Was that bet on one of Sonny's betting sites or another bitcoin betting site? Also did the guys who won the bet since the deadline wasn't meant did they have good odds and came out good?

Great, at least this time you quoted what I actually said. You will note that at no point did I say BFL had actually shipped it (at the time).

So.. a company that lied time and again about their products told us they sent something to someone who lies time and again about the origins of his/and other peoples software and its capabilities.
Sure this is no aprils fools joke, but yet another step in this endless scam called "BFL asics".
wow! So this is the kind of stuff that was written about butterfly labs when I was working there and Bruce still works there? And they're still lying today as in today?

You claimed you had a shipping label and tracking number for the device but declined to show either of them. Somehow you manage to reconcile those two statements with BFL not shipping the device (thus no tracking number or label) and you not having the device (because it was still at BFL). BFL was paying you at the time to develop the mining software. BFL stood to gain 1000 BTC (now worth roughly $600,000) if they could claim the device had shipped by April 1st. That is why you have no credibility on the subject of BFL. It has already been demonstrated that you are willing to deceive if the stakes are high enough.

I didn't show the tracking number for reasons I stated. Somehow you manage to reconcile those two statements with BFL not shipping the device (thus no tracking number or label) and you not having the device (because it was still at BFL). Don't forget the context of the tracking number/label bit. I was responding to pedantry with pedantry. BFL was paying you at the time to develop the mining software. Are you claiming I said that too, or are you just stating random rumours from people who wouldn't know as if they are truth? BFL stood to gain 1000 BTC (now worth roughly $600,000) if they could claim the device had shipped by April 1st. I don't know anything about that. But to use present-day valuation for something that occurred in the past is ridiculous. That is why you have no credibility on the subject of BFL. It has already been demonstrated that you are willing to deceive if the stakes are high enough. What stakes? I gained absolutely nothing from your so-called "deception" (where I stated only the truth). Edit: Also, I'm curious what stakes you think there are in this thread? I don't see any stakes for anyone...

I bet they have been selling to colo companies the whole time. Including for their 65NM chip products.
Pre-orders to raise cash. Build equipment. Sell large quantities of in-hand equipment to bulk purchase farms (because they wont drop 3M on a preorder. They need immediate delivery.). Try to catch up with the original consumer orders after the farms aren't interested anymore.
Thus defrauding the consumers.
It seems pretty obvious now.
YES. If ANY of this is true its pretty obvious where the "bullet run" of "BROKEN" chips went. They claim they are all defective, OK SURE. Their co-conspirators to this huge scam get their BIGTIME orders for their farms right away and they keep up the ruse of 2 more weeks over and over. This might be my favorite BFL thread of all time because alot of shit is coming to light here. The bigtime farms get there stuff right after payment, mine for months on low difficulty, and the little customers sit here with a BFL dick in the ass. OMFG I hope these guys BURN soon in court / jail.

Sorry Luke.You burned your credibility when you claimed BFL shipped you product oh so long ago, when in fact it was sitting at BFL labs the whole time. Don't put words in my mouth, thanks. I'm not trying to pick a fight or stir up stuff but I can't help but comment on this for a little humor. "Those goals just look so delicious! Mmm!" "Don't put words in my mouth, thanks." One last and humor post for today. "Those goals just look so delicious! Mmm!" "Don't put words in my mouth, thanks." "I don't see any stakes for anyone..."

You claimed you had your ASIC device. You claimed you had a shipping label and tracking number for the device Both of which were true. Of course both are true, but tell us how close were you to the actual miner at the time of the post. Have you actually touched it or it was at BFL warehouse at the time of the post? BFL stood to gain 1000 BTC (now worth roughly $600,000) if they could claim the device had shipped by April 1st. I don't know anything about that. But to use present-day valuation for something that occurred in the past is ridiculous. You didn't know anything about the bet, but you posted right before the deadline? Please allow me to NOT believe that. And 1000BTC is 1000BTC no matter the exchange rate. It's somethin BFL gained just because of your post, not because of their direct actions.

