BFL 20 April 2013

[repentance]

I said I would post everyday we ship an ASIC. I saw 2 Jalapenos leave the plant today. The first ones go to developers/reviewers. You have to have software to run them so don't cry because they get them first. I expect to see several more leave next week. It's very exciting for our employees to see units ship even though they are not yet bound for true customer homes.

Seriously, "...don't cry..." about not getting the product you should have had months ago? I feel like they truly care about me as a customer.

[Frankie Delaney]

They have a plant now? when did they get a plant?

[minternj]

Guess my shares on bitminter gonna go down a little very soon.

Best comments ever:

3 comments:
 1) "They need software...". Excuse me? What is this supposed to mean? Are your "reviewers" going to write the software? Or are they going to review your software-less product's excellent characteristics as a paperweight/doorstop? I don't see how this can be an argument in your suggestion, which brings us to item two:

 2) "Don't cry...". I'm a big boy, so I'm not going to, but I have to say that this tone is far below the level of professionalism I would expect from a company representative. "Please understand" or "please don't get upset" would be okay, but "don't cry" is inappropriate.

 Lastly, and perhaps most importantly: 3) "trickle". It's high time to turn that trickle into a FLOOD! Two today and (hopefully) "a few more next week" won't cut it. Time is money. Time to deliver.

MAKE IT FLOOD YOU BITCH ASS JODY

Quick, change the title of the thread to BFL 420-2013 or BFL 420 Update before anybody notices. Three demerits for not thinking of it yourself.

I still have trouble wrapping my head around 9/11 meaning 11 September, never mind 420 as code for 20 April.

Here's a recent interview with Josh of Butterfly Labs where he thanks a customer for their order.

Guess I should have made this thread self-moderated...

It seems like BFL said "screw it" and are just going to ship Jalapenos in SC Single cases for every order.

All images for a Jalapeno through the Single have been changed to look like a Single now:

What i don't get, is the pictures for the jalapeno appear to actually be a case photographed from different angles, but the little single and single are still images flipped in photoshop MS paint.

It's a very civilised thing to use guys like this as material for laughter; I find myself able not just to troll, but to easily perceive benefits to draconian and brutal ancient societies which would tie the administrators of BFL to whipping posts, and can also easily imagine myself there giving members of a furious mob one whip each from a store equalling in number the days BFL exceeded their order-page shipping estimates.

He is talking about 420, as in national pot day.  Given the reference to 9/11, I'm guessing your wine has aged a bit huh?

You're evil, but in a good way.  Stay thirsty my friend.

[PulsedMedia]

They have a plant now? when did they get a plant?

Maybe they have a cactus or vikus or something at the office?

I understand the reference to national pot day but because our date format is d/m and we don't generally speak dates as number/number unless we're giving our birth date or something, I don't make those associations automatically.  Anything which uses American dating as a reference point always seems a bit pretentious to me when it's being used by non-Americans.

Is that Waldo or BFL clown Josh they are very similiar but at least Waldo kept his mouth shut and didnt call customers scumbag, trailer trash, peices of shit.

I only do that when the person is a scumbag, trailer trash or piece of shit.  Take Frizz for example... the ultimate piece of shit, but yet maintains an order with BFL.  

Vote with your dollars!  If you don't like BFL, cancel your order!  But the biggest loudmouths are the ones who bitch and moan, lie and cheat and then complain when they aren't treated like royalty.  We don't want customers like that, how hard is that to understand?  We want customers who are profitable, sane and able to make rational statements, not the crazy kind like Frankie and Frizz.

I mean shit, at least PuertoTrolltard has enough self respect and common sense to NOT have an order with BFL and then goes about lying and trolling.  I gotta give him some credit for that, at least.

I'm not here to take sides or stick my nose in the fire, but I was taken aback by this post.

No matter how you feel about said individuals, given your relationship with BFL this type of affront is disrespectful, unprofessional and serves no real purpose. You are doing no justice to the product you hope to one day serve up or the entity that stands behind it. You're in a tough fucking spot (and I empathize with your struggle) but that is no excuse.

These clowns who have FUCK BFL blah blah in their signature act that way largely because of this type of post from BFL employees. It's one thing to miss deadlines, its another to be a dick about it (even if you are only reacting to others attacks).

Your behavior reflects on everyone around you. This is your party, remember? You call the shots so do it with some dignity. Despite the fucks that may say otherwise, we want to see you succeed. It's in everyone's best interest. Rise above, we know you can.

BFL are biggest trolls ever, they just don't give a flying one, lol

Or continue doing what he's doing, allowing the whole world to see what BITCOIN is if, by happenstance, they stumble upon a post by Josh as their first introduction to Bitcoin.

Whats your excuse for lying Josh? Possibly some sort of mental disorder? Or just a piece of shit criminal?

/points at the 490,000 Avalon chips ordered.
Your customers are going to be so happy they didn't have their BFLs for the last 7 months (and probably the next 2).
5GH/s isn't going to seem so special when 300THash/s comes online.
They will probably make their money back at least.
Grats on finally shipping something.
