How about equity in BFL? If they built everything using our money we are akin to shareholders anyways. Just a wild thought.

Is the charity donation already paid or will the BFL accounts here get the scammer tag?

I dunno, 100k USD (or 1000 BTC) is pretty hefty. I bet now he will have to convert USD to BTC (right?)

I assume the charity donation will not be paid!
Josh will avoid this topic like a hot potato or he will use his typical weasel words. Well, I expect a proof that the donation is paid or a scammer tag.

If only they had some way to generate the coins for the donation...

I vote Khan Academy for the donation. That will most likely get Salman Khan to make a video about bitcoins.
|
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

If there isn't a cancelled check from Josh to a suitable, independent and registered charity within 48 hours hasn't he finally earned himself the scammer tag?
It's obvious they have known for a couple weeks they wouldn't hit their performance spec.
So Josh, where's the proof you kept your promise?
BTW, has everyone noticed what a pretty shade of yellow highlighting Josh has these days?
How long do we have to wait for for the scammer tag on Josh? I haven't heard of any 1000BTC donation so far. |

Missing their power target means the minirig won't run on a standard house plug, which has a 15 amp breaker.
It also means the Jalapeño won't run on 2 USB 2.0 ports, as was planned. I guess it might stand a better chance of keeping keeping your coffee warm though, so hey, it's not all bad, right? |

You sir, are one astute observer. I had exactly the same thought. Unless they give the Jalapeno's the best chips, there is no real way to ship that particular product and use one USB port. |

Unless they ship 2 of them for every 1 you ordered. So the power consumption is low enough to support USB, but then it'll require 2 times as many USB ports. On the bright side, you can put one below and one on top of your drink to keep it nice and warm! If they get any worse with ye power, you may have enough to completely box in your coffee! |

They will probably donate at the USD rate when the charity claim was announced.

That would be the complete scumbag thing to do, and worthy of a scammer tag. |

equity in a failed company is worthless btw. EDIT : Actually could be less than worthless, they may have more debt than assets at this point. |

What a car crash of a situation this is.
Obviously if they don't ship anything it doesn't really matter, but if they ship something shortly this will be terrible PR. What I want to know is their projected GP when the power consumption was on track because I can't think of many businesses that wouldn't instantly go bust if they had to send 2 units for every 1 ordered, especially when the pre-order book is huge.
That said, if they manage to stay afloat and do ship, it would be pretty disgusting not to honour this pledge.
