Haters gonna hate on you BFL. Now all the FPGA designers are screwed by your product, they are fighting back with more BS and bad mouthing your company after they saw they are screwed and that this may be indeed, real after all. If I were you ( FPGA designers ), I would move to Russia because you seem to hate competition. Here in Russia they love monopolies ! Welcome. Free market FTW. I guess after about some time the people who buy BFL products now are screwed too as 28nm products come out in 2012 ?
Actually, competition is one thing, unfair competition is another. There's a reason
bait-and-switch is
illegal.
Also, as RandyFolds nicely pointed out, I
never "shouted scam" about BFL. If you review my posts made about this, the most direct address I ever made to the "scam" question was in this post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.633227Where I said the following:
I'm certainly not claiming that I know BFL is a scam, but I do find it very suspicious. To summarize, here are the things that strike me as at least a little bit odd about them:
And then went on to summarize some of the outstanding questions I and others had about BFL. Most of those questions are still outstanding, such as the alleged "other applications" claim. Judging by the test results, it does appear to be FPGA based, but they claimed before that it couldn't do anything other than SHA256. Still waiting for clarification on that. If it truly can only do two-step SHA256, claiming that it has other applications is seriously misleading, and is another way that they are attempting to compete unfairly.
For the most part, I intentionally tried to avoid the discussion because of my obvious conflict-of-interest.
