAT JUST A FUCKING BOX OF FANS?! ARE YOU EVER GOING TO FUCKING SHIP ASICS?  ITS JUST A BOX OF FUCKING FANS!" over and over.  Needless to say, we did not want a repeat of his behavior today.

The lovely anti-semite "joke" he tried to tell me at the end of our encounter was also classy.  I don't know if he thought I was Jewish or what?

If this is true then I would say it was called for and I retract my previous statement.

Someone else should go there and do the same thing just to get an explanation about what that box is. Also they should ask them about the status of the ASIC chips. Perhaps where did all of the $25 million pre-order money go.

I'm a bit mad because last summer before the BFL announcement I was planning to build a 200+ GPU mining farm. (I had access to very cheap electricity and financing) I've put my project on hold and now it look like at best their company is completely unprofessional or at worst another huge scam. Even if I did not pre-order any ASIC they probably costed me some potential profit.

/end rant

It sucks for those who pre-ordered, I wish they will receive their ASIC somehow.

[crazyates]

Bwahaha! Josh was a bit on the aggressive side, but that Micon dude is a fuckin 'tard. He's seriously off his rocker. Does he think he's actually fooling anyone?

I also love how he interviews BitPay, but spends so much time talking and talking and talking he never actually lets them fully answer a question.

[Third Way]

Who's Micon, why does everyone know this guy? I've never heard of him.

Thanks

This video is like a 3rd take of a mobilized stalker dunk-tank clown trying to get a reaction.  Josh's reaction was effective.

Not necessary.

BFL posted a video on their website that answers your question:

David Perry: "So this is just a case ... you don't actually have ASICs ready?
Josh: "Um... right ... but we are eagerly awaiting them as everybody else I'm sure ..."

[DiCE1904]

Wow. what a fuckn dick. getting rid of my pre-order today.

Yeah, but that's their answer to ANYTHING.

BFL announces new delay? Buy another Single SC.
Obama got voted? Buy another Single SC.
Aliens attack? Buy another Single SC.
