lmftfy: BFL NOT shipped 2013/3/31

[Frizz23]

[23:42] <a_meteorite> Luke-Jr: that's the Little SC I'm assuming
[23:42] <Luke-Jr> a_meteorite: it's a defective board because I was impatient.
[23:43] <a_meteorite> that would explain the HW errors
[23:44] <a_meteorite> did you go to BFL HQ or was it shipped? assuming you can reveal that..
[23:44] <a_meteorite> I think you did go there at one point but I didn't think you stayed/went back
[23:44] <a_meteorite> that was like... 2 weeks ago
[23:49] <jzk> At this point I'm not sure he can even reveal his own existence
[23:54] <Luke-Jr> a_meteorite: I've physically touched it, but I've left it at BFL for the time being.

You can't claim on one hand that an item was shipped, and the on the other hand claim you left it at BFL.

Luke-Jr: has posted pictures of his BFL ASICs.

same setup / hardware as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C4bgho5JSI

why luke lying?

[Frizz23]

why luke lying?

Like attracts like: Luke is a scumbag. BFL is ...

As I was on the hop to buy a early preorder after that thread I guess otheres were also. Probably it was the intention.

[BBQKorv]

Marketing trick to get more preorders so they would have a bigger chance to ship working products some day. Same old trick than the last 6 months.

...why luke lying?

Did Luke claim the item was in his personal possession in Australia?  Show it me if he did.

I do think it was a bit daft and short sighted of BFL (they may have been tired and didn't think the repercussions through properly) to use the word 'shipped' - especially given they know there's a dedicated bunch of folks who are looking for every tiniest excuse to dance and shout at every and any thing that looks like (or is) a failure on their delivery schedule.

However, I will admit to finding the predictable chorus of 'scammers', 'liars', 'thieves' etc. quite tiresome by now.  Ah well, should be over soon - or maybe not so soon

Give it 4-6 weeks.

The bankruptcy and the whining here afterward is going to be very entertaining.

Indeed it would (sadly potentially will) be entertaining.


However I really hope that they will have and ship a working product, even if it consumes more power and performs a little slower; Not because I have a pre-order (which I don't) but because competition is mandatory to bring the prices down.

I would like to get an Asic, but only when it drops between 500$ to 1200$ for 30 to 60 Ghash.
That can't happen if Avalon is the only player in the game.

pfft  that one is old, use 7 month instead

Reeks of last ditch ploy to stave off insolvency.
