Darin M. "Bicknellski" Bicknell has tried to run several companies.  After being turned down legally in his native Canada to start a school and being unable to hold down a job for more than a year, he was forced to flee to Indonesia to create an illegal "school" for children.  He is currently actively trying to scam people with his bitcoin mining companies, lets take a look at them according to his list:

Quote
1. Few incidents of delays in shipping.

Was completely unable to deliver on his first attempt, even though all parts were supplied by someone else.  This is an infinite delay.
Is now currently delayed for his new "modular" junk miners that don't even function and you have to build it yourself, though he's still trying to run a pre-order scam.

Quote
2. Under promise and over deliver.
Failed to delivery a single working device after numerous promises.

Quote
3. Follow truth in advertising guidelines.
Advertised for working mining devices, failed to deliver a single one.

Quote
4. Polite and concerned customer service people.
Has no customer service people.

Quote
5. Company maintains an open line of communication with the community at all times.
Maintains open line of communication, which is required to run a scam such as the Hive & Wasp, as well as the "Big Picture Mining" scam.

Quote
6. They provide clear policy for refunds and REFUND upon request without delay.
Finally refunded people after it was clear he was completely unable to deliver on his "Big Picture Mining" scam.  Held on to peoples funds for a period of time, using those funds to enrich himself through trading and arbitrage.

Quote
7. Set a clear shipping date for miners.

Failed to set a clear shipping date, but even without setting a clear date was unable to ship a single product.

Quote
8. Provide secure methods of payment that allow for the customer to be protected should there be any dispute.
Who knows?

Quote
9. Few complaints and those complaints are resolved to the ultimate satisfaction of the buyer in a very timely fashion.
I'm sure those people who finally got a refund after losing the opportunity cost of "purchasing" from Darin M. Bicknell are happy as clams.

Quote
10. The company will have reliable and experienced engineers designing the miner, chip and software / firmware.
Has no engineers and can not even deliver a product where all components are designed, programmed and manufactured by someone else.

Quote
11. Focus on reliability engineering where there is an emphasis of dependability in the lifecycle management of a product.
Has no product, so reliability isn't a concern.  Has no engineers, so no engineering has been done.

Quote
12. The shipped product doesn't require additional hours of tweaking and post engineering to get it mining optimally.

Has no shipped product, so no additional hours are required.  His new Hive and Wasp require extensive engineering capabilities to even get functioning (Supply your own chips!).  LOL

....

Wow, so Darin can't even satisfy a single point of his list, and he's run two failed ventures so far and he continues to scam people out of BTC.  Yep, real upstanding guy there, that Darin M. Bicknell. Quality fellow!  Runs an illegal school in Indonesia and runs BTC hardware scams on the side, all the while trolling his "competition" with lies and misinformation.  Awesome guy!

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.

I think the poll results are wrong.  BFL is highly reliable.  I know I can rely on them to be about 6 months late delivering any new product line.

I'm sure I'll be able to rely on them again when it comes to Monarch delivery.

KnCMiner has 8 votes? What did they ever do?

Avalon has 24 votes.. Probably because this turned into another BFL thread. There are people that got robbed by Avalon. BFL is nothing compared to Avalon and Yifu the scumbag. May I suggest you guys do some research and focus on real scammers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140974.480

There is plenty of scam in BFL. Just ask those waiting still on refunds. As someone that barely escaped the Avalon Chip Buy fiasco I can agree that Avalon is just as bad or worse than BFL. However neither company are reliable and could easily share the title. The difference being Inaba being an utter tool towards most of his customer base as evidenced clearly in this forum often drives or pushes people to vote more often against BFL. They are still to garner a single most RELIABLE vote either. I wonder why?

How is terrahash not winning this poll?  BFL shipped, Terrahash can't even refund half of customer's money.  We're talking about reliability here, not lateness.
I see your point but most of the BFL customer where lied to and could not get a refund ~ They have terrible customer service and have NO respect for any of their costomer (your just a number to them). Everyone who invested into this BFL ended up losing moneyBTCBTCBTC$. We were promised a two week turn around (I don’t know of any one that received their rig in two weeks Huh ) Every one waited 6 to 1yrs1/2 to receiver their rigs Sad

That’s great that you have Faith in BFL ~ I truly DO hope they deliver on time but they already punched it a month later from the original date ~ If they were truly Confident in their delivery date they would offer some sort of refund IF they dont deliver on TIME or your money BACK! Keep your customer happy! :0)  Tongue

Amazing... the low road KING is posting about taking the high road!  And here I thought Bickski couldn't stoop any lower.

How's that FRC investment doing Bick old boy?  Looks like it's lost over 1/2 it's value in the last 24 hours.  My Monarch order is still worth $2800 and still only cost me 2.03BTC, so looks like I still win.  Course, I happened to sell at $1000 and bought back at $550, so now I even have the BTC I spent back.  Win/Win for me Cheesy.

I do not suffer fools gladly... "Captain!  We're surrounded!"
I embrace my inner Kool-Aid.

I love this... It's like talking a poll at the Republican Caucus asking which party is the worst and then pointing at it and saying "Scoreboard Bro!".  Don't mean shit cause the results are skewed.  Too bad you fail so much at understanding life "BRO".  Maybe once you figure out how to take a truly UNBIASED poll it might means something.

I also notice you have clammed up on your tapeout whine... is that because you realize you've been had?  Your constant rant about 17 weeks from 'today' was funny and kept the BFL name at the top of this forum, but now you've dropped it and I notice it happened after the post Josh made on the BFL forums and quoted here about the Feb delivery dates.  I'm just curious if you actually did a backwards calculation and figure out that the tapeout had to have already occurred ~2 months ago to meet with your "17 weeks from tapeout" rant in order to be delivered in Feb?  Regardless, keep up the good work.  I know I can count on you to keep BFL's name at the top of the forums.

Bick has rapidly supplanted PuertoFailbre as my most loved and useful minion.  I am pleased as to how easy he is to manipulate... makes PL and the Clown Crew look like certified geniuses by comparison.

The scoreboard is awesome.  Out of 40,000 customers, 231 have voted negatively... so by Bick's and LittleD(umbass)'s logic, over 39,000 people are happy and satisfied with BFL.  39,000 satisfied customers... no other vendor even has that many customers, satisfied or not. 

BOOM!  Scoreboard, BRO! 50x the satisfied customers as any other vendor!

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.

Just a suggestion, why don't you make your own poll with just one question: "Are you a satisfied customer of BFL"?
Do it on your own forum only for customers who have actually bought something from you.
Then, come back to report Wink

Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own blockchain. With blackjack and hookers! In fact forget the blockchain.
