BFL power consumption / Charity Donation

[yxt]

As if BFL would donate ever!
They shitting even on their own customers

[Fiyasko]

Any new on the BFL charity donation? No BFL, I don't forget that you have promised to pay 1000 BTC to a charity.

Oh dont worry, I think maybe they might pay it perhapes possibly sometime roughly later around when btc value is low

Sure they will.... but with preorder funds

[mezzomix]

It is not my problem how they pay. Now the exchange rate is down, so they could pay this 1000 BTC. Or did they already receive the Scammer tag?

From BFL_Josh's update today:

"Things are mostly stabilized at this point and with our current boards (we do not have the redesigned boards in house yet), power usage exceeds the 1w/GH, unfortunately, but it's much better than anything out by 40 - 50%, at the wall."

I think he(Josh) previously indicated around 6w/Gh/s. Avalon is using around 9.39w/Gh/s. So Josh is saying BFL will be 40 - 50% lower, but it looks more like 36% better if their current numbers are at all believable...unlike their old numbers.

I want a damn product in my hands

[a1phanumrc]

With the recent focus on power consumption, we want to reiterate that we stand behind our customers and our products. We have designed our mining equipment to be the smallest, fastest, most aesthetically pleasing and most power efficient mining device available on the planet. We guarantee that in the form of 1000 BTC! When you buy a BFL product, you know you're getting the absolute best mining device available, period.

It would be nice to see Butterfly Labs update us on their promise. If they began delivery tomorrow I would refuse to place an order without some sort of acknowledgement of this promise.

BFL timeline for charity donation: Soon(TM)

[cmg5461]

This thread makes me giggle

[smoothie]

1. Now that they "delivered" they did not meet their power specs.

2. So the need to pay 1000 BTC to a charity and have it confirmed.

3. They will delay on this promise and wait until enough suckers buy more BFL products to fund BFL failures (i.e. this promise to donate).

I think they are awaiting pending liability investigations and trying to figure if they can survive before they touch this topic.  Oh, and they'll probably ship to 90% of the orders before they come out with rev. 5 of the chip in which 1w/gh is met and they try to slip out of the bet on a technicality.

Since Tom is refusing to actually make the bet he himself proposed between us, I am offering up a guarantee of 1000 BTC to charity (I will take suggestions on which charity to donate this to) if BFL does not meet it's power claims within 10% - meaning if BFL's power consumption is more than 66w for a Single SC, we lose the "bet."

Now, I ask if Tom is willing to step up and back the winning side.  He is 100% confident that we will not meet our power claims (which is the genesis of the failed bet), and as such I ask that he pony up 1000 BTC to the same charity if we do make our power claims.  

So there it is:  Tom is confident that we won't make our power claims, I am confident that we will.  I am willing to put up 1000 BTC to show my confidence in BFL products.  Is Tom confident enough to do the same or is he just blowing hot air?

Hey dipshit,

Now that you ass-hats have failed to deliver on your power specs and speeds, perhaps it is time to pay up the 1000 BTC to a charity and then prove you actually paid them? Oh wait...you have more important things to do like troll BTCtalk and cuss at your customers.

They play the iqnoring game now? Slippery business, I must say.

[mezzomix]

A scammer never pays! If Tom finishes his refunds he can pass the scammer tag to Josh and all the others from BFL.

Donation is in the last stage of payment....

Such a fucking crooked "business" they are total condesending jerks and there is little to nothing we can do about it!
Wheres the donation?
Seven months ago the ASIC's were in thier "Final stage of development"
They are still being fucking developed, and only a few, like 5 people have a rev.1 board!!!

Fire that asshole BFL_Josh!, He is horrible for PR!