I may have touched it a few weeks earlier when I was there in person, but it was being hosted by BFL until the rest of my order was ready. Where they had it physically located (their warehouse, office, or whatever) I don't know/care. BFL stood to gain 1000 BTC (now worth roughly $600,000) if they could claim the device had shipped by April 1st. I don't know anything about that. But to use present-day valuation for something that occurred in the past is ridiculous. You didn't know anything about the bet, but you posted right before the deadline? Please allow me to NOT believe that. I don't know anything about BFL having a stake in the bet, even to date (it's long enough ago that it's possible someone told me and I forgot). I don't think I'd seen the bet until after my post, either. I posted when BFL turned over my miner. Furthermore, nobody won the bet. It was called a draw. So even if BFL had made bets on their own delivery, they lost what their winnings would have been, they didn't gain. And 1000BTC is 1000BTC no matter the exchange rate. Yes, but 1000 BTC is not $600,000 no matter the exchange rate. Pretending it had today's value is what is ridiculous.

OMFG I hope these guys BURN soon in court / jail. Don't forget that same little guys that are waiting for monarchs may also have paid for mining contracts from the very hosting companies that are mining with the devices made from the chips that are suppose to be in miners that they have been waiting for and Sonny has a vested interested in all of them. I only regret not knowing all this when I was working there because I may have done things differently. If Bruce's cred wasn't shoot all to hell he could let you guys into so much more stuff than I could even though I believe I helped out as much as possible.

So since the unit wasn't actually delivered to you then it's fair to say that the bet should have ended as a Lose for BFL and the one that made the Draw decision was wrong. Also your statement from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=163261.msg1713137#msg1713137 is just a lie because you didn't had the unit at the time of the post. BFL had your unit, not you. Quote from: Miner99er on April 01, 2013, 08:21:13 AM For this bet to be won tho, there needs to be a shipping label and/or tracking number.
Luke's reply: There is, but I'd prefer not to give the trolls my personal info. There was no shipping label at the time of the post if the unit was in BFL's warehouse. Lie again. Or there was a shipping label ready sitting right next to the unit in the warehouse. No shipping occurred before or on 1st April. There goes your credibility in this whole story since you covered up for BFL. And 1000BTC is 1000BTC no matter the exchange rate. Yes, but 1000 BTC is not $600,000 no matter the exchange rate. Pretending it had today's value is what is ridiculous. I agree.

By the terms of the bet, it actually should have been a Win for the BFL side. Um, no. You're trying to be pedantic, but failing.

By the terms of the bet, it actually should have been a Win for the BFL side. I can't find the original terms of the bet, but please enlighten me why it should have been a Win for BFL. Not English native, but having something that hasn't been delivered yet is weird for me.

No shipping occurred before or on 1st April. I never claimed it did. So you claim that you received a shipping label, but the unit was hashing in BFL's warehouse? When exactly did you received your shipping label and when did your unit stopped hashing so that it could be sent to you?

I received the tracking number in the same conversation as (eventually) setting up remote access to my miner. I don't recall when it was finally shipped exactly - months later due to further delays of the minirigs. P.S. If someone who I know I can trust with my privacy wants to waste their time confirming it exists as stated, I wouldn't mind sharing it with them. I just confirmed FedEx still has record of it (including at least origin, date, and destination).

So you state that the bet should be a Win for BFL, but you don't want to back up the statement with anything. I won't bother searching for it (maybe k9quaint will do it), but anyone can create a shipping label anytime and can use it at a later time (like in your case) so that can't be your reason, as for actually having the unit that is off too since you claimed to have it in BFL's warehouse. So that's it everyone. Luke-Jr thinks that the bet should be a Win for BFL because they created a shipping label and they plugged his unit from their warehouse! This is his definition of having the unit.
