you think they will fold?

Or, you could say it is a second round of funding in disguise. (pure speculation though)

BFL can turn it into extra revenue to resell the FPGA miners back to the community as litecoin miner or other alternate currency.

Or they could sell it to the folding @ home crowd and make a pretty penny.

That guy snuck into CES with fake identification for the purpose of harassing Josh/BFL. TWICE. I would be pretty pissed off if I were in Josh's shoes. The "total asshole" is the guy who made the video.

You made another good point.

But why return something that doesn't belong to you if nobody can proof that, and you can get a boatload of money from by selling them again?

Here we have supposedly BFL_Josh, Being a total asshole at the CES

Not resell them. Return them. Who's to say they actually paid for the chips they sanded off?

He's just upset that we get Christmas sooner.

Where?
Coz that is something that I certainly have much disrespect for.

I'm not of a persuasion that is usually a target of racial comments, though Luke-Jr made this comment to me recently due to him being wrong about something:
... which I'm not sure that even falls under the heading of a racial comment directed at me, but anyway ...
I've never had issue with who I associate with based on race and find it quite unacceptable to suggest that race is reason for pretty much any negative comment or action and will usually make comment about it when I see something that is clearly racist.

@puerto libre:

You forgot some points

They ask for "upgrade" preorder customers to send them their FPGA or money.
The happy beliebers do as asked (like this http://youtu.be/AOOs8MaR1YM)
They disappear ....

Serious question:

What's the actual resale value of that FPGA chip in a Single or a mini rig?

A spartan is between 75 to 100$ (I guessed here; seeing Toms offer )

So could it be that they intend to sell these FPGAs for making additional income?

Avalon MAY be first,no news of thier 14th of Jan shipping being on time,no mention of a delay either though.

But,from MY veiwpoint,thier products power consumption is very high,at least for the longterm calculations I've done.................

IF BFL's power #'s are correct (they have been wrong before) they'll be worth waiting for,again IMO,we have to wait & see   Or I will at least  

Josh is supposed to have an "update" very soon............soooo

Drama scenario:

✓ BFL is siting on customer money with delayed ASIC chips. Now on their third or fourth delay.
✓ BFL's competitor takes a tail spin and sells out...and can't refund orders fast enough.
✓ BFL's competitor locks down their forum.
✓ BFL begins to ask their own customers to reconsider refunding their orders in the wake of the panic of their competitor. Confidence is at an all time low.

Come mid-January:
✓ BFL announces yet another delay. Promises starting the deliveries by the end of the month.
✗ BFL customers assume they are pulling a bASIC scene on them.
✗ BFL customers have the final straw and begin the next (and possibly final) wave of cancellations.

✗  Avalon ships on time. (The turtle has now beat the hare to the finish line)

✓ The BFL customer reps having nothing to say for themselves other than it will be out "soon".
✓ They try to charm their customers by posting useless developments that in the end don't mean anything.
✓ BFL customers ask for more than they paid, BFL refuses (already have multiple times).
✗ Bad sentiments grow as their own customers see others getting their orders and start hashing like crazy.
✗ The bad sentiments and anger grow as pictures of Avalon units are posted and the difficulty increases.
✗ The post-wave cancellations come and BFL probably will do the same as bASIC.

The final straw that broke the camels back:

✗ Avalon opens the second batch now accepting orders by the thousands. Taking in both bASIC and BFL customers from either company.

Why would an actual "BFL apologist" put in in their profile? Why would an actual troll put it in their sig?


There's a post right here in this thread pointing out that IP issues in China are real.

me too.

Who cares?

I want my 65nm ASICs now.

You are a BFL apologist and practically the only one who did agree with him.

Moving on beyond that, you'd changed your signature and profile since then. I don't need to say much more.

I'm not convinced that his original post was ever "laced with stereotypes". It seems more like seeing what you expect to see. Since you already judged him as evil long ago, if a post of his includes the word china, it must be racist, right?

The scenario continues as expected!

I am not the one who made it. Josh did.

He knew I was hispanic long before these posts. Don't believe that BS or his lying nature.

I seriously hope you folks are not that gullible.

This is so true .... But believers will continue to evengalize every shit that flows from BFL.
As I mentioned before BFLism or Asicism is kind of a religion at the moment..... Never ever raid doubts in that:(
I'm glad I didn't order and I'll never will (even if that results in not mining anymore)!

As a warning:

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SEND THEM MORE FIAT, BTC OR YOUR FPGA....

Ps:yes I'm a troll!:)
