If this isn't trolling, then they admit they were defeated... This better be trolling for their own sake Grin

Each project is unique, well funded and has a real world application. It's a deeply rewarding environment.

Yeah in a world where it is actually acceptable to get paid for your products prior to even having them conceptualized would be really rewarding! I wish my company could get that kind of faith from my customers.

Why work for Butterfly Labs?

There's nothing more rewarding than working on interesting projects, with the exception of showcasing your pride and joy at CES. Here at Butterfly Labs, we bring our experience almost to market for specialty applications in Industry, Education and Government, recently attempted to satisfy Bitcoin miners. Each project is unique, well funded (very well-funded now) and has a real and virtual world application. It's a deeply rewarding environment, and boy do we pile it on deep.

Please considering joining us, and don't bother bringing a feather--we have the whole damn chicken here outside beautiful Kansas City.

Well bless your heart, Pa. Now maybe you can keep the promise you gave at her death bed.
Ma, get me my...
Here it is, Pa.
Don't wait up for me.
Didn't last time, Pa. Give me a kiss before you...
Ain't got time! Gotta get a scootin'.

I already offered:

I'm going to go ahead and extend this offer now: Josh, if you feel like BFL is is trouble and you're not able to make the chips/boards/miners work, please, let me come and help you guys.  I can contribute quite a variety of technical and nontechnical skills.  My price is only one Single per week worked.  (Obviously if the project fails I lose too and get nothing.)  I will sign NDAs.

I made this same offer to Tom, but he did not accept.  Don't go out like that.

I have not yet received a response.

I do not doubt you would be a great asset. But...do you really think you can turn this company around?

We would need to clone you and replace every position available for it to work...

I can't find where it says "must have access to an Avalon in China" but man, that would indeed be a sign of defeat... and I like it!

Engineer - Mandarin language skills (Must live in Asia, and access to an Avalon)
 Engineer - North America     (bring an ASIC with your resume)

Kinda strange they require applicants to have an Avalon or ASIC. Could they be trying to fake numbers using an Avalon? Hrmm...

What's even more creepy is that I could do the same video, and with the except of hair length you probably couldn't tell either one of us apart. Second thought, my sister has some hair extensions she hasn't be using lately. Hmmm!
