Did BFL mine with my unit for 3 weeks before shipping it to me?

[Xian01]

Yeah, if I posted the kind of crap you do, I'd want to remain anonymous, too!

 Ok, so lets recap again;

1 ) You abuse this community in a well documented fashion
2 ) I call you on it. In a most incendiary fashion after having been led on for months of broken promises at being an early adopter of your products.
3 ) You get upset and fire me as a customer. Force a refund on my orders.
4 ) I continue calling you on your poor behavior on these forums
5 ) You have since moved to deny refunds in violation of Federal Trade Comission rules.
6 ) Paypal has fired you.
7 ) Continue missing your shipping estimates.
8 ) You try to silence me, again, through intimidation, for continuing to shine the light on your unwavering contempt of this community and your own customers

 And you have the audacity to sling an accusation of raving lunatic because I'm exposing you and holding you to account and making sure this community is aware of your history ?  I need to most strenuously disagree with your personality assessment knowing full well the abuse you have doled out to your customers over the last year. If you repeatedly treat people badly, they are going to defend themselves and lash out eventually.

 You cause people to lose significant amounts of money, you can bet they will inform the larger community of the anecdotes and experiences they have had with your enterprise, on basic principle.

 You have only made yourself and Butterfly Labs look worse with this latest stunt of yours. I fear you lack the self-awareness to recognize this

 Finally, thank you for admitting that you broke your own privacy policy.

Sure thing, hotpants:

 I'm really not sure it's possible for you to stoop any lower, or become more even reviled in this community by posting extrapolations like that. I would expect no less from you. Bravo.
 
 I suppose it's really easy to make those connections in reverse when you have my billing info from being a prior customer, huh ?

 Shameful behavior from a company figurehead, to be sure.

I think their bullshit is comming to an end....be quietly confident that Josh Zerlan's name is smeared all over the internet in the same manner as a dog wipes it arse on the carpet after a bad case of diarrhea..

He may have breached so many laws that its beyond the scope of what is supposed to

a) be morally correct
b) is the law

I just hope he has mined the living shit out btc with their personal mining operation as the prospect of him getting a job ANY where else is practically zero.

Being famous is nice but INFAMY lives on forever

WTF Inaba  Why are you giving out personal information  IE:useing a persons REAL name

Very mature dude  

His name is already public knowledge, I didn't reveal anything he hasn't already revealed himself.  Try to keep up, man.  I know it's hard, what with the reading and all, but try to read above a 2nd grade level.

As I said,very mature    Just because that info was made public sometime ago,its not ok to repost it     Your day will come,trust me  

BTW,I have to stoop to a 2nd grade level when reading your dribble  

Go Fuck yourself,I can say that now that I have no orders with BFL  

[roy7]

By the way, where are my Jalepenos that I ordered 6 months ago?

The one I ordered in April arrived this week. So you should be very close if you ordered in late April.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Madness!  

[dogie]

He's going to jail, be it tomorrow or in 5 years. Hope you sleep well at night waiting for your door being kicked in at 5am.

<more insults and the like>

You're way over the line. Do you even understand your behaviour is even way outside of what is considered rude by most standards?

This forum can't be rid of you too soon. You've poisoned the atmosphere with your trolling and still continue to do so with your personal attacks, lying, defrauding and stirring unrest. Seems the only reason you're still allowed to post is because you buy adspace here. Too bad the admin likes money more than integrity.

I believe it's time to collectively ignore this guy, folks. Life's too short.

all the in hand BFL equipment on ebay speaks for itself.....  just because it took a little longer than expected to deliver.....   they are shipping tons of units!  either that or people are selling the save 500 units back and forth on ebay constantly....

Like a nasty car wreck on the road I just can't help but look to see the carnage that Incubus lays to waste every time he types

[Blazed]

Amazing these forums are this greedy and allow this guy to scam still.

[Noogsy]

I guess they even did worse things to your unit before shipping it!

I found 20 "in hand" units for sale on ebay. People are still bidding for them. Silly.

[YipYip]

Madness!  

....lolz

I have ..as its the same deflection from the real question ...attack and abuse all

I think u are not seeing that every BFL owner knows that his unit is a space heater thats all

[Ytterbium]

Avalon folks have a lot more to be pissed at.  Believe you-me, I'm not defending them as I would much rather have gotten my hardware when it would still earn back what I paid, but at what point is enough... enough?  

Are you smoking crack?  People who ordered Avalon chips got refunds.  Most of the Avalon OEMs gave refunds as well.

Claiming that Avalon customers are worse off then BFL customers is totally delusional.

WTF Inaba  Why are you giving out personal information  IE:useing a persons REAL name

Very mature dude  

It's as a warning to any other victims of the BFL scam, that if they dare to criticize the shit-flinging Inaba monkey, they too will be outed.

It's ironic, Josh seems to take a lot of pleasure in the fact that he's already screwed over his haters. But I never purchased anything from him, in fact his total failure at life has meant I've made a lot of extra money with my B2 Avalon.

Also I keep seeing this claim that "most people who tried to make ASICs failed".  That's not true at all. Everyone who's tried has succeeded, except for bASIC. Name one other ASIC maker who's failed?  As far as I can tell, there are none.

[Xelpherpolis]

I am quite interested to see what happens after that personal information was made public. That's a real no go displaying private emails to the public.

[Ytterbium]

Oh, btw - Josh's excuse makes zero fucking sense:

We just build equipment and ship it out as fast as it's built.  For your specific question, I have no idea... the most likely scenario is the unit has a different MOSFET and was shelved until we got a new firmware rev that addressed a heat issue with those specific MOSFETs, at which point it was pulled off the shelf, reflashed, retested and sent out. 

It could be any number of other scenarios, but what is definitely isn't is BFL holding equipment back and mining with it.  Every unit we manufacture is shipped within ~24 hours of it being assembled, sometimes a bit longer, depending on when it goes onto the burn-in rack, but no more than 48 hours.

How exactly did they manage to BUY THE WRONG MOSFETS six months into production?

[Xian01]

 Who is going to hold him to account or punish him ? Certainly not the forum owners and moderators here. Think Jody or Sonny are going to say anything that he violated their privacy policy to attempt intimidation of a critic and former customer ?

 It's should be criminal what Butterfly Labs and Josh are getting away with.

 Hell, I bet Theymos and the mods are pointing-and-laughing at all this.

EDIT: Heck, it's arguable Theymos is aiding and abetting at this point.
